Some Days · Mar 27, 10:14 PMBeen a while since I posted. No comments though, so probably no one has noticed. I officially have only four remaining work days until my month off! I sure do love having those months off. The no pay part sucks though, but still, a whole month to relax! Three times a year, no less. Well, let’s see. We spent the Easter weekend in Nanaimo at Julie and Jess’s new house. It was fun and chaotic and pleasant. Lara, Aaron, Dylan, and Kevin were also there with us, which made for lots of good fun.
And it’s been life as usual since then. The weather sucks these days. It’s cold and dreary, and today it even hailed and snowed for a while. Gross. But tomorrow is Friday, the second best day of the week (after Saturday), and we have a nice weekend ahead. Colin’s mom and Arden are going to be in town, so we’ll be having a family dinner on Saturday night, and spending some time with them on Sunday. And on Sunday evening, I have a scrapbooking class to look forward to. And next week we’ll be getting a visit from my sister and her friend, Michelle, as they pass through Vancouver with their U-haul, en route to Comox. They’ll spend a night with us before carrying on. It’ll be so wonderful to have my sister living so close. I’m still kind of in disbelief. She’ll be just a ferry ride away! Well, in other news, Colin and I have sort of been lamenting the fact that we don’t seem to have enough interests. Every night Colin comes home, we eat dinner together and watch TV until bed time. It’s kind of pathetic and leaves us with a feeling of discontent. We brainstormed for a while to see if we could come up with some sort of activity we could engage in one evening per week (in addition to ultimate, which starts in a couple months), but we came up blank. Why am I not interested in anything? I’m so boring. And so bored with my boring life. It feels like I’m just waiting for life to start. Waiting to go and sail around the world. Waiting to move to the island and buy that acreage and build our dream house. Just waiting. And I’m tired of it! But alas, no interests to get me out of the house. Blah. |

On Saturday we went out to a farm to take the kids and Brimley for a hay ride and an Easter egg hunt. Brimley was more interested in hunting for new types of poop though, and he was a little flabbergasted at the petting zoo. He’s never seen donkeys or goats or chickens or bunnies, and the experience was quite exciting for him. He desperately wanted to chase the bunnies, and he was quite frightened of the chickens. He seemed to enjoy life on the farm though, which bodes well for when we eventually get our little acreage and hobby farm going. Someday. 
Anyway, after the egg hunt, we went to the fabulous swimming pool in Nanaimo, soaked in the hottub, slid down the waterslides, splashed around with the kiddies. It was a blast. And then we had a wonderful barbecue for dinner that night at the house. Sleeping sucked though because we had our inflatable air mattress, and Colin’s seasonal allergies were bothering him, so he tossed and turned a lot, which meant I tossed and turned a lot too. And there were interruptions of various sorts. Needless to say, we were a bit sleepy upon our return on Sunday afternoon, so we had a nice long nap.
I noticed you hadn’t posted in a while! Maybe you guys could try pole dancing lessons, that’s popular these days.
