things that i wanted to accomplish during this 2-week break from routine life (may not be the right word when you see what i did... but stuff i wanted to do nonetheless)
* do the christmas shopping with rob for the first time ever
* chillout with a good book for hours at a time
* watch seasons 1 & 2 of pushing daisies - loved it!
* take the children toboganning, and more than once to boot
* make and freeze ALOT of turkey pot pie (this one hit the list very last minute when we saw fresh turkeys for 99¢ per pound - wow)
* catch up with my favorite serial killer: dexter
* hit bobby o'briens with the family for another free-for-all of yummy greasy food
* see my dear friend malcolm after a too-long absence
* take the neighbor's children to the movies as a big Thank-You for being reliable carrier substitutes
* help bosco with his Chile project
* get fierce out in the woods to try his new MEC cookstove - worked awesome
* get all the kids to play canasta with us - even fierce
* watch seasons 2 & 3 & 4 of nip/tuck (and thank god i didn't purchase them off kijiji; i forgot how gross - the upclose surgery, the feral sex, the general premise that cosmetic surgery is mainstream - it really was. i ended up watching the first 5 minutes to get the storyline, 2 segments of 3-5 min in the middle, and then the last 5 minutes to get the broad strokes)
* catch up with my blog posts
Wow! you got a lot accomplished. We spent most of the last 2 weeks trading various bugs through the house. I finally feel like I am in the land of the living again just in time to tackle planning and lessons.
