In the morning we went to Fairmont Gold where we were treated to a free breakfast...it was lovely! They had a spread of breads, cheese platter, fruit platter, meat platter, oatmeal, parfaits, desserts, cereals...anything you could want! We were in a celebratory mood because we were not attacked by ghosts at all...so we sure ate UP! Here is Tiff and Justin enjoying the spread, but not enjoying the fact that I felt I needed to document almost every meal here HAHAHA
Here is my meal - it looks pretty posh I think! I haven't had berries since being home and I miss them A LOT...they are like $5-6 a small container which I cannot afford! Certain foods that I used to eat at home I find I am giving up...but I'm not hard done by or anything...its just you need to economize.
Here I am in Coal Harbour on a piece of art using my Fairmont umbrella (which by the way..if you lose or decide to take home...its $30 plus tax....hells no would I pay that!).
Coal Harbour again - but the reason I took this picture was because of the yellow house boat. My camera doesn't have zoom....long story....so I couldn't really get a close up but I thought it was just the coolest!
At the beginning of the day I sent Erica here a quick facebook message hoping we could meet up. She went to St.Raph's in Burlington and Olivia is in the same grade as her brother Scotty. Her mom had given me her email at Marilus - and we had messaged through facebook a bit. I figured what did I have to lose so I asked if she wanted to get together for a few drinks (she has been living in BC since the summer). We went to a neat place called "The Cactus Club" - I had an amazing drink that had crushed up kiwi in it...for the life of me I can't remember what it was called...Brazillian something! Anyways I'm really glad I asked to meet b/c we all got along famously! We are planning a road trip to Seattle sometime before the spring for a little state side shopping and to stay the the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle!
Home safe and sound now. I originally had thought my computer had died...but I think it is just the power cord (THANK GOD!) which I've ordered online so hopefully it doesn't crap out again...definitely cannot afford the $1000 to get a new one...HAHA
For those of you who had sent me letters, presents over the holidays will FINALLY be getting your thank you cards in the mail over the next week! Thank you all so much!
Time to head down to the post office and grab some more movies from the library! It seems a bit surreal that I am no longer in vacation mode but living my life anyway I see fit mode. Teacher's College is something in my future that I want to do, but definitely not for a while. I know people probably think I won't go back...but I'm sure there are more important things for them to worry about concerning whether I'm going to get another piece of paper of post-grad or not. I am completely enjoying my life. The travelling and life experiences I want to achieve before I settle down are completely worth not starting my RRSPs or planning my distant future. Thank you everyone who has nurtured my ability to connect and explore different situations and meeting new people. I don't think I need to name off names or anything because those of you who have helped me know the special place you hold in my heart. I am positive that these journeys which I am travelling through will only make me a better mother and wife when I do choose to settle down....likely when I'm 58 HAHAHA
Love you all lots,
Hails
