Skim Milk - let's not get too crazy...

I had some amazing plans for this Thanksgiving Weekend that got cancelled at the last minute. So instead of my super-awesome-fun-random plans (which may or may not have included smashing pumpkins off of Hells Gate), I decided that in order to make it up to myself, I would spoil myself with a very special Kamloops-Style thanksgiving.

I'm halfway through the weekend and so far my special Kamloops Thanksgiving weekend has included the following:

Exciting, big purchases like milk. (skim, lets not make this weekend toooooo crazy!)

Being lazy and sleeping in all the way until 7am!

Running.

Exploring the magic world of my over-stuffed, very dirty storage room. As I was cleaning it out I pretened I was on my way to Narnia. This Narnia however did not involve James MacAvoy (who is stupid anyways), but instead involved fun, environmentally friendly things like snow tires, extra car oil, camping supplies, a broken fishing pole, way too many tennis balls for one person to own - especially when that person hasn't played tennis for 14 months, Jehovah Witnesses (no joke) and a surprising number of bungee cords that I don't even remember purchasing.

Searching for my 'work sheet' - you know, that old blanket that you use for painting and carrying dirty things - it's covered in 47 different colours of paint, dead leaves, twigs, dirt, and oil stains. When I described it to Vanessa as I was looking for it, she looked me straight in the eye and said "oh, the one that is on my bed?"

Then I put on my Barkerville outfit, bonnet, apron and pretended I was a pioneer as I harvested my garden. Ok, maybe I didn't put on the outfit or bonnet, but I did harvest my garden.

So, as you can see, I've had a VERY exciting, fun-filled weekend. And the good news is that it is only half over! Who knows what exciting things tomorrow might bring!!! I'm thinking a turkey-coma, maybe some rummykub with my pops, a bit o' tv, a nap, maybe even, and I don't want to get tooooo nuts here, but perhaps I'll even read a book! My blood pressure is going up just thinking of all the excitement tomorrow holds for me!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
