gobbly gobble

Hope you all (all 2 of you who read this) had a great Thanksgiving! Sounds like the family had a good get-together, and some 'lovely' (because that's subjective) weather to go along with it.
I decided to stay in Victoria, thinking it would be a quiet, relaxing time, in which I could be thankful for peace. However, I actually ended up being pretty busy...
IVCF Friday night saw me being part of the worship team (there were two of us, both playing guitar), and then hanging around for a long time after, chatting and teaching people to play euchre (is anyone in Ontario aware that it's not well known out here on the West Coast?). I was up early Saturday morning to head to friends' for breakfast, which was very lovely and muchly appreciated! I hung around for a while after eating, playing XBox and going for a walk in the woods. I got home just in time to see the start of the Leafs game, and also watched the Canucks game following it, both of which were fantastic, and in both cases the right team won 4-3 in overtime!! I won't say anymore about that, although I could.
Sunday I went to Arbutus Christian Fellowship, as Alison and I are considering switching from Trinity to the aforementioned church. This Sunday's experience was definitely an indicator that this could be a good decision, but I'm still praying about it, and it's not definite yet ... Sunday evening I was invited over to a friends to watch 300 with a group of people, and invitation which I had to accept. I mean really, if someone invited me to a disgusting jail cell in the depths of an abandoned, rat-infested warehouse to watch 300 I'm not sure I could turn it down. That could actually potentially add something to the experience. :) So yeah, that was fun.
Yesterday I did attend a scrumptious Thanksgiving dinner, with the requisite turkey and stuffing. Thanks to Brian (and yes, I told him, because it's not like he's ever going to read it here) for preparing that delicious stuffing, and for co-hosting. In other news ... well, there's not really any. Alison returned home safely after being in Vancouver all weekend. I'm at work today, and trying to think of creative ways to spend my time (what's left, after finishing this blog). Hazelnut coffee is good, but does hurt my stomach. My nephew has a name (Everest), and from all accounts is just darling.

This post has been brought to you by the characters '(', ')', and my dream where the brakes of the car I was driving didn't work.

I can think of at least three people who read your blog.

Are you and alison a couple?

Good, I was worried about you having a dinner to go to.

Alison is my housemate, she has a boyfriend, we're both heterosexual, and why would you be worried?
Thanks for your interest, though ... and yeah, I actually didn't realize my parents (or my Dad at least) actually check out my blog regularly ... and okay, I can think of 5, then. So I was dezaggerating, so sue me! :)

That wasn't a dream about not having brakes-remember the truck when M & D were away?

Lydia said...

Hahaha, true enough ... maybe that is where it came from
