'trippin'

It has been an interesting week. Monday night, i went with Mel, Andrea, Shaun and J to watch "Lucky number sleven" - a freebee from work. It was really weird but the end was excellent. Unfortunately, Indy's car blew up that day, so he didn't come. Uggg... i hate car trouble. it blows.
Tuesday was a fun morning of running errands. I suckered Indy into coming with me (bwahhaha) so that was entertaining at least! If you haven't been into the new admin building on campus, you should really go and check out the latex inflatable display. it really is quite something.

Thursday was Mom's birthday. I had more freebee tickets, this time to "take the lead" - which was FANTASTIC. I picked up mom and dad after work and we went to the movie. Then AJ and i had organized to go past Tony Thomas so that she could see mom on her birthday and give her flowers. Mom was totally blindsided, since she thought going to see AJ was her idea... haha... we're SCHNEAKY!

J, Indy and i have been planning on going on a road trip since like Sept => originally it was meant to be Vancouver (ditchers) but 2 weeks ago i was inspired to go see the tunnels in Moose Jaw.  So 8am on Sunday morning J picked up Indy and I, and we set off for "little Chicago". Naturally the day started with a stop for breakfast at McD's... here we see J caressing Indy's neck.. ah affection... Silly boys.

When we finally got to Moose jaw (after much tormenting from the two of them - WHY did i sign up for driving long distances with them??? You don't know either?) it was about 10:30. so we drove around and looked at the town for a while. Then we went for an early lunch, since the tunnels only open at 12. We went on the Chicago tour - it was excellent! really well done. We came out with the nicknames of gigit, doorstop and charlie... all booze-deprived bootleggers... (US? NEVER)

We decided that since we were in MJ, we should catch ALL the local attractions, so we headed over to the casino/ temple gardens spa. I lost then recovered than lost my $5 (it happens) and the boys played a bit before we went swimming :) GORGEOUS!
Indy managed to tell the same lady (on 2 diff occasions) that "sorry about her... she's not from here" - which was pretty hilarious considering we didn't notice that it was the same lady until she started laughing.... JERK!

Greg phoned to come and catch up with us on his way back to Briarcrest, so we visited with him for a while. Since we were in Moose Jaw, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take pics with the giant moose  - Indy and J seem somewhat impressed with its anatomy... haha... so much to be said at this point.

awww.. more cuddling... so sweet.


And the love goes on and on. I did draw the line at wedding dress shopping. lol. life is good when you have a pair of crazy boys around :)

Anyway - to round off our day, we went to go watch "Ice age - the meltdown" at Galaxy. Very cute.
Its amazing - we packed so much stuff into one little day that by the time we were leaving the city at 9:30, it felt like we had been there for days. The perfect holiday.

Ah ha. the "richard" wave.  Really describes much of our drive home...

I'll be really disappointed if we don't get to go on another road trip - that would be a distinct plus for staying in 'toon for the summer - cos this one ROCKED!

anyway - i should REALLY be doing my very important paper right now.
So I'm going to SWITCH OFF my internet access and get going.

WISH ME WELL - ONLY 2 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT :) :) :) YIPPPEEE! (and EEEEKK!! This paper has to be in on THURSDAY!!!!)

ciao.
