Busy Busy Busy

Well, it has been a busy couple weeks. The new job is going well but has me doing plenty of driving. The perks to the new job are definately spending some free time in Edmonton. I was able to spend time with Shauna on Monday night. She was sick but we still got to chill out, eat popcorn and watch a movie. Now it would seem that she is into these older flicks so we watched an old movie called "what ever happened to baby jane" or something like that. It was made in the sixties sometimes, but had a much earlier feel, and I think that was on purpose, as the movie had quite a bit to do with "arressted development"

I am not sure yet whether I liked it or not. It was long, and there was plenty to think about. As well the characters were very intense. This film was made in a "different time", and I think the viewer needs to have lived in a "different time" in order to understand it. And that is where the movies true greatness comes out, because that is basically what the movie is about. Very strange, but I guess I do think it was a great movie after all.

I also took my mom and dad out for dinner to celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary on Monday. We went to Tony Romas, and it was the first time I have tried there original pork ribs...GOOD CHOICE....yummy. Mom and Dad are doing well. It sounds like Dad has 2 more years of work to go. Although it was one last year, so I think he is just going to keep putting it off, and putting it off, and putting it off.....And I wonder where I get my procrastination from. lol. Mom is doing well and getting a new car in January, she is excited about that. And it sounds like family matters down east are the same as always. I really need to think about getting out east in the spring for a visit, but I will keep you posted.

On tuesday, Kelly and I went for sushi, and it was nice to catch up with her. She is doing extremely well, and I am so proud of her for over coming so much in such a short amount of time. We spoke in length how I did not think she was going to make it. I honestly thought she would be dead soon, and now she is on top of the world. Well maybe not on top of it, but definatly climbing again. We also spoke about how the people you worry the most about end up doing ok, and the ones who you think should be able to pull there socks up, sometimes are the ones that dont make it. Life is funny that way I guess. Kelly is also starting at the mustard seed, so one all my clearances go through we can be "mustard seed buddies" lol. Anyway enough about kelly.

Elsewhere, Dyron and Sunde had there babies on the weekend. Ross and Clare, twins. WOW. I am sure there will be plenty of adventures to come, and I am sure Dyron and Sunde will make the best of parents. Happy Parenting.

I am just about finished making up my NewYearsResolutions. They are pretty harsh, but I think the rewards will be awesome. As well I am thinking about picking up a rental property next year in Ontario. The prices there are affordable, and with another investor or two, namely my father and brother, the payments would be manageable even while living in Calgary. And at the end of a rather short time the property could be paid off, and used to by another, without the weight of trying to do such a thing in a market like Alberta. But I will keep you posted on that over the coming months

And that is about everything from me, as I am not allowed to write about any participation in certain peoples lives anymore, because it causes them to "feel bad" or something. But I hope you are all having fun in your lives nonetheless.
