My Weekend




This weekend I spent with two canines and a feline, respectively named Chimo, Bailey and Oliver! It's been a while since I have received so much attention and affection. Bailey would have been happy to spend the entire weekend nose to nose with me, had I allowed her! She is most affectionate. Chimo seems a little more independent with age, but is happy to have any attention sent his way! Now Oliver, the kitty, is at your heels the second the dogs are let outside! She would place her front paws up on my shoulder so that she could rub her head against mine! So very cute!


In between the time spent cuddling and walking with animals, I did do some walking around in that area. I didn't get to do as much as I would have liked as it was quite cold and snowy most of the weekend. I had coffee with Canagal and hubby at the Purple Perk which was yummy and as always S & N are excellent company.


One evening I met up with a fella from work and his girlfriend for drinks. We went to Ming on 17th ave. I love the dark and cozy atmosphere of that place. It also brings back fond memories for me as the only other time I had been there was with my galpal Sue several years ago when she still lived here in Calgary. I remember that time because I was having a crappy day and she and her boyfriend took me out for drinks and snacks to cheer me up! Which they did!


Sunday I went snowboarding for my second time and it was as fun as the first! Actually, it was more fun because after a couple of refresher runs down the hill I was feeling better at it! It was basically a whiteout on the top of the hill for the better part of the afternoon and a little cold on the face, but otherwise it was awesome! It is my new favorite thing.


Well, in a nutshell that was my weekend. Now it is back to work!

Boredom

Have you ever felt so bored that your brain feels empty. I'm on call tonight (was on Friday and Saturday night also) and again tomorrow night. So I am sitting at home with my phone attached to my hip in case we get a call. Sometimes having nothing to do is okay, but tonight I am just bored. That is all!!
