Vacation part 2

Yesterday I was very stupid. I was going to see some friends whose place I had visited last time, but did not realize, even after writing down the address, that they had moved. Only once I had walked an hour to their old place (in rain boots! not comfortable) did I think to double check their address. Once I finally got there I found out that everyone but Brent is sick like a dog (I saw Dave briefly as he stumbled into the kitchen for apple juice before going back to sleep).
So I hung out in the plague house with Brent for a few hours being fed chicken and rice soup and tea and flipping between classic Star Trek and Next Generation. Talk about rediscovering my roots :) Hopefully everyone will get better soon and we can try to get together again. P.S. Happy belated birthday, Brent!

I've also become that girl who buys the same pair of shoes in three colours. After a delicious Greek dinner with Susan of the hot sauces (if you want me to bring you back fabulous homemade hot sauce, let me know before Saturday) and the lovely and talented Jillian, Jill and I went to Mark's Work Wearhouse (not just steel toed boots anymore) to use a $10 off card I got. They had really cute flip-flop sandals that are the closest things to thongs without that annoying between the toe thing. They were on sale for $3 each, so of course I had to get them. Trouble was, I could not decide what colour to get. I'm now the proud owner of pairs in lavendar, orange, and black.

Today I'm taking a holiday from my vacation. All I'm doing until 2 is lounging and reading. It's wonderful, and I have some great prepubs from the ALA conference. This afternoon is coffee with dad and his friend and then dinner at the pub with other friends, then we might all come back to my sister's place for roasting marshmallows in her fireplace. We even have all the fixing's for s'mores!
