I have not done a great job of trying to write more in this blog. I had every intention of writing a full account of my day trip to the Titanic Artifacts exhibit in Victoria...we picked one of the sunniest and warmest day ever for that trip on Oct 13.
I have no idea why time is just whipping by so fast like this...hardly have time to breathe with all the things that are happening around me.
Since my last post...well, Thanksgiving came and went. Chrissy has had some ups and downs. A visit from the local police just checking on her and cautioning her that her great desire to save the world may have detrimental effects on her own well-being. She did go to a party last night but she left her car at home and had Darcy pick her up at 11:30 p.m. so that was good. She has been making it to school as consistently as she can...still working so we cannot complain. She needs to just get on with things.
Caiti is doing well, studying but also finding some time to relax and have some fun as you do need to have some distractions while at university to get the full experience.
Work...still in limbo but hoping that will all be resolved soon enough. I has planned to get my resume updated but I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I procrastinated and found other things to do.
The big HD TV has been bad for getting things accomplished...and the ability to tape everything on the PVR. I am hooked on way too many shows now! However, when life is not that exciting you have to live vicariously through the idiot box I guess.
Darcy is still doing his own thing with work and with BCSSA so its been two weekends I have been just bumming around and yet getting nothing that I want done - house is a disaster - no show home here!
So...Halloween is coming and I have enough candy for hundreds of kids...literally hundred. Darcy went a little overboard!
Rain..well we have had a lot of rain but I actually don't mind; however, I have not been out walking and that has been terrible for me!!! Anyway...its Pizza for dinner tonight...oh well...bad choice I know.

Thanksgiving Weekend
Thanksgiving weekend...last day of the long weekend. Small turkey with stuffing in the oven and living-room in chaos as Darcy attempts to mount his 50" HD Panasonic Viera TV on the wall. Cleaning up and trying to get rid of the clutter.
Chrissy has worked all this weekend and Caiti stayed in Kelowna as James' dad came into town. They cooked a turkey on Friday night and didn't eat until 11pm.
Darcy went to brunch with his parents on Saturday morning...I didn't feel up to going and facing them. In the afternoon we went to Giuseppe's for a pasta lunch, took Sheba and Speedo for a walk at Trout lake and got totally soaked... and then came home to just lie around. Made a small ham for dinner with Caesar salad.
It was pouring rain on Sunday in the morning. Dropped off the huge package of ribs for Tino to marinade. Cooked a large pot of lamb curry. Sharon and I decided we needed to have a non-traditional Thanksgiving so we had curry, BBQ ribs, rice, salad. It was nice as we just had ourselves and the kids. We were home early but it was a nice invitation. Today Sharon has 18+ for a huge family feast so probably as busy as can be. Darcy still has the living-room in a mess but hopefully he will made some headway before the end of this evening.
It was sunny today but we just hung around the house when we should have taken advantage of the nice weather.
Another Thanksgiving...we are doing better than last year so thats something to be grateful about.
Trying to decide if we are going to decorate for Halloween or not this year or is it time to turn off the lights. We do spend over $100 on candies and its nice to see all the little kids coming by...so we shall think about it.
