How was Thanksgiving for everyone?
I spent it on Thetis Island. It's a tiny little island off of Vancouver Island. My friend's father has a cottage there. Actually, maybe cottage isn't the right word. It did after all, have an 8 person hot tub.
We actually went around the dinner table and talked about what we were thankful for. Apparently, some people do this every Thanksgiving. Anyways, to summarize: "Hooray for family and friends!!!"
The other notable thing about Thanksgiving dinner? Our host had prepared TWO turkeys! So great! On an unrelated note, I've decided that I'd like to change my reputation of being some sort of human garburator. (side note: Apparently, one of my friends was talking to someone at our place of work. When my name came up, the other person said, "Oh yeah, isn't he the guy who eats everything?" This is not cool.) Anyways, step one would be for me to stop going to buffets with people. I was told that my appetite would decrease once I left adolesence. This has proved to be untrue. My ability to destroy a buffet remains very much intact, a fact which astounded my fellow diners at the buffet on the ferry to Vancouver Island.
To summarize.
1. I need to eat more discreetly.
2. I need to go to buffets by myself.
Other highlights from the cottage included ocean kayaking, hot tubbing, hiking and croquet. I'm surprised I haven't discovered croquet before this. It's grrrrrreat!
I hope everyone voted. I lived in one of those highly contested ridings. The most recent election separated winner and loser by 150 votes! It was quite exciting to vote and realize that it actually could make a difference.
In other news, I've finally bought some snowpants! I've been on a hunt for.. well for a long time. They are super. I'm so pleased. Three cheers for craigslist!
