Easter!
It's chocolate time again! Mike and I already have waaaay too much chocolate in the house thanks to the Easter bunny (well, really, thanks to Mike's mom, but you know, it's kind of the same thing). I like chocolate, but I think this is a bit much unfortunately. We'll just have to freeze a bunch so it'll last for months and months.
So, life in the last few weeks. We haven't been up to too much. Got out to play the first pick up ultimate game of the year a while back. I was hurting for a couple days after that, but it was lots of fun to get out and run around on a beautiful day. Unfortunately, soon after that Calgary decided to be Calgary, and it started snowing and being cold again. I've been trying to ride the bike to and from work in the last few weeks, and the snow and ice on the ground has really been hurting my efforts. An inexplicable fear of cars hasn't helped, but add icy roads to that mix, and I go back to walking to work again. Boo... Other things... well we've been out geocaching a couple times. Discovered a really nice park just east of town, out by my dad's place. We found all the caches there though, so it'll be a while before we go back. It was down in the river valley, so we were sheltered from the wind.
Mike's mom came to visit last week. It was nice to have company in town, and to get to go do a few touristy things. The weather did not cooperate at all, getting cold the day she arrived, and warming up promptly the day she went home. Silly city... We went out to the mountains one day, then I remembered why I hate highways in the winter (stupid gravel, grrr). Went down to Inglewood to wander one day, went caching, I think Mike took her to the Callebaut factory one day, I was sad to have missed that.
Next week it's back to normal for me. 5 full days of work, it's going to be tough... Work has been busy these last few weeks, but it doesn't really feel like we've gotten anywhere some days. I'm hoping that'll change soon and I'll start getting all the pieces together soon. That's all for now. I'm looking forward to spring finally arriving. Ultimate starts in a month and a bit, and we've got both teams registered now. Summer plans are starting to be made. Now we just wait for the summer to get here!
