Absent

Back at work today.
Back to regular class on Monday.
Happy Birthday Megan Hill.

Yesterday I went to the Casino in Calgary for the first time in my life. It was so strange to me, the parking lot looked like it could hold capacity for West Edmonton Mall and it was completely packed. On the outside it looks like a movie theatre - where there's different levels and weird protruding corners, all decorated with some random asymmetrical grid pattern - and the inside is like a tiny piece of Vegas.

I looked like a deer in headlights I'm sure.

So Beth and I played Bingo - well, SHE played Bingo (I can't handle the number/letter mix - thanks dyslexia?) And she actually won. TOO BAD she didn't realize until someone else called it.

Memorable moments consist of:

• One of the workers being Kate Hudson's twin. +10 years maybe, but seriously it was insane.
• The lady sitting adjacent to us repeating how "bizarre" her daughter winning a large pot was, and crying for about 15 minutes after said win.
• How twitchy well oxygenated areas make a person

Moving on.

I'm in the process of selling my Alero (shed a tear, I know) and can't wait to drive through the mountains in this beautiful thing:

How wonderful it is to work at a car dealership. We'll see you so soon.

I've been Skyping with Jodie & Megan a lot, this makes me so happy. It feels less like missing someone when you can actually see their face. You both make life amazing - muchos thanks.
