Lloyd
aiy, busy busy busy...
spent friday night shopping for pots and pans (and linens and toaster ovens), then spent an hour before closing time at ikea looking for a desk and bed frame. advice: don't ever by any furniture you've never actually seen before. i was looking at this bed frame online that i really liked (malm) but when i finally got to it, the top of the mattress was below my knees!!! (yes, i know, i have relatively higher knees than most), but honestly, which swedish genius designed this thing!?! so anyways, i'm still looking for a frame... =(
today, i spent $500 on work boots, pots, a toaster oven and linens (and a pizza tray, veggie peeler, socks, undies and some velcro), all of which you were all dying to know about...
man... 1 week.....
anyways, thanks for lunch today guys. it was good to see all of you before i left in one place!
hm, so.... when i move to lloyd... is my nickname still 'calgary?'
i can't believe it's been so long since i've posted. i guess things have been pretty busy and i haven't really taken the time to sit down and digest what's happened to me, but first HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! hope you guys had a good one and are optimistic about the year to come. i wish you guys all the best!
considering i haven't blogged in 1.5 months, here's some of the major recent happenings:
- went to st. george, utah (really close to las vegas) with some of my brother's friends in early december. had a GREAT time playing pickle ball (cross between ping pong and tennis), seeing the blue man group for the 2nd time (still very entertaining), playing a few horrible rounds of golf and eating lots of buffets. good times tho. just email me if you're ever interested in going =) some pictures:
getting posterized by shaq and mme tussaud's wax museum (complimentary tickets with the blue man group tickets)
the 6 of us in our pickle ball uniforms. my brother's on far right
romantic evening watching the fountains at the bellagio
nite with the men in blue
- i made my final decision to move up to lloyd and actually found a place. it's a new condo that won't be done for a few months so i'll have to find a place to rent until then. real nice tho. literally like a 5 min walk from the sportsplex. thanks for all the encouragement by the way guys. optimism can be really contagious... =)
- had a sweet new year's in canmore, alberta (about 45 minutes outside of calgary). good times with about a dozen good friends and played some sweet outdoor ice hockey. fun times. definitely won't forget this weekend
i leave for lloyd in 2 weeks. lots of stuff to get done, things to organize... it's gonna be a busy week. i'll try to post before i leave. take care guys!
