Where to Begin?

I wrote an entry just over a month ago, while I was in DC. It described my day out visiting the US capital, which is fast becoming a faint memory. As I went to post the blog, the time on the hotel computer ran out. So do I cram in two vacations, and six weeks worth of blogging into one post? I don't know. I'll see how it goes...

It's funny, since my return to Vancouver, it seems like everyone has disappeared. I'm assuming everyone is out of town, as is common at this time of year. It makes socializing hard, even though I really should take it easy this weekend, as I have not had a lazy weekend since, I don't know? Spring Break probably (and I'm not exaggerating)!

I had a couple of days after returning from our trip up North, to clean the apartment and do four, yes four loads of laundry. I didn't have a chance to vacuum upon returning from DC, so that was a must. Quite frankly, I was surprised the cats weren't hairless, since our bed spread had grown a thick layer of fur on it while we were away.

I've been spring cleaning the apartment, since Spring. I was hoping to really tackle the mess last weekend, but the social gods had other plans. Friday after work I raced home, caught some of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, and then it was off to what I swear was the longest game in CFL history, maybe football history! At least the Lions won.

Saturday I spent the whole day with my new nephew, Tobin, who is now 5 weeks old. We left our place at 11:30 am and didn't get home till 6:30 pm, at which point we turned around and headed out to Lisa and Andrew's for a evening of Olympics, games, and always good conversation.

Sunday I spent most of the day finishing my book for book club. I thought it was this coming weekend, not last weekend. I really enjoyed Guards! Guards! and hope to read more from the Terry Prachett's Discworld Series. I also spent Sunday running errands.

I finally started tackling the apartment this week. It is already looking a lot better. There are still a lot of items to sort through, but it's coming together now. Then I will be able to concentrate on my dancing and sorority volunteer work...

No rest for the wicked...
