Insanity



The picture is a little washed out, I took it last night and lighting was poor, but I think you get the idea. I am insane, this needs to be a baby blanket by February.

I finished PJ's hat and my sweater still needs to be seamed. I will get there.

We are heading out of town this weekend. Off to Kewlona for Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving is on Monday and in October. This is one thing I can't get used to in Canada, it was to early.

We are going to go visit with Paul's family and I may run a race while we are there. I have not decided yet. I hope to blog from there for you but if I don't get to chance over the next few days then you know where I am. I am eating turkey and playing with the kids, and knitting.

I am going to bring a couple of small projects to work on, the baby blanket is not very travel friendly so I will bring Sebastian's hat and a little something else to keep me busy.

Speaking of traveling, Paul has come up with a way to deal with those pesky tickets, but we are still not sure what to do yet. He has suggested that we change the tickets to Christmas and move the destination to Las Vegas and we go and spend Christmas there. We spent last Christmas in California and I think it would fair to spend one in Vegas too. His sister Jodie might go to Vegas for Christmas and it has been well over a year, closer to two since we have seen Jodie.

I told Paul this would be okay with me under the condition that we plan something cool with my family this summer. What I would like to do is rent a cabin on a lake somewhere on Oregon and everyone can meet us there. I have been doing a little research, check out this web site www.culuslakeresort.com (Mom please note that owners are Harley people). I am thinking that we could pick the dates fairly soon and book the trip. Mom and Darryl could ride the bike up and Shannon, Will and the kids drive. I think it would great fun. Paul is really excited about the idea and so am I. Let me know what you all think, APL you of course will join us if we get this thing together?

I think we should invite the George, Judy and Jodie to Oregon and we should be sure to extend the invite to Diana and Roy, Dad and Corinne and anyone else you think would like to join us. I have been wanting to do something like this for a long time. If we love it we could make it an annual summer trip.

Paul is being quite the planner these days (be forewarned) he is also thinking that we could all vacation together in Disneyland in 2007, we are thinking October when it is a little slower there but still warm. I will start feeding the children growth hormone now, so they will be tall enough for all the rides.

What do you all think?

Yeah...from that picture knitting looks really relaxing! Hope your "Thanksgiving" was fun. Do you Canucks eat turkey for Thanksgiving?

I just got done helping with the Californa HOG Rally and am beat. I'm starting to think about planning for the Mexico cruise with Colleen at the end of the month. Right now I couldn't plan my way out of a paper bag.

And, Paul did spend Christmas with his family last year because they were here too, as was your Dad.

Can't wait to see what the finished baby blanket is going to look like. It looks like it's a bit of a headache to deal with all that yarn.
