Productive saturday

Hey everybody. I had a pretty productive day off. Diana and i went for a walk to her school and then to the new flea market. The flea market is coming along nicely. Not all the stalls have been filled yet--still hoping for some toy and comic book vendors. At least its in walking distance. I do miss the macdonalds toy selling lady from the original flea market though.


Did some cleaning to. W e have clean up at our complex next weekend so thought i would get a head start. I started with the hall closet and i don't think I've cleaned it since I moved in here. Found some interesting items in there. Some old entertainment weekly magazines from 2007 and even a mixed cd of unreleased Bruce Springsteen material i had downloaded. Its still only about halfway done cleaning the closet. Then its on to Diana's room.

Watched some shows with Kath after she got home and now sitting here blogging and working on tomorrow nights get your geek on. My day was ok. I can't complain.

the ufo whisperer

Yay! my neighbour has already put up his christmas lights that are brighter than the sun. The good news is that they stay on all night. I swear if you look outside at 1 in the morning it looks like 1 in the afternoon. I love it. It looks like he's trying to signal a ufo to land on his property. We call his lights the landing strip. So hooray for us!

Movember

Hey i forgot to mention that I'm taking part in Movember. Yup that's November with an m. Movemeber is where you try and raise money for cancer by growing a mustache. So on Novemeber first you make sure you are clean shaven and then the fun begins. I hadn't been clean shaven in about 10 years. Diana had never seen me without a beard. So i shaved and slowly I've been growing a mustache. I haven't been doing to well with the donations though. I've asked a bunch of people and haven't gotten a response yet. Hopefully I'll get some donations by the end of the month. I sure can't wait to grow the beard back.

The great pop experiment

Wow its really taking me a long time to blog this month. So on Sunday i decided to do an experiment for a week. I've gained some weight lately. Part of the reason for this is that i have stopped drinking water which isn't good. So for a week i'm going to try and go with no pop. So far i'm on day 3 and not sure if i like it or not. I've had a headache for 2 days and i have felt pretty tired. I almost fell asleep at my desk yesterday. On the plus side i'm getting about 6 waters in a day. So there's that. Anyhow We'll see how i do next Sunday. Maybe i will drop a few pounds. That would be swell

First blog of November. Only took 8 days. Had a great weekend. Its been a long time since Kath and i got to spend a whole weekend together. This new schedule might be ok after all. Its still taking some time to get used to it. Last week wasn't to bad, It was slower than i expected. It was nice getting home at a descent hour. I got to tuck Diana in and read her bedtime stories. The only drawbacks so far were--there's a lot more calls from dealers and as you may have guessed-I am not a fan of dealers. Its also hard to find a seat because when i start during the day everyone is there. Other than that its been ok.
Saturday we went to a craft show in Oakville. We got a few early Christmas presents. We also did a little grocery shopping and went for comics. Sunday we checked out the new flea market and finally got Kath's passport information mailed out. Soon we can go back to the states together again. We're hoping her passport will be in before Christmas so we can go see family and friends.

Well I'm rambling now so you know what that means? Yup its time for a nap. I'll write later. Take care.

Trick Or Treat

Today during the afternoon ,Kath and i went to Diana's school for their halloween parade. All the kids and teachers get dressed up in their costumes and walk around the neighborhood. This year we were told it would be ok if parents came to. Diana was dressed like a little devil. There were lots of ninjas and skeletons and clone troopers. The parade actually went past our neighborhood as well. It was really cool.

Trick or treating turned out pretty cool as well. Nickle came with Diana and I while Kath handed out candy. We actually ventured out of the complex this year and did a couple of extra streets. I threw on a green lantern t shirt and ring and Nickle painted a mask on me. The mask looked cool. We came home after an hour. Diana got so much candy and 12 bags of chips.

Not looking forward to tomorrow. Its the first day of my new shift. Although i will be home at a descent hour and i will be on a great sleep schedule,i'm not looking forward to being busy all the time. That could suck. On the plus side i am looking working with people like Debbie and Kristen and people i didn't get to see working the midnight shift. Here's hoping November doesnt suck.

happy halloween everybody!

I am so looking forward to trick or treating with the kid tonight. Hope she gives me some sour patch kids!
