We're getting ready to head off to Canada for Christmas etc, tomorrow evening. I'm hoping to get a chance to catch up with my sister and her boyfriend in Syracuse, where we'll stay tomorrow night. We do have a hotel reservation in Rochester, but I don't think we'll have the energy or desire to go all the way to there. I'll try not to go stir crazy in the car. We've got CDs, and XM Satellite radio, and we're very good at car games like "I'm going on a picnic". And there's always Mad Libs.

Cayne's wonderful; he brought me new slippers this week. We've got matching black fuzzy slippers. And if you tell me it's sillly, then well, it's silly.

Today was Cayne's company holiday party. He asked if I wanted to go along-they were going bowling, and I said "Yes" though I did ask if I'd be the only wife/girlfriend/significant other there. He said no, and it turned out that I was indeed the only one there. Didn't matter, I had fun nonetheless and it was nice of the bosses to include me. (When Cayne asked if it was okay to bring me along he was told "Sure, of course. We'll get her drunk!") I didn't get drunk, I bowled okay-I do enjoy it. It's kind of fun, even if I'm not a very good bowler at all.

Laundry done, tomorrow includes a chiropractor appointment, dropping off one more holiday gift, packing and waiting. Litter boxes, laundry and the fridge were all taken care of tonight.

I said to Cayne the other day, that while I don't have the kind of margarita drinking, shoe shopping girlfriends I had in Virginia, I do have a very wonderful, but different kind of family.

Happy Winter Celebrations. And happy new year.

You're in Canada over the holidays? Where and for how long, if you don't mind me asking? (I have in mind meeting up for coffee, if geography and scheduling permit.)

We're in Whitby through the second of January. I'm not exactly sure what our family obligations are, or I'd offer up suggestions now.

We do travel north of the border a few times a year. If this time doesn't work out, I know we'll be back in the Toronto area again.

Okay, well, I'm out of Toronto Friday until either Monday or Tuesday (depending on circumstances), but since Whitby is reasonably accessible to Toronto, if you find you have some free time and are interested, feel free to call me at 416-968-6525 to see if we can set up a coffee visit. If it doesn't work out, then yeah, there's always another time.

My apologies. We were supposed to be in Toronto on Wednesday, but I came down with a cold which I still haven't gotten rid of, so we skipped Toronto. Next time, perhaps, depending on our family obligations.

No worries. Christmas is never really the most reliable time to make social plans, I find...
