Holiday Recap

Still on holidays. Well, technically my holidays are over, but they ended the day before the long weekend. Soooo I'm still on holidays. lol

Now that my company has left, and my weekend guest had to cancel, I'm sitting still.
All fidgety and stuff. Everyone is out of town for the weekend. Even the roommate is away visiting his g/f and family for the long weekend. I'm bored.

Can only clean the apartment so many times. lol

My house guest CM came into town a day late, but we made up for it quickly. Long long hours shopping on Robson St. CM made Robson her bitch. It was crazy how much money she spent in two days on the strip.

We spent our down time at the Vancouver Art Gallery, where I was assigned my own personal security detail after taking a picture of a display. I didn't know it was a display, honest. I thought it was funny, I got busted using my little cell phone camera but those walking around using their iPads to take pictures every 5th or 6th person weren't even acknowledged. What did security think they were doing, comparing notes?

I almost bought a bed frame at Ikea. The one I'd been eyeing for a year now went on sale. Or so I thought. The difference in price was returned to you in gift cards that had to be spent IN Ikea. So in retrospect, it's not a sale at all. I passed. I don't shop at that store often enough to buy the bed frame on sale and spend the savings on stuff I do not need or want.

I think I'm going to hit up an antique alley in New Westminster and try my luck there. I have something specific in mind, and while I don't mind spending good money on an item, I want it to last for awhile. However this item isn't a huge priority on my list. The trip back east next year and a newer car are first. Unless of course the price is very right.

It's only been a week, however I have a roommate update for ya.
He's ghostly quiet. It's crazy. He picks up after himself, he doesn't leave a lake of water on the floor in the bathroom after shaving or brushing his teeth.  He doesn't intrude my space, and stands outside my open bedroom door and asks if he can come in before walking in even though the door is open. Respect!

We're splitting the cost of making some soups and casseroles next week. (his suggestion) I'm going to learn to use a slow cooker and make soups for the first time ever....don't judge me.

So far so good. I think he might survive the next 3 months. :-)
