I'm amazed how a couple of days and a few snow flakes can make a difference. On Sunday, it was fall. You could go outside without a coat (not necessarily recommended but possible). There was still the lingering memory of summer. Now it's winter. You can't go out with out a toque, scarf and mittens for fear of frost bite. But at the same time I love it.

It's funny how some weekends don't turn out at all like you planned. On Saturday, I went over to Star's to make Aria a dragon costume for Halloween. Of course, before we could get started, we had to go to Fabricland to get supplies (it didn't hurt that there was a big sale this weekend). We had every intention of going back to the house and getting started but it didn't happen. We looked at fabric, had lunch, looked a jewelry and bought Eric flowers. It was nice just to hang out with a girlfriend. I haven't got to do that for a while.

When we did finally get back to the house. It was just about time for Star to get ready for Angel's game. I helped her make the most beautiful fairy wings (I find fairies incredibly creepy but Star makes a particularity YUMMY fae).

Sunday, I had planned to clean house (we're still playing catch up from the Quest). At about 12:00 James called and asked if Davyd and I needed a Turkey dinner. Being one to not turn down free food, good company, or an excuse to put off housework, I accepted and we were off. (Dinner was fabulous. Thanks again, Lara, James, and La's mom!)

Afterwards, we went to Gorra and Stephanie's to watch movies. I love Jeeves and Wooster!

Now, I have to go home to the disaster that is my apartment and clean something. sigh.

You ever have one of those weeks? It's been one.

On Tuesday morning I got in my car, drove a block and realized that my tire was flat (By the b'y, it not a good idea to drive into and over curbs). So I had to limp my car home, call Grant Mac and tell them I would be late. I changed the tire (now I'm thankful Mom insisted, "If you don;t know how change a tire, you don't know how to drive"). I figure I must look competent because there were 3 of my neighbour's (all men) who just walked on by while I was sitting there cranking on the tire iron. I'm not sure I would have accepted the help if they had offered it (it's not worked well for me in the past. The last time I played the damsel in distress when I had a flat, the guy turned the lug nuts the wrong way and broke one of them off). It would have been nice to be offered help though because I might not feel like I live in such a big, mean city.

On Wednesday, I went to Canadian Tire to get my tire fixed. That went okay but it longer than I expected and I missed my belly dancing class. Sigh.

This morning, at eight (I was still in my nightgown) I looked at my calendar and realized that I had to be at work at 9:00. I had been expecting to be at work for 10:00 and I have commute that takes about half an hour. I decided that lunch was more important than a shower (what can I say? I hate to go hungry) so I've felt icky all day. When I went out to my car there were guys unloading roofing supplies from a big truck (not a cubevan, a BIG truck). The semi was parked right behind my car and I had to wait for them to move it before I could go anywhere. I wasn't late for work but not for lack of trying.

Well, I've been reading blogs for several months now and have been inspired to start my own. I guess it will include my thoughts, quotes, poems, lyrics, stories from my life, whatever.

I wanted to share a quote with you all

Some people say, "You shouldn't tempt Fate."
And for them I can not disagree.
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe.
I say, "Fate should not tempt me!"
- Mary Chapin Carpenter
