Calgary at night

This evening was good. Unusual, but good. We had french toast and some fabulous bacon for dinner. I loved it. Cade seemed really tired, so I tried to put him to bed. An hour later he was still having none of it, so I lay down with him in my bed. We both fell asleep until 1am.

I'd meant to get groceries this evening, because we're pretty much out of everything Cade will eat for breakfast - bread, milk, yogurt, oranges. So I figured, why let 1am stop me?

When I went out to my car, the moon was amazing. It was hidden by a cloud, and had this rainbowey light around it. The whole area of sky around the moon was an incredibly bright, deep blue, and covered by scattered clouds. The rabbit that lives in our backyard went bounding through the snow. Mystical and lovely.

It felt like sneaking out of the house to go shopping in the middle of the night. I got to our local 24-hour grocery store to find I pretty much had the place to myself: there were only two other shoppers. I cranked the Kooks' "Inside In/Inside Out" and rocked out while I shopped. Fabulous night.

The recentness

I haven't posted since the new year. Oops!

First of all, we had a great time over the new year. We headed down to my parent's place for 4 days, and spent most of the time visiting, catching up on sleep, and eating. Oh, and we opened presents and did the whole Christmas-ey thing too. We took Cade to a pool I'd gone to as a kid, and was it ever a blast from the past. I had so many vague memories of the place that it was pretty cool to go there again. I ran into a few people I knew in highschool, and it was good to catch up. Cade had a really good time at Grandma and Grandpa's place, and really liked having extra people to play with. He got a Cade-sized chair for Christmas, and spent the first ten minutes after he opened it going in and out and climbing around it. It was pretty fun to watch.

Since then I've had a week of work, and now a Saturday off. Work is still going really well. It's nice to have a job I enjoy, and people I like to work with Two thumbs up for that. I also finally got a haircut, since I'd been wanting one for a good month or so. It's much tidier. I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of it or not, but it looks pretty good.

And now I'm off to add a few things to my website, as long as Cade stays happy with watching Yo Gabba Gabba while I do so. We're currently watching one of his favorite episodes - Super Mr Superhero. Go Starsky!
