nasty! The tv lied they said that the Amazing Race was on at 9:00 oclock it is now 8:00 oclock and the Amazing Race is on. I was planning on working from 8 until 9, can't now, have to watch the Amazing Race, darn. Just another one of those little quirky things that makes us here in Saskatchewan so special, having all of our tv shows come on at the wrong time.

One more Christmas present bought today. Something for Angela. I think I need to make a list for some reason Christmas is coming up very fast for me this year. This is the weekend for the Christmas tree to be put up. For the second year in a row we are having an artificial tree, that still just doesn't seem right. A real tree is so much more Christmassy sort of like chestnuts roasting on an open fire, although who has an open fire these days and where are the chestnuts?

I put off buying a refilled ink cartridge for months, as I believed the price was probably too good to be true. It is. The black ink refilled cartridge I was cajoled into purchasing (after all why pay 49 dollars when you could pay 29) ran out of ink after less than 75 pages of printing. grrrr. and I didnt have a more expensive refill on hand to replace it with. Annoying!! Consequently I will not under any circumstances purchase another refilled ink cartridge, especially from Staples.

The sweet smell, swirl, tingle to the taste buds of a glass of red wine. This particular wine bottled in 2001 in a vineyard in Austria. Yet I think I prefer the wine bottled in the Okanagan Valley. Perhaps a bit of a warning on this particular bottle from Austria as to the 14% alcohol content ..hic.. would have been appropriate.

aah the satisfying feeling of having completed a successful event. Much like the feeling brought on by a great performance by an invidual in the arts. Now onward and forward on to the next adventure.

Well the conference is only a few days away, all the hard work and organizing will be over after Friday. It sort of feels like christmas where there is anticipation and then it is all over. Oh well, at least it has been a good learning experience and one just never knows what could come of it.

Conference committee meeting tommorrow, we shall see how things go. Decisions, decisions decisions, what to eat, where to sit, how to faciliate that, this and the other thing, such a complicated affair. I will enjoy the conference itself though, when it does get here. Hopefully nothing to serious will go wrong.

ok, the shower was fun, the trip to saskatoon was good and as always the food was soooo much better than in Nipawin. The whole working out of an office out of your own home is alright too. I realized that this afternoon when I got to work at my desk without any socks and shoes on, try that in a business suit.
