I went to work on my day off this week and got cake again! Yay!
LOW
I did not get paid for this time I spent at work. But it was only an hour and I still got cake, so it balances.

I had some very definitive plans this weekend that involved going to Halifax for two days of fun with Kevin Smith.
I am not a huge fan of Kevin Smith - by no means am I foaming at the mouth for every movie that he has ever brought out, nor do I believe that everything that he touches turns to gold. But I do find him funny, and I respect what he's done, and I think he's a great story teller. He's also done a great job of surrounding himself with interesting and funny people.
I was super excited with the news that he was going to bring many of his podcast shows (and there are many) to Halifax for the sixth anniversary of his podcast network. Sure it was a little pricey at a hundred bucks a day, but the chance to see all of this crazy cast at work was too much to pass up. Note that at least half of his crazy cast is in the form of Ralph Garmain (cause he does impressions you see).
LOW
The shows have been cancelled.
Weekend plans are in near ruin, but stuff happens and I will ease my disappointment somehow. Probably by spending the refunded ticket money on something else super fun. Like candy.

Bed, Bath & Beyond opened in Moncton.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the store, the "Bed" and "Bath" portions of the store are things that you would find in those rooms in your home. Towels, sheets, things that do things that I didn't realize needed doing but could be done at least once for $39.99 until you put it away in the basement until the yard sale you're going to be forced to have five years hence.
The "Beyond" of the store are the rest of your rooms, though mostly just the kitchen. I think a better name for the store would be "More Stuff For Your Rooms", but it doesn't flow off the tongue as nicely and also might cause shoppers to think a little bit about whether they really need another garlic press (nobody uses these - they only exist to make you feel bad about using garlic powder or pre-minced garlic from a jar).
I had to go.

Five minutes into our walkabout, My Lovely Wife asked me if I saw anything I liked. I know that she does this out of a sense of politeness and in an effort to make a shopping trip with me a little more enjoyable (Hint: I am not a browser, and this store is built for people who like to create a little story about what it would be like to own everything in that store). Since we were standing in one of the aisles with kitchen gadgets I said "no, but if we find that thing that lets you make your own pop I'm buying it."
Moments later, we turned the corner and there it was. I want that thing so bad.
LOW
I did not buy it.
HIGH
My Lovely Wife said "Well, you could buy it now, but it will ruin your birthday present."
So cheers to me! I may know what I'm going to be getting for my birthday, but it turns out it's something I really really want - more than I expected.
SodaStream, you will be mine. Oh yes, you will be mine.
LOW
It is darn cold out there. Today is going to be -38 with the wind chill. That is too cold. I know living where I do and complaining about the cold is a little like living in a place that's really cold and complaining about it (yes, I realize how lazy that was, but I'm getting hungry and I want to finish this before I have lunch).
HIGH
We're going on a trip! In a random, spur of the moment kind of thing, we're going to be taking a trip this year. Tickets have been purchased, vacation days are scheduled, it's all falling into place. More details on that to come, but it should be a good time.
And that's all I got for now. Time for leftover lasagne!
