Weekend in Winnipeg

I know, I know, I have been horrible at keeping this thing up to date, but here's a post. So last weekend I went to the lovely city of Winnipeg. It's still in the west of this wonderful country, but east of home. I was there to visit with my Grandparents, who I haven't seen since I left. It was a ton of fun. (I do have a pic of Teddy, but my camera is currently unavailable for me, you'll see why in my next post). Anyway, we got a chance to catch up on all of the family news, and also my travels in Austria, and I finally beat my grandfather at Crib!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It's a card game that uses a pegging board to count points, trust me, it is awesome to play!)
We also got some shopping done, and went to this really amazing Italian restaurant in "little Italy", it's kind of sad when you've been to the real place, but still, it was fairly authentic food.

I also had a chance to go out with some of my friends while I was in Calgary, and got some work done. So all in all it has been pretty awesome since the Stampede ended. I am feeling a little bit of culture shock, in the form of not always being my normal chipper self. But it's easy to deal with, I just listen to "Afro-Sibirischer Lovesong" and that helps.

This is a special note to P (since I am on the thought line of songs that annoy me :P) I was trying to find some music to listen to on the plane home, and I got onto the 'kids' channel on the airplane and the most wonderful song came on. I nearly screamed and ran to the back of the plane to jump out. It was a little number called .... "Scnappi". If you haven't listened to it, save your ears. If you have, or have seen me listen to it, you can understand just my feelings about it. :) Needless to say, I meant to post that on my first one back home, but forgot about it.

Wow, that was longer then I expected it to be. I promise I am not done yet, now that I am working more regular hours I'll be more consistent with the posts!
Talk soon (and this time I mean it),

PS, a HUGE thanks to M and A, their cards made me smile, and I look at them when I really want to get out of a culture shock rut!
