Happy Friday The 13th

Hey there! Just wanted to do a quick post letting you know a little bit of how these last four days have been for me. As you're aware, I've been having quite the stressful time, and learning of yet ANOTHER death today, haven't been able to handle it that well. So I took some time, coincidentally right around my birthday/anniversary, to make a trip to Edmonton to see two of my loves: System of a Down and Brittany Lee. I was lucky enough to meet the delightful Kate East (I love her name) and spend some alone time with my wonderful husband. We spent several hours in the mall (duh), wandering aimlessly throughout the city, getting lost in Sherwood Park, getting scared downtown, sciencing in the science centre, eating at Olive Garden and Taco Bell, and generally enjoying myself. I missed the SHIT out of my children, my sister, and my coworkers but still had an incredible time away. It was much needed. I felt calm 95% of the time, which is a HUGE difference for me. I know its Edmonton...a huge and confusing and BUSY as hell city but with Brittany, beer, Landon, Wal-Mart and a jacuzzi tub, I wouldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend the Mindbender the next time you're in town, as well as the 25 cent peep show on Jasper Avenue. Good times.

PS: I am 28 years old today.
