Month: April 2012

In my last post, I said I had to stay put for a while to pay down my travelling debt.  That may be true but it doesn’t mean that I’m sitting at home doing nothing.  Quite the opposite.  I’ve been out there trying a bunch of new things – things I’ve been wanting to do for a long time but always had excuses for.  I got myself a harness, climbing shoes and a little chalk bag.  I’m climbing in a gym so that I can be good enough to climb the easy stuff in the out-of-doors this summer.  There are a couple of decent climbing spots within a few hours’ drive from home.

A few weeks ago, I registered for a gun course.  Not really sure why, but I’ve been wanting to learn to use a gun for a while.  Sounds odd right?  Whatever.  So it’s odd.  I’m ok with that.

Two weeks ago, I got my M1 – that’s the learners permit for a motorcycle.  Yesterday, I registered for the course because I have no idea how to drive a motorcycle.  So, you ask “Why would you get your licence?”.  Because I can.  Hahaha.

I’m still knitting a lot and spinning a bit.  I’ve made what feels like a hundred baby things for that photographer.  I was so glad to make my friend Steve a tuque – something for a grown up!  Yay.  And I finally finished the socks I started in Banff.  Took forever.

And a few grown-up things!  Yay.

Be back soon… hopefully.

January 20th.  As if!  That’s the last time I posted.  Can someone tell me where the time goes cause I can’t seem to figure it out!

I’m not sure why I didn’t post any pictures of Chicago… oh yah, must be cause I posted pictures of too many other things. I’ll post a few today… just because.  Brian and I had a great time.  Travelling with friends who are in to the same kind of things as you is really AWESOME!!!

We ate, visited museums, ate, went to the yarn shop, walked the waterfront, visited an old-school camera shop, ate…  It was seriously wonderful.  I can’t wait for my next jaunt with Brian.

A few days after that last post, I left for Dominican.  Went to a friend’s wedding down there and had a blast.

Then I came home for just over a week and left to meet up with my friend Denis in Calgary.  We went to Banff, Canmore and Calgary.  It was a really awesome trip.

Total BLISS.  I’m madly in love with the Rockies!!!

Now I’ve been home for about a month and a half and must stay here for a while.  I’m really broke.  Haha.  I’m really not happy about having to sit still for a while.  But, it is what it is.

However, I have made some new friends and become closer to old friends and it’s been great.  I’m doing things I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.  I’ll post about those later.

No new tattoos… the itch is there though.  😉

And, that’s what I’ve been up to so far this year.
