Victoria

My most recent location for randomness!

After arriving home from my last hockey tournament/fun in Vancouver, I spent a few days getting my taxes prepared. I had to gather all the paperwork from the last year, so it took me a while. I'm not impressed with how much I have to pay in taxes, lol. But at least it is done.

Once all that was done, I didn't feel like going out of town as originally planned... then Saturday afternoon, my mom said "I need to know if you are going south or not because your brother needs a ride to the ferry". I rushed home, packed, showered, and was out the door around 3 pm.

After dropping Mike off, I dropped by Starbucks then went to Kims. We threw the dogs in the truck (2 golden retrievers and a small border collie) and took them up to Dumont. It had cleared up and we had a nice walk, its very rural up there. We chatted and put our make up on together once we got back, she made me tea, then I took off for Victoria.

I hadn't made full plans because I hadn't expected to be going... so on my way down I called my cousin Kevin. His really kewl wife Jenn answered, so I told her my random plans and asked if I could crash there. They said yes and gave me directions.. thanks guys! :)

My friend Ron from vic let me know he was at Swans, so I dropped by for a drink. He was with 3 other people. After some colourful conversation (leave it to me...) I find out that John, who was at the table next to Ron, is a CATHOLIC PRIEST! I'm not quite sure how the others found it acceptable to not let me know that information when I sat down with them! Anyways lol, it was interesting. At that bar I also ran into a relative named Brad, so we exchanged numbers and made tentative plans to meet up for a bite to eat while I was in Vic.

The whole night was pretty interesting as it carried on - it was a late one but I got some dancing done and had a blast! I danced with a transvestite who figured, after a while of me dancing with him, that I must not have known he was a tranny... so he started talking to me, that way I could hear his voice.. but I just carried on as usual. lol.

Sunday was fun, met Leah at Thetis lake with Isaac (her son) and his friend Finn. It was such a beautiful day, we hiked around the top trail. After that I went home and had a good nap!

The rest of the time was fun. I got to visit some friends I haven't seen for a while... I hungout a bit with my hosts Kevin and Jenn, that was good. Leah and I walked Dallas road, it took us almost 2 hours. We had good talks and enjoyed the city. JACK SMACK! haha. Tuesday I had a wicked workout at Commonwealth Place. It was cheap, clean, bright, great equipment. I went out with Brad that night for dinner and now its Wednesday and I'm home!

I cannot straighten my arms. I did a lot of pull ups yesterday and I can't believe how sore I am from them. I do like being a "good sore" though so I'll deal with the stiffness :)

Today I watched Slumdog Millionaire on bluray with my mom at my parents house. It really does make a difference, and it was such a good movie. I would suggest watching it if you haven't seen it yet!

Until the next adventures, which will be here soon no doubt... I know someone here is on spring break soon ;) Also, here comes Easter weekend. Next trip to vic will include a hike up Mount Finlayson, can't wait!

Now, I know that my girl is alone
And she's been blowing me up on my phone
But I can shower when I get back home
Cause tonight I'm dancing dirty, yeah!
