Ice Skating and Beavertails

My marimo finally came!! Ah I'm so excited, I forget if I posted about this, but I ordered one online a while ago and it finally came today. I put it in a bowl with some plastic jewel rock things for the bottom, but looking at it now it seems empty so I'll have to look around for some kind of decorations or figurines to put in there. When I do I'll post some pictures of it.

Oh and oh man the weather has been pretty freezing here all week. It's been like -30 degrees or colder every day. But that's good in a way because the canal was finally opened. So even though it's been so cold I've already been skating twice. My sister works part time at the Beavertail shack on the canal so she gets me free or discounted Beavertails whenever I go there, which is totally epic. She even let me have one that had pizza sauce, garlic seasoning, and cheese (which is not on the menu, only the employees get to have it) and wow that was probably the best Beavertail I've ever had.

I also started this thing called a memory jar. I meant to do it right at the beginning of the new year, but it got delayed by a bit obviously. Basically it's just this container I cut a hole in the top. Whenever something good happens I write it down on a piece of paper and throw it in the container. Then at the end of the year (if I've stuck with it that long) I can open it up and read about all the good things that happened in my life over the past year. I thought it was a neat idea.

Katie, I hope you're all better now since you sounded like you were on the mend in your last post. And no I haven't watched Carnegie Hall.

Adam, yeah here in Canada HST is added to the advertised price when you go to the till. It's like 13% so it does bump the price up by an awkward amount, usually I just make sure I have a couple bucks more than the price tag says before buying anything rather than trying to calculate things in my head. And my sister went all over on a bus tour. Some of her stops include: London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Pisa, Amsterdam, Prague, Venice, um maybe Munich, and then somewhere in Belgium and somewhere in Switzerland. She got some really nice pictures. Stopped by Platform 9 and 3/4. Went up some mountains in Switzerland. I think she said her favourite place was Berlin. She brought me back a crystal starfish necklace, a wooden clog piggy bank and literally over half a meter of chocolate.

Kate, I'm glad you're enjoying reading and practicing your music. 

Kira, I'm glad you're not dead. Also get a robot to throw a frisbee? Really? I can barely do that and I'm a person.... but then again I am challenged at certain things lol. Hope you're feeling better too.

Deidra, wow why is this the first I'm hearing about this car accident. I'm glad that everyone is ok. The fish look cute, I hope these ones do better now that they have the new tank. And have fun with your movie marathon. 

Campion, I know what you mean about the Azog storyline in the movie. I think they're focusing on it to make Thorin's story more dramatic or something, I dunno. I can't really remember all the details from the book (I should reread that sometime). I am interested in what they're going to do with the necromancer though. And I can't wait to see Mirkwood. And oh man if you do not go to Hobbiton when you live that close that's just insane. It would cost me like an arm and a leg to get there so you should go and if you do you should take some pictures to share with us. :)

DFTBA
