Last night Kelly and I had a night in. She made turkey lasagna and garlic bread, and we watched Sunshine, which I liked quite a bit.
Kelly had class today, so I slept in a bit, waking up at around 8:30am (yup, that’s sleeping in for me now, urgh). After spending a little bit of time on the computer nerding out, and discovering the band Born Ruffians (kind of an indie / folk / rock sound) and noticing how perfect their sound was for the weather outside (50 degrees and sunny) I decided to get out of the house. We had to take our car into the dealership for some under-warranty maintenance, so I scheduled a 2pm appointment, and then went down to the Bishops on Alberta for a haircut. I had an hour wait, so I walked around the neighborhood a bit. Loads of people out, which happens every day like this in the winter, people crawl out of their forced hibernation and squint their eyes at that bright orb in the sky, then wander around smiling and happy. I admit I was in good spirits too just to be out it the not freezing, not raining, not dark and cloudy weather with nothing to do for an hour.
After my haircut, I went across the street to Mash Tun for a glass of beer and some soup (the beer was their new Concordia Cream Ale which was really really good) before going out to the dealership. What was supposed to be an hour thing only took about 25 minutes and I was back on the road.
Now I’m sitting on my porch enjoying the not-freezing weather and sipping on a beer. Tonight Kelly and I meet Mr & Mrs Ghost Dog at Concordia Ale House for some food and more beer. Hooray!

It was a rare occasion because usually on class weekends we start at 5pm on Friday and run until 9pm and then wake up to Sat. class which from 8am to 5pm. Luckily this class canceled Friday and opted for a sole Monday class.
It was Brilliant! 🙂 Okay so two weekends of classes countdown! Phew. 😉
I’ll have to work on the next lasagne recipe, this one didn’t turn out all that great, if you ask me and really its because I followed the recipe on the box. Never again, will I follow a recipe on the box, I need to add some spices, herbs and salt. That’s what it needed.
Well, we all learn from our first try, right? 🙂
Oh, it was still good, just didn’t have a lot of flavor, nothing a little garlic salt (and hot sauce) didn’t quickly cure.
🙂 I wish I could edit my comment, I put in Monday (god knows why) and meant Saturday. It was a full Saturday class. 🙂 Silly me.
