This is the second time writing this. Curses and hogglesticks upon you, blogger!

I spent the weekend in Camrose with Chris. He picked me up on Friday morning and we got back to the tea shop mid afternoon. I helped out around the shop, organizing stuff and cleaning up crap and listening to Coldplay. We busted out the vodka around six and I made some new friends and talked with them and with old friends and listened to some live Christmas music at the shop and then it started snowing and I felt christmasy for the first time this year. We took a walk outside to watch the people and smoke cigars and look in shop windows. After the shop closed they ordered pizza and we drank more vodka and cleaned up and then we went over the Kurt and Holly's to watch Elf, but we ended up outside smoking more cigars and drinking whiskey. I got to bed a little after three.

I woke up to the phone ringing, but I fell asleep again after no one picked it up. It rang again later and the dogs started barking and Noah babbling in his crib brought Chris and me up around ten. We watched Toy Story 2 with Noah while we ate breakfast and headed out across the snow to the shop around two o'clock. I helped out there and played the guitar in the basement until my fingers got numb, and then I went upstairs and talked to Chris because it was pretty dead in there, and read a whiskey magazine. It closed early, at six, so we went and got some beers and drank them while we cleaned up and listened to Christmas music, and after we rented Kill Bill Vol. 2. We had supper at his house, and Lisa and Terry went to the cinemas, and when Noah went to bed we watched Kill Bill Vol. 2, an awesome movie, really, and drank beer.
