back to my home i dare not go

okay so I have had my facebook account for a couple months now, and I don't really get it. apparently it's the hottest thing since myspace. I'm not sure how many more internet networking sites I can sign up for before I reach my personal quota of stupidness. anyway if anyone can explain why facebook is the bomb, please, do tell.

as you all know, I went to The Farm this weekend. I feel like I've titled it by starting it with capitals. I think that is nice. anyway, it was...... very boring. Jeff went snowmobiling ALLLLLLLLLL effing day on Saturday and I did absolutely nothing. I watched TV from 9:30 am till 7:30 pm. at one point I managed to get off my spot on the couch and go outside for half an hour to go pet baby cows which was really kind of cute. I would've taken some pictures but I hadn't managed to get off my lazy bum and have a shower so pictures were out of the question. but this one little guy was super feisty and I was a little worried he was going to butt me with his little cow head and chase me around the barn so I kind of kept my distance from him. her I mean. I was dealing with baby cows here people, not baby bulls. I'm not completely nutzo. so these baby calfs, they're really even more gentle than a puppy and yet here I was, nervous around them. they make the loudest moooooos. I jumped a little every time. I was glad nobody was in the barn to watch me. cuz I'm a total loser when I'm all by myself. aren't we all?

there were no new baby kittens this time. I was quite disappointed.

so at 7:30 Jeff's cousin came and picked me up and I was more than relieved. we headed over the a little town bar. every time I go to "the country bar" I feel like I'm in an old country western movie. small, wood cabin like feel with 100 people packed inside and the jukebox a'wailin and the vlt's cha'chinging. it was alright. its not too often I hang out with Jeff's friends without him there but I was glad when he finally did arrive. cuz I freaking missed him after my loonnnnnnng boring day.

Sunday I tried to do a little more than just sit there and I managed to get out a little bit. it was really a beautiful weekend. I'm such a wimp though and I just did not feel like snowmobiling. I kind of think maybe I should have. for some reason I am just scared crapless of being on the stupid machine and I don't have that much fun on them. unless I'm driving, then I'm in charge and feel a bit more secure. I think one particular day - "Sunday Snowday From Hell" - screwed up my perception of snowmobiling :) anyway I have snowmobiled since that day (Feb 05), I just wasn't feeling it this weekend. next time i will! Jeff and i decided that we are both adventurous but in different ways - i am "explorative" adventurous, as in I like traveling and backpacking across europe is right up my ally, and he is "danger-seeking" adventurous, as in bungee jumping and whatever else. i think we'd be a funny team for "The Amazing Race."

i watched two movies this weekend - Jeff bought me "The Devil Wears Prada" and i have been meaning to watch this since it came out which was FOREVER ago! i loved it. Meryl streep was fantastic in it. very funny. not an academy award winning storyline but light and fun and girly.
...4 kristin stars!
"The Illusionist" - okay i am sorry but i could NOT stop comparing it to The Prestige which i absolutely loved. i wish i had seen this one first so that i could love Prestige even more, but no, sadly I liked Prestige much better. i know i know, they have a completely different story line but the whole magic thing, well it was really the same and was just ASKING to be compared! STILL, I REALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE! after about an hour...when it picked up :)
...3.5 kristin stars!
its just that i would give The Prestige 4.9 kristin stars. true fact.

and i thought this was gonna be a quick blog.

okay so today was Monday and Saskatchewan's first ever FAMILY DAY which in my opinion is a real treat. i think us prairie people suffer enough throughout January and February. we need like an entire week off, and i don't just mean the students. the govt should treat us all to a week off in Mexico.

and with that thought i shall turn on my glorious electric blanket so that i can fall asleep and dream of white sandy beaches and blue sunny skies. goodnight my bloggers, sweet dreams.

p.s. and, um, Edmonton lost the game against Vancouver (???) on Saturday night and i cried remorseful tears. (*******lies).
