Where do I start?? I shouldn't leave this so long - it's not like we had a ton of stuff going on, but I can't remember what we've been up to...
Let's see - mid-April, we took a trip out to Salmon Arm to help paint the basement at the midgets' house. Both Bandit and Buddy came with us. Bandit is a treat to drive with (he sleeps in his carrier for 98% of the drive!) I made a quick stop at the quilt store while I was there and found some neat fabrics I couldn't live without! I also ended up with a killer cold by Saturday night, which I managed to pass on to some (but not all!) of my loved ones - sorry!
May 1st - Sloane & I ran a 10k in Calgary with Jared & Lindsay. When I say we ran it with them, let me clarify - Jared (no training...) finished under 1 hour - Sloane & I saw him coming back when we were well under 1/3 of the distance in! Lindsay was heading back (she did train a little) and we saw her coming back around the halfway point. I sprinted across the finish line and finished a microsecond faster than Sloane. It was fun... I am still recovering.
May long weekend - off camping southwest of Rocky Mtn. House for 2 nights - it was COLD out (but because I sleep in a trailer, it was tooooooooooooooooooooooasty warm!) I made bison lasagna for supper one night, we had steak/potatoes/corn on the fire the next night. The sun finally did come out for more than 10 minutes on Monday morning (in time to pack up and drive home) Buddy went for a big swim in the river! He was pooped and depressed by the time we got home on Monday afternoon - poor dog!
The week following the long weekend, I was off. Decided it was time to finish painting the ceiling in the living room (it's been about 3 years with just the outside 2 feet painted...), which led to patching the walls again, and another pile of primer, and finally paint! It's not done, and I'm back to work now. And we're training for a triathlon in 4 days (I signed us up with 10 days notice) - it's Didsbury to Carstairs, so not too crazy! I've gone swimming a few times and am glad to be back in the pool again. I'm not so hot on the running, but it's not so terrible anymore!
So, for the most part, we're just working on finishing up the 'finishing' around the house, enjoying the finished parts, and planning to go camping as much as we can. And do some search and rescue training. In our spare time. Voila!
