My Big Getaway

Andy is leaving for his golf retreat on Sunday. I am SO jealous. He will be coming home on the 6th. Lucky bugger gets to go somewhere good; (Fernie BC is absolutely beautiful) My holiday on the other hand... depends on how you look at it. My sister has offered to come here and get Hudson and I and take us to her place in Vanderhoof for the week. So thoughtful of her, but not exactly the getaway of my dreams! It will however, be great to have help with the little dude. This teething business has almost driven me to the point of insanity at times, and still no teeth. (I recently found that Camilia single dose in liquid form rather than tabs works wonders).But, his cold and lack of help with parenting has left me worn out. Another bonus: spending quality time with my nephews and niece. Last time they were here I was a bit busy having a baby, so there really was no visit.

Vanderhoof has maybe, oh... lets say 5,000 people on a good day. I get stir crazy when I visit. But lately, I have been doing that at home so what the hell. The city I live in now is not overly huge but not knowing every other person is a good thing, as well as getting anything you can think of when you want it. The sidewalks roll up at 6:00pm there, very few things are open after then. I did after all live there for 10 years, and met some pretty amazing friends along the way. (T? D?) I can proudly say that I did attend (and host) some pretty fun parties back in the day! Small towns do have the odd perk. One thing I can't wait for: CROCKS revolution. Fuck, I hate them. Last time I was there, they were everywhere.

I do intend on using her new deck to it's full potential. After all, I will not have my own vehicle there so I will not be out and about visiting. I also hope G&G will survive without seeing Hudson for the week. (Hubson as Grandpa would say).

I am sure I will have a post or two to shout out while I am away.

  1. I haven't been there for 4 years. I do kind of miss it sometimes.

    Make the best of it and enjoy being with your sis.

  2. Yikes -- hide out at your sis' and it should be a good holiday but I definately am currently repelled by any thought of having to go to Hooterville. Come to Dawson any old time -- we would love to have you and the little dude.
