I did not vote in the provincial election – as a matter of principal – I do not vote when not uptodate on the issues and the people I could be voting for. So this year’s big election promise has come to pass – an additional long weekend in February. I have to say its about time that we had an early long weekend and I waiting for this one with much anticipation as we had decided to forego any special Valentine’s Day gifts/activities in order to maximize our spending on this weekend.

The first thing I did a few weeks ago was followup with something that James was mentioning at work. The website Priceline.com, it saved me effectively 200$ on two nights of hotel rooms. With a quick search I was able to isolate the hotel I want and the range it normally goes for and got it at the appropriate price, rather lucky on the first attempt but it made things simple.

Next up was activities – which resulted in a 4h walk around the local malls, visit to Dave and Busters, a movie (Juno), and Medieval Times. It was quite the enjoyable experience even if we did have to leave the cat’s at home with the auto feeder running and a quick check by family. Anything more than 2 days though would have required a pet sitter.

I will post some pictures when time provides. On a side note I did fall off the wagon and have 2 diet pepsi this weekend – for those that do not know i am cutting back and eating healthy – by Friday I had seen 9lbs lost. I behaved for the most part considering we constantly ate out so am happy at that.

A little more to say on Juno – I really enjoyed this movie and was glad to be able to see it, I hope that they honor it with a few awards.

MTL has caught OTT @ 73 pts on the season – go Habs. Now coming into the home stretch I hope both teams excel.

Later
