Our first visitor!

Just as I was wishing my brother, Greg, lived closer to me, he calls me up and says, "I'm coming up after work today!". I was excited all day in anticipation, and Brian's excitement was shown through the cinnamon buns he made, just for the occasion. We all had a great time during the quick visit weekend. We wandered around town, went to see a movie, had some great discussions, we made pizza... Discussions with Greg are usually pretty funny, mostly because of the one-liner's we come up with mid-story. Monties are known for a few things, firstly, we all talk with our hands: And secondly, most conversations are done while laying down, especially after dinner (notice the hand movement below, and please ignore the fact that I'm wrapped up nicely in the Ugly Blanket): The most exciting part about Greg's stay was the ping pong tournament. Brian beat Greg overall two games to one, but it was a battle! For anyone eager to play Greg in the future, here's a hint: he's quite fond of producing a ping pong spin in an attempt to sketch-out his opponent, however, it's not the spin that sketches us out, it's the fascinating form he displays while creating the spin. Greg's time here ended far too quickly, and then it was back to the usual. What's the usual, you ask? Hmm... Well, I look for work in the local papers, and on line (that takes about ten minutes, and then I kill another 45 minutes reading the rest of the paper). I do yoga (that takes 35 minutes to an hour). I work on my yoga teacher training studies (sometimes I do that for a few hours). I write in my journal (that can take five minutes up to an hour). I watch the geese making fun random tracks in the snow while eating worms (?) in our front yard (I usually get bored after about 7 minutes). I look out at the view to get inspired (it only takes a few seconds to get inspired, but I usually end up zoning out for nine minutes at least). I do a lot of drawing and colouring (sometimes that can soak up three hours or more, but my hand gets pretty tired and my left eye always gets bloodshot - colouring is harder and more stressful than it seems, just like crocheting). I make a lot of cookies (the process of making them takes about 45 minutes, and then about three seconds to eat one sample, or three). Other than that, I've been going into town for yoga classes and doing a bit of shopping for the Christmas gifts we're making this year. It's been fun, and I really enjoy the bike ride into town (that usually takes 26 minutes each way). Generally, I'm feeling quite creative in many ways and pretty chillaxed. I understand I'll have to shave off a bit of time from my desirable hobbies here and there once I get a job.... unless I get a job as a baker/yoga instructor/illustrator/editor...
