yup, Christmas is cancelled...

So, on the weekend I went home to Winkler to visit my parents and hang out with them. I got to see them on Easter, but we didn't get to really talk and hang out so I went out there on Friday after I got off work and stayed until Saturday night. So, we got to hang out. The reason for the picture however, are my niece's rollerblades. Not the most hightech ever, probably from Wal-Mart, and unfortunately I did discover that they're about a half a size too small. So, that made some sidewalks a little hard. And it was a little embarassing to be rollerblading down the sidewalk in Winkler and losing my balance half the time. I haven't rollerbladed for a really long time. But it was fun to see my parents and hang out.

Well, today was also fun. And as the title suggests, Christmas is now going to have to be cancelled. Why, you may ask? Because I broke a Christmas tree today. Yup... during my stint of slave labor these past hours for someone who shall remain nameless, I was told to help out with getting the Christmas trees from the outdoors. Funny question, right? Because it's MAY. But, I helped. No complaining. And the tree was stuck, so I shoved the tree over so that it would be easier to drag into the house. Forgetting the fact that the Christmas lights were still on the tree. A couple really loud glass breaking sounds later, and the tree had toppled over. So now there's glass shattered all over the driveway and the stupid tree started falling apart. It broke into 3 parts, but, thankfully, the lights stayed on making it IMPOSSIBLE to be carried by just one person. So, with glass shards in my hand, I hauled the stupid thing in with some minimal help from Catherine. (Just jokes, she was carrying most of it.) But, that's the story, stupidly, I wrecked Christmas. Or maybe they wrecked Christmas by leaving the Christmas tree out until MAY. Just a thought...
