Freaking COLD!!!

Holy cow it's cold here! Its' been -20 to -30 for the past three days! I've had to start plugging my car in at work overnight. Good thing I have Travis around cause he had to look for my heater cord. I'm sure I would have found it eventually but it's so much nicer to have him do it for me ;0)
We had a great weekend. Weekends have never been very significant because I do shift work but now that Travis has weekends off it really sucks when I have to work especially going back to work on Mondays! On Friday night we went to Banff for a movie and Saltlik martinis with another couple who work with EMS. We went to see the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale. My first James Bond movie acutally. I enjoyed it but apparently it wasn't as 'gadgety' as most James Bond movies. Saturday was supposed to be my 'surprise' birthday treat. Travis had planned a helicopter tour as my birthday present. How great is he eh?! It didn't happen though cause the weather wouldn't co-operate and it was too foggy :0( We went up to Kananaskis in the afternoon to the grand opening of Dave and Michelle's rental shop. It looked great, I'm sure they will be very successful. Travis and I bought matching down mittens even though it was my idea to buy them first ;0) and a crazy carpet!! We went out and had a very nice dinner with his parents then went to Dave and Michelle's for celebratory drinks. We had planned to crazy carpet home, I wonder if that counts as drinking and driving though, but ended up forgetting it at home...darn! next time. Then Sunday was a lazy day of grocery shopping for this week's dinners and then I had to go to work. This is the last of my night shifts and then I finally switch to days on Friday for the month of December.

December is going to be a busy month. My birthday is coming up next week and I'm going to try and completely forget about it. Turning 26 just means I'm getting a whole lot closer to 30. Oh well. Maybe the botox they want to give me for my neck can be used on some of my multipying wrinkles. Then we've got Christmas parties galore for the rest of the month and then it's Christmas! We're spending it at my mom's this year and I'm super excited because it will be our first christmas in her new house. We're leaving on the 22nd and coming home on the 26th. I'm so excited that I'm not working Christmas again this year but not so happy that I have to work New Years Eve. Oh well, I guess I can't have everything I want.
Better get back to work. It was a hellish evening but seems to have settled down, all except for the screaming baby out here at the desk but she's adorable so it's ok.
