A weekend of fun with my family. The Harts gathered in Kelowna, B.C. this Thanksgiving weekend for fun and work. The work was attempting to put new hardwood on our stairs. Unfortunately, we could not finish the job as we need more mill work done and the shop is not open until tomorrow. The fun involved family feasting and parties. My sister Catherine and her family and my nephew Kyran were the only members missing this weekend and they were indeed missed. Much fun.
The company has returned to their homes and now it is back to work for everyone. I was up in the night with a sick Tabitha (she ate too much whip cream). So, I slept in. I will lift weights and dance tonight.
I am working on my final thesis as a whole revision. My committee has assured me this will be their last reading.
Want to watch this French film I have been excited to see–a thriller. So far I have had no time for any movie watching this week. Perhaps if I can keep my eyes open past 9 p.m….
I have only recently managed to meditate in the evenings again after a break all summer long. It is hard to do it all. Evenings I must choose: meditate, read or foreign film.
I want to have a party. My idea has been poo-pooed by Peter. Though, my girls think it sounds great! I wanted to have a Trani Party–dress as the opposite sex party. Peter and John assured me most guys will refuse to dress as women. Thus, I will change the theme. I want to dress up as Salvador Dali–I want to wear that long, crazy mustachio. Perhaps dress as your favorite artist party instead.
Looking to rent a studio downtown. Kelowna has no artist studio co-ops. Basically, I will carve a small space for myself. Not easy so far.
