As you probably noticed, I did not write a blog post last night. The reason is that Amanda and I left shortly after the Library staff barbecue to drive to Dawson Creek so that I could deposit a check into my old bank account there. (long story as to why I couldn't do it here)
We got back to Grande Prairie about 1am and fell asleep pretty much as soon as we hit the pillows. We slept in, and by the time we finished breakfast, did a little bit of running around (recharging laundry card, picking up a few groceries, and stopping by Future Shop), it was close to 3 and we were off to Amanda's sister's place for the afternoon for pizza and a movie.
The pizza was great, but the hunt through a field of wheat for an errant model rocket that left my eyes bloodshot and watering and me sneezing wasn't quite so much fun.
The evening was cut short -- there was a minor accident on the kids' water slide that resulted in a trip to the hospital, and I asked Amanda to drive us back home because my eyes were still bugging me.
In short, it was a memorable afternoon, but not for the reasons we'd normally hope for!

Good Friday, Good Times!
Hi everyone!
I missed posting last night because I was on the way to Grande Prairie. I left immediately after work (8pm) and arrived here shortly after midnight Grande Prairie time.
Amanda and I thoroughly enjoyed our day today, though we really didn't do much. After breakfast we did some running around which ended up taking *much* longer than expected. We both added detours to our route, and mine included a run to Future Shop to play with the new iPads again. ...I think we were there 20 minutes. Amanda played around with some games, while I toyed around with Numbers to see if an iPad would work okay for me to keep track of my spending and such when I'm on the road.
I was really impressed. I was having fun with the iPad, and could imagine all the awesome things I could do with one. I considered for a *long* moment, then asked Amanda to get me out of there before I grabbed a salesperson to sell me an iPad.
She (very helpfully) reminded me that I've got a stove to buy, and we escaped. It made for an awkward afternoon though. After *not* spending ~$600, spending money on pretty much anything with a two figure price seemed really reasonable in comparison...
I managed to restrain myself to a $2.00 purchase -- a discount book from Coles about the final days of Bear Stearns. I think that's pretty good!
