More bits and pieces

I just booked my flight home for Thanksgiving and I am so, so excited. I cannot wait to see everybody. I want to visit with everyone and go to my favourite places and I don't think there'll be time for sleeping! I also found out today that my mom was rushed to the hospital yesterday because her appendix burst. Very scary. She's in the hospital until Friday and will be off work for a month. I can't wait to see her and hug her.

I've also booked my trip to NYC for this weekend to see Jenn. I'll be going it alone in the big city on Saturday and seeing her Sunday. Which means Saturday I'm going to cram full of some combination of: shopping, Central Park, NY Library, Guggenheim museum, Broadway show... which I don't think is that unrealistic given that my bus arrives into the city around 6AM! I <3 NY.

I shot a wedding on Sunday, and even though I prayed for days to the rain gods, it still rained the whole day. The ceremony was supposed to take place on a rooftop patio but instead 50 guests were crammed indoors into a living room. Thankfully the rain stopped for a few hours while we did photos outside in Mt Royal Park by the lake - which turned out beautifully! And then I stayed and photographed the reception afterward as well. It was really my first real wedding - I was there for about 8 hours! There are sooooo many photos to edit it's ridiculous!!!

I went to go see the Opera on Saturday night, and it was really amazing. Probably the best opera I've seen. It was a double showing of "Pagliacci" and "Gianni Schicchi." And it was also a good excuse to dress up. :)

So I've entered the hockey pool at work, and I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing. Okay I kind of do now because my dad's been helping me out... All I know is that I want to represent the Canucks amongst all these die-hard Habs fans. Which means I will definitely lose. Haha.

I can't believe September is almost over. Life is crazy these days.
