I'll Be Home for Christmas...
Well here it is Christmas Eve Day. I'm chillin' here in Summerside, PEI writing Christmas cards, and spending time with my dog Hollie. The house is beautiful. There are eight Christmas trees decorated. One tree is just for Hollie. It has doggie treats as ornaments.
It's a nice change to be home for the holidays. Last year I was in BC. I love BC, but spending Christmas by myself was difficult. I'll never forget it-watching "It's a Wonderful Life" and eating KD. :) Tonight we're off to church. My dad actually gets some time off work!
Well my trip home began on Monday. I took the sky shuttle from the university at 5am. The shuttle was full. Some people had to wait for another shuttle. A guy sitting beside me had to catch a 6am flight! As I was going through security I saw him. He missed his plane by a minute, but Air Canada got him a new flight at no cost. While waiting I met a guy going to Vancouver for Xmas. He said he would switch tickets with me. He was so jealous- I don't think he realises PEI is ncier in the summer. Anyway, he turned out to be a funny guy. He told me this joke:
Forrest Gump goes to heaven. The angels welcome him, but Forrest is upset becuase he doesn't believe it's his time. The angels make him a deal... if he can answer three questions correctly he can go back to Earth. Forrest would be given some time to think the questions over. Question #1: How many days of the week start with "T"? Name them. #2. How many seconds in a year? #3 What is God's first name? The angels felt sure Forrest wouldn't get the answers right, especially question #3. A couple of days later Forrest returns to answer the questions. Forrest exclaimed that there were two days of the week that started with the letter "t" -today and tomorrow. The angels laughed and said "ok good one." They didn't think he would get the other two right. How many seconds in a year? Forrest answered "12." The angels snickered "But Forrest there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour...How did you get 12?" Forrest replied "The 2nd of January, the 2nd of February..." The angels enjoyed the answers. That's fine. They knew Forrest wouldn't get the last question right. "Ok Forrest what is God's first name?" "Oh that was easy. I didn't even had to think about that one. It's in a song... "And he walked with me, and he talked with me..." lol Go Andy.
My plane was 45 mins late from leaving Edmonton due to all the luggage that had to be placed (or should I say thrown) onto the plane. I was supposed to meet a friend in Calgary, but unfortunately my plane to Halifax was already to go when I arrived. The plane had to be held for me and the other passengers. I sat in row 23. Now I should know by now what row 23 entails, but I didn't. Row 23 is beside the bathroom. I was in the aisle seat so I always had someone standing beside me waiting for the bathroom.
When we arrived in Halifax we were 45 mins late. Oh well... We didn't know there would be another snag- the bridge was working. The captain came on and said that we would have to wait becuase they couldn't get us off the plane. 20 mins later I was back on the ground. :) (Aside: Here is a silly joke told by WestJet: What did the father buffalo say to his little one as he was going off to school? Bison (Bye son). Lol just in case you didn't get it :)
My sister and her husband met me at the airport and we rushed off to my mom's for supper. The next day mom and I went to Costco where I had poutine. Suprisingly, they used real cheese curds and they gave me lots!
The next day I spent with my sister. We drove off to the valley to see my family! We spent the day with my grandparents and my uncles. A great day! The following day (I guess now Thursday) my sister and I took off to the Mic Mac Mall (not as big as West Edmonton Mall lol). In the bathroom I met up with a girl I hadn't seen since we graduated together. I always meet people in weird places. :) For lunch I picked up my old roommate Jill and we went to Cora's. Great to see good old friends.
Yesterday I arrived in PEI. My stepmom and I went shopping. Now you would think the malls would be crazy at this time of year, but because the island is so small there was hardly anyone out! We went and saw my dad on his coffee break and spent the rest of the night just chillin', watching' "Deal or No Deal." My dad is working again today, but he'll have some time off this week- before I return to NS.
Merry Christmas.
