The Whimsical Ramblings of Beth: Chase the winter blues away festivus weekend!

So we decided to get rid of the post holiday rut depression that everyone find themselves in this time of year. Laura-Line joined us early on Saturday to start the festivities at The Royal Oak and we sampled from the Robbie Burns menu. Mmmmm cock-a-leekie soup! Then we were off to the Museum of Nature which is still somewhat under renovations until 2009 even though they have been working on the place since I arrived back in '02. We only took an hour to go through the whole place but it was still fun. The dinosaurs and the mammal exhibits were the best although I was disapointed that the canadian diamond exhibit wasn't opening until the next day. I really do like sparkly things

Doesn't this one remind you of the tricerops from the Land Before Time?

Here's Lo and Ryan beside some Trexes. I didn't think it was possible that something would make Ryan look so small but there ya go.

Hmmmm..............well at least I'm not the only one that wants to bite his head off sometimes

Yay beavers!

We ended the night off at with dinner at the Prescott and then went to Yukyuks for Black Comedy night which contained some very questionable and triple X rated material. It was all and all a good day. Sunday was spent as it should be. Several cups of tea, a snuggly blanket, Ryan and I on our respective ends of the couch with some good books.

I've also included for your viewing pleasure some pictures of Christmas. Ryan and I got spoiled this year and want to thank everyone for our beautiful gifts. Ryan got me diamond earrings (yay sparklys!! Aunt Mimi I guess I don't need yours anymore!), dancing lessons (we're gonna learn how to tango or perhaps the forbidden dance the Lombada!), trivial pursuit, a good book, a conair hair designer and of course the elves brought me some fuzzy slippers and some top notch pj's!
