How Brilliant!

Man, I love short work weeks. I have a 3 day week this week(last day tomorrow)...which is good because the roads SUCK here in Calgary(the city is seriously lacking in snow-clearing manpower)! I have, then, a 5 day weekend (WOOHOO!!) and a 4 day week next week! I do love my job, most days, but I also really love sleeping in and having the day to do what I want...NOT including disciplining unruly and noisy children! It is most unfortunate that Duane can't have the time off that I have, aside from our weekends together, but at least we have that. We tend to be weekend warriors because that's the time we have to do fun stuff. We'll almost always have dinner with friends on Friday night, and being that it's winter, Duane and any number of people will head out to the snow-tipped peaks around Calgary to "make fresh tracks" on Saturdays. I, then, act the housewife part and stay home to tidy our cozy abode. When it's not winter, I forego cleaning to head out to the not-snow-covered peaks with our friends to set my sights upon the nature that we are blessed to have around us. And there is most definitely camping involved. Anywhooo...back to the point since it's not summer and I don't go to the mountains. Since I don't go to the mountains, Duane and I called up my dear sister and bro-in-law in Whitewood, Saskatchewan and invited ourselves out there for a few days to enjoy the flatness of the beautiful prairies! I love winter in Saskatchewan :) Yes, I'm nuts apparently. I miss having my family close to me, so we had to remedy it by using my days off work to visit. I'm pretty excited about going out since it's been a few months since we've had the chance to see them.
Well, priorities are priorities and American Idol is starting now...so I must go! Oh the shows I indulge in with "peasant-vision". I can't wait for Amazing Race to start again. :)
