Halifax, for Shizzle.

Yesterday i started my day at 7:30 with a croissant and some peanut butter, then by 9:00 (Clemence and I slowly did our morning routines) we were off to Halifax, Nova Scotia. We were super excited, I for Halifax, she because we were visiting a couple of her good friends. We stopped for a bagel in Masstown, NS, and drove to Douglas' house and hung out there for a bit. Then we went and picked up Sean and off to downtown Halifax! We parked the car and walked the boardwalk. I definitly saw Theodore the Tugboat Too (They tried to be funny. Instead of Theodore 2, it was Theodore Too...Ha ha, I almost forgot to laugh) Then we drove to Point Pleasent park and walked along the ocean. I got some dried out sea urchins, some purple zebre mussels and crab shells. It's so cool! I touched the ocean! And I was called an ocean virgin...boys an be silly. Is it really surprising that I've never been that close to the ocean that I can remember? I probably went to the ocean when I was in Northern Ireland, but I can't remember. Then we went to Rockbottom and I ate creamy garlic shrimp on pasta. Delicious. The only low point was that I lost my hat that I knitted...it had pompoms and everything!!! I'll have to make another one. Then at 9:15, we found out that the whole reason we went to Halifax was going to be late. They delayed Clemence's brother's flight from Zurich by an hour and he missed his connection from Montreal. So he was 2 and 1/2 hours late. We finally picked him up at 10:00. Mission Accomplished. And he got all his luggage. Bonus. Then after insisting that he would be fine, he passed out in the back seat until we hit Summerside, pretty much. By the time Clem and I got home, it was 2:30 in the morning. Bad news: we both work at 8:30. And that's not even the best part. Her mom was worried the whole time because of the massive storm that was barreling our way. The storm didn't come in until 3:00 this morning. That's right...we beat it by half and hour. And by golly was it a doozy! There has to have been at least 2 feet of snow...then it rained. But I couldn't sleep in the car because I had to keep Clemence awake while she drove. So I was awake from 7:30 am to 3:00 am...Thank goodness work was cancelled. I slept until 11:00. Then woke up with a massive headache. I hadn't eaten in over 12 hours. My body hated me. But I drank a lot yesterday. I drank 2 water bottles (500 ml), 2 Arizona Iced Teas (950 ml), and 2 glasses of water (~500 ml). That's right. Like 4 litres of liquid. I was peeing like a racehorse. It was hilarious.

Right now, I'm still at Clemence's. We're getting ready to clean...woohoo! Then it's crafting time. Then I should probably go home. Billiting ended last night. Everyone probably misses me. I'm so loved! :D Kiding...they're plotting revenge on me like right now. I can feel it...

I hope you haven't been neglectful with your own plotting! Could you bring back some ocean for me?

This ocean was pretty gross and fishy smelling but I have a sea urchin or a crab claw if you want. Maybe a shell would suffice??

And I'm in the process of plotting...I'll show them.
