Thanksgiving/closing of the cottage




I only now realize that i forgot to talk about my Thanksgiving weekend/closing of my girlfriends cottage.


It was an amazing weekend because i love the fall air it's so fresh and clear. my girlfriend, her sister and i went for an amazing walk and just relaxed, it was a great time to decompress.

On the bad hand , it's sad to have to close the cottage cause we know we won't be back till next summer :(. but that's life.

Till i write again!

Cheers
Mike

Back in time!!



Here is my pics that i promised! Enjoy, try not to laugh too much!






Blog Summary #2

Already past the half way point in my first university semester. Wow does time fly when your busy. It seems like summer was so long ago with the amount of things i have been trying to concentrate on lately.

Does this Blog summer #2 mean that i know understand leisure in my life more then i have before?Bad news... i don't think so, i do know on the other hand that i have to try and include more leisure experience because my life is only going to get more and more hectic( which i have to admit i enjoy). i have always been an active person but as mentioned in my last couple of blogs i have been trying new leisure experiences trying to see different aspect that i could include in my leisure lifestyle that are not already included.

One thing i do have to work on more is organizing my life a little bit more,just so i don't have to be doing things at the last minute all the time.I guess that will come with time just like everything else has in my life.

Until i write again!
Cheers!

New Leisure Experience?

how should i start this? New leisure experience? or is that just what i want you to read...

this past weekend , friday to be exact.... My girlfriend and i decided to get up early that morning and do something with our day.. something new, something fun... So we narrowed down the choice to two choices; one: the Biodome, and two: the botanical gardens. Just our luck, well more mine then my girlfriends, she gets her way most of the time. The price to visit, Biodome, Botanical and Insectarium was all in one package. so off we were.

I found this day a new leisure experience because the two other times i have been to the Biodome was with school and it had to do with a course i was taking. It had been over 8 years since i had been so i was pretty exciting. I also really enjoyed the gardins, it was a Holloween festival on top of that so it was unique as well.

I consider my girlfriends and I relationship pretty active because we enjoy to do things outside(bike,ski, camp,swim,rollerblade,snowboard etc...) this experience was different because we stayed active while walking around and learning new things( if not brushing up on my nature facts). The day flew by in what seemed like 1 hour when really it was about 4 and half. Before i knew it i was driving her to work and the night was over.

I hope to have some pics posted up soon(awaiting on her to load them off her camera!)

Till i type next, Thanks for reading.

Cheers

Blah!

I think you can tell over the past week i have not blogged.... now what does that tell you about me ? i'm lazy and don't want to blog ... I wish.

These past days i havent had time to do much, i was either at one of my two jobs or doing homework or sleeping. Today when i got home i promiss myself i would not even do any school activities but look @ me , i'm writting on my blog.

On a more personal note the reason why im writing on my blog is to let out what i did today when i got home from school at 8 after a midterm that i had. I went over to my girlfriends house which it had seemed like i hadnt seen in forever when really i saw her sunday night, but we have been both so cought up in our studies its like we have been working/playing beside eachother and not with each other. We both put everything aside and just went for a nice walk in this beautiful fall weather we are having ( i love the smell of the fall air its so chrisp) we just talked about everything from school to work to even us. She told me all about her trip to Quebec city( she went to the World Leisure Congress on monday).

In short form, i don't think it was really the conversation we had that made it special in my mind but more the time that we spent together alone with not a care in the world or even an idea of what the time was that made the night. It was a leisurely activity that i had not even thought about doing till that way home in the car.

Till i write again!

Cheers
Mike
