I am back home now and slowly getting back to the swing of things. Wow. That Holidays are exhausting! I don't know if I can even consider eating another sweet until.... At least Monday :) I can understand why there is such a long haul between Holidays with Christmas and Easter, you really do need the break after the festivities of Christmas.
Well, lets see, Quebec was fantastic! I just love Mount St. Anne, it's awesome for snowboarding and just the coziest little village! I highly recommend it. Turns out it was the 400th Anniversary of Quebec City so there was a Huge celebration right downtown. We braved the freezing cold I believe it was -16 w/o the windchill and climbed atop the citadel a wall with some 20 000 other people to watch the outdoor show and the fireworks. It was something to say the least! The fireworks we the best I have ever seen, honestly, it was insane!
We ended up driving home in a bit of a blizzard and stopped counting the cars in the ditch off the 401 when we reached 35 cars. I closed my eyes and begged that we pull over. Needless to say, I think I'll be flying next year!
We're home safely and I only left my purse behind once, which for me, is pretty good. For those who know me, they know I have a small issue with leaving that little guy all over the place. I am starting to think that I may do it subconceiously to be reminded of the good people in the world! I left my purse in a restruant in St. Anne De Beaupre... and didn't realize until we were checking into our hotel in Quebec City, the following day that I didn't have it. So we had to get back into the car and drive back to St. Anne. Small source of contention, I must say. We got there and in a mix of broken French and English, the server found it in the Manger's office. I wanted to hug her. In it, I had cash as well as my Ipod (which I never leave home without) and a number of gift cards from Christmas, not to mention all of my Identification, etcetera. I was just so happy that they had it -- It really is a horrible feeling to lose your wallet. I would image it is so much worse not to get it back, however, that has yet to happen to me. I seem to have the best of luck in this regard. The good people of the world always seem to find it and keep it safe for me.
Overall the whole trip was a great start to the New Year. I have so many projects and goals for the coming year with regard to my business, however they are ever evolving. So, I thought I would pose my personal New Years Resolution here so I can be held accontable.... I'll keep you updated on my progress:
1. Double check when leaving everywhere that I have my purse.
2. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Water really is the fluid of life.
3. Stop paying for an unused gym membership.... Physical fitness is key to wellbeing and I need to utlizie the gym, rather than just paying for it.
4. Become involved in a Charity. This is a good goal for everyone really, there are so many people that need assistance in the world.
5. And finally, blog everyday... really this is quite difficult, but I am gonna try!! Those all seem like fairly common resolutions...Perhaps I'll add to the list as the year progresses! I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday season and a wonderful 2008!
