Skating And The Oscars

Confusing title?  Well allow me to explain …

Kate and Lee hosted a canal skating party yesterday … which was a lot of fun!  It was a get together for the Craft Class crowd … if you don’t know who that is, then there’s no point in explaining it … :D … but this represented the longest amount of outside time which the Carders (Oakville Chapter) have had all winter long.  And it was nice!

Brie was out in her little snowsuit … and looked kinda like Ralphie’s little brother from A Christmas Story … she couldn’t get her arms down … she wasn’t too keen on the whole outside thing at first … but she took a turn for the better and was laughing and giggling with the whole crowd by the end of the day … the fresh air totally wiped her out … as she passed out immediately upon being put into the car … and then slept for almost two hours straight for the ride home …

And then the Oscars were on … on the ride home Shari and I briefly discussed whether or not we had any interest in watching them … which we agreed we didn’t … which of course means that we then watched the whole damned show …  I was actually surprised … not only by Hugh Jackman’s stage performances … but also just in the general quality of the show … it was clear that some thought had gone into how to make the show a bit more streamlined and compressed … but yet the overall feel seemed to harken back to the old glamour-filled days … an enjoyable show, and Shari and I are now going to have to take in Slumdog Millionaire …
