Winning streak

I went out to play pool with my dad tonight. (His singles group plays every Wednesday.) I somehow managed to be on the winning team each time. :) I'm not sure how, since I didn't sink that many balls. (However I did sink some... and I think I did pretty good considering this was the fifth time I've played.) Not only that, but I won a prize in the drawing... a gift tin of Crown Royal. Me. Who doesn't drink. (Well, I'll drink some light wine occasionally, but never any hard stuff.) I told my dad I'd wrap it and put it under the tree for him. Dad and Odie didn't win anything in the drawing... but I'm sure they'll enjoy my prize. ;) I may ask dad if I can keep the pretty purple tin it came in. I think I'll let him keep the cute little shot glasses though. It's not like I have a big use for shot glasses. (And he did pay for my ticket. ;) )

Well, I'm off to enjoy the wind chimes as I fall asleep. Not too much wind out there though... it's just bitterly cold. Speaking of which, we've been having some pretty weird weather here since I arrived... we keep getting "Alberta clippers" which have warm air ahead of them, and then bring cold air. The temperature has fluctuated between about 0 and -30 Celsius several times already. It's currently -31C, but with windchill it's -43C. (Aren't you glad you're not here, Paulina!) Today I was wishing for a nice wool scarf and tuque, instead of the acrylic ones I have now. However, I've promised not to visit the LYS until *after* Christmas. *sigh*

They're currently forecasting -8C for Christmas, but a few days ago they thought it might actually rain! Crazy.
