My work party on Friday was fun. I actually played a game of pool (badly) but it was fun doing something that I hadn't done since I was 18.
On Saturday I was in my first car accident ever. That sounds way scarier than it was. It was a very very minor accident. On one of the first snowfalls of the year, my friend Mathew picked me up to go shopping. While driving on a back street, Mathew came to a stop and slid a bit. A couple seconds later, a car hit him. Mathew was like "was I just hit?" and I replied "What? Maybe? I don't know!" Turned out there's a scratch on the back of his car. Probably the most minor accident that anyone could be in, but I hadn't even been in something that insignificant before. Which is insane, considering the people who I grew up with. Some of my high school friends are notoriously bad drivers.
Sunday was another first for me: my first Raptors' game. It was super fun. It was such a close game, but oh-so exciting. My throat still hurts from yelling. Or so I hope. I may be coming down with the cold that everyone and their cat has these days.
Speaking of cats, last night mine was on top of the fridge. Being the disciplinarian that I am, I walked by and said "silly cat". Then, I was chatting online for a bit and I realized that I hadn't seen my cat in awhile. So I looked in all of her favourite hiding spots. No Rilo. I got distracted again, and forgot about her. When I was on my way to bed, I heard her meowing, and saw her waaaaaaaaay up on my kitchen cabinets above the fridge. I grabbed my camera 'cuz she looked terrified! (I think she fell asleep up there and then woke up spooked.) She was able to get down on her own, but was then very chatty about her adventure.
Last night I also discovered the new Leona Naess album "Thirteens". She had a very minor hit in the early part of this decade called "Charm Attack". Becca T and I used to rock out to that song a lot in our residence days. Anyhow, I found out she released something new, folksy, and indie and I love it. The title for this post comes from the song "Not the Same Girl" and is appropriate because...
...tonight I threw my second dinner party! I made the same food, but it was super fun. Entertaining makes Mondays more tolerable. Anyway, yay for food, and friends, and wine, and ice cream, and hot chocolate, and not doing work. Boo to the chores of going to the gym and marking which is how I'll be spending my Tuesday...

I'm glad the accident was only minor and that you are all right. I don't miss being in car accidents at all. I've been in six and none have been my fault or I was a passenger in the car. Two of those were rear enders (me being the person getting hit), three were t-bones, and the last was a side rub. All of them except one I walked away from. The last one was the one I didn't walk away from. Blerg!
Boo to the car accident. Damn Toronto snow falls.
Hmm, I remember almost getting into an accident in the Tdot involving a pedestrian. Eek.
What a silly cat. Fern and Norton are quite chatty, too. Norton gives a running commentary on everything she sees.
Damned Trailblazers! At least you got an exciting game!
I was not one of those bad drivers, but I think that I know who you mean!

I got whiplash from that accident. It snowed so much tonight, I better look out for more morons on the road tomorrow!
