      A few weekends ago a group of us went wine tasting for one of my friends’ birthdays. It was a beautiful day, and we had lots of fun. We went in Livermore, to 3 different wineries, and I discovered that at a lot of the smaller vineyards, the people that work in the tasting rooms are volunteers, and they get paid in wine.

      So I’ve definitely found my future career path. Out of all the wineries we went to, 3 Steve’s in Livermore was my favourite, it was across the courtyard from Tap 25, which had beer tasting for the boys, and the owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. They kept refilling our glasses and chatting with us long after our tasting was over.

      Possibly as a direct result of this, I decided it would be a good idea to do beer tasting next door. I really don’t like beer, so in a cruel twist of fate, all of the beers I picked to try were sold out, so they would give me an extra beer to make it up to me, and I ended up with 8 or 9 glasses of beer to drink, and I didn’t like any of them so I had to keep foisting them off on some unsuspecting gents at the end of the bar.

      It was a super fun day, and I’d like to go again immediately, and also every day thereafter.

      Thanks to all of the Amerrrrcans and their celebrations, I got to go home for a few days last week. It was amazing to be at home, and I’ve lost two toes to frostbite, so right on schedule, then.

      That one guy came with me, and I got to show him around my hometown and introduce him to some of my friends from high school. The whole weekend was filled with hockey, food, family and fun, we got to watch the Grey Cup, and also spent some time stuck with the truck in a snowbank so it was really the full Saskatchewan experience.

      I love my husband to death, and I have so much fun hanging out with him, but because of the way we moved here, and how we had been living for the past year, we have spent a ton of time together. Whenever one of us wasn’t at work, it was basically always the two of us together.

      I think it has really brought us closer together, but at the same time, I think it’s really unhealthy for a relationship for the two people in it to only have each other, and not have outside friendships, relationships and hobbies.

      In the last few months since I’ve started working and getting more comfortable with the area, I’ve definitely opened up more and really gotten to know some great people, especially some really great women. Women have always been a bit tough for me, the good girl friends I have are amazing, I would do anything for them, and they would do anything for me, but it definitely takes time to build those relationships, and it doesn’t happen with just anyone you meet.

      As much as I miss my ladies being so far away from them here, I have met some really fun, friendly, ambitious girls in the last few months, and I’m having a blast getting to know them, and spending time with them, yes, usually over a glass of wine. We have a lot in common, being young and female and just getting started in the work force, and also not from this area, so it’s been really great.

      I just got back from having a drink after work with one of my new favourite girls, and it was exactly what I needed after such a crazy week at work. I missed my bus stop and had to run almost 2 miles in the dark down rapist alley, but it was worth it. Sometimes all you need is a glass of wine and some girl talk to change your whole perspective.
