\"MerryI can’t believe it’s December already. Actually, I can<\/b> believe it’s December: it’s been really<\/b> cold. Still, Christmas is now officially Around The Corner. And guess what? I haven’t written my Christmas cards yet! But… I have done most of my shopping! On Saturday the Globe had an article about online Christmas shopping, and so motivated, I fired up the PC and got rid of a good chunk of my Christmas list. Best yet, it’s being shipped direct to England so I don’t even have to carry it across the Atlantic!<\/p>\n

Saturday night the Usual Suspects were round at Joyce’s for her ab fab chicken\/lemongrass\/yummy soup and flavourful chicken curry. Yum!<\/p>\n

Sunday we did the church thing and then invaded France<\/a>. Followed by a trip up to Baldwyn Street for italian food.<\/p>\n

The second of my three big client workshops was yesterday, so despite the fun stuff we did on the weekend I was pretty stressed on Monday. Well, not too stressed as I was pretty well prepared, but still… Anyway, the workshop went very well, so I’m quite relieved.<\/p>\n

Last night was busy, too. First I met Anne at Kelly’s surprise baby shower, which followed the Exultate Christmas Concert<\/a> dress rehearsal. It was held at Bar Mercurio on Bloor<\/a>, normally a very nice place, though last night I wasn’t too impressed with the waiter telling me that he’d forgotten to place my dinner order ten minutes after he’d previously said he’d bring it out. I was on a deadline, as I had a ticket to the Accenture<\/a> box at the ACC<\/a> for the Leafs-Lighting game<\/a> last night. I made it down about halfway through the second period, which is about the time that the Leafs, trailing 2-0, started playing hockey. They eventually won a very exciting 4-3 game in overtime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
