Busy Day

Yesterday was definitly an interesting day. Jammed packed a lot of stuff into one day, because that's how it always works, you never get to spread it out.

First, Mom and I went to Toronto yesterday. We shopped, she showed me where my Dad lived when they first dating and we just walked around, it was cool. Then we went out to dinner and to Stars on Ice, which was amazing.

I love skating, have ever since I was a little girl, and watching it live... I've seen competitions, but competitions and shows aren't the same. Shows are so much more fun and the skating was beautiful. Best of all, Mom and I had a great time watching it together, which was really the whole point. After all, Mom's the one who gave me my love of skating and my favourite part has always been sharing it with her.

After the skating was over, we hurried home because it was the night of the Fishing Party, a Castleton tradition. I know, I get up at 8 a.m, spend the day shopping and walking around, and then I go home and go to a party that started at midnight, I know I'm crazy, but it's one of those parties that couldn't be missed. I've been going since I was a little girl and how could I give it up? It's one of the few time of year when I hang out with everyone around here, so...

It was a good party, but then it usually is. Mom actually went with me, which is interesting since she hasn't been to one of these things in about 10 years, since she decided I was only enough to watch out for myself and not fall in the pond or anything like that. It was never really her thing, always more my dad's and mine. Still, she went and it was cool. I think she might have even had a fairly good time.

There were lots of people, but there always are. It was mostly people I've known forever and feel super comfortable with. These are the people who saw me grow up and have loved me my entire life, as Mom said, these are my people. There's something entirely comforatble about that, about going to the same party you go to every year with people you've known since you were a child.

I had a really good time, thought I felt a little guilty for not being around a lot, since I don't usually do the local party scene. It's not my thing, but I always feel bad about it, since I do like these people, i just... Well, it is how it is.

I can't think of much else to say, given that I had three hours of sleep after being up for 22 straight hours. Yech.
