A half day off

So the last few days have been busy. We went to a BBQ at out cousins, which was busy and we had a great time. Then up to the inlaws for a nice dinner last night. Two nights not cooking hooray. Today I worked a short morning and headed to town with Mom. She had an appointment so I tagged alone to have a day out. I also made an apoointment with the doctor to go in and see him in a few weeks. Had lunch in the mall and wandered around. Then came home and chatted with a long lost college buddy that I found today. I found two yesterday as well. It was a hoot talking with them online last night. So many fun memories to recount. Read books, had a long soak in the tub, played with the dogs... then went out for dinner with the hubby. Then took the dogs and the cat for a walk.

While I have not been watching the news that much for the last while but the last few days there is so much on. Bomb threats to BC Ferries, debate over extending the Canadian mission to Afghanistan or not, more soldiers and civilians being killed in Iraq. There is so much opposition to both situations now that North Americans are facing more losses and are becoming more aware of the governments twisting of facts or fiction for their own purposes. This song is one of my most favorite pieces. It was an antiwar song during the Vietnam protests and is relevant now.
