mythtellerSpent the weekend in Quebec city with the folks. We would've left Friday night, but we had a friend having a birthday party before he leaves for India for a year.
While in Quebec, we visited friends and family and did some shopping. I picked up some summer shoes and sandals (don't worry: I won't wear them with socks) and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarahcarotte picked up some shoes and a kick-ass cool shirt.
We also visited my nieces and their parents on Sunday. The oldest (Alexandra) is a grunting teenager at 13, but at least she was in a good mood. The middle child (Samantha) is 9 years old and the youngest (Natasha-my godchild) is 7. It's always a pleasure to see them (and bring them Easter candy) and we stayed for supper and I got to tuck them into bed (after telling them a story).
Natasha always blows me away with the things she says. Most of the time, I can't understand what she's saying and then she'll come up with something that leaves me stunned. This time, after calling out for her mother after I tucked her in, her mum came up to me very seriously and said "Natasha is concerned about your health. She's afraid your heart will stop beating if you don't stop stressing out about work and lose some weight."
Heh. I gotta start cycling to work. I'm under Niece's orders!
