So QUIET.
The last week of October and first week of November were pretty dead at the hotel, and I really didn't do anything exciting - unless you count catch up on some sleep and let my body recover from all the crazy work/parting that goes on up here.
Hallowe'en was AMAZING. Jenna and I went out Saturday night to Tent City - the on-site bar for a staff Hallowe'en party just to get a feel for the weekend. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to glam with one of your girlfriends before the bar and have a few drinks before you head out! Deffinetly a must for future nights. A few of the new guys joined us for pre-drinks, and quickly learned that if you want a shot, you ask me what to try first, before (drunkenly) raving that I should totally be a bartender (love you too... now go sober up)
So, even if TC was pretty lame when we went at 11, and still not that great when we left at 12, it was totally worth it to see Jenna smash herself in the face with the cane for her costume, and was a perfect time to try out my Spider-Girl look (which went over great!)
Monday night was even more fun (and made even better by NOT having to work on Tuesday - yay for recovery days!) We once again got all glammed here before heading over to a party in New Staff (where it's more apartment-style rooms that college dorms) and then heading into the bar with a bunch of co-workers. The one thing I will say is never assume that leaning against a wall will keep you upright after a few drinks when the floor is slipery - more like than not, you`ll wind up flat on your butt with your shoes somewhere else. Not the most glamorous experience, but its definitely good for a laugh!
Hallowe'en at the B was awesome, because we got to hang out with a bunch of our supervisors and managers in a pretty chill setting, and we really got to see Logan let his hair down, making the night extra-memorable.
Tuesday and Wednesday were spent quietly, just hanging out and catching up on the sleep lost over the weekend. Thursday was a remarkably short day at work, and very uneventful afterwards.
Friday actually tried to kill me. We (Mel, Iris and I) went on a beautiful hike of Maligne Canyon which ate up the entire day. We got up bright and early, and grabbed a quick lunch at the bean before we left (Burger day... YUM!) and then hit the trail at 11:30 am. we took our time getting to the Canyon, and got some absolutely breathtaking pictures of the lakes on the way up. The views were very reminiscent of my time in New Zealand, even if the hike was 10xs more difficult than the hike around Mt. Doom. The trails wound around the side of a mountain, and were fairly slick at times, and always climbing up higher and higher. it was a great workout, and was totally worth it! Except for the whole trying-to-fall-down the mountain thing I did on the way back, but... What's a hike without a few scrapes and bruises? And a pulled shoulder and strained ankle...
At least no one can say I'm not still a Klutz in Jasper!
And finally... last night, we went into Town again, because it's Jenna's last weekend in town, and Matt's birthday, so we pulled out all the stops... and the night is basically one big blur.
So, no news there unfortunately. I spent most of the day in bed, nursing a nasty little hangover, and cursing the texts that kept coming into my phone though.
Tomorrow... well, tomorrow is another day, and a day with big plans!
So, you'll just have to wait and see!! ;)
