Jana came down this weekend. On her drive into SH, at about 1:30am, she got pulled over by the RCMP (actual size). You'd have to live here to really appreciate how funny that is. No one ever gets pulled over here. The 4 RCMP officers that are stationed here are just for show. So it's funny that it took some life-in-the-fast-lane Upper Canadian. Believe you me, people will be talking about all week.

Anyway, after waking up a little later than planned on Saturday morning, we hit the road to Halifax for our spa day. We both had a facial, and a lovely pedicure. We finished everything off by having our makeup done. Unfortunately, we both ended up looking a little like this. It was nothing a few touchups with strong kleenex couldn't fix.

We went to La Cave for supper. If you are looking for a quiet setting for a meal, this is a great place. Though the decor leaves something to desired (the linoleum floor looked like it was taking out of a 1970's kitchen, and the 'art' was straight out of K-Mart), the food was good, and the service was excellent.

We spent Sunday grocery shopping, and driving around the area, exploring some of the lesser travelled roads in the area. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we really got the appreciate the scenery.

Hey, this i s neat. This is on the way into SH. I love that dice. The Innuksuk I've only noticed the last few times I've been on that highway. But I must say, Nova Scotians do love their roadside art. Oh, and their snowmen.

So, this week will be pretty slow, no doubt. I just have to get through Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday, I'll be going to Hali for a conference on Contraceptive Technology. I'm excited for our workshop with Venus Envy. I'd love to open up a business like that back home, though I'm not sure they're ready for it. Still, it's the perfect mix of fun and education. It's a great place.

I'll be coming back on Friday, where I will actually have a weekend alone (well, one day, really). Sunday I fly to Toronto, where I will see Caitlin, who doesn't look like that at all, except for one night. I will also see Jana again, who has a whole bunch of goodies for me, including this, which I have been lusting over for quite some time now. I'm excited to get it, but a little nervous as to how to get it home by plane. We'll see, I guess.

One more thing. Google has once again has elimininated the need for me to think on my own. I was never properly taught measurement conversions. I have no idea how many centimeters there are in a foot, or how many yards there are in a hectare, or how many liters there are in a mile (haha). But did you know that if you simply type in "153 centimeters in inches" into Google, it'll do the conversion for you? BRILLIANT!

I have now been blogging for over an hour, so it's best I get back to work. Happy March, everyone.
