I'm stuffed.

I spent the morning watching TV and the afternoon taking the kids to see that movie about the dog from Beverly Hills. It was stupid. It was funny. It was crowded. It gave Mom time to make the turkey and bake some pies and tarts. It gave my brother-in-law time to sleep and my sister time to do her homework. And it gave me time with the kids.

We bought their halloween costumes too. My sister usually makes them herself but with her being back in school I didn't think she'd have the time.

My niece is going as: ATHENA! How bizarre, eh.

We're driving up to Edmonton tomorrow so Mom can visit her friend she hasn't seen in forever and we can catch the Oilers game. And see my boy Ryan Smyth. We're in row 18, bitches.

Time to go have apple pie.

I have a headache.

I'm supposed to meet my brother for dinner tonight, give him the hockey tickets for tonight's game and drop them off at said game.

I'm also supposed to fly out tonight for Calgary for the weekend.

We're looking at driving up to Edmonton on Sunday if we can score tickets to the Avalanche game. So I'm packing my Smytty jersey because I still love him.

My Mom's going to make turkey.

I get to hug and kiss my nieces and nephews.

I used my points to fly Mom to Calgary. I bought 10 travel credits through Air Canada for myself (something around 2K). While booking my seats, I was checking out what seats were assigned to my Mom and what seats so I could sit somewhere close.

Turns out, on my points, she's flying "business class". I'll be passing by her to sit in coach.

I bought the 10 travel credits because I figured I'm going there for a few hockey games and why not pay up front for cheaper than wait for airfares. Plus, pay up front, pay it off, get 700 extra air miles and then fly "free" later.

I did something that made me feel really, really dirty.

The dirtiest I've ever felt.

I had to shower and scrub.

It was so gross and disgusting and demeaning and I swear I lost a bit of my soul after it was all done.

I bought tickets on ebay to see the canucks for a game that doesn't feature the Oilers.

The only team worse than the leafs when paying for tickets.

The flames.

My brother's in town so I've been talking to him daily. On Sunday when we were out and about he asked if I knew anyone who would have tickets to the game on Thursday.

See, my brother loves the Flames.

Ick.

I want DNA tests done.

So, I was scouring e-bay last night and bid on a pair and got them.

Thankfully I won't be tortured with having to attend the game, but it's still pretty gross that "flames/canucks" is showing up on my credit card.

It made him happy though.

So I suppose that makes it a little better.

But it still is disgusting.
