Presents and the Witches Meetup

[crowdog66]

Went downtown a bit early and picked up gifts for beckyh2112, dark_puck, matrixrefugee, and nightdog_barks, all good solid Canadian presents from The Bay, which is a Canadian institution if ever there was one. Perhaps I'll get them all mailed tomorrow, along with eastpath's, on my way home from the doctor's appointment in the morning. Gaahhhh... I have to catch the bus for THAT at 9:20 am, which is way too early for my tastes.

So after shopping I go to the Second Cup on Graham Avenue, pick a table, set up my little "Witches Meetup" sign, and get myself a cup of coffee. And who should approach me but a freelance writer who's done work for CBC and the Winnipeg Free Press, interested in doing a story about witches in Winnipeg. He gave me his card and I gave him my phone number and email address -- it would be nice if we can get something going, I think.

Eight people in total showed up for the Meetup, and much good chat was had by all. I ended up leaving a bit early because of ongoing fluishness, but they were still going great guns when I left, so it's all good. Kathy gave me a LOVELY set of presents: a "Welcome" sign for our door with a sun motif, a gorgeous little "sleeping cat" figurine, and two coasters in a Wiccan theme, plus a pretty sun-and-moon patterned box to put them in. Squeeeee! *beams*

Now the question presents itself: go to bed now, or stay up and work all night? Decisions, decisions...

Yeah, that's George's take on it as well (re: staying up)...

4 am. OUCH. *winces* You have my sympathy.

I'd turn in early if I were in your shoes: I've made the mistake of not getting enough sleep when I wasn't well, in the past. ...Actually, I might turn in early anyway, since I just got in from a Christmas party my dad and I went to.

hi Laurie
If the free press person needs another "PR" witch, let me know, i'd be willing.

Ps. Did you hear that the HBC is probably being sold to an American company? So much for our own Canadian brands...
