Skating at the Chateau

Well I was suppose to go skating with Chloe and Lance over at the rec center today..at least that's what I thought when I walked over there and read a sign that said "Rink closed till 7pm" which you know what that means..friggen Hockey game at 7pm :( Luckily I ran into them back at Pinnacle and they were getting ready to head into a cab up to the chateau to skate. So I joined along even though I have a little fear of skating on frozen lakes.

We got up there and saw there were a few people on the ice and no one falling through so that was a good sign to proceed ahead.

I forget how tiring skating can be when you are not a kid..and how the fear of falling is greater than I imagined, but still a good time. So after we had our fill of skating we decided to head back home but before we left this woman asked us where we rented our ice skates and we told her the down in the village. She thanked us and that was it but as she was talking to us I thought to myself she looks really familiar. Afterwards I said to Chloe "I think that was Marcia Gay Harden" Chloe didn't know who that was but when I came back home and looked it up on the Calgary Herald website to see who was here at the Celebrity weekend up at the Chateau and sure enough she was on the list ..so..there!

Last night was fun too. Went over to Ashly's and Annika was there as well. Got into the wine and whisky (such a great combination!) than headed over to the spa house to join the others for a little drinking. After being there for an hour (and aquired some new clothes and bag from Danielle that she didn't want anymore, score!) I decided it was time to go so Annika and I left and found more people drinking outside at the ice bar..so what can you do but grab a glass and join in. Probably wasn't very smart of me since I had to work at 6:30am the next morning but I figured hey, not like I have a lot to do at work anyway. Good times :)
