Went to the Stampede last night to hang out with some friends who I won't see again for quite a long time. They leave today for China, and some of them, particularly the one I'm closest too won't be coming back through Calgary before returning to their home towns or countries. So we hung out at the Stampede, watched the Grandstand Show (which was actually quite enjoyable this year - worth the price of rush admission just for the bagpipe playing comedian, and the good view of the fireworks.), and ate junk food. (Ah, mini donuts and corn dogs!)

Another friend and her husband leave today for Russia as well. I guess I'll be spending a lot of time over the next few weeks praying for friends overseas! Cool!

Trying to decide if I'm going to hang out with our house church tonight. There are two options for things people are doing, and neither one is particularly appealing to me. So, I'm debating taking myself to a movie - anyone want to see either "The Devil Wears Prada" or the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie with me tonight?

And with that I'm off to do some reading and writing and cleaning. Ah, the joys of a day off!
