turkey and henna parties and other fun stuff

Here's a photo of the henna I did at my friend Diana's house on Saturday. The pattern is from Ganesha's Henna Garden.


We had a pretty fun time with it, painting our hands and hanging out. Diana had a few new videos of traditional Indian dancing, and we watched a really interesting movie called Baraka, which is more a series of images than a conventional film. She also got hold of a couple of bellydance instructional videos of....well....dubious quality at her work. I've actually seen a lot of recommendations and good things said about Amira Mor's Bellydance your way to your soul mate, but I honestly don't see any redeeming qualities except the amusement factor! Which is too bad, because the other video of hers that Diana brought home didn't look too bad.

Other than that, it's been a relatively uneventful, relaxing Thanksgiving weekend. Michael and I both had Thursday and Friday off, and while he worked Saturday and I work today, we are also both off on Monday. Maybe we will actually be able to go on that picnic we've been thinking about forever! We were at a friend's house for Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday, and spent a lazy day Friday hanging out at Starbucks. Saturday night we spent having dinner with another couple we met through work.

Weather remains too hot. Usually it cools down at least a little bit by this time, but we're not even into jeans weather yet! Counting the days till we travel to Edmonton ...
