Today was my first Family Day holiday while living in Alberta. I only became aware of this holiday a couple months ago while looking at the Christmas holiday schedule. It was nice to have a long weekend in the middle of February.

Since today was a holiday, many stores were closed such as the barber shop just up the road where I attempted to get my hair cut this afternoon. After realizing this, I headed down to the Superstore where they have a barber shop, plus a Subway restaurant and few other small stores. It felt a bit awkward getting my hair cut in a grocery store, but it ended up being one of the best haircuts I’ve ever received. This will definetely be the place to get my haircut from now on. I’ve blogged about this a few times before.

This afternoon after checking out TicketMaster to see if any big concerts or events are happening around the Calgary area, I found out that Gordon Lightfoot will be coming in October. Since Caitlin and I are both fans of his music, I purchased a pair of tickets which are 8 rows away from centre stage. Now we have to wait 8 months…

February 13 never had any significance for me until this year. It’s exactly 3 months (1/4 of a year) until I will be getting married!

After much ado, here are my 5 weird habits, in no particular order:

• When I take the bus/C-Train, I prefer to stand even when there are plenty of available seats.
• After cooking a meal, I tend to rinse off the pots and pans to avoid making it more difficult to scrape the hardened food off while doing the dishes after I’ve finished my meal.
• Since I’m an aviation nut, I love watching planes taking off and landing. This is also informative as it tells me which way the wind is blowing.
• I detest being late for anything, therefore I usually arrive at events either very early or right on time.
• I only drink the remaining milk out of my cereal bowl when I’m at a friend’s house having a social breakfast with a group of people. When I’m by myself, the milk goes down the sink.
