At the Shaw Christmas Party

December 5, 2010

The Shaw Christmas Party was very, very fancy. I have never seen anything like it. I would have to say it was as fancy as a Saudi prince’s first wedding. The Vancouver Convention Centre was all decked out for 2400 people. It was set up beautifully, like a gigantic wedding reception – we had place [...]

Shifty Santa

November 6, 2010

I was up before the crack of dawn this morning and was sitting at the IHOP in Abbotsford at 9:00 sharp with my knife and fork ready for pancakes. I had the Rooty Tutti Fresh & Fruity breakfast and plenty of coffee in an effort to have maximum energy for the day ahead. And did [...]

What I did with my Pretzel M&Ms

September 15, 2010

From time to time, I get sent things to mention on my blog. Remember that time I got to drive that electric prototype car called The Chevy Volt? Well, the same firm, Fleishman-Hillard International Communications asked me if I’d like some new Pretzel M&M’s samples. Uh yes, please! And this time, I didn’t eat them [...]

Children of the corn

September 7, 2010

For reasons unknown to me, the hotel in Whitby was surrounded on three sides by fields of corn. This created a excellent location for a photo shoot with our 3D glasses on, of course. We got home this afternoon safe and sound and the kitties were at the top of the stairs to greet us. [...]

Grandma’s 90th Birthday Bash – Day 1

September 3, 2010

We hung out with this little munchkin, Allison, after she met us at the airport this afternoon with her mom (my cousin) and my Uncle Bill. We had a ruckus evening with laughs and fun and lots of meatballs. There are about 20 of us in total here for this reunion and the fun starts [...]

This is how we do it!

August 14, 2010

I could not believe my eyes yesterday afternoon when I got home to find Grandma’s cookbook in the mailbox. We just ordered it late last Sunday night. Here they are in all their printed glory! Tada! It’s totally profesh! We ordered the hardcover book with the dust flap on the shiny paper. Very, very nice. [...]

Rain picnic*

August 10, 2010

This past Saturday afternoon I packed up some goodies and jam and headed out to meet Denise and Cynthia at Minnekhada Park in Coquitlam – we decided to meet in the middle this time (between Mission and Burnaby) and that was my bright idea. I showed up in clogs holding this plate of treats wrapped [...]

The guest quarters

June 24, 2010

In the last nearly 12 years, Mike and I have gone through 2 couches. I’m not sure why we can’t make a couch last. I think my mom and dad had the same couch for over 30 years. Remember our most recent couch casualty? Our futon mattress pushed up against the wall? Today is new [...]

Sushifest 2010

May 26, 2010

UPDATE: The name of the restaurant is Tomokazu. YUM. Last night we were out very, very late. Very late having late-night-all-you-can-eat sushi dinner. Malcolm invited us out and we didn’t get home last night until 11:15! On a school night! And I was so stuffed last night, I passed out from excessive sushi syndrome. Yup. [...]

Here we are. Not having fun.

May 16, 2010

We hung out at the beach yesterday for a bit and then headed up to Burnaby Mountain for a view of the city. Clearly, we aren’t enjoying ourselves. We have also watched a whack of movies last night, including Avatar. Today we’re off to Granville Island! And we’ll ride the Aquabus! And then tomorrow we’re [...]
