Mike: Okay, Dave…I pulled some strings, called in some favours, made a deal and got you an invitation to the Shaw End of the Year party.

Dave: WOOHOO! This is AWESOME! I cannot wait to go!

Mike: Did you know that there will be about 3200 people there?

Dave: Incredible. And the doorprizes?

Mike: There will be doorprizes. Electronics, Canucks tickets, TVs…they do it up right. Oh…and centerpieces! They’ll give away the centrepieces to one lucky person at each table.

Dave: I hope I win the centerpiece! WEWT!

Mike: Here is your name tag. You’ve got to wear it all the time.

Dave: No problem. Woohoo! Party time! I’m going to order a Shirley Temple! Yah!

Handmade from Nova Scotia

November 27, 2010

On Thursday night when I got home from work, two tall, thin boxes awaited me at the front door. This prompted me to text Mike a “what the heck did you order?” message. I brought the two boxes in the house but left them unopened – Mike LOVES to open packages, plus, they had his [...]

Who knew?

September 30, 2010

Tonight I went to a party celebrating the recent Boreal Forest Agreement. I was invited by a non-profit organization called Canopy Planet – they promote the use of recycled paper in business.

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 [...]
