My parents have a time share that they’ve put into an exchange program where you can trade one week at their resort for one week at another. The weeks are now expiring so I’ve been searching on the website for places to travel so we won’t lose our weeks completely(use it or lose it policy […]

In True Canadian Style
by Bertha on 04. Dec, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures
Saturday night was about -20C for Charlene’s bonfire. Adam and I sat with Jana, John, and Charlene for about an hour outside before we wussed out. It wasn’t too cold for it but the bonfire just never got going. A small little campfire just doesn’t cut it when it’s -20!! Adam tried to throw on […]
Never run in-30C with your teeth exposed!
by Bertha on 30. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006, Travel
Make sure when you run around outside at -30C weather, either don’t smile or keep smiling until you get inside or find yourself with smarting teeth! The other night, I parked in a stall that was relatively far from a building’s doors. Since the cold snap was still happening, I started to run towards the […]
Ducks vs Oilers Hockey

Last night I got tickets to the hockey game from my dad who couldn’t go. Adam and I went and sat in pretty good seats. (last row of lower bowl) It was the first time Pronger was back in town after his request to transfer from Edmonton. The crowd was HARSH! Many people had signs […]

Winter Wonderland
by Bertha on 23. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
This isn’t fog or smog, its a snowstorm. This morning I awoke to a beautiful snowfall with large, fluffy flakes. I love fluffy falling flakes! So pretty. The only drawback to having about 5cm of snowfall so far today is that the drive to work is very slow and sometimes dangerous. My all Season tires […]
Second Job
by Bertha on 21. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
I am working at Ricki’s for the Christmas season. Discounts on clothes and learning more about sales. whee! fun. Actually, the first staff meeting I’ve been to was this past Sunday and I was quite impressed with their goals and strategies to increase sales. It was way more sales driven then I thought it would […]
Wii!!!!!!
by Bertha on 20. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
Ian now has a Wii that he pre-purchased all the way back in September. Unfortunately, he didn’t pre-purchase some of the games so he only got the 2nd of his top 4 ranked games. The rest were sold out. And, even though he pre-purchased, he still had to wait outside the store in a line […]
Golf Dome
by Bertha on 20. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
I don’t know about you but going to the driving range is pretty boring. After about 5 mintues laughing about how horribly poor my golf swing is and watching the balls go every which way (almost hitting other golfers!) you kinda get bored. At least I do. How people can practice their swing for hours […]
