I made plans with about 7 old co-workers to get together for dinner this coming Wednesday. It’ll be good because some of them I’ve not seen in ages. It’s not like me to usually keep in touch with my former co-workers. I don’t know why but every other job I’ve had, I’ve not gotten that […]

Winter Weather Full Force
by Bertha on 28. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
Yesterday was crazy cold! Just like it was in the good old days when I was little. -30C with wicked winds that make it feel like -43C and exposed skin freezes in under 5 seconds. Yup! This is what I woke up to yesterday and it will be like that all week according to the […]
The Week the Women Went
by Bertha on 27. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
There is a new Canadian Reality television program called The Week the Women Went that is airing on Monday nights on CBC. The show is about how the men will cope with the women of the town leaving for a week. The reason I’m so interested is because the experiement takes place in Hardisty, AB, […]
Happy Belated Birthday
by Bertha on 22. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
Happy Birthday to a couple of little cuties that I’ve yet to meet. Kayla Wong, born earlier this month and Aurora Chan also born earlier this month. The family just keeps getting bigger. So, the question is: If they are my cousin’s children, does that make me a Cousin once removed or a second cousin?
Roomba works wonders
by Bertha on 17. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
A little while back my dad bought an iRobot Roomba. This little thingy is a self propelled vacuum cleaner. I’ve used it a number of times and it’s pretty cool. The battery lasts about an hour. It has a bumper in the front and an infared sensor. It also senses itself tipping so it won’t […]
DanceMoves
by Bertha on 15. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
So the past couple of weeks were busy with the start of my DanceMoves class (2x/wk) and a couple of Stampin’ Up thingys. I think I like DanceMoves so far although I didn’t realize how unco-ordinated I was! I can not get my upper body to coordinate with my lower body. It’s quite funny to […]
Oil Kings
by Bertha on 03. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006, Travel
Last night Charlene and I went to see the Oil Kings in action. They are the Junior team that plays at Rexall and their tickets are pretty cheap (although Northlands still charges you 10.00 to park!). We sat in row 5 for $30.00. I was surprised by how young these guys are. 16 year olds! […]
Happy New Year
by Bertha on 03. Jan, 2008 in Canada 2006
And I hope you had a nice time ringing in the new year. It was supposed to be the best display of fireworks ever for Etown but at our party in RATT it was still the same to me. Maybe it was because other buildings obscured the some of the view but I was glad […]
Happy Christmas 07
by Bertha on 25. Dec, 2007 in Canada 2006
Wow, it’s been awhile since I wrote on here! It was a busy week. The cat’s away so of course the mice are playing. Worked really hard the last days leading up to Christmas break here. Mainly damage control/maintaining the ship until the leaders are back again. Didn’t do much in the way of taking […]
Santa’s Anonymous Deliveries
by Bertha on 15. Dec, 2007 in Canada 2006
This morning Charlene and I delivered presents for Santa’s Anonymous. We got there an hour after opening and there was still a huge lineup of volunteers outside and around the building! We managed to get good parking located in the actual parking lot and stood in the long line. Although the line was long it […]
