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 […]
Career Fair
by Bertha on 19. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
Adam and I checked out the Canada Career Week Fair on Saturday and listened to a Q&A called “Ask Me What It’s Like to be A … FireFighter”. It was a really good talk with some pretty good questions asked about firefighting in Edmonton. We even got to speak to him one on one after […]
Canadian Finals Rodeo Pics

(Doesn’t Ange look great in the cowgirl hat?!) Friday I went to the CFR with Angela and Adam. I don’t know why it took me so long to go but it’s pretty cool to see these cowboys ride. There was this team roping event that I’d never heard of where one rider ropes a calf […]
Getting punk’d and other work related stuff
by Bertha on 10. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
Imagine my surprise when I walk out of the office at lunch to go buy something when I find my windshield wipers sticking up with paper strips hanging all over them. Leftover paper bits all over the car. I was punk’d! Not a big deal but Ohn was definately laughing pretty hard. Brent made mention […]
Freezing Rain
by Bertha on 07. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006, Pictures
Last night we had freezing rain so this morning I spent a good 10 minutes scraping it off the car thereby being late for work. On the plus side, the temperature is nice and warm and today seems like a great day to be outside because it is hovering around 0C.
21 Pages Done!!
by Bertha on 06. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
oh yes, my most productive getaway ever! Last time I think I only did about 5 pages while everyone else had at least 10! Didn’t get a massage or facial (I don’t even know what’s involved in a facial but sounded cool) and on the first night Ray and I were the first to head […]
Operation Christmas Child
by Bertha on 03. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
Every year for the past 5 or so years (except for last year) I’ve been creating shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. National Collection week for Canada is Nov. 13-18! For those who don’t know, anyone can pack a present to be delivered to a needy child overseas. You pick up shoeboxes(or use your own shoebox) […]
