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 […]
Santa’s Anonymous
by Bertha on 08. Dec, 2007 in Canada 2006
Charlene and I went to the Santa’s Anonymous drop in Gift wrapping campaign today and found out that they are so far ahead this year that they didn’t need anyone this weekend. It’s great to hear that they had enough people to help out considering what a struggle it is for most non-profits. But we’re […]
Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign
by Bertha on 05. Dec, 2007 in Canada 2006
I started volunteering tonight for the Sally Ann’s Kettle campaign. You recognize the people, they’ve got vests and jingle some bells when you donate money to the kettle. Sometimes candy canes, stickers and calendars are handed out when you donate. I saw in the Edmonton Journal Engage section about all the different things you can […]
Annual Winter Potluck
by Bertha on 02. Dec, 2007 in Canada 2006
It’s funny that I call it the annual winter potluck because I didn’t have it for 2 years… Last year was a Chocoholic buffet, the year before I was in Melbourne. But this one was pretty small but good. 7 of us showed up, ate well and played board games. I made my very first […]
Addicted to Facebook?
by Bertha on 27. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
I seem to spend a lot of time after work checking out everything on Facebook. This social networking site sends me emails about the things that people have done thereby compelling me to log in and snoop at what everyone’s doing. I upload pictures and get to see and trade pictures with others. The best […]
Coming out of Hibernating
by Bertha on 23. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006
For the past month or so I’ve not done anything but work late, go home, eat dinner and watch tv before bed. I’ve worked as late as 7.30pm. I think I was in a bit of a funk. Never Fear! Busy B is coming back! First, I’m going with Winnie to the gym once a […]
Gingerbread House
by Bertha on 19. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006
I am making plans early for the gingerbread house thingy since there are already plans made for Christmas. I have to try and think of something way cooler than just a regular house or skyscraper. I remember last year Angela made a stable with a horse….
Birthday Party Plans
by Bertha on 17. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006, Travel
I’m wondering if anyone would come this year. It’s been a quiet year in terms of my university friends getting together. I haven’t planned many events and am wondering if anyone will come now that a long time has past…
Remembrance Day Classic/Night out at the Ranch
by Bertha on 12. Nov, 2007 in Canada 2006
Today was one of the most beautiful days to have the Remembrance Day classic ball hockey game. The weather was sunny and warm. Doug showed up to play goal. We had a decent showing. Had Penner jersey his friend, Charlene ran her ear into Dave’s elbow, and I think Doug pulled a muscle during a […]
