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 […]
OK, now it’s a bit much!

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 […]
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 […]
