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) […]
Getaway Retreat
by Bertha on 02. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
The Great Gathering Getaway Retreat for a whole weekend of scrapbooking might be a bit much for me but since it’s being held at the Village Creek Country Inn I’m sure I can squeeze in a massage or facial or something somewhere for a break from the scrapbooking.
Canadian Finals Rodeo
by Bertha on 02. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
The Canadian Finals Rodeo is this weekend and unfortunately I booked myself into a scrapbooking retreat for the same weekend. I’ve never been to the finals but they are selling tickets for $10.00 so had I not been prebooked, I would be going. It’s cheaper than a movie! If you find the finals boring, you […]
Happy Halloween!
by Bertha on 31. Oct, 2006 in Canada 2006
The ragtag workers who dressed up for halloween. This evening I hope to make it to Beau and Jana’s annual Haunted House to have a squizz! Edit: Beau and Jana’s haunted house was pretty impressive again this year. I came late so I missed some of the most impressive new improvements because the actors/deadbodies were […]
Good Weekend
by Bertha on 30. Oct, 2006 in Canada 2006
Woke up this morning Saturday morning to a gorgeous view of a blanket of white snow covering the dry pond in the backyard. The temperature was still close to zero so walking around outside was very appealing to me. I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t seen snow in 2 years but there’s something […]
Visiting at Work
by Bertha on 27. Oct, 2006 in Canada 2006
Leah, a former coworker, came by yesterday with the cutest, newest edition to her family. She’s actually selling the little ones (6 of ’em) for 400.00 if anyone is interested. They are a Bichon/Shizu cross so they are nonshedding and hypo-allergenic.
Little Miss Sunshine
by Bertha on 26. Oct, 2006 in Canada 2006
Watched this movie with Adam last night at the Garneau(local indy theatre) and I have to recommend it for everyone! It was hilarious!! Many people in the audience laughed so hard and loud that it made me laugh harder than normal.Little Miss Sunshine has a lot of bigger stars in it too, Greg Kinnear(from As […]
