So today was the day I got my ears pierced... lol... again... pierced at a 6 gauge, stretch them out to a 4 or 2... we'll see. A bit tender. I was worried the actual piercing bit would have hurt more than it did, but I didn't cry, or yelp, lol. The most painful part was when we walked outside and the cold wind blasted...

So I'm pretty much all packed up and ready to head back home to Edmonton tomorrow. It's been a blast being in BC, close to Vancouver for the past 2 months. I'm going to miss the weather, friends, the relaxed nature and the mountains. I will be back though soon.
The only casualty thus far during this trip was a small beaded bracelet and my...

So I still haven't found my keys from the Mt. Baker excursion, which makes me sad. I can replace all the keys very easily except one... My motorbike fuel key! This is the only key I had to fill my bike up with gas, which I'm thinking is going to be a pain in the ass to replace. If anyone has ideas on how to...

Tear! Yesterday was my last snowboarding adventure of the year. Went up to Mt Baker in Washington, and had a really good time. No injuries to report, the only casualty seems to be my house keys, which are currently MIA. As for the hill, was not busy at all, gorgeous weather, almost too warm because the hill was starting to get slushy near the end...

Snowboarding at Mt. Baker this weekend with some friends, should be fun. I've never been state side to snowboard but I'm finding it's cheaper than hitting the hills in Canada, which is sad for me Keep people posted on the conditions (though from the report I read, there is lots of powder and still over 3m in base).

Also might hit up the Taboo Sex...

Such a beautiful day today, 16 in the city, 18 in the lower mainland. Drove out to Burnaby to get some shopping done, then jumped on the skytrain to Van and walked around on Robson and took in the sun. Also managed some good people watching courtesy of a great Starbucks window. Home time, with a quick stop off to get the god-daughters some new...

Today, learned the valuable experience of taking little kids to the water park! lol... I'm talking instant pass out and immediate "quiet time" without fighting or complaining. Since it was Sunday, it was also really cheap since it was Sunday. After nap time, a little hide and seek and pretending to be a dinosaur and then lights out for the day! LOL! It was lots...

Post St. Paddy's day is always interesting to see how your friends are feeling, who made an ass out of themselves, and any other Shenanigans that you could have missed out on. For the record, I ended the night by playing Mario Party on the Wii as a drinking game - and since I've never played before it was a bit dangerous. No hangover though...

My rant for the day; maybe the week:
If you have a bloody car alarm, make sure you know how to turn it the f*%$ off before getting into your car at 5:30am so you don't wake up your neighbors, who might also have small children who are sleeping and you'll wake them up causing all the parents in your neighborhood to get pissed off...

I have recently been hanging out with my 2 young (ages 2 and 4) god daughters recently and I've come to learn a few things about what a parent goes through;
Every parent wishes they had an extra 2 arms or more, especially when it's time to get ready to go out. Leave yourself an extra 30 minutes to get the kids ready to go...
