Though not quite as cool as a Zombie Walk. Our local 'city' is finally doing the MS Walk this year and it's about high time that I got my butt out there!

If anyone is interested in pledging this pudgy chick's promise to pound the pavement, let me know and I'll get you more info and will gladly accept you keshels for this good cause.

Colin's dad passed away early yesterday morning. Warren was a great man. He served his countries, first as a pilot in the RAF in England and then as a clerk in the Alberta Legislature, but his heart was in his art. He graced the silver screen, the small screen, and many a stage. His passion for acting blossomed into directing and into a notable ( Read more... )

I've noticed that kitchen items can breed. I was putting away silverware last night and noticed two forks and 1 spoon that do not match our pattern. I assume this spontaneous creation of new items is to compensate for the loss of one of my set's salad forks.

Last night I crashed. Big time. I was out like a light at 8pm and didn't get up until 5:30am. Usually I don't need quite that much downtime but I won't argue with my bod. And it was a good sleep too.

I brought Diesel into work with me today. He had to have a bath last night. Somehow he managed to find a mud wallow during the day and was caked in mud when I retrieved him from the shop. When I woke up for work this morning, he was still a little damp in the undercoat. Can't have a damp dog in a unheated shop all day so he's currently guarding ( Read more... )

Holy bat, Crapman! The roads are terrible this morning out in the sticks. I left home 15 minutes early in anticipation or poor road conditions and arrived at work 15 minutes after I normally do. That's an extra half hour of travel time. There were a few points on the drive where I was plowing snow with the Granny-mobile. Top speed was 70 km/hr ( Read more... )

When I watched the news this morning before work, we were slotted to have some snowfall this afternoon. I've been informed that it's been upgraded to a blizzard. Why is this an upgrade?
