Bonjour all my friends and family, and greetings from the West of Canada.
I will write a totally, awesome, picture-filled post once I can figure out where my camera cord is, but for the meantime here is my tagalicious blog.
What was I doing 10 years ago? I was 11. That means I was in between gr.’s 5 and 6 (approximately?) and that is the summer my family took a trip out East. We drove to PEI and back with our camper, visiting fun and exciting things along the way like my mom’s cousins in Maine, the Bay of Fundy and Anne of Green Gable’s house. It was the first time I broke my baby toe (tripped over a rug while packing up the camper) and my second ever bee sting (right smack dab on my broken baby toe while running to the bathrooms in a campground in New Brunswick). That summer I got a new backpack, which I absolutely adored. It was navy and white striped, canvas material and had anchors on it. Erica got a hat that summer that was, sorry Eri, pretty ugly and it costed her $26.50 and we all made fun of her for days but she loved it and wore it forever.
What five things that were on my “to-do” list for today.
1) Spy for lynx’s and cougars outside my bedroom window (Tim and I were staying in Panorama, B.C. and saw one right outside our bedroom window the morning before) which was done periodically between 6.45am and 8.45am.
2) Clean the condo and check out. And not forget anything there. I always forget at least one thing.
3) Drive back to Calgary and watch for wildlife on the way (we saw two bears, many deer and a moose on the way back.)
4) Pick up Tim’s dry-cleaning with him in town.
5) Hang out with my family in Elbow Valley. We played Cadoo with cousin Ethan, and BrainAge with Aunt Lisa, Uncle Jez, and Ethan (I got the highest score out of everyone - 1032 which is pretty good in this house), Tim and I cooked dinner for everyone, drank wine, had good conversation, played MORE BrainAge, did dishes, called the Pub and talked to all my friends, and now I am getting ready to go to bed after a nice relaxing shower.
Snacks I enjoy? Popcorn, cookie dough, aaaanything with chocolate, dry cereal, Oreos dipped in milk, and chocolate milk and pepsi to drink.
Things I would do if I was billionaire? NEW WARDROBE! For sure. I would fly my whole family and friends to El Mango Moon in Costa Rica, then to South Africa then Australia and pay everyone to come and hang out with me so they could take time off work and just have fun and relax and be cool. Then I would pay Vera Wang to help Mom make Erica’s wedding dress and all of our bridesmaid dresses. Then I would buy me and Tim a verrry nice car, perhaps a Porsche Cayenne, or a hybrid SUV. I wouldn’t buy us each one because I like it when we go everywhere together. Then I would buy my Mom and Dad a convertible, maybe a Bentley if they wanted or a BMW. Then I would buy my all of my sisters new (or old) cars. I would donate A LOT of money to the Sexual Assault Centre where I worked this past year, so they could do some amazing things for all the women in Guelph. I would also donate money to the Gerontology Students Association at UOG so they could have an amaaazing year. I would also hire Jessica Claire to do Erica’s wedding photography. I would do a lot of other cool things, like hire the Dixie Chicks to sing at Eri’s wedding, and maybe Rascall Flatts and ACDC for the Stag and Doe. Okay, apparently I would throw Erica the hugest, most amazing wedding ever that even Prince Harry would want to come to. Lauren - he can be your date!
Places I have lived. Thorndale, Ontario; Oakville, Ontario, St. Joseph de Beauce, Quebec; Guelph, Ontario; Nakina, Ontario; Llano Bonito, Costa Rica; Calgary, Alberta.
What types of work have I done? Strawberry field worker, Marlene’s cashier and beer seller extraordinaire, front desk and pro shop worker at our golf course, Beer cart and kitchen staff at the golf course, I did banquet catering for a local caterer, a nanny for my cousins in Oakvile for a few summers, Cook at a fly-in fishing lodge for a summer, I worked at a day camp in Quebec for a bit of a summer, Server and Bartender at Le Duck, worked on the family farm “sloppin’ hogs,” and as a Public Educator at a Sexual Assault Centre in Guelph. Oh yea, I was a snowboard instructor at Cobble Hills. Probably other ones too that I forgot about already.
That is it my friends! Untill next time, keep fit and have fun!

I read a letter to the editor in the paper yesterday from David Patchell-Evans
FYI, I would rather have Monique L’huillier design MY dress. She’s my second choice after mom. Vera can do your bridesmaid dresses. Also, I would hope to have some say in what musical acts perform???
I’m tres happy to see you blog and am looking forward to your pictures!!!

MMM yes, I considered her as a possibility. However at the moment I couldn’t remember her name exactly, so I went with Vera. Monique would be just as great, and I would retain Vera for our Bridesmaid dresses.
