Shifting into a different mode
Now that I’m starting to look for work, I wonder if this will be me??
The hunt for work and non-GMO food
It’s been interesting shopping here in Calgary, discovering the price differences between food back in Ontario vs in Alberta. I’m discovering that the local Community Natural Health Food store has really comparable (and sometimes cheaper) prices for their organic food, compared to that of the normal produce, say at Safeway (god forbid that I should…
Ed Selders: the fashion icon (David Beckham thinks so!)
Well Ed, it looks like you and David Beckham have more in common than your love of Spain! Did you lend your sweater out to him so that he could make a copy of it, to wear in Italy when he attended the Tom Cruise / Katie Holmes (ie TomKat) wedding {when this photo was…
An Untimely Demise
After finishing my morning yoga stretch class at the Talisman, I decided to make a quick beeline to the library before heading home. Prior to coming across the moving image (literally) of a man harnessed to a lone evergreen, I could smell the sweet tangible scent of pine oil, thick and heady (a wood chipper…
Invigorated and renewed
It was a casual and cloudy drive back to Calgary. Thankfully uneventful, apart from our little detour into Banff. With time on our hands, we decided that this was as good a time as any to explore the world-renown Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. This gorgeous old historic mountain retreat sits on the edge of the…
3 for 3 in 2006
I wonder if I should call this entry ‘Hot-tubbing Across Canada’ or rather ‘Hot-springing across Canada’ 🙂 ! What a delight today has been …. Our third hot-spring-ing session in 3 weeks here at Radium Hot Springs. Wow, wow, wow. The day started out luxuriously sleeping in and enjoying another day of R&R. We ate…
Trying to fit it all in
It’s been a great week … SlaDE~ spent the week back at work, wanting to take advantage of his daily travel supplement. He did however take a 1/2 day off to go see my Homeopathic Doctor …. Prolotherapy was on the menu, in the hopes to perhaps help his 18 year old knee injury. It…
Boxers Unscathed
I had the ole dukes out and polished up especially for today. 🙂 Boxing Day: Canada’s most popular shopping day of the year. Can you say 1/2 price?! I was quite surprised and delighted by slaDE~s enthusiasm to venture out with me (the first time I’ve been shopping on the 26th in many many years,…
In the Spirit of Christmas
Okay this is way too funny …. SNL wins my vote this Christmas 🙂 Beware, quite racy!
A day in Banff: Our White Christmas!
It had been a long time since my last visit to this small but touristy mountain village, and returning felt like a brand new experience. With my step-sister Lindsey having taken on a sales role with Discover Banff Tours (http://www.banfftours.com) a year ago, we were granted an extra special more-personalized tour of the Johnston Canyon…
