New Post
Things that have happened since last Wednesday:
- got older
- celebrated a birthday
- ate at Glowbal
- got my Gucci Envy Me perfume that I have been wanting since September
- got a pink toque to match the colours on my snowboard
- had my new purse from Fri temporarily appropriated by my sister-in-law
- drove to Whistler with overly-anxious backseat drivers
- drank a lot of alcohol without hangover
- sat in a hot tub with seven other drunk girls
- was told "it's Whistler" every time there was a problem in pricing/service
- gained back the 2 lbs I lost last week
- almost passed out at the gym due to overzealous elliptical training
- lost 0.4 lbs
Whistler pictures will be up eventually. That is, when I get around to it.

It's always in the last place you look
Yeah, so... looking for my digital camera's USB cord and battery charger... could not find it for, seriously, at least a week. In that time I've had to think hard about where it could possibly be - must have been put away in the mad rush to clean the house before Christmas/New Years. So I looked through all the spare rooms and crawl spaces and under beds and in cupboards... nothing...
...but I did manage to find my MEC messenger bag (ha!), countless boxes of pictures I have yet to sort out, the Christmas tree-topper we forgot to use, plus three pairs of sandals I had previously thought had gone missing (including the purple ones with all the beads that I was quite rageful about losing in the first place).
I was about to trash yet another box of Christmas ornaments (where does she get all this stuff?) when my eyes fell on a box behind the living room couch... instinctively I opened it and voilà... there be my USB cord and battery charger. Now I can rest in peace knowing that they are safely tucked in the bottom drawer of my desk along with the rest of my techno-paraphernelia.
In other news, I finally received my snowboard yesterday! Mmm, pretty. Attached the bindings and everything. Just needs a wax and then I can take it for a spin. Yay!
And Fri's going to be landing in about 12 hours!! Woo-hoo!!

I ain't naming my kid Lava... or Match, for that matter...
These folks named their baby after the internet service that hooked them up. Lucian Yahoo. Could be worse, could be named after where the baby was conceived... (e.g. Brooklyn Beckham? Hellooooo!)

Overheard at Coast Mountain Sports recently:
Background: I was looking at gloves and toques on sale, there were a bunch of bins and racks full of stuff on sale, but for the life of me I couldn't find any snowboarding gloves that I found suitable, so I settled for eavesdropping on other shoppers:
Outraged Mom: "Oh my god, this is so offensive!"
Uninformed Daughter: "What?"
OM: "These gloves have a roach clip! That's so offensive! Who would sell such a thing?"
UD: "Huh?"
OM: "A roach clip! Attached to the glove!"
UD: "Uh... what's a roach clip?"
OM: "It's what you attach to the end of a marijuana joint when it's too short to finish smoking."
UD: "Ah. Okay." (Continues pawing through bin of gloves)
OM: "This is so offensive."
... and there I was, wondering if I should disturb the shit, as it were, and ask her to let me have a look at the gloves and make like I was going to buy them. Hee hee hee hee hee. I'm not sure what's funnier, the fact that the MOM had to school the teenage daughter on what a roach clip was, or the fact that certain glove manufacturers have found a niche market in dope-smoking snowboarders that they have to add a roach clip to their gloves to give added incentive for people to buy them.
