Just in case you thought IT guys just sit at a desk all day clicking the mouse to earn their keep - I have photographic proof to prove you wrong: I was walking downtown between sites and I felt something strange on my left foot. I stopped and looked down and found the entire bottom of my shoe had detached.  That has never happened before. A shoe flat tire sort of.  I guess I will keep a spare

 Thankfully the weather warmed up, because this weekend wouldn't have been as fun if it had stayed -30!! We ate at the hotel, and right outside our window there was an ice carving competition, One Carver, One Hour, One Block. The guy we were watching cut his block in half, stacked them on top of each other and starting carving. The theme this year was a "play on words" so he was making a "C"

Yesterday Maddie had her wisdom teeth taken out. We went to Dr Goos who was awesome and sweet to Maddie. The whole clinic was awesome, she was taken into the room at 9am, given drugs to make her dream a sweet dream, and was done n about 20 minutes! All 4 teeth. No complications, just a groggy Maddie after the fact! When we got home, she slept.... had some soup, slept, had some soup, slept....

I have never seen one of these before! I was driving to pick up Maddie and this big semi was in front of me, then it started to slide sideways on the road! That's what it looked like but then on closer inspection..... it pulled a caterpillar move and slid the back half of it over to the second lane. The front part of the truck also had a shovel, so between the front and back, it was shovelling

You know those signs during Christmas time for Christmas lights service. Ever wonder how they get the Christmas lights on and off? I looked out my window today and saw a sneak peak of how they do it!

 Today I shared one of my favourite past times with Dean. He bought a new bread maker yesterday. Dean got the first loaf ready set for Sunday morning, we awoke to the smell of fresh bread baking....  I snuck downstairs to peak.... Opened the lid, and the smell of bread puffed out....  I got the bread board all ready, choose a Columbo..... .... and had a wonderful breakfast with Dean.

New Years Eve! Maddie was going to a Rave and she was cute as a button in her blue dreads and blue costume that she perfected minutes before leaving! We asked Ang to bring Looney's so we could play the game CLR that my Aunt taught us this summer, we joked about it being admission, as it turns out it was- we kicked their butts oopsy :-) Ang and Nate Me and Dean Midnight!

 Our friends Annabelle and Cliffy have a connection to one of our favorite TV shows. Cliff's son Warren is the unit production manager for The Fringe!! We have been wanting to meet him for some time, and finally we got to. Annabelle invited us for New Years Eve Brunch with Warren, wife Leesa and Daughter Ruby. Dean and I are such geeky people when it come to our TV shows, when we were in New York

I think it was December 1st.  Selena's internal clock clicked from Halloween to Christmas.  The other setting on Selena's clock is "Halloween is coming!".  She announced that she had no idea what to do about the Christmas card this year.   I looked up from Drudging in surprise.  She always has an idea for the Xmas card in July usually. This year the cupboard was bare. I grabbed the idea torch

Our car is wayyy over at the corner of the parking lot. ...and the  Mall is wayyy behind us! But it only took 10 minutes to walk, and when we leave, the highway is right there, so we won't have to circle again to get

 So the tree has been up since uhmmm September, but that was the Halloween tree, so I undecorated it and replaced the orange lights with white ones and then it sat for a bit waiting for Maddie to be home to decorate it with me. So tonight... she was home! And even though she isn't feeling great, kinda sniffly and tired she still kicks butt in the spirit department and looked cute as a button as

Lizette put on a feast, ( and I could eat forever - elastic waist lol)  One of Lizette's  friends made the cutest cake balls, there were so many yummy foods I wish I'd taken more pics of it!

The other day Maddie showed me a you tube video which blew me away!! This kid is 16, and he made a video using an SLR CAMERA!! yes a regular camera, it looks like a professional video! Not only is the quality amazing, the kid plays all the instruments himself and edited it to perfection, please watch, and be amazed as I was!! Way to go Winnipegger Sean!

We are lucky enuff to be invited to one of Dean's clients Christmas party every year. And I Do mean lucky! Firstly they put on one hell of a Christmas party, it is ALWAYS a blast, and secondly, they include spouses! They have a theme every year, and this year it was duelling painos! Great idea! And so fun! The piano players were interacting, and getting us all up on our feet, they were great!

This picture is of a car spinning on the road. That is how my morning started too! First Maddie called to say her buses were being stupid, not showing up, then being too full to take her. She ended up stranded at Northland Mall. Dean left to pick her up and bring her home. Then I left for work, within 10 minutes of being on Stoney Trail, my car started to spin, and suddenly I was turned around,

Wow, Lucky has really got his share of posts this year! Yes, he escaped this time by jumping about ten feet off the balcony and his adventure resulting in his own laundry day began. Just weeks previously Lucky had been granted full roaming rights for the whole house. From the first night we moved in to the house, Lucky has used the gate that keeps the cats downstairs as an amusing diversion.

Ok - so we have solved the problem of Lucky licking away all of his fur with the latest in cat fashion. Lucky is now a fashion icon in his cool shirt and sweater. However, now it has created another problem. Lucky now needs laundry services! Of all the things to worry about in the world, why not add Lucky's laundry day? Oh and in case your wondering when it is, it's every second Caturday! When

In between the party and Halloween set up, this was my day to rest.... how do I rest? Go see other spooky haunts!!One of our customers told me about her house that they spend all month setting up, and getting all the volunteer actors ready, so this was somewhere I had to go see.

Maddie applied at Boo which is a Halloween store that opens temporarily for the season in a vacated spot. This year it happened to be in the same location as Scrapbookers Paradise where I work. Long story short, they hired Maddie, with her pink hair and asked if she minded wearing costumes!! Haha that's funny, and since she has a wardrobe of them , she can have a different one every day!

I can barely recall the days BB (Before Blackberry). It was an exciting day in 2006 when I received my first email right in the palm of my hand. At that moment, Everything Changed. At the time, I was working all by myself struggling to run a business and in that moment I became 100x more productive. The Blackberry gave me the gift of time. I was able to instantly respond to customer requests at

Our friends Dan and Ashley are involved with CFI the Center For Inquiry. This group, among other things, brings speakers such as the world famous James Randi to town.

I blame Adam Sandler for this. In his movie, "50 First Dates" there was a character named Ten Second Tom. As his name implies, every ten seconds Tom's world would repeat as he would forget everything and start over every ten seconds. Well, Lucky seemed to exhibit this behavior bouncing from activity to activity and never seeming to concentrate on anything. So we started calling him that and the

Me and Maddie wanted to go to the Pride Parade, but we thot we were going to miss it. As it turns out, we landed in Calgary at noon, and Dean rushed us downtown.... and dropped us off at a point we had hoped would have some parade left. Turns out, he dropped off at the beginning, so we saw the whole thing!! It was a great parade this year... again.....Mayor Nenshi leads the parade this year...

Actually it's Bobcaygeon, but whenever we go East I say Toronto, that is where the plane lands! lol. So we arrived at 12:30pm Toronto time, we left home at an ungodly hour, but as soon as you land it all seems worth it! We rented our car, and headed up to Aunty and Uncles house, in Bobcaygeon. It was about a 2 hour drive, arriving at 3pm. Uncle greeted us with open arms, and made us all Caesars!

We lost our second co-worker to Texas!we had a little get together next door to the store to give Cathy her farewell gift.

It rained so much today we had a lake on Symon's valley road. The other side of the road has cement blocks along the way for construction, and I guess they must be pretty water tight, because all the rainwater that came down the hill pooled on that side of the wall. It was about 3 feet high? you can see against the truck. We pulled over to watch and when a truck passed by the water came up and we

Maybe I'll back her out?We drove up and down the back lanes, getting her used to the feel of the brake and gas. We tried to avoid the street, but we had to cross a few times.... Maddie was a little nervous,

We took off a few extra days so we could stay later this time, it was us and the Napa's.Nana had a professional photographer come to the cabin and get some family pictures taken by the water, and around the cabin. We had to go

We got our tickets to the chucks / Grand stand show, and arrived early enuff to test some of the Carny food before going to the show.

My friend Dianne was in Panoka while we were in Medicine Hat, and she sent word that she found a store that was selling off their Halloween costumes.... I was unable to go, being far from Panoka.... so she picked out a few that she thot' Maddie would like..... well..... as you will see.... she picked right!!! Perfect in fact!!!Maddie opened the box and was squealing with excitement!! The first

At midnight maddie wanted to open her presents, so as soon as that clock hit 12 she was into the wrapping.....one of her gifts, she wanted a book she could draw in as ideas hit her.... so now she can create!in the morning we went to a few stores, Value Village and ended at Cross Iron Mills.

I kind of had an interesting day today. It was like I was hanging out at the intersection of three TV shows all at once. It was kind of like a dream where you meet famous people and you have a normal conversation with them. Well, at about 11 this morning, it happened to me for real. I was fighting the Storage War (show #1) at Calgary Coin (Pawn Stars - show #2) when a certain Canadian Picker

Monday was a great day in the Storage War. Remember that gold we struck? Well, we sold it for $1000.00 - a nice birthday present.Storage Wars is a dirty, tough job but days like this make it worth it!

Normally when Maddie's birthday rolls around we have planned it for months already, but this year, she couldn't decide.... so... it was a scramble last week when she said " I want a Candyland Party" ok..... put on the thinkin caps.... and this is what we came up with :-)first you need a board game, but not just any board game, we were going to make the kids the playing pieces.....completed board

When I first started watching Storage Wars, I thought the war they were referring to was the bidders competing against one another. Maybe that's what they meant. However, the reality is as soon as you win the locker the war is not won. In fact, the war has only just begun. We have been at war with this locker for about two weeks. Sifting through the contents of the biggest locker ever, as

Today Maddie and I participated in an attempt to break a world record Zumba class. First when we arrived at the grounds, we thot we may be turned away because we didn't have cash! and the bank machine was out of order! But the organizer told said if we promised to bring cash after the gates open and use the machine inside, that they would give tickets! Very nice of her to do that!Once we had our

Not many things get me up early on a Sunday, but for years on Saturday night I would set the bread maker to make bread for 7:45 on Sunday morning. I would get up, grab a knife, a breadboard, some butter and the warm bread, go downstairs, curl up in a blanket, eat my way thru the bread, as I watched Columbo spoil someones plans for the perfect murder!I loved watching the murder unfold and the

And we actually answered it. We usually ignore any door knocks as it is usually a salesman or some other unwanted traffic. But today, the knock was legitimate. It was our neighbour who wanted to report something of his was now parked in our yard.Apparently, we had a little bit of wind tonight and this was the result. The wind picked up this gazebo and placed it in our yard. Kind of cool.

I'm not sure why the dates of the Storage auction always falls on days I'm not around :-( Today was sign up day at the store and that's where I was, watching my phone for news of the day. Then it came, Dean phoned and said "we got a locker" Again we won! I was shocked!! He said it was big, 20x20. I could imagine about the size of the garage... and I was thinking wow that's big!everyone lined up

Today the quest was to find a quilt shop.... out of town. My first choice was Cochrane, but I was having communication breakdown with my source, so second choice was Canmore. Only glitch about Canmore was that it was raining.... hard. Not the funnest day to walk around Canmore, and not great for seeing the mountains thru the clouds, so we were debating. But first things first.... I brought Katie

Today was a big adventure! We went to the Titanic exhibition at the Science center. It was pretty kewl. I still can't over the fact that these are real artifacts from teh ship. It was a great exhibit in comparison to Vegas, but.... in Vegas they left you with a grand finale feeling when you see the side of the ship's "big Piece" and here, the biggest piece was at the beginning. So the end kinda..

Spring is here when Katieface arrives and Katiepalooza begins! I arrived at the airport and patiently waited for the plane to land! And then YAY I saw Katie!! Usually we whisk her off to an adventure right away, but Dean was working, and Maddie was at Odefest, so I went alone, and brought her home.

The locker that keeps on giving. So we have been able to go thru all the boxes, and find all the treasures. We're not sure what some items are worth, like an odd old book, that seems so out of place amongst the other brand new ones. Another set of childrens books, Dickens. never again will I have to borrow locks! hotel goodies for the guest roommy favorite piece of MANY jewelsbrand new kitchen

It took a few hours to unload the locker, the last thing out were these shelving units. Then to sort and sell the rest. Dean found all the toilet paper rolls and made a mountain out of them..... final count? 156!I think it took 3 days and 2 book stores to sell all the books that would sell. There were a few cookbooks we kept, a few choice books we gave away, some actiong books Maddie took to the

Recently Maddie started watching a show called Storage Wars and she got us addicted to the show. Then Dean googled to see if there was such a thing here, and lo and behold... there was. On May 14. So.... we went, with the idea to check out what it was all about and just be part of it. We did bring some cash, just in case, but we NEVER expected to get a locker.... well.... we did. Dean won the bid

Selena has Halloween and I have Election Day. As you might guess, I was rather pleased with the results. I love Election Day but having 4 of them in the last 7 years was even getting a bit boring. Well, what's that saying "4th time's a charm"? It was great to vote in an election that changed the electoral landscape so massively. I was actually trying to find the school where the PM was going to

Lately, the three of us have gotten hooked on a few shows like Canadian Pickers, American Pickers and Storage Wars. These shows are sooooo interesting because they are all about finding treasures and artifacts from the past. So in Eureka, we went "picking" to a few antique shops in Montana. We found a few cool things.We went to one small store that has some old collectibles and some paint

I thot it would be Maddie waking me up early to go on an Easter egg hunt this morning... but it was a woodpecker... ( maybe revenge for falling in the fire ) anyway at 8AM I heard knock - knock - knock... assuming it was Maddie, but no she was peacefully slumbering on the couch where we left her. So.... I woke HER up hehehehe, but she wasn't upset when I told her I heard the Easter bunny this
