I love water. Seeing as how I grew up on Vancouver Island, I developed a huge love for the ocean and childhood summers were spent with my Grandparents at the Lake.

When I thought of that title, I had this pop into my head.
Up until May 12th, I had never been to Vegas. Never really had an inclination to go. I had heard it was a smoky, overbearingly hot, gambling, partying, freaky time in a giant city that never slept.
My Cousin announced her engagement…
It is almost 10am, I’ve been up since 7:45am but spent most of my morning gabbing on the phone with my best buddy Tim. So now that it’s later in the morning, my mind is reeling on what exactly I need to pack for my first road trip with Mason.
The details:
Day 1 - Leaving Monday after work …
Way back in 1998 when I was working at Staples, I met my co-worker Tim. Tim and I got talking and Tim is convinced that we had met before on the Internets. Okay, before the real Internet. On a BBS where we didn't use real names. That was 1996. So depending on who you talk to, we've known each o…

So I searched on every frickin' travel site f…
My awesome parents bought a brand new Maytag Bravos washer dryer set and didn't know what to do with their 3 year old Kenmore set (front loading too!) and so they gave it to us! Our current 1980's sexy stacker washer dryer was working just fine but we really want to upgrade the appliances in our hom…
As soon as I heard the Olympics were coming to Vancouver, I announced that I would not be in town for the celebrations. Too much chaos that I did not want to be part of. Don't get me wrong, I am very pro Canada and want to support our athletes as much as anyone. I just feel that the money would h…
