No Snow!

Ok. It's January 24, 2007 and there is no snow.. It's +11 degrees outside! I'm a big fan of nice weather, don't get me wrong, but I think this is an effect of global warming. We haven't had cold weather in Calgary since November. Well not usual -30 cold anyway. Maybe it's just a mild winter... but after seeing 'An Inconvenient Truth' I highly doubt it. I've become so conscious of places that recycle, and to my surprise there is still alot of places that don't! Apparently, I've been told that the airport in Toronto doesn't recycle! What a waste. With the number of aircraft that go into that airport! Not only that, but they have the highest fees in North America! Nice to know they put it to good use.
On a postive note though, I think we can all contribute to a better environment. I am going to try my best, and do some more research. Maybe ask some questions and get the ball rolling.

Edmonton Chuckles

Some things just make me laugh. I am in Edmonton today and I went to SuperStore to buy some lip balm. (It's cold and dry here and my lips are starting to feel like sandpaper.) After extensive searching, I asked an employee if she could help me locate it, but I couldn't hear what she was saying because her co-worker was yelling something about her back pain being so bad after setting up 8 pallets of stock. I asked again, and much to my dismay all I heard was "I can't be lifting like this all day." I figured my best bet was to continue my search, but prior to doing so I yelled out, "Get some Robaxecet; aisle 4."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to get help these days, but I figured may as well laugh it off and put a smile on my face.

Decisions, decisions

Bad blogger! LOL. It's been a while since I've written. My appologies to anyone who may be reading. I've been making some important life decisions, and I've been inspired by alot of things in my life lately. Great books, good people, and just the pull of the universe itself. I've taken some time to look at my life and the direction inwhich it is headed. I've decided to make some changes, starting off with personal confidence. I'm going to go back to school, and after several years of long study, become a dentist! (If anyone wishes to donate funds for school, it would be much appreciated!) LOL. I'm currently looking at the cost of such an endeavour. But, no matter how much debt I incur, it will be worth it to have the support of family and friends, and to one day live my dream! I encourage all to question why you can't do something, and really listen to your answers. Are they valid? Would you allow a close friend to use this excuse? Be good to yourself, and nurture your own soul!

Restless in Halifax

Well, here I am in Halifax. I was supposed to meet some of my crew for a workout, but opted to stay at the hotel for a little R&R. I haven't been sleeping very well lately, so I am trying to get my sleep in whenever I can. It's so nice to be back here... even if it is only for 12 hours. I didn't call any of my friends here; I figured they were busy with Thanksgiving rituals of their own. Am looking at going back to school. I have to investigate the potential for this when I get back to Calgary. Well off to listen to Debbie Ford's Audio Series. I'm really enjoying it so far. A bientot!

What You Tell Yourself

It's amazing what you tell yourself sometimes. I am in Ottawa and was supposed to meet a guy this evening. We had been chatting online for a while now and figured it was time to meet. Needless to say, things never pan out the way you plan them. Not that I had too much of an expectation from meeting someone 'online'. Sometimes I think if I stick to my social life for dating, I'd be incessantly single! I'm not a bar person, and actually enjoy my quiet evenings at home. Problem is, if I indulge in this ritual, I'll never meet anyone!
I try to be proactive when things like this happen. I try to look at it as 'me not being in the right place at the right time', or 'it just wasn't willed to happen'. I'm always left to believe that maybe my time would be better spent in helping someone else out. I just don't know how to effectively do that.
Well seeing as my life revolves around sleep, I'd better get some! LOL. Time to get unconscious!

My First Blog

Wow! Ok, so I'm afraid my first blog will have to be a short one, as I've decided very last minute to sign up here. It's almost 3:30am! I awoke from a strange dream of Stacy London and Clinton Kelly helping me pick out clothing. Stacy kept pushing me into clothing racks and Clinton was handing me boxes of underwear, winking at me each time he handed them over. I awoke to me dropping all the boxes and feeling all flustered. This by the way is my second dream involving the dynamic duo. I don't know what this means! Is this supposed to mean something? Or should I pass if off as junk mail? I do think Clinton is kinda cute. I can't analyze this now. Off to bed I go... perhaps a meditation will clear my mind. xoG
