Counting the days

The countdown is on! 28 days until I go to Victoria. Kels and Laura - I can't wait to see you ladies and catch up on the past year's gossip!

For old time's sake:
Yeah, we violated that bar top.

Stress free, but not fat free weekend

Following a long and very stressful week at work I had a fabulous and stress free weekend. Friday I went to the football game and although I admit I didn't exactly understand what was going on part of the time, I still got some beer and some chocolate out of the deal. It was fun. Saturday I finally caught up on some sleep and then went to the Taste of Edmonton for lunch. The food was great! The rest of the afternoon was spent at Brian's (Brock's brother) rugby game and the exhibition grounds. Once again, I could be found stuffing my face with pizza, ice-cream, and mini-donuts. I didn't go on any rides (mostly because I was already nauseous from eating so much), but I did buy a ticket for the dream home, which I am going to win. The home was designed in my colours, so I figure that's a sign ;)

Love my job!

It’s been almost a year since I started working as Communications Officer for Alberta Ingenuity and so far no complaints. Yesterday I spent the whole morning at the Science Centre mapping out our upcoming event, Iron Science Teacher. It’s going to be fun! Picture the Iron Chef TV show, but in a lab-type setting and the audience students. Then, yesterday afternoon I spent two hours in the sun, on a patio that overlooks the river, planning another event, Science with Impact, a breakfast conference focusing on energy of the future. Okay, so maybe that doesn’t sound as exciting as Iron Science Teacher, but it will be just as glamorous, as we’re hosting it at the Arts Hotel in downtown Calgary…so nice!

Canada Day Weekend Report

Well, for fear of being drowned out, we didn't end up going rafting this weekend. However, the weekend was still big a hit! I spent the whole time in Calgary taking part in Canada Day activities at the park, catching up with my sister and a bunch of friends who I haven't seen in a long time, and shopping. Oh, and I was able to see Lindsey, Andrea, and Jen run in a race Saturday...Linds cam in 15th...way to go Snydes! Now, I begin a dreadful three day work week ;) (Trev and Amanda @ Ceili's)
