Because Eventually I Have To Die, Maybe
The Big Announcement
Alright, so I have been holding onto this stellar announcement for a few days now, mostly because my mother is going to cast her disapproving eye down on me and I wanted to be out of the city for that, but also because I wanted to feel better and be somewhat coherent. Holy deja-vu. That was weird. I guess I care too much about what my mother thinks about too many things. Good on one hand since my mother had impeccable judgment, bad on the other since she’s wholly against the concept of having fun (unless you count fun as giving yourself a heart attack laughing at weird medical jokes…then she’s ALL over it).
Anyways. Onto the big news! I am going to Ontario! April 5-7th. Okay, crazy I know. On so many levels. At the moment, reading this over, I am thinking “what is wrong with you! You’re insane!!!!”, but what is this blog/list but not an adventure to become out-of-my-mind-Hunter-S.-Thompson-crazy. Maybe scale it back a little from that, though having a bender like Mr. Thompson did in Fear and Loathing seems like a mighty fine idea as I stare down the two term papers I have coming up.
I am rambling today. Here is the story: I have friends, Cal and J, who live out in Guelph.
They moved there from Airdrie this past year, and I enjoy their company quite a lot. We talk quite a bit online, and they asked if I would come visit them in April after they move into what I from here on in will refer to as “their mansion”. Well, normally I do not take weekend trips across the country (normally I don’t take trips), fly by myself, or accept extravagent gifts from people, but I haven’t seen them in quite some time (okay, a very long time) and it’s a wicked trip out East, back to my water and my homeland! I’m very very very excited.
So there. I have a crazy weekend trip across the country planned. I will take solice in the fact Sarah recently took essentially the same trip and had a good time. This will also fulfill #316 on my list which is to fly somewhere on my own. I think a hefty dose of Valium will be in order.
Off to class!

Forgive my ridiculous lack of posting. There is not excuse for laziness…pure, consuming, indulgent laziness. I did make it out to Kelowna for a rather short, but incredibly relaxing trip. Adam and I just hung out and took in the beautiful surroundings. I did get to see the Spotted Lake near Osoyoos, which was pretty

Irma is possibly the best photo subject in the world. This is from our travels to NYC, the Central Library in particular. Upon finding she was actually a donor to the Library she got over excited and panned for the camera.
Canadian Travel = Less Credibility

Does going to Kelowna even count as a vacation when you live in Calgary? I’m serious. I read all these blogs about people going everywhere and anywhere, staying months in exotic locals, eating interesting food, meeting people from all over. Me? I’m going to Kelowna. I’m trying really hard not to complain, Kelowna is beautiful,
Halifax

The trip to Halifax was interesting. It wasn’t my choice to go out there, more of a last minute decision to accompany my boyfriend to see his extended family. The trip was very nice, not just for the sights but for having been able to meet his amazing and generous family. We stayed in an

Chelsea: Did you already register or whatever how many bags we are checking? Adam: No it didn’t ask. Chelsea: Oh, can you check a bag for me maybe? I would like to bring an extra one to bring our shopping home. Adam: Yeah we can do it at the counter. And we have priority status

I have to fly in less than two weeks. I am a sad bear. Flying is the worst mode of transportation ever, other than maybe tying chickens into a convoy and riding them. This is a view from my flight to Vancouver over the Rockies.
NYC In Three Days – Day One + Travel

There is really no other way to describe my trip to NYC except as a whirlwind of adventure and maybe a little misadventure. First things first: the city prevented me from seeing Bon Jovi. Cool points lost = 29 Aside from obvious sadness over the loss of seeing “The Jovi” (though I have to admit

Review – Sauble Beach
about 3 years ago - No comments
On one of the weekends I was in Guelph my host suggested we head up to Sauble Beach. I had no previous knowledge of this beach, but was quickly informed that it was one of the top five beaches in Canada and the top beach in Ontario. I had been itching to go to a
Heading Back to Home Base

Well, it is time to head back home to Calgary. My flight leaves this afternoon, I’m flying with Air Canada instead of my favourite Westjet. The only reason for this is because Air Canada flies out of Kingston, saving me a train ride and cab fare into Toronto. I’m happy to be heading home today,
