Winter is evil to me!

A few years ago, I slipped on the ice in the winter time and broke my wrist. Well, it's happened again!
I was snow shovelling on Thursday Jan 1. I slipped on some ice and the shovel hit me in the ribs. I was thinking when this happened I was glad to have the shovel because I didn't fall on my butt this time!

Well by Friday night I was in a lot of pain, and had a hard time sleeping. So Saturday morning, Randy (hubby) took me to the hospital and I saw the doctor. He's decided that I have a fractured rib (98% sure) or it could be a really bad bruise. Doesn 't really matter as the treatment is the same, rest and pain meds. So I get to look forward to 4 - 6 weeks of pain. YAY, I love winter, not!

I've finally figured it out, maybe

So it's January 1, 2009. I think I've figured out the great toilet paper debate!

It's also the slow time of year for real estate, so perhaps, I have too much time on my hands too!

Now for that answer to the burning question of all time, over or under for the toilet paper roll!
If you are left handed, the toilet paper dispenses better when the roll is placed with the paper coming out from under! If you are right handed it works better the "over" method.

What do you think???

Car Zen

So one of my favorite blogs, Ed Kohler, The Deets had a website link in today's posting. It's called Car Zen. So I thought I would try it.

Well, I did. I answered honestly. It came up with an 86% recommendation for the Honda Accord EX-L. That's what I bought a couple of months ago! I guess I bought the right car eh!!!

Try out this website and see what recommendations you get!

It's cold!

I may have mentioned in the past that I dislike winter. Well I do!! At the moment it's -34 degrees C. I don't know that that is in F. All I can tell you it's cold!!!!!!

We actually don't have that much snow, not like some places. I can't believe Vancouver Island got as much snow as it did. They just aren't used to that! Here we just trudge on, but then, as I've been told it's a different snow. That's true, I remember living in Vancouver, I didn't go anywhere when it snowed. But that used to be only a day or two, not like this year!!!

Candace and I went to Trevor Linden night this week. What a great ceremony. The Canucks did a great job saluting him. I got "misty" of course!! It was a real honour to be there, I'm so glad I went, it was neat to see his banner being raised in GM Place. The game wasn't so bad either!

Snow and cold!

Well winter is here! It's minus 25 celcius here. Plus we have about 6 inches of snow on the ground. Most people in Princeton don 't go anywhere unless they have to when it's this cold. Snow doesn't bother anyone, we just carry on. But then we're used to it.

It seems like I've managed to pick up a slight sore throat, but I better get better soon, because Wednesday Dec 17 I'm going to the Vancouver Canucks game! It's Trevor Linden night, they are retiring his jersey with a ceremony an hour before the game, I'm sure I'll be quite emotional, he's been my favorite player for years. I could go on but I won't. One of my favorite moments was the 1994 cup run, I can still picture that last game after they lost. Wow, it still brings a lump to my throat, or is that because it's sore????!!!!

Family and Visitors

So we have a full house this weekend. Well, it's just not our house, it's our friends house as well!
Candace (my daughter) came home from school for the weekend, which she's been doing regularly, her mother appreciates that! Plus Nick, (my son) invited some of his friends from Chilliwack to come visit up here this weekend. I have to admit, I love it! Our friends, their son is one of the visitors, have become pretty much family to us. We were there last night and it was so great to see all our kids having so much fun together. We were all laughing and eating, it was awesome. The kids ended up playing "rock band" and they were taking turns singing with it! It just put such a smile on my mommy face! So while the kids were busy, the parents did karaoke! I haven't sung like that for a while, it was great.
I love having 'family' visit!

More stuff

Been away again! I went to Las Vegas at the end of October. I had an awesome time again! We went to the top fuel drag races while we were there. It was fantastic, I've never been before, and it's something I recommend everyone do at least once.

Yesterday, I was at a course put on by the Real Estate Board in our area. It was about contracts and all the recent changes in a real estate contract. I learned some more valuable information. Somethings I already knew, but all in all it was a good reminder. It never hurts to learn more.

After the course, there was a Broker's meeting. Looks like the more things change the more they stay the same. Again, interesting stuff. Looks like there will be some wording changes on they way we conduct our business, watch for it!
