Dear Internet, clearly I suck…
I think most people have given up on my blog…. kids get summer vacation – and since I can’t take 2 months off of work I’ll just take 2 months off of my blog.
With good reason yes, I can come up with excuses all day – including my birthday, an unplanned trip to Toronto, a wedding in Salt Spring, a work trip to Kelowna, a non-work trip to Kelowna, a weekend at the cabin… the list goes on.
Rather than blabbing about all of those things I’ll just post a fun video I found on the intrawebs…
Check this house out – 20 rooms in 350 sq/ft:
Seriously though, I wish the walls in my house moved – it would be even more amazing if when you shut a wall it had built in vacuums that cleaned the ‘room’ up for you.

Well hello blog, did you miss me?
It’s been a few months and I can no longer use my Olympic or France hangovers as an excuse for not blogging…. but I’m still going to try :)
Right. So here is a quick overview of what I’ve been up to:
- Fell in love with France again
- Reffed my first Derby bout
- Had a birthday party for Brother
- Played kegball
- Ran a half marathon
- Was too lazy to run the Sun Run – so cheered instead
- Reffed my second derby bout
- Spent May long weekend up at the cabin
- Got back to riding Bob (the bike)
I did find out the hard way this weekend that no matter how good your cardio is, it doesn’t matter when you attempt to ride out to Horseshoe bay (61km round trip) and your legs haven’t been on a bike in a month…. oh those hills burned… and I swear, it was uphill BOTH ways.
Needless to say, my legs are sore and I’m back on the biking bandwagon with 2.5 weeks till the Mountain to Sound relay down in Seattle.

Hockey, hockey, hockey!
On Thursday Mike, Jess, Greg and I headed to the USA v. Norway men’s hockey game… I’m not going to lie – I secretly wished that Norway was going to win to knock the USA down in the standings but they had no chance so I resorted to cheering alongside the USA fins sitting around us.
After the game we headed out to Cactus to watch the Canada game with a large crowd of rowdies… and resorted to taking shots of Patron after Canada won in a shoot out. In hindsight, saying ‘tequila if Canada Looses or patron if Canada wins’ is not really the smartest logic and has now led to a ban on tequila shots on school-nights.
Oh Olympics, I love you.

Olympics: Day 1 – Day 4
I’ve been spending some time wandering around the city taking in the sights of the Olympics – not to mention people watching… oh boy is the people watching wonderful!
On Friday we watched the Opening Ceremonies from home (how great was KD Lang??) and then decided to venture downtown for some alcoholic beverages and in hopes that Wayne Gretzky had decided to hang out around the flame for a while to bask in his own glory. (he wasn’t there).
Needless to say we got some sweet shots of the Olympic Flame and Robson Square…
Sunday I ventured out in daylight with Samba and experienced the insanity that was Yaletown, Coal Harbour and Robson Square by day. There’s nothing like being pinned between a mob of 500 and the chain link fence that holds the crowd back from the Olympic Flame!
Yesterday Trevor arrived in town – and him and his friend showed me that I really am old and lame and that being 23 apparently gives you the energy to go out till four in the morning. I also came to the conclusion that I never want teenagers as I woke up every 15 minutes wondering if he was lost in the city and couldn’t figure out how to get home.

Getting in the Olympic spirit
More on the Olympics later – but I thought I would start off my random Olympic posts with a happy little slideshow :)
Today one of our coworkers had the privileged of running with the torch through North Vancouver and then he brought the torch into the office… where he was quickly mugged so that each and every one of us could take our photo with the torch (and perhaps secretly pretend to be Olympic athletes).
Even though I dread getting to work next week, I’m not going to lie… I’m starting to get into the Olympic Spirit!
