Scrabble, anyone?

I have to thank my sister for my latest addiction. There is an application in Facebook that you can add called "Scrabulous" and my sister challenged me to a game (well, to be honest, she's been challenging me to games since we joined Facebook, but I've never entertained the idea until this weekend!)

I have three words: "So.Much.Fun!"
(yes, I'm a geek!)

Scanning, once again

I spent a couple hours last night scanning some old photos and getting to know how to use my HP scanner a little better. I've posted the pics to FLICKR as well as Facebook.
I hope you take some time to check them out.

Nostalgia

Last night I decided to search my condo high and low for pictures of my yester years... I couldn't find the 2 OLDEST photo albums (pre-1993) and I was a little freaked out! Low and behold, the last place I would look, there they were... in a BIG Rubbermaid tote in my crawlspace. (Should have known. lol)

I scanned a few of the pics (it took a good HOUR to go through HALF of the pics, and select a FEW for scanning! I have a big job ahead of me!) I've posted them to Facebook, so if you are my Facebook friend you'll probably already caught a glimpse of me in my Grade 9 GRAD dress. (HOT!) Good times.
(I'm glad I was a bit of a shutterbug as a kid, and that my parents let me spend my allowance (their hard earned money) on developing my films! Yay Mom and Dad!)

More pictures posted to Flickr soon!!!

Blogging is losing to Facebook!

Stupid Faceboook is getting way too much of my attention these days. I need to stop using it so much... I mean, really, things don't change that much on that thing anyways. I wonder why I feel the need to check it every hour!?!

Collin and I went mountain biking in the NW of Calgary this Sunday... I forgot how many Creek crossings there were on this one trail... and due to the massive amounts of rain we've been getting and the run off from the mountains the creek was flowing with FULL FORCE! We made about 15 creek crossings and hit many mud puddles! Collin enjoyed this trail, but there were quite a few people out on the trail walking (with their dogs and kids) which made the ride a little intermitent (stop, start, stop, start!) And with the amount of stopping and starting we were already doing to avoid the creek, it was a very slow ride. I think next, I'll bring Collin to Nose Hill Park or maybe COP. Something with NO WATER HAZARDS please! lol

Blogging is taking a back seat...

... to FACEBOOK! Why is Facebook so interesting to me??? (I'm sure I'm not the only addict to Facebook out there!)
I have actually been posting notes on my Facebook profile, which I kind of consider mini blog entries. (Hence my lack of entries on my actual Blog.) Sawwy... I'll try to pick up my socks and blog here from now on!

... and now for the actual entry.... :)


Collin and I have been making some effort to get out on our bikes lately. We went out twice last week, both were 15km rides. Collin was a bit sketched out on our first ride, but he was much more comfortable on his bike on our second ride. We did two different trails: Bowness Park and Fish Creek Park. I don't think I'll bring Collin back to Fish Creek again any time soon because they havent fixed any of the bridges that were washed out in the floods of 2005 yet! (Man, they have had 2 years, what's the hold up???) It was very frustrating riding there because the river travels right through most of the trails. (There used to be 11 bridges, now there is 3! Gong show!) Oh well, this is the beauty of living in Calgary, we don't live too far from great mountain biking just on the outskirts of the city. I love that! Maybe I'll take Collin to Bragg Creek this weekend... I'll have to see if he's up to that yet. (I keep forgetting, he's still a newbie!!!)

My body is starting to feel the burn... especially my quads.
Ahhhh... workout burn is back! haha
