Give Me Back My Five Bucks

This month I have worked out for 16 days so far. Meaning, I haven’t missed a single day, except for the 5 days I was away on vacation. I’ve only lost about 1 pound, but I feel a lot stronger. And I’d like to be more active outside, but BF is on course this week with lots of homework, so the Shred DVD & my Wii will work for now. But this weekend I’d really like to get out skiing, or snow shoeing, or even for a little hike. As well as get to the climbing gym. Anyway, today was … Continue reading →

Here is the much-anticipated review of Vibram Five Fingers that I’ve promised you. I wanted to wait until there was better weather, so I could do a more thorough test, but winter came up so fast. Also, I unfortunately was not able to secure a give-away pair, which was also one of the reasons for my delay in writing this review! My review will be on the Vibram Five Fingers Sprint model.

So I was contacted to volunteer again at the Olympics. This time up in Whistler. I would basically be driving the media around. And in exchange for my time, I would get free accommodation and meals in Whistler.

They asked if they could put me on a reserve list for the Olympics and Special Olympics, and I said I would love that, but would only … Continue reading →

Okay, so most of you know I’m pretty much obsessed with mascara. It’s really the only make-up I wear, aside from a touch of press powder to control shine. I’ve tried dozens of different types over the years. From cheap to expensive; natural to over-the-top … in the quest to find The Perfect Mascara. So far, the closest to come is L’oreal’s Voluminous (waterproof). And even then, it has its problems. It can get super clumpy and never lasts for more than a month. At least for me. And I’m not a super heavy mascara user either. But I do … Continue reading →

So, as you know I’ve had some cell phone drama over the past week. And for the past few days I’ve been talking with someone from “The Office of the President of Rogers Wireless.” This all started with this post. I was complaining how I was removed from my current (killer) rate plan, and told I could not get the iPhone or a rate plan at new customer pricing. Which made me angry. @RogersMary read my post, and forwarded my concern onto the appropriate people at Rogers. After a few e-mails, I finally got a phone call. I explained my … Continue reading →
