My Sexy name

Check out my sexy name:

Sun Run

For the past couple of weeks a group of us at work have been talking about signing up for the annual Sun Run. Well, on Friday we did it! I walked it two years ago with some friends from work and had a blast, so I'm looking forward to doing it again this year. I suspect that the group dynamics this year will be way different. For starters, at least two of the people in the group will be running the 10K, while the rest of us walk it. A few people that aren't very well-liked at work have signed up to join us, which should make the conversation a little stilted. Oh well, Christine and I will have fun :-) I am the team captain this year, which apparently means that I'm in charge of going all the way down to the Hyatt Regency in April to pick up everyone's numbers and timing chips. Oh yeah! Maybe I can leave work early that day . . . yeah, right! Oh well, I guess on the skytrain it won't really take that long. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the walk - keep your fingers crossed that it's a nice, sunny day!

Windy Day

We had a powerful windstorm two nights ago and it really affected the lower mainland. There were many power outtages, and flash flooding in some areas. My power was out when I woke up early, early Saturday morning (my internal alarm clock seems to work fine, but it sure doesn't keep dates very well - I woke up at 6:30 on Saturday morning! Somehow I have to let my body know that I don't actually have to go to work on Saturdays!). The power stayed out most of the day, as I discovered when I got home from an impromptu dinner at my mom's house. By the time I got home at 8:30 the power had only been on for about 3 hours! Luckily I had plans to go out with a friend and we went out to where there was power, so it wasn't all bad. I expect to see a lot of branches and leaves and debris littering the area for the next few days as people try and put their yards back into order! I'm very glad I have no yard, and no patio furniture on my balcony right now to worry about :-)
