snow report

howdy folks! (are there any folks still readin' this?)

time has been passing rather pleasantly here in calgs. much to our surprise! apart from the -49 degrees we had back in january, the winter has been relatively mild. we've had a few chinooks blow through bringing a couple of days up to 14 degrees ABOVE zero! we also found out that we quite enjoy skiing. in fact we turned into total ski bunnies for a bit there - on the mountain every weekend for 6 weeks!! have now been to 6 ski resorts within 4 hours drive from calgs. they are all very beautiful, but that's because the rockies are. ger is a total natural and has now passed the stage of looking like a dork on skis. i, on the other hand, still look like a person frozen into the position of having a ski pushed up their bum, and i can't quite shake the niggling fear of sliding around on snow. ger is very brave and goes way faster than me, but always waits for me at points along the way :)

i put some skiing pics on my gallery, under the 'skiing escapades' album... http://dabunj.spaces.live.com/

well, since i last blogged, i joined a spanish class (yay! one of my new year's resolutions achieved) which i really enjoy. i think it's working too :). unfortunately i have to miss the final class tonight because.... i have a ticket to the hockey!!! this is something ger and i have had on the 'things to do in canada before we leave' list for a while now. it's a customer-shmoozing event for ger's work and his boss allocated one of the tickets to me!! we will be watching the calgary flames vs the colorado avalanches in style in a corporate box!!! so no chance of catching the puck, but i'm sure we'll get to see a few fights on the ice! YEAH! :)

and i have MORE exciting news... dad and debs are coming to visit in august!!!!! YEAH!!! they have their tickets!! pa & debs - i'm SO excited about seeing you guys here in CANADA!!!!! hurry up august! we'll get the mooses ready :)

i better go... am at work right now and therefore should be working i suppose.

chau!
