Have fun!!!

[trailmix 77]

So we went to Sobeys. They had a nice sale on, for instance the grain bread, which is normally $2.49 was $1 a loaf, a bunch of celery was $1. nice!

As we are driving down the road to the store there is a young boy waving our car down - by an alley - turns out they need a boost for their pickup - so we do that.

So we are standing in a (long) line, waiting to pay and my Husband hadn't had anything to eat (I grabbed a peanut butter and jam sandwich that I ate in the car) so I go off to the deli to get him a slice of pizza. On the way I pass Wayne Cao (MLA for Calgary-Fort). When I get back with the pizza my Husband mentions he just say Wayne Cao - who was walking back the other way just then.

So I say to my Husband, you don't think he is here just to be seen amongst the people? He is thinking the same thing. Wayne didn't buy anything, he just did a walk through the store.

Anyhoo, it's a little warmer than this mornings -22 - it's -15, still nippy.

Shoplifter, aisle 1. Cao should be pretty good at stealing, after all isn't he in the legislature?

Oh Len, pleeeeeeaaaazzzzzeeeeee blow kisses for me to Pike Place Market.

I looooooooooooove that place.

There's a super cool bookstore for rad women inside and across the street is a kinda anarchist bookshop, too....and besides that place there is one of the best bakeries I have ever been. OMG yummmmmmmm...I am drooling just thinking about it.

Back from downtown. Got Self 2 pairs of on-sale Clarks shoes, very pretty and cute.

Ate 4 baby cheesecakes down at the Pike + a nice cup of java.

Will now have to perform some sort of sex trick to prevent the wrath of the redhead.... when he wakes up from napping in the couch :lol: :lol:

TLM is a man so put the remote in his hand. Problem solved. Do those shoes by any chance come in men's 14 1/2?

That's one way to get him off the couch (and ducking for cover).

Good morning!!

Bonjour All,

My unenviable task is to find a decent place to live "downtown".

Not right in the heart of those extremely tall buildings, but nearby.

Close to the Lake (fresh water sea) and near amenities so I don't lose the rest of the mind I am rather fond of.

We drove around yesterday to look at a few places and lo-and-behold you can actually find reasonably priced apartments in terrific areas.

We decided to rent for this next year until I have a chance to be here a while and see if this is indeed a good city to live in.

As it is, the Arctic cold has my vote already cast...but alas, a year...will it kill me?

Made an attempt to go and see the Chinese New Year's Parade yesterday.

With windchills of -30 F and an air temp of -2 F it took a minute to freeze any exposed skin.

Scrapped that idea, although DimSum at The Phoenix was delectable. Yummmm...

So with the temp being a balmy 10 F or so today, I am venturing forth to do my own hunting...just awaiting some calls/emails back and maybe it will work out today.

Last week I drove right downtown, where people keep saying they fear, and completely enjoyed myself.

The city is so old that each building is fascinating, the people kind and helpful with directions, etc.

Plus I know a secret FREE parking area and walked to city hall in 20 minutes to get our marriage certificate.

What incredible architecture inside there!

WOW!

I will take photos next time.

I stood and spoke with a senior security/info dude for a while in there and got tons of info about what is going on in the city. I then went to Millennium park and saw where there is skating and an eclectic ice painting/sculpture thingie going on. He was quite welcoming to a Cannuck. Said he loved the time he had visited Vancouver.

I hope all of you are having a great day!

Enjoy your new conquest Emancipation.

Had to google Wayne Cao. lol. I saw Don Cherry in Mark's Work Wearhouse once. He wasn't buying anything either. He had come in to check whether his clothing line was being displayed properly. He was being driven around in a big black SUV with dark tinted windows so you couldn't see inside.

It's a little nippy here too. 60f/15c
