Checking changes

I got to messing around with the settings on my blog, and wanted to change my template so this is just a test run to see if it worked, I promise a more interesting blog this weekend, Cheers!

Sleepless in Seattle

Yesterday Carson & I fled the country for the day and went to Bellingham. The weather was in our favor, so sunny & warm, perfect for a drive. We had our sights set on Bellis Fair mall, I have my heart set on a new pair of shoes, which girl doesn't! I have never been to Bellis fair before and from all the hype I've heard about it I had great expectations. But on the contrary, it was a let down. Our metrotown or even Guildford mall puts that place to shame. So we did a quick wonder about and then hopped back into the car and hit the outlet mall. Carson had his heart set on the Nike store, so we made our appearance there, and I could hardly belive that Carson walked out of there empty handed. After our morning of shopping we both agreed that we were shopped out and headed back to Canada. And we made it back across the border safe and sound. Those custom officers sure intimidate a person I tell ya, I think it's humorous that the US border control carry guns, which is great they should... But our Canadian Custom officers don't, they'll give a gun to a transit cop but not customs??? Something wrong with that picture. We then went to a pub and had dinner and watched the Canucks lose AGAIN. All in all it was a fabulous day in the warm weather being silly with my best friend, couldn't ask for a better day.

Like a bird to a feather.......

So this morning I was sitting at my desk at work, staring out the window daydreaming and just plan wishing I was somewhere else. When this seagull came and perched on the ledge in front of me. I was watching it bob it's head up & down, like it's had WAY too much caffeine, and was actually noticing how white and clean they look considering how they're such dirty little scavengers. As I was checking this bird out up close and even sorta thinking it's not a bad looking creature it turned it's head and regurgitated a slimy gooey round mass of I don't even want to know what. So the seagull has lost my vote and has now gone back into my books as being the filthy garbage eating bird that it is. I also took that as a sign to get back too the grind of the paperwork on my desk. Going with the whole bird theme of this blog post I've included a picture that my ever so talented Sweetie took when we were at the pier one day. You could tell that the cute little old man loved his outing of feeding those pigeons and I'm sure the birds looked forward to seeing him too.

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring

We had a fantastic weekend, the weather was amazing, so we took full advantage of it. Saturday morning we headed out to Mud Bay Park which is a Raptor & Shoreline Bird Sanctuary, there's trails for you to walk along the ocean in hopes of seeing some....... yes you guessed it... birds. But it was an adventure just getting there cause we've seen it tons of times from the highway but couldn't figure out how on earth to get there, so after getting frustrated with all our wrong turns we gave in and looked at the mapbook. And finally we arrived........ we didn't see any birds on our walk, just a huge crane soaking in some of the sunshine. But it was a great walk, we'll definitely go back probably with our bikes next time. I'm attaching some pictures to show you that yes we do get snow here too and the flower picture is of a couple days later once the snow melted. Bizarre!
