One year ago today, my foot was freed from the evil clutches of that insufferable pink cast! Then I found out that Michael Jackson died. Then there was a fire drill as soon as I got back to the office and I had to walk down 3 flights of stairs. Then I walked in to Brewster’s where I was made fun off because I couldn’t bend at my ankle yet when I walked, so i looked retarded, but I didn’t care because I was finally walking without crutches!

Practically everyone on the Northside is talking about this house explosion. Edmonton house blast kills four .
It is alarming to be reminded that you could be going about your day, obeying all the laws and taking all the safety precautions you can think of, when suddenly, something so far out of your control can occur and change everything in your life so dramatically.
An arial shot of the explosion scene.
I always think this when I see the Depeche Mode CD cover on my iPod.
The Infected Mushroom album came out before Seether’s did and I immediately thought they looked the same when I saw Seether’s album cover. It’s no surprise, since the artwork was done by the same guy.
The boys talked a bit about themselves and the band and South Africa, why they moved to the States, commented on the flatness of Edmonton, and of course played some songs! (Soldier, Perfect Stranger, and Letters from the Sky)
Then there was an autograph and photo session. I was having a bad hair day and I look like a dork.
A while later, I was walking back to my car and guess who I met amongst the trees... a beaver! He (or she, I don't know how to tell them apart) was so close I could have touched him, but thought better of it. If a beaver can nom nom nom through a big tree, then I wouldn’t want it nom nom nom’ing on my arm!
This beaver was nom nom nom’ing on the nice green grass.
Today we went to Disney’s California Adventure park and had lunch with the princess at Ariel’s Grotto. I found a little piece of Disney heaven, where they served adult drinks! I got a fancy magical star cocktail.

While in California, I have assumed a few new pink things.

In local California news, there is a barn owl in San Marcos, CA who is now world renowned. Since February, she has a webcam set up on her, capturing her laying eggs last month, to their recent hatching. Her name is Molly.
You can watch Molly, and read more about her, her mate McGee, and their hatchlings, here. http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox#more
I didn’t know what a fox sounds like, so I googled “youtube fox sounds”.
In an attempt to fuse more colour into my wardrobe, I tried on a bunch
of colourful garments. I come home with 5 new pieces, every one in
black. I tried so hard to find colour but the pieces I that fit best
didn't come in other colours. I tried!

I found cat bottles, filled with wine – Moselland Riesling. Initially, I was going to get the black one, because the empty bottle would make a nice decoration in my bedroom. Then, I saw the pink bottle… how can a girl decided? Who says she has to… I took home both!
I think I need to schedule insurance coverage on my nail polish collection. I now have 89 different colours (not including the ones Amanda got me for Christmas, because I stuck those in a “safe place” that was even too safe for me to find). When I usually spend $10-15 on a bottle, it really adds up!
It’s totally not my style to be posting an advertisement like this in order to win a contest, but I really want to try out this ManGlaze nail polish (check out the kick ass bottle!)… There is a product giveway on one of the nail polish blogs I follow, and I’m hoping to win it. Click the picture for more details.
There are no tracks in the snow so it wasn't pushed over. The garbage
truck would have had to set it down there.
Teen: My aunt is a vegetarian. She only eats chicken. She said that
since it's ok to eat eggs, it is also safe to eat the chicken, because
eggs come from chickens.

Blue has been my favourite colour to paint my nails lately. To be more precise, Sea? I Told You! by OPI has been my favourite. So much so that the bottle is nearly empty!
I went to buy another bottle, but I accidentally grabbed Teal the Cows Come Home. To the average eye it looks the same, but as soon as I got home and pulled the bottle out of the bag I knew I didn’t have the right one. Out I went in search of Sea? I Told You… Can’t find it.
Enter Absolutely Alice. I had read about the new colour online and thought that it might be nice, but I wasn’t crazy for all the sparkly flakes it in. Normally they annoy me to wear them. But I bought it anyway and it has become my new favourite!
It’s a nice sparkly mix of blue, black and gold. (inspired by Alice’s blue dress and golden locks.) I’m a silver girl, not a gold girl, but the gold blends in so well that all you see is sparkles! The picture doesn’t do it justice.
Here is a link to some better pictures of the colour. I also have Mad As a Hatter.

Boiling water and stirring counts as cooking!
I made some pink watermelon (with watermelon schnapps) flower shaped Jell-o jigglers
I saw Avatar yesterday. It was awesome! I want to see it again!
I went to the Sonic studio this afternoon to pick something up, and they sent me home with all sorts of goodies, and lots of PINK things!
Article from the Edmonton Metro
Frigid temperatures recorded yesterday shattered records set in previous years, marking the coldest Dec. 13 in Edmonton’s history.
The temperature at the Edmonton International Airport dipped to -46.1 C at its lowest point, smashing the -36.1 C record set in 2008, Environment Canada meteorologist David Schmidt said yesterday.
“It was a chilly one,” he said.
The Edmonton City Centre Airport recorded -36.6 C yesterday, beating the previous record of -32.8 C set in 1882.
“We’re probably experiencing the coldest temperatures we’ll see for the next little while,” he said.
Thankfully, Schmidt added, the season’s icy grip will ease by mid-week when the Arctic high-pressure area dominating weather over the Prairies will shift to a Pacific stream.
Temperatures will level out by Friday, likely reaching minus single-digits.
The all-time record at the International Airport was set in January 1972, when the mercury fell to -48.3C.
“We almost beat it — just within the two-degree range,” Schmidt said.
Edmonton was the coldest place in the world yesterday, second only to a Siberian weather station, where temperatures reached -48 C.
