Apparently business is booming. These things are soooo cool! I think me and ethan are going to start saving up for one. I'm not even kidding...an underground bunker/shelter would be a good investment I think. If nothing else, a cool place for sleepovers? heee. Watch the video below ;)

Great Service from MEC
Just wanted to give some praise to the service at Mountain Equipment Co-op. Since I've done some bad reviews (car dealerships etc.) I thought I'd share a good one.
So, I've had a backpack for about 2.5 years. It was still in great shape, but the zipper totally blew out a few weeks ago...So, I thought I'd check out the cost of getting it repaired at MEC vs. buying a new backpack. I took it to the repair desk, and they said...sure we can fix it...no charge to you :) So yeah...FREE! When I went to pick it up today it said that MEC was charged $40 to fix my bag, but I was charged nothing! Yay for great service! And good quality gear....I've seen people with MEC bags that are at least 10 years old and still going strong :)

25 Random things....
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. I use to be TERRIFIED of driving in downtown Calgary. Now I could drive it every day in my sleep…oh wait! I do!
2. I like food. Any kind, anywhere. Oh, except for sweet pickles (GROSS) and seafood.
3. Shrimp gives me a headache. Nothing else does…I have no idea why.
4. My Daughter will have EIGHT grandparents by the end of this year…
5. I have four and a step and a half siblings ;)
6. I had an ipod and a mac before 99% of you. You just wanted to be cool like me.
5. I had a 9 pound 14 ounce baby and am in no hurry to do that again!
6. During childbirth, I had three epidurals which did not take, and ended with a spinal, which paralyzed me for two days. I threw up while they were doing the emergency c-section.
7. When I do eventually have more kids, I would like to have twin boys…and call it quits.
8. I once almost started the Calaway Park rollercoaster without locking the seatbelts. I got in big trouble….but no one would have died…because it automatically shuts off before the big drop if the seatbelts are not locked. That’s what they get for making me work ten hours without a break in 30 degree weather, for $5 an hour?? I had heat exhaustion and wasn’t thinking clearly.
9. Once, I threw up in the Mount Royal College library paper recycle bin. One of my most embarrassing moments.
10. I’m illiterate. I read the twilight series…but only because it was audio books.
11. I dream of being a hippie one day. With a solar powered house, etc. etc.
12. Our car was stolen in Silver Springs when Sarah was two weeks old..
13. I want to be a hobby photographer…but realize so does everyone else in the world at the moment…
14. I may or may not rip library potty training DVDs into itunes format so sarah can watch them over and over again. And no…it’s not working.
15. I have a BFA (Multimedia) and most people have no idea what that means
16. I’m pretty sure I require about 10 hours of sleep, but usually get 5 or 6.
17. I would REALLY like to get out of Calgary…but it seems the more I get my hopes up, the longer I’m stuck here.
18. I’m a blog-stalker. I read all of your blogs, and you probably have no idea.
19. I had to take my belt off to pay a u-turn ticket last week. Welcome to the new Calgary Courthouse!
20. I’m addicted to Licorice Herb Tea. I think all other kinds of herb tea taste like stale water.
21. I hate windows computers. I’m crashing Photoshop as we speak.
22. I tan abnormally fast and have been asked numerous times if I’m from California… Apparently tanned blondes can’t be from Canada.
23. I see drug dealers/deals/usage almost every day… just walking from my parking lot to work (3 blocks).
24. I’ve never tried drugs, but know where to get them (see above).
25. I don’t like automatically flushing toilets
