DRAGON BOAT

This year again I am taking part in the Dragon Boat festival held in Peterborough! This festival is held to raise money to purchase equipment for the PHRC that is needed for the screening/ detection and or treatment of breast cancer!

Last year we had a wonderfull team that worked VERY HARD and had a great time and times on and off the water!

My Goal this year is to raise $700 in Pledges for myself! I would like to say $1000 BUT I am being realistic and starting at 700!

If you are intrested in pledging me please let me know! Most of you know where to find me!

PS look for us decked out in our PINK in the lobby at work!

SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW

35 CM of snow this week are you ready?
I only have to work tommorow then I am off for my weekend! Good thing the brunt of this snow is coming Monday- Wednesday! I intend to stock up tommorow before I leave work and spend the next few days inside if the roads are bad! Watching movies and putting a dent in my collection!

Summer time is coming!

Summer time is coming! Today we got these really cute shorts into work! Very country and totally my style! Im going to try and shop early this year for summer clothes and actually find some basic peices that I really like and can mix and match. I usually wear jeans for most of the summer between work and working out at dads. Plus I usually fake the roll up jean! No more. I need to find some basic peices.

Shopping list...

*New bathing Suit.
*Denim Capri
*Boardshort
*Basic kakhi and tan short
*Another pair of addidas sport shorts! ** I bought these last year and they are perfect for Dragon boating! I can wear them soak them and they are almost instantly dry!

** Few tank tops and tshirts! I allready have a bunch but its nice to have some new colors!

Driving Hands Free!

Tommorow will be my first day of hands free driving! I purchased a bluetooth set from Uniden today for a whopping $16 on rebate... it works really well... Quality wasant a huge issue for me. I just wanted something to use and have in my ear in case I ever got stopped by Police. I'm quite pleased with my purchase. I figure it was okay to sacrifice some quality for savings as it wasant something I would be using all the time!

Going for gold!

This morning was great at work! All of us mIssed the hockey game last night so this am our boss called us all over and we watched the end of the 3rd OT and shoot out together at work! The sun wasant up yet but it was a great moment shared in excitment!

Jim's new rules!

Our new finance mInister has brought in new legislation regarding percentages down and mortage rates! For instance a home being bought to live in for yourself in the past the minimum you can put down was zero but having a higher interst rate and going with a fixed insted of variable rate mortage!

Now to buy a home to live in yourself you must be able to put down 10 percent! In order to receive a variable rate mortgage!

For an investment property! I hope you saved your pennies your have to put down 20 % no question!

This isn't too big of a road bump we were planning on putting down 10 or even 15 % on our home!

Work crazyness

Work has been nothing but absolute crazyness in the last few weeks from preparing for inventory! Completeling and closeing with one of the best scores we could have imagined! To preparing for all the execs and vice presidents its been a lot of work a lot of sleepless nights and a ton of pressure! Finally now on my weekend I can finally breath and relax!
