Stars on Ice 2007

So, my mom, sister and I went to Stars on Ice again this year. It's pretty much an annual bonding event for us. I don't think I've missed one for the past 6 or 7 years! This years tour was called Double Exposure since they included lots of tidbits about the skaters day to day lives.

Let's see, who all was in the show you ask? Kurt Browning; Brian Orser; Jamie Sale & David Pelletier; Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrice Lauzon; Jeff Buttle; Joannie Rochette; Jennifer Robinson; Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman; Todd Eldredge; Special Gueses were: Miki Ando and Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo. I don't think I'm missing anyone!

This was Brian Orsers last tour - I almost cried when he skated his last solo! Now granted, I do cry easily but I wasn't the only teary one I'm sure. My mom was wondering who was going to do the backflips from now on!

I found out a couple of days after the show that Jamie Sale is pregnant (3 months I think is what the paper said) - which probably explains why they didn't do as many big tricks this year!

Let me know if you want to join us next year - the more the merrier!

OK - back to work I go....

House Update

I know, I know it's been almost a month - my only excuse was that I wanted to wait until I had pictures of the colours etc. that I picked out for the inside of the house. Oh, and a little something called tax season has kind of gotten in the way too. Oh well - only 2 more weeks of taxes to go!

So the picture shows the carpet, lino, countertops that I picked. The cupboard door shown isn't exactly what I picked - the one in the picture is oak, the one I picked is maple but the colour is the same (it's called Hazlenut - yum!). Let's see, what else - the roof has now been shingled and all of the windows are in. I'll probably take some more pictures after work today and I'll post them as soon as I can. I wanted to take some earlier this week, but I came down with the flu. Thank goodness I'm feeling better now!

What else is going on in my world...well Terry, Mom and I will be going to see Stars on Ice tomorrow night so I'll be sure and blog about that.

I've also been busy planning our end of tax season party - I decided on a rock and roll theme so I got all of the guys Blues Brothers sunglasses and ganster hats and the girls get black and silver feather boas! I think we're also going to make silver stars to put on everyone's office doors with their names written in them.

Anyway, that's all for now!
