Hello Mii

So for my birthday I decided to go out and buy myself a present - a Wii. I keep telling myself if I have a Wii and a Wii Fit then I'll use it and actually exercise; and who knows maybe this will work. It can't cost any more than my many failed gym memberships - and its way more fun! So far Claire, Coli, and I have tried it out. One of the cool things about this video game system is that you get to make your own avatar, or Mii. I happened to have straight hair on my birthday, so I thought I would go with the new look. So what do you think, could you pick me out of a crowd?

A 'Surreal' Moment

Last weekend Shannon and Amanda were working for Level Ground at the Eat Fraser Valley event, so I thought I would go check out the show. One of the celebrity chefs happened to be Bob Blumer. I have watched him for years on Food Network, first on The Surreal Gourmet - the infamous Toaster-mobile- and more recently on Glutton for Punishment. I really enjoyed his presentation, so I decided to buy his cookbook and get it autographed. While I was waiting in line, a lady came up and started asking questions. Turns out she was a reporter for the Abbotsford Neighbourhood Bugel newspaper and she was writing a short article on the show. So I got my picture taken with Bob, and who knows, I might even end up in the paper. Surreal indeed.
