Stampede goodness

SO we had the ultimate Alberta experiance .. the Calgary Stampede.
Davis made us all get "cow-boy outfits" ... I gave in and got a hat, I am not a hat person so I doubt that i will ever wear it again but I was informed that I HAD to get one. We went to the chuck wagon races and the grandstand show on Saturday and we will probably go again at some point this week. There is TONS to do there so I want to take advantage.

This is all of us at the stampede, hats and all.

One cow boy outfit that I was excited about, she looked so darn cute, i especially loved the boots, although they arent in this picture for some reason.

other than the cowboy fest, not much going on, only one and a half months left to go until we go home!! All this hot summer weather and no beaches in sight ... how do these people live?

I was tagged by my dear friend Kristiane Edna Chatham, I am not very creative today so the following may not be very interesting, feel free to read if you are bored .... ;)

Joys:

1-Spending time with Kailey and Davis, its always just a taste of what heaven will be like
2-My Family, I miss them so much right now and I cant wait to see them in a month and a half!!!
3-The ocean ... sigh

Fears

1-Being far out in the open ocean/sinking boats/sharks ..... i think they all go together to form one large unreasonable fear
2-Anything happening to Kailey
3-getting pregnant again any time soon ... seriously....

Goals

1-To be more environmentaly friendly (i spend alot of time trying to find products that are eco-friendly ... use less water and electricity ... etc etc etc)
2-To loose 5 to 10 pounds of pregnancy flab. well actually I lost all the pregnancy weight but my tummy is still a little looser than it was before, i would like to fix that but hate excersizing ...
3-To do something differant with my hair soon, I dont even know what I want to do, I just want to do something........

Current obsessions

1-Watching documentaries on line. I need to be more aware of what is going on in the world.
2-Kailey.. she is probably the biggest one
3-Tea tree oil ... holy cow it works great on skin (anything from breakouts to insect bites to scratches etc ... my new favorite thing, goes right along with aloe ... except aloe doesnt get rid of acne)

Random facts

1-I am hot ALL OF THE TIME, I used to be one of those people who were cold always, but ever since I got pregnant ... I am boiling ALWAYS. I dont sleep with blankets anymore at night, I have a fan pointed at me on high speed all day long ... honestly its ridiculous ... its like Im going through menopause, I am going to go see a doctor about it because I think there is something wrong with me.
2-I eat raisin bran for breakfast everymorning
3-Davis and i found this little restaurant in Edmonton called Wok Box, and we ate there for lunch and supper for like 3 days straight ... so dang GOOD. holy cow. I wish there was one here in calgary too ... or better yet, back in halifax. Best ginger beef EVER!!

Am I supposed to tag someone now? alot of people have allready done it.... but Claudine go ahead!!!!
