My Evil Twin

I know it's been a while. I figured, if Shayla can update her blog, I can update mine.

'They' say everyone has a twin.

This is my twin.

Her name is Ange Dyer

She is a pro-snowboarder I think. Well anyways, she was in a video of snowboarders that Shayla and Jay were watching. Apparently they paused the video, looked at each other and said, "Alesha!"


Well, what do you think?

Falling Down

We spent the FALL evening of Sept 25 on Ghost Dam....

I know, it's FALL. It's suppose to be cold. Calgary has turned over a new leaf this FALL and proved to be a competitor in the "how long can it stay nice so we can go boating" competition.

Calgary has been good to us. Right Molly?!

We went right on into the night.. nothing was going to stop Lisa from skurfing or Celine Dion from singing (watch the video).

Lisa, right before the sun went down. If you squint, you can see her orange hat!

Jennica and Leanne watching Lisa's rad moves.

Lovely Lisa

Leanne, as the Grim Reaper taking photos.

No Pain, No Jayne!

Check out the moon in this video..

To the man with the orange hat: Thanks for making it a really good day.

Peace!

Massively Cute

Yep, this is him... the cat to end all cats.
Oh dear, can it be that I'm starting my crazy cat ladyness?

Frivolous Capers

To stay up really late so that you sleep for most of the next day to get ready for a night shift... here are some things that you can do...

Just don't get caught.

We did...

Hence the photos you are about to see.

I think John appreciated it as much as we did!

Getting Supplies

Doing the dirty work

For a good time call... who else would John call but Morgan

Don't for get your pranking socks!! Finished product

This isn't all we did that night.. a few others were late for work that morning as well. Revenge is sweet tho right? Revenge was gotten... a dead animal, guts and all in Heather's house. What goes around come around.. we still have some more good idea's in the bank.

What we want to know, are your ideas!!

Morning Love Notes

PS- the mirror had streaks from condensation, and the tub has a water mark.. I guess N didnt realize. An innocent assumption, as I to thought the tub was dirty until I started scrubbing it, oh about 2 days ago, and realized it wasn't coming off.

So question: do notes really work, or do they do more harm?
(i know, it's all in the interpretation)

Rad Artists in a Dangerous Time

Who: Phoebe, Gwen, Lisa, Alesha, Lucy

What: Phoebe's 23rd B-day

Where: Thai Boat

When: Tonight

Why: To Celebrate of course!

How: Eating (of course, everything is better with food) and then Painting

'Just in case' I die and my paintings become worth something, I'm signing it.

Finished product looks pretty rad.. not too much paint was spilled on the carpet either so points for us! Apparently there is a product that Gwen's mom "uses all the time" and the paint will magically come right out... all right, i trust ya, but whoever spilled it pays for it if it doesn't!

That's all for tonight.. oh wait, take a look at this... remember these camera's? Yes, phoebe really does use this one all the time... awesome


Love Alesha

Single White Male Epiphany...and Then Some

Setting the Scene: while out for supper at Red Robins with 12 of our 'closest' kelowna friends, we witnessed a lightening bolt revelation as it hit, he who cannot be named, 'single white male'.

It started out with a casual conversation between two bosom buddies, Carlyn and Roxy who were deciding which to meals they wanted to share.

Wayne (quite disgustedly): You know you 2 don't have to share everything!

Roxy (with sincerity): Wayne, sharing is caring.

Single White Male (with awe): wow, is that how it is? Well no wonder I'm still single!

Carlyn (wisely): yup, when someone catches your eye tonight, just walk right up to her, and say, "hi, I'm he who cannot be named, and I care. Would you like a piece of gum?"

Single White Male (quite stupidly): .....and then she'll share her gum with me?

Carlyn (with exasperation): no you're sharing with her!

SWM: oooooohhhhhh, I get it. And that works? Like she'll chew it and give it back? That seems like a good way to share!

Even tho it appeared to have gone over his head, while we were ordering, SWM asked if anyone would like to share any of his gooey mozza sticks. Carlyn pointed out there were no Single Females..

Alesha (thinking): ummm, hello, over here!

Carlyn: Oh right, Alesha is single! Alesha, would you like to share his gooey sticks?

Alesha (embarassed/flustered/awkward): I care, but I don't share!

Better luck next time SWM

Looks like the future Mr.Olson has yet to be found.

some of our favorite photos from the day:

Ready for Breakfast at...

Roughing it in kelowna

As we (carlyn, lisa and alesha) listen to the air condition hum in our bunk house, we are impressed with how we are coping with this back to nature experience.

Like seriously, carlyn had to get out of bed to plug in her mac! and the ikea bedspreads are to stinkin hot. In the dark, lit by the glow from the laptop, a fruit fly actually landed on the screen. ew. "lisa, can you kill the fly... ?" we figure she's got the most experience. "and lisa, if the noise from the air conditioner is bugging you, feel free to roll over and turn it off!"

"alesha, did you see the sign on the way in to the bathroom?"

"um... no, what, why, what did it say?"

"all blowdryers and straightners are to be left outside this campsite at all times!"

"what? yeah right, that's dumb, what am i suppose to do with my hair now? i'm trying to pick up the future mr.olson tomorrow.. don't they know that?"

"well, guess he's going to have to wait."

"i'll show you how to wait"

We should really get some sleep tho cuz the eggs benedict from Gatzkey's with melted brie and apple aren't going to order themselves. See you at the crack of dawn.. i mean crack of noon. or maybe crack of the lady sitting by the ice cream store in Golden. Niiiiiice.

lisa: What is up with people who let their bum crack show?

carlyn: can't they feel it?

lisa: i was just about to say that! or i wonder if that happens to me without noticing it..

alesha: oh look, she tried to cover half of it.. seriously, wear pants that fit..

carlyn: amen sista!

love from carlyn and alesha, roughing it at 'tween lakes

peace

tap tap, "alesha, did you lock the door?"

Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day....

This was how we spent our morning, on the patio of Phils! Candace Seeber is back in Canada for a visit from New Zealand.. lucky us

Lisa and I spent an entire Canada Day afternoon catching up on sleep. Aren't we full of life these days... and feeling a tad guilty about not seizing the day and getting in on the party at Prince's Island Park. Sometimes sleep is important tho. Just think of the energy we will have for the fireworks tonight!!!

Climbing, Falling, Hiking, Jumping

Climbing in K country with Layne, Natalie, Sarah (Natalie's friend) and I was, unfortunately for Layne, kind of eventful!

He fell....

off the rock face he was climbing..

yep....

nope, Natalie didn't catch him...

oops.

Good thing it was only 10 feet or so.

Then there was Layne's shoes.... hello toes!

So that concludes the Climbing and Falling portion of this evenings blog..

But the day wouldn't have been complete with out hiking...

So on to jumping, yep jumping.

The best jumper I know.

Downtown Banff after supper at the Old Spaghetti Factory after a crazy day of rafting (Leah's got all those pictures), John John the piper's son, (its a song i think or maybe i made it up) doing what he does best, anyway, John... take a look!

The End is Near..

A crazy man carrying a "The End is Near" sign....
















To top it off, he was discussing (code word in our Olson house for arguing) with some religious evangelist!

Taken in little Penticton... I'm not entirely sure what he was trying to accomplish tho... were people suppose to ask him how to get Jesus and salvation?

....and to think I thought this only existed in Archie Comics and movies!

funkalicious

thanks to women's health magazine, (phoebe has a subscription, go phoebe) i found this cool website, www.befunky.com Anyone looking to waste hours at a time i highly recommend it!

here's what you can do... yours will probably far exceed mine!



This would be my friend Jen and I..


this is all the time i had for one day!

Verbal Constipation

Grade 8 earth science...
Apperently one day I could not find it within myself to shut my mouth. Mr teacher man announced to the class that I had verbal diarrhea. It's contagious, and since it's contagious, he was going to send me out of the class room but I gave a convincing argument as to why I should stay. True story. Today, 10 years later, I still have it. It's horrible. I can't shut my mouth when I should. People don't need to know everything about me, nor do they probably want to know that much. A very wise friend once told me that everyone is only concerned about themselves anyways. Thanks Amanda. But somehow, if people ask the right questions, I spill everything.

I'm learning, slowly, to be a little more verbally constipated!

People who I would like to meet....

"People who don't care about pettiness.

I know so many people that are awesome,

but if they didn't worry so much about what people had to say about

them,

or what they did,

or who they are,

then they would be amazing."
