1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. Whatcha get is whatcha get.
2. What I create will be just for you, with love.
3. It’ll be done this year (2009).
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be.It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber.It may be weird or beautiful.Or it may be monstrous and annoying. Heck, I might bake something for you and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something strange.
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.

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!

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!
