Month: September 2009

Dwayne and I met where we met and see top right?  That’s a book he made dedicated to me and my Blog Party and it says ‘Keri, The Canadian Explorer’ on the cover.  So pumped. 

And you know how I said he had a surprise for me?  It was that he’d already secured the first raffle prize of the night yesssss.

We’re going to do some more investigating into possible venues (I’m still kinda stuck on this one), I have to draw up the guest list (which’ll be basically “Dear Internet, You’re Invited) and the date we’re looking at is *tentatively* November 12.  I also gotta get some sort of drink sponsor so at the very least, the first drink is on me.  

Bottom right is my ponytail looking the best it has in a while.

It’s here in Canada, in and around the Hamilton area and there’s 125+ of them.  Click here for a great site dedicated to them all.

That’s Chris and Steve, an adorable couple who took me out (pseudo-studio!) to see seven of them.  Turns out it’s never just a waterfall… there’s cascading, curtain, ribbon, many different types.  Chris was so helpful on this exploration by researching and planning the trip, which is why I tweeted this.  Oh, how I know Chris is she made me my tooth, click here.

Chris also made us a picnic lunch which we ate at The Hermitage , a heritage building in Ancaster which is rumoured to be haunted.  Then out of nowhere I got very very cold, yanked down my sleeves and curled up into myself:

Steve: Cold?
Me: All of a sudden very
Chris: I know me too
Me: Maybe it’s the ghost, they say when the temperature drops rapidly like that there’s a ghost present
Steve: Well we have been talking about him all day
Us: [heads turn in unison toward the gatehouse he lives in]

Three words became the theme of the day: hermitage, giglala (definition: very fancy) and interloper *.  And I didn’t know until well into the exploration that they’d never seen even one of my episodes… thanks for the trust guys, your time and the laughs.

Thank you BD Studios!  

I am loving my new bangs from Rose.  Neither of us have heard back regarding the Olympic Torch thing we entered, but she predicts by the end of the month we will.  

Every time I post about my haircut I think of that viral video, ‘My New Haircut‘.  My brother and I went nuts for it… “not now chief, I’m in the zone”, haha.

Note: as I linked that up I saw the video now has Official Merchandise, aka my brother’s Xmas ’09 gift.

Do like I did 500 times before I got my Blackberry.  Sometimes, like today, I still do.

Here on the lower level of the ‘Bank of Montreal‘ is a setup like, “come talk to us about investing your money here”, and there’s 6 computers, all online unrestricted access.

No one will talk to you, look twice at you even if you sit there for a long time, like, I’ve written tomes here.
