Yes... I thought I'd be brave and try my hand at old-skool rollerskating. Our Guatemala team had a rollerskating party last night as a fundraiser. We had a blast. I was doing great on the skates until I fell- HARD. Today I have to sit on a pillow. Poor me. I decided that I would stick to blading after that.
Wow- the sounds and sights of a Western Conference victory. On Saturday evening- as I’m sure most of Canada and North America saw, The Oilers beat the Mighty Ducks and are heading to the Stanley Cup finals. Of course as the seconds ticked away to nothing in the 3rd period- fandemonium ensued on the Edmonton streets. I was over a friend’s house for the very exciting series finale. Afterwards we braved the streets of Whyte Avenue where thousands of crazy people wandered the streets high five'in everyone they walked past, shaking lampposts and lighting off fireworks.
I got out of there before the bonfires started- but it was fascinating to watch. That being said….people calm down. There’s no need to burn things and act psychotic on the streets. I love the Oilers too- but there’s a line that needs to be drawn between fan camaraderie and just plain stupidity. Unfortunately a few people on Saturday night crossed that line.

on another note.... my car got broken into AGAIN. I just got it back on Friday and I went down this morning and the glove compartment was open, the trunk was half open and things were everywhere! Oh well.. nothing stolen. At least the car was still there. Ahh... c'est la vie!
Oh- I forgot to mention that I’m heading to The U.S. of A at the end of June! Very exciting! Going on a business trip to Washington D.C. and then taking the train to New York City and meeting up with friends for 4 days of good times! I’m so excited!
The City of Edmonton is also in serious playoff mode- despite the Oilers loss yesterday….I’m getting prepared for another loud series! I hope we get to the next round- as i'm sure that 98% of the Edmonton population does as well. I'm really not a big hockey fan, but you really can't help catching a little Oilers fever when you live here...
Ahh to be a kid again. On Thursday, I had the pleasure of seeing Peter Pan at the Citadel Theatre- and I must say- very enchanting. When they started flying, I totally was taken back to the days when I used to daydream myself into fairy tale land... If only it was that easy- to think happy thoughts and fly!
My happy thoughts are good food, good friends and good music, and good shopping… mmmm shopping…… What are yours?
On Saturday night, I went with Lals and Rhett to see Zakir Hussien and the Masters of Percussion… all I can say is. WOW. Now, I play drums. Or at least I thought I played drums… these guys were crazeee. Considering this guy has been playing since he was 12… and he had lessons for 4 hours every day… I think I may have a bit of ways to catch up. 
It was very inspiring though. I think I sat there with my mouth open in awe for most of the show. Oh- I don’t think I mentioned, but I finally got a guitar! Yay for me! I start lessons tonight. Actually I think I’m doing quite well, considering I’ve never played one before, I’m surprised that its actually quite easy. I’m hoping the lessons will make me a pro in no time!
