A big Building--and the Trews

Yesterday I was walking in downtown Charlottetown, when I heard my voice. It was booming from above. It's pretty wierd to hear yourself as you are walking down the street. Construction guys were listening to K-ROCK 105.5...while I was voicetracked.

The Trews are in town for the East Coast Music Awards. K-ROCK has the VIP limo....we are picking up the bands and having some fun, and doing interviews.

The brothers, John Angus and Colin....are very handsome. :) Today I am working all day, ECMA reception at 5, and then I'm at a bar for and ECMA show---I'm not sure if I will be sleeping until next week. I love this job!

Sarah McLachlan

Crossed off the bucket list. I got to see Sarah McLachlan in Moncton earlier this week. She was a bit sick (laringytis) but she still sounded amazing.

Tomorrow I am curling in playoffs, and I plan on spending a lot of time at home! Have a great weekend!

TRX is Tough

TRX is CRAZY

This is TRX. It is the hardest workout I have encountered. It was created by a Navy Seal for the guys/gals on boats were there isn 't room for a gym. It is crazy hard and I have already seen results in my strength from it. I have been working out with Gineen at Studio 9 on Garfield Street and I have to say she is an amazing instructor (she is not paying me to say this either) and a great motivator. And I hate her most of the time I am working out.

TRX is great for the core and for strengthening your arms, shoulders, back and so on. If you get a chance...give it a try! I hate/love it!!

Canadian Music Week and a Quick Visit Home

So thrilled and thankful to be working for such a great company. This past week was Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Canadian Music week is about everything to do with music and radio. I learned so much (we had seminars put on by consultants from all over the industry) and now I have an entire new vision for K-ROCK. Fun stuff. (if you are radio geek like me) Anyways, along the way..I got to meet some really cool people. Like Nikki Sixx. Yes..and it was one of those heart hammering moments. And Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block. Not so heart hammering but cool none the less. And I got to see Sarah McLachlan perform (I actually go to her concert next week) Hollerado performed, Ash Koley, and some other cool performers.

So now I head home and I've got some serious work to do. The cool part is I love it. :)

Another Trip out to Cavendish Beach

Jumped in the car today (it's Islander Day) and headed out to Cavendish Beach. The goal was to look for foxes (didn't see any) and instead was amazed at a)how much more snow there is at Cavendish compared to Charlottetown, b) as far as the eye could see it was frozen Ocean, and c) it was cold!

Also stopped at a bridge on the way there and took pictures of ducks. They are ring necked ducks. I had never seen them before. When they would fly away, they would make these squeaky noises. Very beautiful.

Look at the red mud on my wheel...and the frozen pattern it made

Goo Goo Dolls and some other stuff

Goo Goo Dolls concert Saturday night was great! The guys were amazing and sounded excellent.

It is snowing like crazy today. The entire province is shut down practically due to white outs. The city isn't that bad though, all the big buildings are blocking the wind.

The Scotties Tournament of Hearts starts this weekend in Charlottetown, so I am getting ready to work a whole heck of a lot, because we are covering all of the PEI games. So I will either be hanging out at the curling rink, or at the station taking calls.

I had a GREAT Valentines day. Nuff said.

And today at work I am extremely frustrated and pissed off, and yet it isn't causing my blood pressure to go too high because it's really stupid, and I just keep laughing at the following two photos. This is ParisFrances drinking out of a glass. For some reason, water out of a glass that appears to be mine is the best water ever. She is constantly sticking her head in my water glass, which I then give her hell and have to get a fresh glass cause I don't want illnesses or worms or whatever.

And finally my niece Elise made me this picture when I was back home in January. It kills me because she has made me brown wearing a purple bathing suit. I look like a Wookie. I love it.

Heart & a New Table and Chairs

Went to see Heart 2 weeks ago. It was a great concert. Got to meet Ann&Nancy!

Got my PEI plate. I can officially drive very bad now, like the rest of the Islanders. Seriously, I have never seen any place drive like they do on the island.

And finally, through the wonderfulness of Kijjiji--I got a table and chairs for the apartment, which ParisFrances has already christened by sleeping on the table.

Tomorrow night--Goo Goo Dolls concert! Get to meet the band!

A Quiet Weekend

I went for a walk on Saturday with my college buddy Laura. She works here with the CBC so we got together, went for a walk in Victoria park, (right along the harbour--the water was like a sheet of glass) and then we went for lunch. It was nice to catch up.

I spent a lot of time cleaning this weekend. I also am trying to set up appointments to see the people I want to see when I come home next weekend.

Something I have noticed about Islanders. They are so nice--and yet they don't realize by being nice they are breaking the law. Constantly when driving, people stop traffic while they are driving to let someone turn. So say I am going down University Ave, suddenly buddy in front of me will stop to let someone on one of the streets that cross turn either left or right. This happens all the time! And its crazy. Some stupid woman almost got hit today making illegal left turn into traffic because the guy in front of me stopped to let her turn. It's very hard to explain...but it happens so much here, and no one in Ontario does that. 1. Because they don't give a crap 2. Because it is illegal!

What's Been Going On

-Since Christmas, I have thrown out the Christmas tree
-gained 2-3 pounds, and now have to lose 1 1/2 pounds
-January is supposed to be quiet in radio-NOT HERE!
-I've been to see a show of 3 East Coast artists (Megan Blanchard, Katie McGarry, &Catherine McLelland) that was mixed with a pie competition. Did not eat pie. Enjoyed watching the artists.
-Have decided I am going to Newfoundland in June for a trip. Very excited.
- I have been curling. Just when I think I am getting better, I suck. When I think I suck I have a good rock throw. I don't know the terms, I barely know the rules, but I don't care.
- I go home next week. Looking forward to seeing family and friends.
- I am reading a book called 45 Things You Do that Drive your boss crazy. So far a lot of my staff have done about 80 per cent of the book.
-odd thing about PEI. Every Monday since the week before Christmas there has been some sort of storm. Only on Mondays.
