Heh... no wife , house , kids or anything like that for me.... yet.

Sorry to hear about the job thing Christy.. Keep your chin up though. You'll be back at it in no time.

Everyone sounds pretty busy so far.. wish I could go on about my busy life hahah... well, I could...

I have been playing lots of drums , as always.. (how'd you know i was a drummer pauli??) Drums are my "escape" at the end of the day.. nothing better than banging the crap out of the drums after a long day at the office. The band is going well and we will be hitting the bars and pubs in Calgary very shortly.. watch out for us calgarians. We aren't too bad at all if I may say so myself.

I am making plans to get back into school, get myself into SAIT for a Computer Technology course. I have to upgrade a whole damn year in math first though... yipee.

Been doing a bit of camping, leaving again Sunday to Cypress Hill (haha...) for 6 days.. should be good. We get back on my birthday (30th) and then a couple days after we're back out camping again for a few days.

Pretty nervous about leaving the tank and all, but I have someone to watch it , that I trust. So I am confident it'll be okay.

Keeping busy can be a good thing.

How did I know you were a drummer? I'm psychic of cource. Ahem...

At least that's what you said on the post saying how you picked your user name.

Don't worry Christy, you'll find a job (especially if you move to Alberta!). I mean who WOULDN'T want to hire someone that's into reefing! Is it on your resume?

I dunno about the rest of you, but owning a pool store sounds like best job in the world! Step aside rock star there's a new top-dog in town.

I have been busy wedding planning planning, honeymoon planning, and researching cameras. Also been training my dog to swim and stay still in a boat in preperation for our honeymoon too.

House is a mess, yard is a mess, renos are on hold, tank needs work as always. Trying to get it prepared for my 3 week wedding/honeymoon.

Just never enough hours in the day, but that is how I like it too.

I've been spending lots of time with our one year old granddaughter. She's a hoot! She's walking, plays hide and seek, says uh-oh (Chris and I taught her that one ), and is generally a joy to be around Being "Grandma" has given me a whole new outlet for my silliness

The rest of the summer will be spent slowly consolidating our 37g and 67g livestock into our 120g, doing Condo Treasurer stuff, trying to stay cool, baby, and of course playing with my granddaughter.

Also very busy since moving into the city. Like Bev, spending lots of time with our grandaughters and daughter.

Also very busy landscaping the new property. Building decks, fences and so on. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Sheez, I will need to un-retire now.

My new 65g is now running. Not much livestock yet. Sold most all when I moved. Still have my mated percs and my 2+yr. old copperband, that I dont have the heart to part with.

Limited posting time for now.

After some thought, I've decided to take a day out of my vacation to do some badly needed work on my tank. I need to re-arrange my rockwork which has been sound for the past 15 months. Many of my corals are outgrowing their current positions.

Pretty busy summer for me as well. As some other members i have been planning my wedding/honeymoon, but the easy thing is we are getting married in St Lucia so they pretty much do all the work.
This past weekend was the first time i have actually been home all weekend, travelled all across BC and Alberta, camping, visiting customers etc.
Stampede took out a large chunk of my budget for entertaining etc, but its worth every penny spent!

Cool... stampede sucked for me .. of course, this is my experience. It's over priced, over crowded and just no more fun for me. People are rude, have no manners, and are just flat out ignorant. I guess that's why it was my first year back since 2003 or something... I find stampede to be a joke now. I couldn't believe the people there... everyone was so crabby and ignorant... I think there were close to 3 times that me and the guys almost had a tussle... obviously we're minding our own.. people just blow my mind these days. It was pretty shocking to me... I've never been to a place where the people have been like that.

There's my 2 thumbs up for Stampede .
