I'm going to travel across the lower mainland (that's what we call Vancouver and all the municipalities that have grown together with no obvious borders) for 3 hours round trip - will cost me $5 - using Translink (bus and skytrain). My company is paying me $35 travel (yay! an extra $30 for my pocket!) plus my hourly wage to price audit a large supermarket. I'll do this again tomorrow for another store.... so, double the $$ again!

AND... one of my friends saw the hat I posted on Facebook (and here)... and has ordered one from me! I've no idea what to charge - everyone is suggesting way more than what I'd pay... but then, to me, it seems easy to make... and so, I think its worth less. Um... ok.... my time is worth something...

The weather is beautiful... we're being blessed with a very dry summer's end.

4 years ago, Grand-Addy was born! She's celebrating her birthday with little friends at a splatter paint party. Party is costing $200 ... I say she needs a bed more than she needs this party... but.. who am I...
