Skaha, Canananananada!!!
I know I'm reaching WAAAAY back in time for this one, but I want to get caught up someday, so might as well start now!In early September 2010, The Group went to Skaha Bluffs in British Columbia, Canada, about 6 hours north-east of Seattle. Just outside of Penticton, a...
Easy Theme Party & Costume Ideas
A few years ago, my friend Allison had a Monochrome birthday party. Sounds like a snoozer, but let me tell you, it was a banger! Then last year she outdid herself when we all 'Wigged Out' in celebration of her 27th year. After that everyone pretty much embraced the...
Last blog about funny signs, I *promise*
As I've said, the weather was not so good in NZ. Only now am I realising that instead of taking pictures of scenery (becuase I couldn't see any scenery, as it was all covered in fog/rain/sleet/freezing-sheeting-winds-of-ic) I took pictures of noteworthy...

Amusing ways to tell you ‘NO!’
Like all places, there are certain things you aren't allowed to do in New Zealand. More often than not, these signs are amusing to foreigners. These are my faves: This was the sign warning trekkers about the 'seriousness' of the hike they were about to...
Baldwin Street – The World’s STEEPEST!
On the day I visited Dunedin, a large-ish city toward the south-eastern tip of the South Island, the weather could not have been worse (sensing a theme yet?). But that's what rain jackets are for, right? I was going to see the World's Steepest...
Shopping? NZ’s got you covered!
I didn't do much shopping down under, as I have a pretty strict don't-buy-crap-that-you'll-have-to-schlep-around-on-your-back rule, but that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate some of NZ's finest offerings. I've already written about the amusing socks and you know...
