You may remember my friend Linda from such epicness as Team Cupcake, publishing in Science, and several 12 Bars of Christmas. Well, you can add one more epic event to the list, because yesterday at a theatre in Port Moody, Linda got hitched to Casey. The ceremony was very awesome and very Linda & Casey. And I love when weddings have little touches added […]
My friend Heather – a.k.a., my beautiful and talented hockey linemate – is participating in a fundraiser that you should totally donate to! Good Words for Africa is a event being run to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which “supports community-based organizations that are turning the tide of HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.” Heather and […]
This is the RSVP card for my friends’ wedding. I just *love* the different options for your reply. So tempted to put “accepts with regret,” just because that’s hilarious! But I think instead I’ll use the write-in option to say “Accepts with the expectation that there will be hot single men in attendance.”
When I first started fundraising for the Longest Game, the online system used for donations wasn’t equipped to provide us with the names of the people who were donating. Once we got an updated system, names of donors were published immediately on the fundraising page ((If the donor gave permission, that is!)) So while I know […]
My friend Dr. Erika is giving a public lecture as part of the Café Scientifique series of public lectures: Our next café will happen on Tuesday September 27 at the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir Street) at 7:30pm. Our speaker that evening will be Erika Eliason, an expert on Pacific salmon migration who has been featured on the UBC Public […]
Apparently my ability to blog about anything but the game lasted all of one day. It’s been four days since the game ended and I’m feeling both like I may never fully recover and like it was all just a dream! My physical injuries are all very surface – blisters and abrasions – and I’m […]
I’m sure I could probably blog about the game until the end of time! There were SO MANY times that something happened that I thought “I need to blog that,” but given that we had very little time to do anything other than eat, sleep & play, I didn’t get to blog most of them. […]
I can’t believe that the game ended just yesterday! When I was driving away from the rink yesterday, all I could think was, “Did I just dream that?” It was a truly surreal experience and if I didn’t have the blisters to prove otherwise, I would really be wondering! I’m still pretty exhausted, even though […]
So, we’ve been playing hockey for nine days straight now. Personally, I’ve played 81 hours of hockey so far. EIGHTY-ONE, y’all ((And people on Team Red have played even more than that, as they’ve had more injuries (and thus the remaining players have had to pick up more of the time to cover for the […]
I can’t get over the amount of media that this hockey game is getting! There was a tonne of media here the first day – “OMG, these women are going to play hockey for 10 days straight!” and there have been other stories along the way, like “OMG, these women desperately need medical supplies” and “Holy crap, […]
