randomness

welcome to my blog. post 1 will be a random assortment of facts, tidbits and anecdotes from my week...

sunday night i returned the jar of "just peanuts" peanut butter that i got at loblaws, because i opened it up and it looked funny. it was all congeled, but not the way all natural peanut butter normally congeles... it was weird! the lovely teenagers at customer service were so disgusted at the thought of what might be inside the jar, that they didn't even look and just handed me a new one! several spoonfuls in and all appears well in jar #2.

i'm playing on 2 ultimate teams this summer: "the mad cows" and "gang green." the mad cows are far more competitive than gang green... but both SHOULD be a good time!

dragon boat season has begun! i have recruited my mother onto the team. what better sport to pick up when you're 60 than dragon boating right? the benefit of having your mother on your dragon boat team is that she takes you to baskin robbins afterwards!! mmmmmmmm perils of praline!

ok... here's an interesting link to read if you're bored... http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/postal-ca.html

ummm... what else have i learned this week... QP note stands for "question period note"... and when you get a request for one, you gotta work fast!

ok. enough randomness for post number 1. perhaps next week i'll follow simon's advice and aim to put something on about cooking... this week all i cooked was "chicken and rice and everything spice"... but i made it with pork and chickpeas instead of chicken... yes.

later!

Wikipedia is a really great resource for Canadian postal codes. You can find out gems like the least populated FSA in Toronto is M5L, which is right in the middle of the financial sector. After that comes M7A (Queen's Park), with 5 people.

Congratulations on writing a QP note.

what is a qp note? Who does it go to? Is it only a FYI note, or does it get discussed?
