The Badger is Back!

I finally got some time off to spend with Alesha and friends!

It may look like a crazy sky,

but it's the underside of the giant mushroom...

at JOEY Bentall One!

Just had to get the girls with it too.

Once we finished dinner, we walked over to The Sutton Place Hotel for dessert!  :-)

Labour Day

Time to bring this machine back,

but not until the MOMMIETRON has an inspection.  ;-)

Niko tried to throw me off my schedule today by inviting me out for brunch.

I was still able to eat these Belgian Waffles at PHAT and still make my yoga and Pilates appointment this afternoon.  ;-)

Of course I got hungry from all the exercise, so I hooked-up with Amy and Sarah for dinner at a Joey.

Bellinis were on special today!

I had a Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwich as my entree...

and a Molten Lava Chocolate Souffle for dessert!

Sunday Funday

Breakfast by Lila was just what the doctor ordered after my workout this morning!

The Popa Fatt and I decided to go to Deep Cove today.

I betcha these boats can pull anything!

We have arrived at our destination.  The dog in this photo reminds me of Cooner.

Climbing the dirty rope...

The view from here is quite spectacular.

We love this place.

A caterpillar bush!

ANOVOS in the house!  When we got back into the city, I met-up with Dana, Jose, and Joe.  We decided to have dinner at Joey.  LOL!

Thanks for dinner you guys and thanks for all the BSG goodies!!!

Kelvin in the Afternoon

Here's Kelvin in our failed attempt to get me a free workout at Gold's Gym. They wanted me to pay $12 for a trial, so I said, "Forget it," and took-off to run some errands. LOL! I eventually met-up with Kelvin for lunch at a Joey Restaurant. The Creamy Chicken Alfredo is really good here! While I was eating, RT sent this puzzle from the It's All Fun & Games store to my iPhone. And yes, I solved it after my meal! In the evening, I attended my third class with Rachel Martens at Yoga for the People! Just had to get my stretch on, while looking radiant. LOL!

Fatty, Dazey, and Chera

This afternoon, Fatty and I met-up for lunch at a Joey Restaurant. Fatty got the Maple Salmon... and I got the Chicken Alfredo! They've got good food here! Afterwards, I went over to Elizabeth and Derek's to feed Dazey. Man, they've got a nice view from here! Here's the little fur ball. Dazey gets a little curious sometimes. LOL! He actually posed for a few photos. In the evening, I met-up with Jeff and Chera for karaoke at the Veterans Club! Kevin was here too. It sure was packed here! Apparently, 195 is the capacity at this place. This girl sung "Purple Rain" and she even wore purple too! Yay! We were a little worried at first, but Kevin was able to get up on stage before they closed.

The Grind, the VAG, and "Inception"

I was back at Grouse Mountain this morning, waiting for the Deumas to arrive, so we could do the Grind together.

They were running a little late, so I killed some time hanging-out by the Wolf Habitat.

I've seen these two before. Eventually, the Deumas arrived! Here they go, ready to take on the challenge with their 3 year-old. I warned them not to do it, but they didn't listen. Carina walked on certain parts of the way up, but was mostly carried by either Boris or Hilda. Uh oh, Boris is getting tired. Resting time... Back to carrying the little one... They should have brought their Yoda pack. Another pit stop... This one kept asking where her big sister, Alesha was. They eventually finished after 2 1/4 hours. They did it though. The Deumas conquered the Grouse Grind! "Get me the fuck out of here!" I left early because I had already made plans to meet-up with Alesha for lunch.

See, they've got a dog by the concierge desk at Hotel Vancouver! He works here!

We went to a Joey for lunch.

Uh oh, I'm gaining weight again.

Starting off with a couple of drinks...

I had their Lobster Grilled Cheese with Yam Fries. Alesha ordered the California Chicken Club. For dessert, we each had a Molten Lava Chocolate Souffle! The food here was great! After accidentally scraping my arm on a sign on Robson Street, I realized I'm medium rare on the inside. After our lunch, we checked-out the Vancouver Art Gallery. Big thanks to Andrea for getting us in!!! I'm creepin'. In the evening, we watched "Inception". It was my second time watching it, but I didn't mind because it's an awesome movie!

After the movie, we snapped a couple of shots from Lonsdale Quay as we waited for the bus.

Would someone get this container ship out of the way?!?

Hey, that's where Dave works! Alesha and I climbed to the top platform for a better vantage point. It didn't help though, that ship was still in the way. I wonder who owns this yacht. It's been here for awhile. There goes the sun. :(
