Ski liquidation sale

December 18, 2006 by Tricia

Do you ski? I haven’t skied for ages and I kind of miss it.

I live in a big city in Southern Ontario and to me, the whole area is flat compared to where I come from. You see I grew up in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley and if you want good ski country, well that’s it. Not to mention all the great skiing just across the boarder in Quebec as well.

Ski Tel Inc is having a liquidation sale on Last Year Model Skis !. They apparently have 82,500 pair of skis in stock, and they are selling several pairs each day.

I took a good look at their site and they sell top name brands of skis, ski boots, snowboards and other products related to skiing as well. The brand names that stood out were Rossignol, Salomon, Atomic, Dynastar, K2, Ride, and Burton.

Now, as I’ve said I haven’t skied in years, but looking at the products that Ski Tel is selling I think the prices look more than reasonable. In fact, I’m getting a strong urge to get myself some Ski’s and head on over to Blue Mountain sometime very soon and go skiing. My husband says that he’s been skiing in the past as well, so I guess we’d have to get some gear for him too. Not only would it be fun to be on the hills skiing, the after ski part is fun too. There’s a lot of nice Ski resorts in this area – even if the skiing isn’t as good as it is back home, and the idea of warming up by a fire, sipping hot chocolate, staying in a log cabin resort over night. Mmmmm that sounds really good to me.

I think I have a plan … I just need to get uhmmm … two pair of ski boots, two pair of ski’s, two sets of ski wear and so on and so on. Alright so I have an expensive plan, but I have a plan. LOL Watch for us on the slopes in the New Year. Maybe you’ll join us with your new ski’s too?

Stag and Hen parties

December 18, 2006 by Tricia

It was a few years ago, while at work, when I first heard someone bring up the term Hen Party. I had no idea what they were talking about. I thought it must be some type of party where a bunch of women got together and gossiped. It turns out that I was at least half right. A Hen party is what we call over here in North America a Bridal shower, or more likely since it seems much more fun and party like perhaps a bachlorette party.

Well now I can say that I’ve been to a Canadian version of a Hen Party. I’m sure it wasn’t quite like they have in the UK but it sure was fun. Now I’ve just learned a company in the UK that specializes in organizing Stag and Hen weekend trips and parties worldwide. The company is called Red Seven Leisure Co. I’ve been looking over some of their get togethers and Hen and Stag weekends and they sound amazing. Imagine you’re about to get married, and you can have one last night or weekend on the town with your closest friends- but what town will it be? London, Paris, New York? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could choose to have a Stag and Hen party anywhere in the world?

Red Seven Leisure can plan themed Hen parties for you- costumed, Fany Dress, whatever you are looking for, well just about, they can put together for you. The site lists popular Hen or Stag night, and weekend packages but they’re happy to tailor make a party or event for you. Just contact them and let them know what you’d like.

Now the next time one of my UK friends talks about a Hen party I can tell her about Red Seven and maybe they can organize something here in Canada?

If you are a fan of the hit TV show House you’ll love my new 451press.com blog Watching House. I’m busy filling it up with recaps of recent shows, stories about Hugh Laurie and even some old video of him on his hit British Television series, and other news stories such as Golden Globe nominations. Come visit. Tell me what you want to see there and I’ll try to make it a regular part of the new blog.

The other new blog is called Celebrity Scoop. I’m still feeling my way on that one but I’ve been writing about recent star sightings, breaking news, and occasionally about hot fashion trends. Check it out and give me some suggestions as to what you’d like to see there too.

Optics Planet has some great gift ideas

December 17, 2006 by Tricia

I’ve got some more cool gift ideas for you! Don’t get your loved ones socks and ties when you can get them A telescope of their very own. Ok maybe not everyone wants or needs a telescope but what about one of the many types of binoculars – Digital binoculars, monoculars, opera glasses – that are on sale now at OpticsPlanet.net

I know so many people that could use not just one but several of the items that Optics Planets sells. My brother in law loves to hunt, I don’t like him doing it so much, but he loves it so maybe one of the leupold rifle scopes would make a great gift for him. I also have nephews that would probably love the telescopes or microscopes. My sister, being an engraver might be able to use one of the loupes that they sell, and my in-laws could probably use an extra flashlight or two.

If you’re still looking for the perfect gift don’t forget to visit Optics Planet.

I was interviewed by BlogTO

December 16, 2006 by Tricia

I completely forgot to mention that my interview was posted over at Blog TO. It’s a blog about all things Toronto and it’s fairly popular. They have a section called Blogerati and they regularly do interviews with fellow Toronto bloggers in that area.

I was pleased to have been contacted by them for an interview. I managed to plug a few of the bloggers that I like to visit in my interview as well. Check out the interview to see if I mentioned you.

Oh and in case I do happen to get some visitors from BlogTo. First of welcome to my humble little blog, and second – would you like to join the Toronto Bloggers Blogroll? Or if you live too far outside of Toronto .. like maybe Nova Scotia or British Columbia perhaps then you might be interested in Joining the I am Canadian Blogroll? They’re free to join for all Toronto or Canadian bloggers (even Canadians living in other Countries right now too).
