Seen and Overheard During Ottawa Girly Weekend, 2006

  • Toronto to Ottawa: a three hour trip.
  • The reason we are not allowed upstairs is not bathroom-related, it's more to do with the secret meth lab.
  • Skating on the canal at -26 degrees is a ten-minute activity.
  • While skating in aforementioned conditions: "I wish my nose was closer to my face."
  • "They don't have a beaver tail stand inside the Rideau Centre? Of course they do!" (Note: no beaver tail stand was located on the premises.)
  • On the Rideau Centre: "It's a mall. Of course they have lockers." (Note: no lockers were located on the premises.)
  • Beaver tails should be eaten ONE per sitting. Never two. Two is repulsive.
  • Whereas it's necessary to wear 5 individual layers to go outside (or, say, skate on the canal in -26 degree weather), it's perfectly fine to leave the house with wet hair.

  • When in doubt, wear two sets of pants.

  • "That's soooooo blog-worthy!" (Also used as a threat.)
  • "WHAT?! They don't zamboni the Rideau Canal???!! Of course they do." (Note: no zamboni was located within a five mile radius of said canal.)
  • "Why does Switzerland compete in the Olympics? I thought they were neutral."
  • "How do you make salt water? It's not just salt and water, is it?"
  • "I LOVE my new onesie!" J-Dog

All in all, another excellent weekend.
