Drayton Valley

Drayton Valley is cold, but it feels tropical compared to Grande Prairie. I have just finished up a trip for work, doing Phase II's. A Phase II is a day of soil sampling, logging, diagrams, and freezing your butt off. I know that I wasn't crazy when I think GP was really cold a few days ago. We spent all day outside in -18 C and we kept saying, "oh, it might be chilly, but it's nothing compared to GP." I were so much clothes during the day that it's really hard to tie my boots. The ladies room is a particular challenge. Especially working on sites with limited coverage. I once created a ladies room behind a little well centre fence and two tumble weeds. The good news is that I'm on my way home tomorrow morning. Hurray!

The good thing about being in a small town is SAAN. I found a great outfit for Club Ted, a dress-up party I am going to tomorrow night in Millarville. More on the theme tomorrow night, plus I'll post pictures. Another fun note about Club Ted is that I nearly got to take the quadruplet's bus to and from the party. No, really. You know, the quadruplets. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2007/08/16/cal-quadruplets.html
Well, my friends holding the party know them (well, okay, their parents), so we nearly got the bus as a partymobile, since it's out-of-town and it's going to be a piss-up. Unfortunately, it didn't work out (insurance issues), but we're getting a minivan and a driver (aka Leanne's brother) instead. It's going to be great, but the quad's bus would have been pretty cool. Oh shut up. Like they need it. They can't even drive yet.
