Okay, okay, so I know I haven’t exactly been acting like much of a blogger this week. I haven’t posted in two days and even then it was only a video clip, so even I can admit that was a half-assed attempt. Work has been a hellish gong show for me over the last two days. On Wednesday after work, I sat on the floor of the shower, letting it run over me for 20 minutes, pretending I was sitting in a summer rain shower on Chesterman beach, not unlike the last time I was there. It actually worked.
However, now it’s Friday and my hell days allowed me to accrue enough overtime hours to stay at home today. Because my brain is essentially fried after completing 110 pages of written submissions, here’s a Friday link fest for you.

Looking for something to do in the Comox Valley this weekend? Don’t forget that the Bearclaw Invitational Slopestyle III will be unleashing all kinds of gnarly on Mount Washington today and tomorrow. While I wish I could be there this year, I attended last year’s Bearclaw and was not disappointed!
Raymi did something fun on her blog that I’ve been missing. I like it a lot.
Ali adopted a new dog from the Hamilton, Ontario SPCA but she’s also been a bit of a delinquent. I have yet to see pictures of her new baby Rex, so bug her to get on that.
With a little over three weeks to go until the BC SPCA’s Paws For A Cause, Matthew and I have already managed to raise an astonishing $5,770! Thanks to everyone’s who has donated already. There’s still time to contribute, so if you’d like to do so online, click over to the donation page or e-mail me (keira at keira-anne dot com) to arrange for a cash donation.
Looking for more blogs to read? Rebecca has been continuing a fantastic series, profiling local bloggers, so head on over to keep reading.
With August more than half over, the prospect of shopping for fall clothing is giving me a warm feeling in my tummy. Jennifer wrote a great post about some staples for the crisp days ahead. You can read it here.
One of my favourite ways to see Vancouver Island is from the comfy seat of an Island train. The VIA Rail corridor, stretching from Victoria to Courtenay, is one of the most beautiful and scenic trips you can take. It beats a road trip, hands down. It is also, however, in some serious need of TLC and the future of the rail line is at risk. Our Corridor is a group dedicated to finding funding for the line as well as raising community awareness about how vital it really is. Visit their site for more details and to find out how you can help!
I’m glad that you’re at home today…you more than deserve the day off. Enjoy.

Can we get in a wee bit of fall shopping when I come to visit in Sept.?
Hope you are having a relaxing day!
