Okay, I’m really back this time 
…I promise.
Life has been utterly insane, and stressful, and I have a hard time blogging with nothing positive to blog about, so that’s why I disappear from my site. I subscribe to the notion that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. Obviously, it’s time to crack through the negative straight-jacket I’ve put on myself, and talk about some positive things… Because, despite the month of hell I’ve had, there’s a lot of great things happening, too.
For instance… in the short time I’ve been in Calgary (realistically, it’s been just over a month since we got back from our marathon honeymoon) I’ve met some super-fabulous people I can already call friends. One thing I can say about Calgary is that the people are really friendly here!
Also, who can be stressed and angry when Stampede is on? Buzz Bishop got it exactly right in his blog post yesterday: Stampede is Calgary’s Christmas (go read his blog post) — Everyone is in an awesome mood, and life seems to shine that much brighter in the Calgary sun. How can you have a frown wearing a cowboy hat, right?
And, let’s not forget the pancake breakfasts, people! It’s a staple! No question that during Stampede, pancakes and beer are their own food group. The hangover can wait until after July 18th!
So… Giddy up! I’m looking forward to “Sneak A Peek” at the Stampede tonight… The Calgary Food Bank has generously handed out tickets and dinner, so some of my new friends and I are off to get an early taste of the cowboy action, this evening! Good times!
YOUR TURN: Have you ever experienced Stampede here in Calgary? What’s your favourite part?

I can see the fireworks from the stampeded right from my roof, no need to go pay the $14.
