well i am getting trouble from ej, so i decided i better get on the blogging....here is a picture from my maui pairing...it was a beautiful sunset, that i saw from my balcony....i was suppose to be taking a nap, but who can sleep when that is right there...imagine that EVERY night?? hawaii is a beautiful place...its my happy place...serenity serenity...i dont have all that much to report..i am suppose to be working right now, but i am sick...i have a bit of a head cold, and my ears were acting up on my pairing, so thats that....
i have a story from my pairing....i decided that i wanted to run on one of my maui pairings, so i went along the beach with my F/O. (first officer for those who dont follow aviation lingo:P) mind you, the FO use to be a marathon runner....he mentioned this but i naturally forgot...so we are off and running along the beach and let me tell you..sand is the best work out i think i have ever done in my life...especially when you havent been running in a while, and the person you are running with sets the pace at a run pretty much..not a jog haha...so picture us running and then heyy look, there are three steps up..(we are running off the beach now) stairs?? thats eeeeeasy..sooo i start up the stairs and i unfortunately miss the first one...and i fell flat on my face...i still have the markings from it...the FO was just staring at me and then he started laughing..he said it was the funniest thing ever...i had a mark on my upper thigh, and 3 war wounds on my ankle/foot...let me tell you...when i want to hurt myself i go ALLLLLL out....anyways the story is much better in person..well i think it is...enjoy the sunset...it will be a while before i see any of those again...

this made my day..
ej i will have done 3 posts today!! WOW..
this article made my day....
Regular naps prove good for the heart: study
A six-year study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults found that those who consistently took midday naps had a lower risk of dying from heart disease.
"Having a siesta reduces your probability of dying by about one third third," Dr. Dimitrios Trichopoulos, one of the study's senior authors, told CTV News British Columbia.
Researchers found that those who slept at least three times a week, for a minimum of 30 minutes, had a 37 per cent lower risk of dying from heart disease.
Employed men showed stronger benefits from napping than unemployed men, said researchers at the University of Athens Medical School.
"We interpret our findings as indicating that among healthy adults, siesta, possibly on account of stress-releasing consequences, may reduce coronary mortality," lead author Androniki Naska wrote in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The study also showed that occasional nappers were less likely to die from heart problems than those who did not take naps, but researchers said the benefit was not significant.
Of the 792 men and women that died during the follow-up period, 133 died from heart disease. About half of the total subjects took naps.
None of the subjects, who ranged in age from 20 to 86, suffered from illness at the beginning of the study.

so on saturday, ej came over to my brothers, and we decided to go for lunch with my brother and sister in law and baby M. before we went to the restaurant, we decided that we wanted some coffee....
we hit up starbucks by seven oaks, and i decided that i wanted a traveling mug...i knew which one though and that starbucks didnt have it...so we went to the other star bucks..in total we went to 3 different starbucks until i finally found it in surrey at guilford...
before i found it thought, we got on the freeway - dancing to ejs ipod....thats when Girls just wanna have fun came on....clearly i havent had a dance party lately so i busted out the "DANCE PARTY AT 1514!!!!!! weird..it was 1514 at the moment...so we started dancing and laughing...thats when we pulled out the bill dance...(the twist of the wrist while the index is rocking out by its self) and the tom dance...move the arm up and down with the index finger rocking out...again by itself...can you tell tom and bill are brothers???
alright so now that you have the mental picture..imagine us doing that...and then guy in the white ford pulled up beside me..and i just happen to glance over and see him staring at us and almost crying because he is laughing so hard at us..soooo i think that just made us dance harder because we sure didnt stop...
also we went to the GAP, and supported the (RED) line...i am ado(RED) and so is EJ!!!! i suggest everyone support it..it is a GREAT cause..
we had decided that the farr family is clearly crazy...i guess ejs name is true...crazy people do have more fun!!!

drivers
this is going to be a short one, because if i start talking about it, this will turn into the biggest rant in the world...
Calgary drivers have got to be some of the worst drivers ever....So today im driving to tegs from the hangar and i merge off mcknight (aka mcknightmare) and into the lane for deerfoot south..i take the exit, and the person is seriously doing 30 the whole way down the exit. not a big deal, i would prefer 50 but whatever..anyways so then we get to where we are suppose to merge onto deerfoot (which is one of the sketchiest roads in calgary) and hes still doing 30...problem is, the speed limit on deerfoot is 110 (i think...maybe 100) anyways so my rant and rave today is....TRY MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY DOING 30 KMS AN HOUR WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING AT LEAST 110 OR 120!!!!!!!!!!!!
it didnt work out sooo well...then he came to a complete stop...thanks ^#$%#^$ you have just made it NEAR impossible for me to merge...
Oh and one other thing....its a 3 lane highway...if you all want to do 98 then stay in one lane..dont all take up 3 lanes....#$^&#%$^&#%^%$
this city stresses me out...

ride called life...
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!

mad world
so i am home..and in one piece with 2 fully functioning ear drums...last night i took a steam shower for about an hour and that seemed to dislodge things a bit..thanks beck for the tips...i felt pretty ridiculous standing over the bathtub but not in it and standing upside down...ohhh hey the hand stand trick actually does work...my F/O told me that when we landed in cuba and i thought he was joking....apparently he isnt...they hadnt completely popped when i went to bed but i got a nice 10 hours of sleep and when i woke up this morning i was pretty worried about flying home, as it was 1100 am this morning and my ears hadnt fully popped...(we landed at 230 the previous afternoon)...i took some advil cold and sinus when i woke up, a sudafed before our 2 hour ground delay for de icing....and then over regina i decided it was time for another...i was pretty drugged up, but hurray my ears didnt hurt when we were on descent...they plugged, but popped as soon as we touched down...it was definitely the day from hell...i was sitting beside this older "larger" man and he was sweating profusely...and then we are in the deicing line up in toronto...which is seriously about 20 airplanes long...and then we get to the de icing pad and we sit more...then the older gentleman fell asleep, and i was at the window seat and halfway through the flight i definitely had to use the washroom, but he was conked out....i had to wait till he woke up...the downfalls of the window seat...at that time i was cursing i didnt take the aisle...the only downfall for me today was that i offloaded last night...steph called me and apparently they went to the airport to operate the ottawa flights, and they were canceled so they got put on a flight back to calgary at 8 am...so they got back to calgary a bit earlier, but hey it happens... now this week i have to go see the airline doctor about my ears because this is the second time they have been acting up...anyways i m going to curl up on my couch and watch a movie...then its back to the gym routine tomorrow...
Joke told today...
this was told over the PA, as we landed into calgary...
"so ladies and gentleman did you know it takes an IQ of 180 to fly this aircraft???"
"thats why we have 2 pilots!!"

disappointing...but LuLu's tips for life...
I know that people have been viewing my blog, (my people counter does keep count :P) but NOBODY is leaving comments....except EJ!!! upsetting...
i watched An Inconvenient Truth...wow..what an eye opener...pretty much we are killing the world we live in, and anyone who lives in vancouver...get out...if greenland or half of antartica melt away...there goes half of the worlds cities...sea level goes up by at least 20 feet...SCARY!!!!
Here are some tips from lululemon on how to live your life...

Here are some tips from lululemon on how to live your life...
Drink FRESH water and as much water as you can. Water flushes unwanted toxins from your body and keeps your brain sharp.
Observe a plant before and after being watered and related these benefits to your body and brain.
Coke, Pepsi and all other pops will be known as the cigarettes of the future. Colas are NOT a substitute for water. They're just another cheap drug made to look great by advertisers.
Breathe: this lets you live in the moment.
Stretch: this releases toxins from your muscles.
Do yoga so you can remain active in physical sports as you age.
Wear sunscreen.
Listen, listen, listen and then ask strategic questions.
SWEAT once a day to regenerate your skin.
Compliments from the heart elevate others' spirit and will often result in an encouraging word from someone else...a domino effect.
Your outlook on life is a direct reflection of how much you like yourself.
Life is full of setbacks. Success is determined by how you handle them.
Write down your short and long term GOALS four times a year. Two personal, two business and one health goal. A study at Yale found that only 3% of the students had written goals. Twenty years later, the same 3% were wealthier than the other 97% combined.
You ALWAYS have choice and the conscious brain can only hold one thought at a time. Choose a positive thought.
Visualize your eventual demise. It has an amazing effect on how you live for the moment.
Communication is COMPLICATED. Each person is rasied in a different family with a different definition of every word.
Love.
Jealousy works the opposite way you want it to.
Nature wantes use to be mediocre because we have a greater chance to survive and reproduce. Mediocre is as close to the bottom as it is to the top. Be creative. Do one thing a day that scares you.
Take various vitamins. You never know what small mineral can eliminate the bottleneck to everlasting health.
Dance, sing, floss and travel.
Do not use cleaning chemicals on your kitchen counter. Try vinegar and lemon. Somone will inevitably make a sandwich on your counter.
Friends are more important that money. Don't trust that an old age pension will be sufficient.
Live near the ocean and inhale the pure salt air that flows over the water. Vancouver will do nicely.
Stress is related to 99% of all illnesses.
One hour of aerobic exercise will release endorphins to regenerate cells and offset stress.
A daily hit of athletic induced endorphins will give you the power to make better decisions and help you be at peace with yourself.
Wake up and realize you are surrounded by amazing friends.

oh my...this will be a long one.
So i am back...but brought along a wicked nasty cold....here are some stories to make you laugh about my last 4 days from HELL.
Day 1. Started out pretty low key, flights are going well, GREAT crew. Aaron Pritchett was on my flight and now we are on a first name basis. He was going to winnipeg for his new years eve concert, and we chatted for a bit. He remembered me from my old airline. Pretty crazy because that was a while ago. Anyways hes pretty low key. A girl on the plane asked for his autograph and there was an old lady sitting beside him and she was like "oh are you someone famous?" and hes like nope, not at all..it was funny..Anyways for all of you who dont know him, he is a country singer. Sings Warm Safe Place. Great tune. After that we landed in winnipeg in a wicked snowstorm. It was pretty out of control.
Day 2. Woke up to the wicked snowstorm still going on. Knew it was going to be a brutal day, as it was a long one. 11 and a half hours we were blocked at. Get to the airport, and it turns out that the 0630 headstart flights (the first flights of the morning) hadnt even left yet. (our flight was sched for 0905) GREAT. We sat around the airport for about an hour and then our plane was pulled to the gate. We get on the plane and it is quite clear that we are going to have to de ice. We start boarding and about half way through, i get a call from the FA at the front that we have an addition to the Specials and that we have another kennel coming on board and that the lady who is bringing it on is irrate. In toronto on her way to winnipeg, she tried to sneak the dog on the plane and they caught her and went over the guidelines and regulations of having a kennel on board. So in winnipeg the same thing happens but she doesnt want to pay for the kennel this time. She ended up threatning the Customer Service Agents with the media because she apparently works for it. The Csa's were so stressed out with the snowstorm and what not they let it go....during the demo, i noticed her hand in the kennel which you arnt allowed to do. I let it go because we hadnt even pushed back yet and was going to watch it. I went back again and her hand wasnt in the kennell. I went to talk to the other Fa's and they said to just let it be for now, as we are de icing and what not, and we have to catch her doing it. Shes a sneaky lady and we couldnt catch her. Finally I did and I told her, that her hand cant be inside the kennel. She said well the dog is barking, and i said ook well your hand cant be in the kennel and walked away. I went to the back to phone up to the captain to update him on all of this, and he said to tell her to either keep her hand out of the kennel and we can go or she can choose to get off the plane and we would taxi back to the aircraft. I was walking up to the front to talk about it with the Lead and the lady tapped me on the side and said we have two choices, either the dog barks or my hand is int he kennel and he doesnt bark..i said your hand can not be in the kennel and she said fine it barks and i said fine it barks. i walk away and go to the forward galley and i guess the lady followed me and grabbed me very violently from behind and threw me around and then got in my face and started shaking her fingers at me and waht not. The other fa's had to step in so she wouldnt get any closer to me. She made me very upset and my reaction was to cry (WHICH SHE DIDNT SEE THANK GOD) and i had to get pulled int ot he flight deck and everyone was debating about what to do. she actually stayed on board because we were now 3 hours delayed and it would have delayed people more to go back to the gate and offload her.. (BAD DECISION!!!) anyways i ended up just pretty much staying in the back and i wouldnt go past row 12 from the back because she was in row 11. she ended up asking all the crew for their employee numbers and names but our captain told us not to give them out...she kept asking and asking (we took off our name tags) and finally we told her she could call westjet to talk about it. I was in the back galley on descent and i was cleaning up and she came into the galley and cornered me in the galley and was trying to find something on me that had my name on it. (ID tags, name tags...anything) i told her what she was already told. "Our captain does not want us giving out our info, as it is a security concern." Georgia who is smaller than me, had to push her way into this so the lady would leave...
She was crazy...this typing doesnt even justify everything that happened. She also threatened me with the media and said she is going to put this all int he news...I just smiled and walked away. I wanted to ask her waht she was going to publish. That she didnt follow transport rules and harrassed me? AHHHHH
We got into toronto 1 hour late, and on top of all this, I was getting sicker and my ears were plugging like CRAZY!! like hurting and i couldnt hear anything. Not a good sign.
We went for dinner as a crew said happy new year at 11 and all went to our rooms
Day 3. Better day, we took a delay in kelowna about an hour and a half. No biggy, I decided in kelowna that i was going to offload once i got to edmonton as my ears were out of control and nothing was helping. I got to edmonton, offloaded myself, went for a great dinner at the Gurnhams (THANKS GUYS!!LOVE YA) and then went back to the hotel and crashed.
Day 4. Sat as a guest and landed in calgary. cold not doing so well. ears still plugged. on the plus side i saw KATIE!!!!!!!!!!!! She got a pink dvd player for christmas..it was pretty wicked.
k i have typed enough...im going to go shower and then start cleaning up the house..

good ol p dot g dot
last night was a good night. went out with dixie, gina and aleena. we decided that after a drink at shooters, it was time for the cadillac ranch. (i love pg bar names) anyways we went there and i think everyone and their dog was out last night. First person i see was.....MAD DAWG!!! also known as Chris Madden. Great guy. Its been eons since i have seen him. good times good times. i saw ayla who is just back from New York. saw so many people i cant even start. we danced the night away.. gina brought the air guitar out and let me tell you...she is a pro! i think she must have been practicing...we met a few interesting people. "i can taste date rape..there is none in there" ...aleena pointed out this light in the bar that makes everyone look fantastic...they walk through that light and its like oh wow you are hot, and then you get past the light and its like oh maybe not so hot...it was funny...and so many people looked good in that light...we ended up shutting down the cadillac...dix wasnt too happy, as it was only 0215, and bars in pg are open till at least 0300. that is a good 45 minutes gone!! anyways tonight is colins surprise birthday party, so its going to be fun! HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN...who knows...tomorrow night is dinner with kayleen and randie. and that could turn into some fun dancing..anyways must run along now, as i have to go help breanne...
