    Hey Michelle! That's so cool that you live in Abbotsford! I have a bunch of family that lives there still. :) Whereabouts are you? I used to live right close to UCFV~ That's awesome that you were a childcare center supervisor! Did you love it? I've been interested in working with kids for so long, so I really hope I enjoy it!

Hey Nadine! I'll reply to you on your page 'cause it's gonna be a long one lol.

    RE 1. Check out Volunteer Vancouver
RE 4&5. Lucky kitty!
RE 16. Have you ever heard of VOKRA? They do kitten rescue and take volunteers. Dog walking is great too, but if you hadn't heard of VOKRA, it's a great cause.
RE 34. There's meditation a meditation centre on Commercial drive that has meditation classes on Sunday mornings and a few other times. If you ever want to check it out let me know. I keep meaning to. It's called tilopa and they have a website. There is also free meditation at Collingwood Community Centre on Friday nights.
RE 46. Me too!
RE 55. Me too!
RE 58. The Vancouver zoo has had lots of troubles with not providing adequate shelter or living conditions for its animals! You should check out the aquarium instead. They do a lot of research, have a program encouraing restaurants to sell only sustainable seafood and take in rescue animals.
RE 73&74. There is a very good and cheap manicure place across from the New West skytrain station. It's called April Nail Spa or something like that. $30 for a pedicure!
RE 87. Bad girl....
RE 89. Please pass any along!

    That'd be awesome if everyone could make a list like this! I can't wait to start crossing things off!!

Hey Mags! Hehe, yeah, thinking of 101 things is tough! So I mayyy have stolen a couple of yours. XD Wow, that's crazy that you have family in Abbotsford! I actually lived there all throughout my highschool years. :) Yep, I'm definitely considering getting my ECE diploma! Just signed up for volunteering at a local daycare, just gotta wait for my criminal record check to go through.. we'll see how that goes then go from there!
