Need a new mattress? Ikea has nice ones. Their bedroom event is on now, Feb 15-28, 2010 and you can get 20% back in Ikea gift cards with the purchase of a sultan spring mattress and box spring.

I can’t help but think of the Ikea commercials where the lady is running to her car “Start the Car!!!!” when she is leaving Ikea, cause she got such an ‘awesome’ deal. Or the one where the couple come back from vacation and fall straight on their mattress, missing it so much when they were away. Ikea has great commercials, and it’s just fun shopping there.

Hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day! Here are this week’s Costco instant savings coupons, which are not really coupons per se, as Costco now doesn’t hand out these coupons at the door. Instead, the savings are automatically applied if you purchase that specific product. These are valid from Monday, Feb. 15 til Sunday, Feb. 21, 2010.

***EASTERN CANADA***

***WESTERN CANADA***

You know what I wish? I wish that Costco, instead of having 2 different sales between Eastern and Western Canada, would just combine that two sales together and make it nationwide. Wouldn’t that be better?

I feel bad making 2 negative blog posts in a row so let me start off with the positives. I truly enjoyed yesterday’s Vancouver 2010 Opening Ceremony. Contrary to what I’ve heard before the event, it seemed very well organized. The music was awesome, the lighting effects were gorgeous, the poem was breathtaking, the fiddlers were astonishing  and I liked Sarah Mclachlan’s performance. The malfunction and the truck ride were disappointing but I’m not expecting perfection.

But what really caught my attention the most was the way our National Anthem O Canada was sung. I think Nikki Yanofsky has a wonderful and inspiring voice and I love her song “I believe”. However I think that our national anthem shouldn’t be sung in that slow jazzy style.  If that is her style then someone else should have performed it. 

Here is her performance (CTV keep removing the video so I added a vocal only version)

This is how it should have been performed. With passion and power!

Compare yesterday’s performance to how Carrie Underwood sang the US ‘s Star-Spangled Banner during the Superbowl:
