sophie and charlie looking bored wondering why we aren't sharing any of the lasagna...


:)

i just realised.....

holy crap!!

i just realised my auction is tomorrow in london...which means it’s tonight here !! 2am or so. i won’t get much sleep tonight i guess. for some reason i thought it was tomorrow......

i told ani i'd go to the gym at 9:30am tomorrow morning....then we're making lasagne for my celebration dinner friday. i'll be tired...oh well...that's ok.

wish me luck! :):):)

decisions....or should i say INdecisions

have many things on my mind these days.....

less than a week to go before the auction. katharina....and i think simon as well...will go to the viewing and reception on sunday and word on the street is i could be seeing a good showing.

so then i will have to decide what the hell i’m doing....

one thing i have noticed is i have too many ideas. i know i couldn’t possibly do them all at once.

maybe i need a plan? never been to good at planning ahead...but it’s not a bad an idea. it may take me awhile to implement them all....but that’s ok.

pics from the happy event!

the happy couple...


and of course cake! i just think this is such a cute photo....

sunday night 12:50am....

weekend was alright...i survived the valentine’s madness fairly well. friday i had my valentine's date with ani and rob. we had a nice dinner and went to some art shows. after that i caught up with some friends for some late night dancing.

saturday i volunteered at the legion valentine’s dance... basically so i could get in for free. that’s what i’ll be doing all month so i can get my dancing in on no cash...a big thank you to darren for that one.

that’s pretty much it. oh yeah...charlie went into heat....that’s interesting. i want to wait to have her fixed b/c i’m thinking about letting her have a litter so i can keep a puppy...sell the rest. we’ll see.i called the vet and apparently it can last anywhere from two weeks to a month! eeekkkk....i hope not.

have a great week!

:)

getting hitched again!

not me.....mum and dad!

today mum and dad are getting hitched again...that is to say they’re going to there local church to renew their vows after 52 years of marriage i think it’s great.....and pretty cute. still in love after all this time.

so congrats...on 52years and goin’ strong!!

:)

look what came in the mail today....

the sotheby’s catalogue!

and there she is right next to a banksy...

and i'm brimming with pride...

:):):)

sorry. i lied...

i lied for effect in my last post. i only wanted to speak about one love...so i made it sound like i have only had one. i have actually been in love twice....but they were both very different types of love. :)

sorry..... creative licence

:) happy valentine's day!

true love. do you get another chance...or is it a one time gig??

i like to do sometime special for valentines day. last year i tried to stay hopeful and make do of my situation. this year i thought i’d do something a little different and go the pour my heart out route.

take it or leave it...

yes i’ve been in love...once. very much in love. it was amazing. love...or was it lust ;)..at first sight! a connection we just couldn’t deny. we both knew it was there instantly. a moment that will be permanently frozen in time....in my mind. i can pull it up anytime i want...just like that. i remember everything he was wearing...his hair his eyes...his smile....what he said. hehe

the physical part of things were intense....the relationship part...well...we didn’t really seem to know how to do that part. we wanted to, but fumbled around. we hurt each other almost as much as we loved...with our selfishness and ignorance and youth...let people and things get in our way. it was no one person’s fault....just how it was. we were young. i was extremely young. much too young to understand what a precious gift it was and definitely too young and foolish to realise it may or may not be my only chance at it...but there it was........

so here i am....many years later. i’m not young any more. many things have come to pass. one of which understandably left me kinda emotionally unable to love for quite a few years. but i’m pretty sure i’m ok with all that now.

so i guess i’m left wondering if i will ever get that chance again.....or is it a one time deal?....never to cross my path again....

fuck i hope not!!

happy valentine’s day everyone!

:)

looks like the strikes over...

got the word yesterday we’ll probably be back to work by march 6th for a short stint of 4 eps. which is perfect for me really...get some money and get my head together.

i’m still not sure what i’m doing aferwards...most likely i will go to toronto for a couple of weeks to see what i think...go from there.

people are trying to talk me into staying here...arguing that vancouver needs an art scene and think i might be able to pull it off.....

i sorta wonder if it has no art scene...to speak of....for a reason. who knows. i guess it’s something to think about. in many ways it would be alot easier for me to stay...but is easier always better??

:)

gotta work it baby....

not much happening this week...exercise program's going good. at the gym every morning dancing when i can. tonight i'm checking out some west coast swing with some of my lindy friends. something i've been meaning to do for awhile.

tomorrow morn ani and i are going to hit a yogalates class..that’s yoga & palates combined. should be appropriately agonising...hehe

:)

chinese new year resolution...

well it's coming up to the year oh the rat....and ani and i are heading to the gym to get rid of that year the pig poundage we both seem to have packed on. starting tomorrow!

ani's gonna kick my ass i know it...i'm a little frightened! hehe;) i picture it being be a bit like the episode of the osbournes where ozzy and jack try to get in shape...lol

ok...it might not be quite that bad...but i'm sure there will be swearing!

:)

consequences

well it’s been a crap year so far i have to say.

lets see what’s the damage so far.....

i had two cars accidents ...yes two in on month! one wasn’t my fault ....the other was. i wasn’t paying attention....(someone i know.....who may or may not still read this blog...can have a laugh about that one.) my back’s still a little sore...but not too bad considering...but as a consequence have done very little dancing and as a consequence of that gained some weight.

ok...what else...

oh yeah...i haven’t worked. writer’s strike which every seems to think is over...but it ain’t...maybe soon though. better be...otherwise i’m in trouble.

my grandpa died...3 days before his 100th...while i was on the plane heading over there and i didn’t get to see him.

oh yeah...and i got stood up twice! once today....that’s always good fun!!

also today...i was about to rectify my lack of exercise by going dancing in abbotsford when i found out i had inadvertently hurt the best thing that’s happened to me in years. i didn’t mean too. i just did. i didn’t think i guess....i’m not sure.

ok only 11 months to go....can't wait!

:)

happy birthday liz!

liz and her ex husband richard...


last night was liz's birthday celebration with sushi at yama sushi....then a little rockabilly and dancing at the fairview pub. what a great night!!

last night was the first time i had met vance but have a few odd connections with him. he had kimba and daisy's dad, gunther up until recently.....also...he was ani's boy friend many bf's ago.

a few of my swing dancing friends came out too which was made it even better. they do this rockabilly round up is a monthly thing now at the fairview...next time i'm gonna try and get more dancers to come out.
