portland bound....or not?

trying to get to portland this weekend for the lindy exchange......but i’m having trouble finding someone to car pool with. so between the cost of the gas and driving for 5hrs alone after a 12hr day...not sure if it’s gonna happen.

i’ll be bummed if it doesn’t....only happens every second year and been looking forward to it....

i’ll keep ya posted.

perfect day of freedom

wanted to make today a relaxing day...and did.

started it off with a lovely chat and coffee with ian who i hadn’t seen in quite a while...then tea and a chat with ani and sophie.....ending it with a nice doggie walk with another friend grant and his doggie pixie. omg...that dog is so cute! terrier x chihuahua....maybe....he’s not sure. charlie is completely flaked out now.

here she is modelling the lovely vintage harness grant gave her....it fits her perfectly! :)

pink champagne..margaritas and collaborative lasagne



last night i had my little art auction dinner party celebration...i invited the people that helped me most with the art sale and also helped me out in my few broke months! it was really a nice party. the ani/jojo collaborative lasagne worked out pretty darn good! although my tummy is complaining from the wheat and dairy feast...not the mention the wine, margaritas and pink champagne!! we poped the vintage bottle that simon got me last year from france...it was very nice...thanks si!

....and thanks to everyone that came to help me celebrate!

dan pouring the champagne...

:)

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.

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!

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...


painting by....chris riggs for president


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??
