Saturday night I went to the Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival with Jade and a few of her coworkers. It was fun to get out, the girls were nice, we all shared sips and bites, I chose some fantastic wines to taste, and the food (and cheese!) was all delicious!! That's my favourite way to eat and drink, and little sips and nibbles. Lovely! And it ( Read more... )

Quinn is still snuggling at night. I love her and am so glad she's here ( Read more... )

Had a spa day this morning. Maclean gave me a package for my birthday last year, dunno why it took me so long to use it. It was GLORIOUS! Hour massage, hour facial, all natural products, in a gorgeous facility. It felt so good. I really wish I could justify/afford more of those ( Read more... )

Vancouver was lovely. So lovely, in fact, that by the end of my stay I was seriously considering moving there. I guess I should say I AM seriously considering moving there. Not immediately, but maybe by next June?? I've always liked Vancouver, but as I walked and drove through a few neighbourhoods this time, I really could see myself living there. ( Read more... )

And then there are the little things that are lost. Like the goodbye kiss and "I love you" before he leaves every morning. He did come in and kiss my cheek this morning, but it's just not the same. And I know I should be glad that he's still here and still affectionate at all, but the withdrawal of even those smallest things hurts. A lot ( Read more... )

Maclean and I broke up this morning. Really for reals broke up. I went, "I think it's time," and he replied, "Ok." And that was kind of that ( Read more... )

Mike and I went to counseling tonight. There's a first time for everything, I suppose. It was..... ok. Pretty much what I expected, I guess. It didn't dredge up anything that he and I haven't hashed out before, and there wasn't really much progress, but I suppose that comes with time. What did surprise me was the fact that afterwards Mike was all ( Read more... )

I keep telling myself I'm going to organize my time, focus, get motivated again, and GET STUFF DONE. I was on such a great streak for awhile there, then I took a "break" and haven't gotten back on path. I want to, I really really REALLY do, but the days slip by so quickly, and they all seem so full. I rarely even feel guilty for wasting time, I'm ( Read more... )

I just booked a mini trip to Mexico for my friend's wedding in December. It's only 6 days, rotten timing, and really quite expensive... But, why the hell not?! She's my friend and I want to be there for her. I'm sure the money won't break me, and work, well, it's just work.

I booked one flight and a room for one. I did not invite Maclean, nor ask ( Read more... )
