It was a great long weekend, good Canada Day!! WOOOT! The fireworks rocked. :)
Spent Saturday at Misssion Raceway park watching the brother-in-law race his 8 second "67  Camaro.
Did a whirlwind read of The Bone Cage, which was a great fictional story about Olympic athletes. Also finished Unless by Carol Shields. A deeper read, but a satisfying, ( Read more... )

I decided that I wanted a cupcake at lunch. You see, I sometimes have cravings for these things and because there is a Cupcakes franchise store right across the street http://www.cupcakesonline.com/cupcakes.php
it's only reasonable that I act on said craving.
Now I usually find these cupcakes...O.K. They're not mind blowing, sometimes they'fre a ( Read more... )

I'd love to do a nice long post, but I'm strapped for time. I'm supposed to be productive or something while I'm at work ( Read more... )

On Saturday, I had another visit from my high school pal Jenn. I skytrained out to New West and met up with her at her hotel, then we went for a nice long stroll along the boardwalk. It was a beautiful spring day. A bit overcast, but I could see clear sky out towards White Rock. After a yummy lunch at the Paddlewheeler pub (yay, bison burgers!) we ( Read more... )

I'll be going to school from 8am-1pm and then (probably) working from 2:30pm- 11:00pm Monday to Friday. At least I'll have weekends off, but that will be ( Read more... )

A quote:

If you dread tomorrow, it’s because you don’t know how to build the present, and when you don’t know how to build the present, you can tell yourself you can deal with it tomorrow, and it’s a lost cause anyway because tomorrow always ends up becoming today, don’t you see?
So we mustn’t forget any of this, absolutely not. We have to live with ( Read more... )

Stated week 2 of my yoga challenge!! So far I've managed to resist the urge to hit "snooze" and go back to sleep. Yay!
Week 2 feels a little more tricky. I don't know why, the routines are the same. ??? I just have to remember to stay focused, and not to push too hard physically. It's not just about the workout.
I had an adventure into New West on ( Read more... )

I want to post more often, but lacking a real computer throws a wrench into that plan. Instead, when I have the time to, whatever brilliant (or not) thought has evaporated...leaving me staring at a blank screen ( Read more... )
