She's sick folks

Well, it is almost here..................... The days of sun dresses and flip flops, Sunscreen and air conditioning are just around the corner. We have had a few days of teasing but then those grey clouds roll in and put us back in our place. Well this week i intend to pull out my summer clothes and put away the winter ones. Goodbye parka, goodbye sweaters, goodbye toques and goodbye mitts. Let's pull out those fans from storage and open up our windows for the fresh summer air.

To get things started i turned on my ceiling fan for the first time Sunday afternoon. HELP!!! i think she's sick!!!!!! The buzz buzz buzz i do not remember . The hum sounds all off and i have to say i am frightened she might just spin right off!!!! Now maybe i just need to become accustomed to her again but please, i need a second opinion!! I have her closely monitored but there are visiting hours. Tues and wed evening from 6-9pm she will be available for anyone who would like to come by and tell me if a specialist needs to be called in!! Your help is needed please help a friend in need.

call me!


The crazies are out in full force

Note: Todays photos go with the quote of the day................

Like was today the day of the weirdos? I tell ya, first a man wanted a cloth to wipe up water. I walk pass again five minutes later and his friend has used this cloth to wipe the blood off his face that is oozing out from under the band aide on his forehead. GROSS!!! Well this same sketch bag then tried to kick the S@$t out of a bum. Then there was the “artist” that wanted my opinion about prisons and how would i run them if i had the power ect............ Well somehow within my incredible response i then “inspired him to write a book” HELLO!!!! CRAZY. I mean i know that what i say IS Fantastic and interesting and intelligent but really Ralph who are you kidding. That is not the end for me and Ralph though, oh no, he then gave me a napkin, yes napkin with these notes and phone numbers and stuff, a newspaper article he just happens to carry around in his pocket about some of his work or something. I don't actually know though because after he dedicated this article to me and signed it for me i figured i did not need to read it. You would think this would be the end of Ralph and his gifts but No, next he presented me with a 2005 calender “i know you can't use this but you could just look at the pictures” Grrrreat. Thanks!

Tonight is America's Next Top Model and LOST night. I will have to day as dedicated to LOST as i am i do have to say that i am getting a bit sick of all the repeats!!!!!! Hello, i am trying to convert my Wednesday night date into being a dedicated and interested LOST viewer. Help a girl out!!!

Stanley Park - pretty park


During a differnt park experience.

Love at new sight

Three for three. Not bad friends.

Months ago, many months ago i told myself i was turning over a new leaf. ( i am doing the hand action right now, mel tells me i can program some hand movement things but clearly i am not that advanced yet. I will teach you all now. Take your right hand, hold it in front of you palm facing the floor. Slowly leading with your thumb rotate your hand to turn it palm up.) Now this may seem easy at first but the problem is that you can't just turn over a new leaf right off the bat. My problem was that although my mouth had committed to the complete 180. physically and mentally i was stuck somewhere between 45 and 90 degrees. I was unable to actually rotate my hand to see my beautiful palm. I feel over the past couple of weeks i have begun to see the beauty in things had I had forgotten or been too in a rut to see.

Today i think i have fallen in love........... Vancouver is beautiful and no, it is not because i saw my bridge but simply because i opened my eyes. I went for a Rollerblade around the seawall this afternoon. I have always thought that the park is beautiful but man, it is beautiful. It is a shame they have chosen now to fix it up a bit. Well, after my friend left to turn up his street I enjoyed a lemonade and chatted with a friend on the phone before the grueling hike up the hill which kills me every time. While sipping my lemonade which by the way, was one of the best lemonades i have ever had, i realized that i am a lucky girl.

I feel like maybe my leaf today is at 110 of the way there. A few more changes need to be made and a few more challenges need to be overcome but i tell ya, i am getting there.

Infact, liked that seawall so much that after dinner I walked it again.

Of course today's good mood could simply be the sunshine warming my heart. CHEEZY!!!
tss tss tss tss.

And on that cheezy note i will leave you with today's quote. In the winter i was not in love with Vancouver. I hate how grey it gets here. Well, walking over my bridge always makes me feel better so i walked my bridge. Later that day i found a necklace with a quote on it. I like quotes. I bought as a reminder to not have to walk across my bridge to feel better.

Quote of the day:
“see the beauty that is still around you and be happy”
-i am sure someone said this but it is taken from my necklace. Bought at blue ruby.

So open your eyes. Turn over your leaf or at least get it rotating. See beauty and be Happy.
P.S. Remind me of this entry when i start to bitch or go on some rant.
Well well well, look at me go. I am here writing ANOTHER blog entry and i just wrote one yesterday. WOW! I will have to tell you that i am not too sure if this is going to be a daily blog like my mel's. I do not lead a very exciting life but for now i will keep it going.

I would like to start off with a few comments. First I would like to say that there will be NO posting of the clip on bangs. Why you might ask? well one, mel already has a video of them on her blog and second, i sent a pic to my friend trace who told me i looked ugly and i made her want to vomit. So sad so sad... NO love. However i may just have to wear them out one night so there is a chance some of you will see them. I myself LOVE THEM!!!

ALso the bruise mel is talking about is getting much better. Thank you for bringing that up. Maybe everyone (i say everyone but i know you are really only a few) would also like to know that my sunburn is getting much better due to a late night mosturization technique i have developed, my zit was popped and now much better but my freckles are just going to get worse.

Now let's talk patios. It is the season of the patio. An after work drink with co workers on the patio to unwind. An afternoon on the patio with friends just chillin. Or even an evening sipping cocktails and appy's. I only have one problem with the patio............ The purpose of the patio is to enjoy the fresh air, the sunshine, the outdoors. WHy is it that every time i want to enjoy myself on the patio i am surrounded by smokers. OK, yes, i know that we have basically banned the smokers to the outdoor patios but really. If i am eating right beside a table that is smoking it totally kills the whole scene!!! I say lets take them out!! Let's take over the patios as well!!! Whose with me folks??

Can you tell i have been around smoke all night?!

-Kraft singles commercial, my favorite commercial i might add but you have to read the quote in a cute little kid voice and sorta drop the r in growing.

OLD

Those that know me know i celebrated my 21st bday multiple times. I wasn't ready to turn 25 so instead waited until i was 25 and a half to celebrate it. This year although i did tell people it was once again my 21st birthday, i know it this time........ I am officially OLD!!!! Well WHATEVZ to old. like a good wine maybe i too will ripen with age. Maybe the phase of men wanting 18 yr. olds will end and 20 something will be HOT! Let's hear it for beautifully ripened women!!!

Our trip to Whistler started off will a small panic attack but don't worry trace, This time i did not insist the driver(mel) pull over because the car was tipping over. I was very good. I simply put my feet on the seat and tried to ignore the fact that the car was slipping, not tipping. Man, age has sure mellowed me.

We partied hard, Hit the hills, enjoyed the beauty of BC and the incredible weather we were had this weekend. I have a million freckles, a new zit and a sunburn on my 5 head. Thank goodness my friend mel gave me clip-on bangs to cover it up. Yes, i have been talking about this for months now, i kinda thought they would be made of my own hair, but still, i am going to put them to good use!!!

Great weekend. May my latest year of 21 be the best one yet!!

Quote of the Day:

"In those whom i like, i can find no common denominator; In those whom i love i can: they all make me laugh!"

-w.h. auden

And to finish, i leave you with a little sappy moment............Although i may be yet ANOTHER year older, i was reminded of how wonderful my friends are. Thank you all for making me feel special and for all the laughter always. There is no greater gift than that of true friendship.

JellyFish Glow


Taken at the Vancouver Aquarium with my mel

Blog Virgin

Alright, the peer presure or rather the presure from one peer is just too much. I am not a blogger. Infact i had not even read a blog until about a month and a half ago. Although i am now a dedicated blog reader of www.2bitstudios.com I am hardly ready to be a blogger myself.

There is also the issue of my subscribers. I will have one............................. would it not be the same thing if I just sent you an email daily mel??!!!

I feel that my first entry should be after my birthday weekend and yet here i sit typing with mel Screeming at me in the background.

Now the problem will be what to write...........................................

Alright let me write this: This blog will consist of my observations, my pet peeves, my life experiences and all my quirks, heatherisms if you will.

And now today's quote:
"i like ice cream a whole lot. it tastes good when days are hot. In a cone or in a dish. It would be my only Wish"

Vada Sultanpuss (sp??) my girl as seen on channel 23 last night.

Alright, that is all i got. This pretty pink website will be fab. Fun and sometimes Full of Sheightstaz.

O.K Mel, i hope u enjoyed this. To anyone else that may have stumbled across this come on back for the official first entry next.

Now i am done right?!
