Tonight was the my last modern class. I am so very proud of myself for all the hard work I've done this year physically. I was able to do everything that was thrown in me and damn, I never for a second that being able to do a plank would EVER come in handy. Go me!

Some lovely things from my day ( Read more... )

The other evening, I spent my work dinner break taking a little field trip to Continental Coffee for one of the best latte's on the drive. You can't beat the price either, cuz you get a double 16 ouncer for just $2.85 - that's pocket change thanks to the good old loonie and twoonie. As I passed the liquor store I noticed a young man sitting on the ( Read more... )

2 things...

Thing 1: Dine out Vancouver is on from Jan 15 - Feb 1. I loves DOV, I do. If you wanna do dinner with me I'm free Tuesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings.

Thing 2: Burn the Floor. I think tickets are like um... $40-60 depending on seats. I plan to go to the Saturday night show.

Lemme know!

It's taken a while but I feel like I'm pretty comfortable dressing my body. I mean, I really do get it: my sense of style, my unique shape etc. Unfortunately one of the ways that I've coped with my size is to allow myself the adjective "cute". Not beautiful, not fashionable or stylish, but "cute". About a month ago I had gotten dressed and ready to ( Read more... )

On CBC this afternoon (gawd I love the CBC) I heard a live interview with the musician Tricky. He said something along the lines of "everyone is a success waiting to happen. That success just hasn't happened yet." That sentiment, on this particular afternoon, really hits the spot.

There is a history of trauma abuse in my family that spans generations. This legacy finds my mother entering her crone years not in wisdom and grace but in mortal combat with mental illness. This truth has touched my father and myself as well - both of us unwillingly caught in the periphery of the blast. As a result, contact with my biological ( Read more... )
