My new hair!


Here's my new short hair! I like it... and I don't. I miss rocking a pony tail... and gosh knows what I'm going to do for Derek's sister's wedding on Sunday? Perhaps I'll see if it curls with some good diffusing and a salt spray?


Love you all!

Blogging from the salon

Something today made me decide to chop my hair! I was feeling a little bored with my hair lately - and I had a scheduled hair appointment to touch up my roots, so in one fatal swoop, I allowed my stylist to chop off 7 inches of my hair.

I'm waiting for my foils to set, so I figured I'd bang off a quickie. My hair still has a few inches to lose once the foils come out, I'm nervous as my hair hasn't been short since 2003.... Which I hated - so I'm nervous about this time. Ill take a photo later tonight.... If you're lucky.

Anyways, enough about me... Actually, this blog is all about me, so I'll continue.

Life is amazing right now. I can't even imagine it getting much better. I can truthfully say I love going to work every day, and I love coming home to my new roomate after. I'm blessed to have what, and who I have.

We have a jam packed weekend featuring Derek sister's wedding, and a No Doubt concert. I'm so excited for the wedding and all the fun stuff surrounding it. They've been planning for 18 months - and its almost scary how fast its gone by. We have a clock at work that is counting down the days, hours, minutes seconds and millaseconds until the Olympic games hit vancouver (or should I say steamroll) I think we have 216 days left but MAN are they flying by........ Its like watching the minutes, seconds and millaseconds in your life fade away. Because technically, anf genereally speaking there are quite a few people who will Die on that very day next February - and that clock is literally ticking down until their demise... They could sit there and watch it all go by. Thoughts for thinking.... Thiught for thinking....

Anyways its time to go

Indeed... I am surprised.


At 25 years of age, thanks to the Internet, I didn’t think much would surprise me anymore… I was wrong

  1. I am surprised that two boys could live in an apartment for five years, without cleaning out or ever opening a cupboard of food that the previous renters had left behind. I am surprised by the smell of five year old food, and I’m surprised how much scrubbing to took to remove the stains left behind.
  2. I am surprised by the colour of the water after you clean the carpets of an apartment that has only been vacuumed a handful of times in 5 years. I am also surprised by the amount of gunk I had to clear out from the carpet cleaner every five minutes (despite me vacuuming the rooms several times beforehand) (don’t worry mom – your cleaner is fine)
  3. I am surprised by how much stuff my boyfriend owns… which is now piled into my garage. I would not be sad if a thief came and accidently tossed out several boxes of old magazines/CD’s. I have a sneaking suspicious they may be ‘stolen’ next weekend….
  4. I am surprised that I love my boyfriend just as much, if not even more, despite the fact I have spent the past four days with rubber gloves, bleach and a chisel cleaning out his former apartment.
  5. I am surprised that the boys managed to get their damage deposit back.

Despite how much work it took to move, it was completely worth it. Der and I fit well together…. I’m sure we’ll have our moments (like when he forgot to take out the garbage this week… despite me leaving a note) but I believe we’ve started a beautiful thing.


And as per usual, my apologetic note:
June flew by, I’ve already been at my new job a month, and July is so busy that it’ll be over before I know it. I’m sorry I’ve been so negligent, I need to get out there with my camera – but at the moment the battery is dead and I’m unable to find either of my two chargers.

I’ll take lots of photos though once I find one of them – and post them for your viewing pleasure. Because I know you all only read this blog for the photos.
