Snow? What’s Snow?

Arrrgh! Where’s the snow? The first week of December is almost over, and not a single flake has been seen by us Vancouverites! What’s up with that? That figures… the first year in many that I have decided to go out and buy a season’s pass to Cross-country ski, and it looks like I’ll be hiking for the cash outlay instead. Bummer! To get into the whole skiing spirit, I even went out and spent a whopping $300 on a jacket — wishful thinking, it seems. Really though, I actually kept the tags on, because I’m considering checking out “Sport Junkies” down in Port Moody for a high-quality used jacket. I’m sure I can save a load that way, and get something that I like even better than my new Columbia waterproof jacket. We’ll see…

My Christmas shopping is nearly done! Yay! I went out last night with a girlfriend and picked up the last of the kids’ gifts, and even picked up a really cool pink (yes, that’s right — pink!) wig for myself. I can’t believe I spent the money on it, but I just felt like a temporary change, and that was an easy way to accomplish that particular need. I think the girl at the store thought I was completely nuts as I tried on the wigs over my long blonde curly hair — everyone needs a change sometime… even the blondes! I can’t wait to finally get out to a “fetish” night with my friends, sporting my new look! Some time ago, I went shopping with a friend, and she wouldn’t let me leave the store without purchasing a long, black, latex< ??> dress for an upcoming Fetish do… I never made it out, so that dress is still sitting in the closet. It seems like quite the shame, because that dress was really freekin’ expensive! Hopefully there will be a time that’s convenient to get out to one of these nights soon. I can’t wait to experience one!

Life is finally starting to get back to normal — after not being able to eat for a few weeks (that’s obviously a slight exaggeration) from all my stresses. My stomach just felt like one big, gargantuous knot. Good thing was I lost about 9 lbs. in 2 weeks, but the bad news is that I’m sure it will all come back to haunt me as soon as I can eat normally again. That certainly is NOT the right way to lose weight! I guess I’ll just have to keep an eye on that until I lose the last 5 lbs or so that I would like to see off by the end of January. Nice time to set that particular goal, huh?

I’m getting a little ansy about upcoming projects — I have next to none showing up in the next month. That’s a little scary! Something always surfaces at the last minute, and I’m sure that this time will be no different.
