Here’s a quick topic for a Monday!
What do you think your capacity for change is? Do you regularily try to grow and develop (and look back often to learn from mistakes made), or prefer to stick with the status quo? What precipitates growth and development in your life? When you do make [...]

I’ve definitely had a weekend that has made me think.
And, think plenty.
Friday night was fun heading out to paint the town red with Jen, Courtney, Chelsea (and Vern for a little while — At least, until he left, anyhow). Had I not ‘enjoyed’ so much wine later in the evening at Sonar, I definitely [...]

Before I get to “FRIDAY SILLINESS” — I’m currently planning a half-day spa adventure for all my female companions out there. Here’s the deal… Get a bunch of girls together, take a half day off work on a Friday afternoon and head down to “Flaming June Day Spa” (Click here for the website) for [...]

Here’s the new cut — I haven’t had time to re-size the rest of the cutting photos, but this is the end result. I’m still not convinced this colour is right for me… Although I do believe Aron did a great job. I’m thinking I might have to lighten it up a bit [...]

More photos to follow… but wanted to share this entirely too funny photo with those that were curious about how much I got cut!!

More tomorrow!

Because my nerves are shot, I decided to have some sake with my sushi. Yes, it’s now t-minus 28 minutes before I go and get a whackload of hair chopped off.
Funny thing was, when lunch came, I wasn’t hungry. I had 3 pcs of california roll, and that was all I could manage. [...]

I’ve given my notice… I’m moving out.
Damn, I didn’t even get to make good use of the balcony (all 550 sf of scenic goodness) during the spring and summer as I’d hoped. But, the opportunity to have my own place for the first time in my life simply can’t be passed up.
So, the next [...]

Over the next little while, I’m going to post a Coles Notes version of several books I’m reading on singlehood, because I think all of us single people could use a little help, and some positive reinforcement. I’ll keep these overviews short, and to one particular topic — And I’d love to engage everyone, [...]

This Thursday afternoon, at precisely 2:30, I will be sitting in a stylist’s chair at Sukis on Robson, losing about 5 or 6 inches off my current head of hair, and completely changing the colour and style.
Scary stuff!!!
What’s even more alarming, is the fact that both the senior stylist, and the senior colour technician, are [...]

Ya’know — I had almost forgotten how much Corree loves food. At least, until we went to IGA to hunt and gather dinner and snacks for our sleep-over-movie-night. I think this one line says it all: She’s standing and reading a package of gyoza, while the deli clerk is loading us up on [...]

Okay, okay… I forgot. So sue me. Here’s your stupid Friday video: CLICK HERE
Forklift safety, German style. Enjoy!

*Jumping around, waving hands in air, glee-sounds coming from my mouth*
Just over a month ago, I incorporated a number of comment spam-eliminating initiatives on this site to reduce the number of more-than-annoying-and-definitely-problematic spam that was driving me crazy on a daily basis.
The result? After a slight adjustment in my code the second day in, [...]

I’ve finally decided to stop being such a chickenshit, and I’m changing my hairstyle… Really, I’m going to do it this time. It’s time to change, and I’m prepared with a box of Kleenex, so it’s all good. This is a really big step for me because my hair is my security [...]

I’m going through one of those phases in my life where, although I have friends I truly adore, I only have one close one. (Betcha can’t guess!) I’m not feeling sorry for myself, because I know I’m very lucky to be surrounded by some amazing friends, but I somehow feel like I need [...]

Saturday night, while visiting Disneyland for the day, and during the magical Fantasia show, my brother proposed to his long-time sweetheart, Diane.
She, of course, said “Yes”!
YAY! Those two are such an incredible couple, with so much love for each other, that this could simply be the only natural next step. I’m so excited [...]

Snowing, again! Glorious snow… Yay! I took a few photos from outside my bedroom door at the patio (which looks very white, and is hiding the fact that I haven’t been out there to sweep it in a long time. Wait a minute, do I even own an outdoor broom?
I’ll post the [...]

When I’m done with thinking, then I’m done with you
When I’m done with crying, then I’m done with you
When I feel so tired, then I’m done with you
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way-
And I do
You can’t hear it, but I do
You can’t hear it, but I do
You’re trying to convince me that [...]

Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play
She said I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed [...]

I’m certainly not having a good computer morning. First my sites are down, and my email down with it (I am getting my hosting company to finally move my site over to another box this weekend, as I’m done with dealing with this shit.)
And then… Windows updates are purely evil, evil I tell you.
Christ, [...]

My world officially is about conferences and more conferences.
All I can be thankful for is my headset. I am, once again, scheduled wall-to-wall, up close and personal-like with the conference bridge today.
Zoiks.
My last conference today (over lunch I might add) was pretty funny, actually. My CEO had started the meeting and there were [...]
