I’d forgotten. It’s been so long since I’ve been sick. Other than the occasional migraine, and my motorcycle accident in May, I haven’t actually been ill in about a year now. This completely sucks! My life has been on hold for four days now, and today I decided that was quite [...]

We watched “Motorcycle Diaries” tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed it. (Even though I coughed through most of it)
Set in 1952, the plot contains the adventures of two friends — one 23, the other almost 30, being schooled as medical professionals specializing in leprosy, who decide to go on an 8000 km trip for four months: [...]

You know how I often say I really don’t like dating? In fact, I’ve gone further and said, I don’t even like the term, ‘dating’? Well, I’ve had a change of heart! I have now decided that I do like dating… Dating is fun. I’ve met some really neat guys [...]

No, not in the head.
I can’t stop coughing. My sinuses are fine — It’s so weird to have a bronchial infection without a cold first. My chest and ribs hurt a ton. I really hope these antibiotics kick in soon…

Thanks Lorelei, Darren, J.R., and Stef for coming by this afternoon! It was so awesome to visit with you guys. I can’t believe how time flies — We must get together more often. Lor, I’m really looking forward to a sleepover with you soon, because it’s been too long, chickie. I [...]

Hurt’s a funny thing. It grows slowly in the pit of your stomach, flushes to your face, and then washes your soul with sadness. It moves over you like a storm, chilling you to the core. It’s so extremely hard to shake when the feeling has been initiated by the actions of [...]

How thankful am I that it’s Friday? I can’t even begin to tell you. I’m really tired this week, because I’ve picked up Vern’s bronchial infection. No, we weren’t kissing. He just coughed on me. Alot. Without covering his mouth.
My doctor looked at me today with chagrin. He [...]

Please tell me, that I’m not the only one with this reaction to Depo.
Every 3 months for 4.5 years now, this has been an *issue*. Come on, girls — I’m sure you know what I’m talking about? Except, tonight, I believe, is the first time I’ve had to deal with this without an, [...]

Let’s talk about single-living bad habits! I’ll admit two things… I have a nervous/bored habit of picking my toenails when no one is around. Gross huh? You think that’s bad? I used to BITE my toenails whenever I got out of the bath or shower. Nowadays, looking back on that [...]

You. Must. Go. See… “40 Year Old Virgin” — Far too funny! My gut hurt when I walked out of the movie tonight! And, I got to see it for free, to boot! How can you go wrong with that?
Well, I did have to wait 10 minutes for the projectionist to fix [...]

I had a really nice lunch with my Dad today. He came down to see my office for the first time, and then we enjoyed a nice lunch and talk at the Keg.
We don’t do that enough. I love my Dad.
…And now, I must get some serious work done.

I recently had a conversation with a friend which reminded me about one of my most important mantras: Live my life with my dreams upfront and centre — Live each day with the goal to make my own reality happen. I’m a strong believer of having confidence enough in your dreams to make them [...]

The BBQ was a success, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Hopefully the holy water and the sacrifices pay off — Doing an exorcism without the bike present (as it’s still in the damn shop) was certainly a challenge. I’m still a little dissapointed that we didn’t get Vern on the [...]

This is an interesting dilemma for a single chick… I enjoy cuddles. It needent be sexual at all. I simply crave emotional closeness with someone I care about. I’ve recently discovered, when I am single, it’s difficult to have this need fulfilled without the other person reading too much into it.
Let’s clarify [...]

I just have to say: Today I laughed out loud several times. About stupid things that everyone else just sorta grinned at… I laughed.
That’s a good sign!
I’m feeling much better today. No mood swings, no second-guesses, no anger. My “SINGLE LIFE IN VANCOUVER” will now commence, and I’m ready to take [...]

I thought this blog entry by Wise Diva on “Misadventures in Atlanta” was an interesting one: Click here to read the entry.
Made me think… Who was my Golden Parachute? (Without the sexual interaction that the story discussed) Who was the first one on my “I have to call ‘this person’ because they [...]

“The Great BBQ Hunt”™, which had such great potential for success last night, was ultimately a failure. (Hmm, that word is coming up a lot on my blog these days) Vern and I left from the rowing club last night, with a skip in our step, ready to pick up a BBQ for [...]

Cor, you kill me. Thank you for the daily reminders! I can’t stop giggling this morning!
Man, it’s the little things in life that really make your day, isn’t it?
I guess getting 9 hours of sleep really help. I shouldn’t have gotten that much, but I accidentally turned off my alarm this morning, [...]

I woke up this morning at 3:15, feeling very sad. I know it’ll pass… (I’m sorry though, Vern, I’m not relishing the pain — I can’t.)
While awake (and, it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting any more sleep tonight/this morning) I was wondering if I should be so open on my blog about my [...]

Wow, what a terrific row I had tonight. Thanks Andrea! That rocked. We kept our pace up the entire night, and we both had sweat pouring off of us by the time we were bringing the shell off the water. Awesome!
I’m looking forward to getting to know the Open Program people [...]
