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 will have [...]

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 it on [...]

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, instead [...]

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 [...]

I tell you, I’m so lucky. I thank all of you for calling, emailing, and even trying to get me out yesterday (Sorry Nelson, I just didn’t have the heart to get my sorry ass to your BBQ, I hope you found someone to eat that meat you threatened to buy!) it means so much [...]

“Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Thanks Zoë, for reminding me of my favourite Goethe quote this morning.

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 better. There seems [...]

This morning I scrolled through my phone for someone to call… Because I really need a mental hug right now, and I was afraid to call everyone in my address book. They have all given me far too much already. I can’t ask for more from them. I was so incredibly happy two days ago, [...]

Who was your first best friend? My first best friend was Elyssa Durban, my next door neighbour when I was 6 in Victoria. She was a year older than me, and I looked forward to spending time after school at her place playing board games on the floor in the basement while Gilligan’s Island played [...]

Okay kids. Have a seat. Sitting now? Good. First off, Dad, I’m sorry, I don’t agree about keeping personal stuff off my blog. I know you feel that I shouldn’t talk about these things here, but that’s what my blog is all about: Me. My life. My trials and tribulations. My bliss. And, above all [...]

What a great time I had last night! Every Tuesday night, the chicks at BC Sportbikes put on a ‘Hot Chick Ride’. Last night’s started in West Van, and met up at the Starbucks in Squamish. Because the Black Beast is still in the shop, I 2-up’ed with Donna on her ‘Kitten’, and we had [...]

I’ve dropped an email/evite in your inbox! Mark Saturday, August 20th on your calendars… You won’t want to miss the Exorcism / Sacrificial offering to the motorcycle Gods that night. Oh, and the BBQ, drinks, and general festivities of course! Please let me know if you didn’t get your Evite! I either had a brainfart [...]

Well, here’s a good excuse to have a party! Come one, come all, to my place to help drive out the evil spirit from my motorcycle, the Black Beast. According to historical data about exorcism we’ll need wine, salt, a crucifix, and holy water. Also, relics of some description should be included as well (whatever [...]

She’s possessed. My Black Beast never made it out of the shop today. I got up early this morning, so that I was into work much earlier than normal so that I could leave feeling good about what I accomplished today, to pick her up in Richmond. Except, she just didn’t want to leave. I [...]

My life is chock full of drama lately. Not the least of which is the ongoing saga with my bike. I called my mechanic this morning, to find out if he had actually picked up the bike from West Vancouver yesterday, because I didn’t hear from him — He was going to swing by my [...]
