Y’know… I’m starting to get really angry with our medical system.

The eye saga continues. As many of my friends know, I’ve had some eye issues lately. All with the right eye, with symptoms coming and going, and some of the issues have led me (with a great deal of prodding by me) to a Neurologist. I even had an MRI the other [...]

The big question!

Nope, it’s not what you think.
Here’s the deal: I’m booked on a cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii for 12 nights… Leaving September 19th.
I’d normally never book on a cruise that required me to pay for two people when I’m alone in the cabin, but it’s a trip that my Dad has been [...]

Yikes! That’s a dream I’d be happy never to experience again…

What a terrifying dream I had last night. It wasn’t scary because of evil monsters, or falling off of tall buildings, or even being swarmed by yucky bugs.
No… My dream was about me suffering from Dementia. Seriously, who dreams about having Dementia? It’s was horrible. I even had a few lucid [...]

Feeling a little on the grumpy side today…

And, I don’t know why. I had a relaxing weekend, and a really nice day with my Step Mom at the spa.
I also had an impulsive trip to the casino at the last minute — Where with a small outlay, I was actually up a couple of thousand dollars at one point, [...]

Careful… You may never do any work again!

Thanks Tod… Now you’ve done it. *sheesh*
I just shared this site, which I found on Tod’s Facebook page, with my co-workers. They’re freaking out. (Okay, so they amuse easily.) And, I should have known not to share stuff like that at work!
But, it’s Friday, and it *is* a very cool site [...]

On the way to the Bjork concert…

…I was listening to Z 95.3 for a change, and was surprised to hear Buzz Bishop discussing Meg Fowler’s blog. He actually went on at length about her three top 10 lists she wrote yesterday.
And it got me thinking… Meg’s got it right. She often reflects on the little things that make her [...]

BJORRRRRRRRRRRK!

I can’t wait… I’ve been counting down the days ’til the Bjork concert at Deer Lake Park, and the day has arrived.
The concert should be a blast! I’ve never seen Bjork live, but been a fan for years — A very small part of why is due to the fact that half my birth [...]

Seriously. Does the X-Box 360 *have* to be THAT loud???!

Okay, I’m 3/4 of the way there… There being my total-home theatre experience, of course.
Except, I’m so incredibly dissapointed with the LOUD FAN NOISE that my XBox Elite puts out. Christ! This thing is supposed to be an integral part of my home theatre, and it sounds like a jet engine in my [...]

:) Diane is crazy!

I totally love my sister-in-law…
Diane’s the type of chick who always infuses character and light into any situation… When she walks into a room, you know she’s there. She’s always a ton of fun to hang out with — Life is one big celebration in her world. Last night, that was no [...]

“It’s not gonna fit.”

Bah! “Of course it’s going to fit!”
Vern stands back, inspects the car’s hatch area again. “Nope. It isn’t. There’s no way!” He glances sideways in my direction, and says, “Why don’t you see if there’s some guy in the parking lot with a pick-up truck? I’m sure someone wants to make $50?”
“Trust [...]

Another area of opportunity for me to grow…

I’m faced with a new challenge these days. One I never considered in the past, because circumstances were much different while I was in previous relationships.
It’s unusual for me to be seeing someone who has their act together, financially. (Although, I have dated very wealthy men casually.) It’s not a bad thing — [...]

It’s the MID-WEEK Socializing Game!

Hey guys! It’s that time of the week, again… Time to socialize on the fly! (And, I’ll have one of those shots in the photo, please!)
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person in the [...]

We want this candidate!

We’ve got an opening here at work for a graphic designer, and posted an ad on Craig’s List the other day…
And amung the many amazing applicants, this one stood out as a front-runner!
I’m 29, 5′7″, Asian.
Arts student, off for the summer.
Cool, Sexy, Funny, Smart.
kisses
I thought the inclusion of the photo was a nice touch! [...]

How I spent my morning…

My morning started off great! I was up early, the birds were chirping, coffee was on, and I was in a great mood. I was actually looking forward to bootcamp this morning, as I’d gotten to bed at a relatively decent hour last night and fell asleep easily.
I even msn’d Miranda, exclaiming how [...]

It’s all about the wet exits!

I had my second kayaking lesson this morning, and this time it was at Jericho Beach.
The weather report on Friday looked so promising — The forecaster exclaimed with glee that we’d have a fabulous weekend with nothing but sun and warm temperatures. I think she should have been out on the water this morning, [...]

I’m up early… Thought I’d blog!

Holy cow. I’m up way early on a Saturday morning (awoke at 7am — and remember, this chick ain’t no morning person!) and as I’ve got a couple of repair guys coming in this morning, I might as well stay up at this point.
Lisa and Rob have purchased my 42″ of plasma goodness… Along [...]

Do *not* drink-and-dial Reilly!

Unless you don’t mind the world hearing your voicemail, that is! This is way, way too funny…
Click here for D’s drunk-dialing effort last night at about 4am. I heard it this morning at breakfast with the gang and couldn’t stop laughing.
And then, Reilly posted it for the world… Because he’s mean that way. [...]

Back from the land of the minivans…

I just got back from a very long-overdue visit with Lisa tonight! I can’t believe we’ve been so long between visits…
Lisa is one of my oldest and dearest friends: Although our lives have certainly gone in very different directions (her with 3 kids and living in the burbs with a super-awesome husband, and me [...]

Friday Silliness!

TGIF, everyone! Bil sent this along to me yesterday (thanks, Bil!), and I thought it was definitely fun enough for Friday Silliness! Click on the screenshot, and explore this site for yourself. But, I warn you, it’s addictive, and best enjoyed with a beer in hand! (okay, many of you have [...]
