I need some spring!!

I am trying really hard to be a good Canadian. I'm trying to force myself to believe that I like winter. It's not working.

Please....can we have some spring.

Symphony Night!

Yep...tonight I'm going to get some culture. We have tickets to the Symphony to see "Sorry I'm Canadian". I think it's going to be pretty good...and I'll get a little culture at the same time. Not to mention we're going out for dinner before hand, it'll be like a date! Now, that I can sink my teeth into....

Still to come....Kiss tribute band, Elton John, Bon Jovi....

Yes, a little mature culture is probably a good thing.

Family Day!

I have loved loved loved having today off. I seem to suffer from the winter blues, and it has been wonderful having a long weekend (with little planned) in the middle of February. I feel like it has been great for me to rejuvenate myself, get some sleep and chill. I have read there are some who are upset with this new holiday. And while it is not my intention to judge those who are complaining (who by the way seem to be the ones who already get more stat holidays than the rest of us, like both Friday and Monday off for Easter, as well as Remembrance Day), I do have to say it feels great and has been such a gift. I hope I get to celebrate it again next year! What a wonderful excuse for a recognized holiday! How many more days until spring??

Happy Valentine's Day!

While it may be corny, I really do love Valentine's Day. I love red & pink, I love the candies, I love the idea of a day devoted to sharing your love. Yeah yeah...I share my love every day, but isn't it kind of nice to have a day specifically devoted to that and to remind us to stop and share if we've forgotten? And maybe I'm a little excited about having plans tonight - dinner & a concert - but it's not just that....I think it's just about being in love. With life.

My Girlie is 16

I can't believe it....my beautiful niece turned 16 yesterday. I wonder if it amazes parents as much as it does aunts when you stop and think about how old those kiddies are that used to be so dependent. I'm so proud of my niece. I love the lady she is becoming. Happy Birthday Babe!

Concert Mania

OK....not since I was in my twenties have I had this many concerts lined up!! We're going to see Collective Soul next week (on Valentine's Day...I'm not really sure we can classify it as a Valentine celebration when we're going with a group...I'm thinking there should still be treats for me!!). We have tickets to see Elton John on the 3rd and then I'm off to see Bon Jovi on the 10th. That's three concerts within a month. For me. The girl who likes to be home, in the quiet, with her scrapbook tools and TV near by. Hope I don't overload on all this fantastic music!!

Pilates....wow!

Three weeks ago I took my first Pilates class. My abs hurt so much two days later, I could barely sneeze (and if you know me, you know I sneeze a lot!). Tonight I did my third class and while I think it might be getting a little easier, it would appear that my abs are already tender...does this mean I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow??

Look at me....I have a Blog!

Yep....I've taken the next step in my technological adventure....I actually have my own Blog. I'm thinking it will be fun and a great way to journal my daily (ok...maybe weekly) adventures. Hope I actually have something to say!
