What I didn't blog about...

Totally stealing from Diane Mandy (sorry... but you are a great inspiration!)

- I finally put away those darn boxes that were camping in my kitchen since the move last September. And all by myself.

- Witnessed first hand during a thunder storm that Moka is definitely not a watch dog. We're talking shaking dog, hiding under the blankets and whining. Yeah.

- Spent the weekend with an old friend visiting. Many drinks were had. A lot of great times. And new expressions were created and all because of Moka.

- Flirted massively with the very gay guy at the dog park. Watching the other owners faces was worth a million; it made both our day. We are becoming fast friends, meeting over for coffees and planning play dates for our dogs. He actually reminds me of a special someone that I miss dearly (Yes, I'm talking about you Nico. And you would actually make a beautiful couple... Just saying.)

- Followed the advice of a friend and bought myself some girly shoes. I am still trying to figure out how to walk properly in those... 3 inches people ! Not kidding...

A bit of this, a bit of that...

Read today:



“While women go on every diet in the world to lose weight, men have a different solution: They simply lower their belts.”



That explains so much...




And totally out of context:



What music puts you in the mood for... ?

Weekend Recap...

- Went to an Asian-Fusion restaurant, were Pad Thai and Shawarma mingled... There was something very weird about it.



- Witnessed a naked parade on bikes. A very hairy and naked guy riding his bike ? Sooo not hot.



- Went kayaking. Tandem. Realized that 2 trumpet players with equal amount of muscle on just one arm ? Not that great. We'll use singles next time.



- Bought an air conditioner. The apartment had reached 38.9C (or 102.02F) when I finally convinced myself that it wouldn't be luxury. The fact that Moka was sleeping less than a meter from the fan also helped convince me...

- Chatted via F*cebook with an old friend for 4 1/2 hours. Opened a bottle of wine after a while. Got very tipsy and said many, many things. And realized that I meant every single one of them. Even in a sober state of mind...

Playing Tag...

I was tagged by the very cool Diane Mandy to do a meme about random facts ... Which means I now need to update my site and post something. Crap...



**Just kidding ! I've been in a cheery mood since Monday for some unknown reason so humour me, will you ?




Random Fact # 1:



I have a major addiction to Goglu cookies. Addiction that I've had since I can remember. I eat them a special way and they need to be at a certain degree of moisture. I can't keep them in the house; too dangerous. And my mom just gave a family size box...



Random Fact # 2:



I have a passion for Lip Balm. Nearing an obsession, actually ! Being a trumpet player, I take great care of my lips. But unlike most players who use plain and regular balm, I always carry a wide variety of those small tubes: who knows when the weather or temperature could suddenly dramatically change ? One minute it's sunny and humid, the next its full blown air conditioning in a very dry, claustrophobic room ?? My new obsession is Jack Black's Intense Therapy Lip Balm. FPS 25, lots of Shea Butter, a tiny bit of mint and green tea. Just perfect.



I should get a discount now, right ?



Random Fact # 3:



I am now addicted to F*cebook and Twitter. I just am.



Maybe that explains why I am not posting here as much as I used to. Sorry...



I'll try do to better.




Random Fact # 4:



I am in LOVE with my new phone. Lots and lots of gadgets on it; perfect for somebody that gets bored as easily as me. And one of my favorite one ? The step counter. Since setting it on last Wednesday, I have walked a grand total of 78827 steps. That's 60.4 km (or 37.53 miles) people !!



Random Fact # 5



I'm addicted to gossip blogs. Really. I know it is very wrong to encourage such sites but I need my daily dose of other people's ''not-so-real'' life. I just need it.



Random Fact # 6



I have been contemplating buying a house for a couple of weeks now. Many people close to me are either have a baby or buying a house. And since I cannot make a baby by myself, I could certainly buy a house on my own ! But since I am on my own and since my credit rating is not that shiny, I managed to get pre-approved for a very tiny house loan. Tiny. Major fixer upper type of loan. But still. And while I am very excited about the idea of buying on my own, I have decided not to rush into things and wait for my perfect fixer upper to come along. And is it wrong that I passed on seeing a maybe perfect house just because I couldn't pronounce the name of the street ?






That's it folks !

Recap...

I know, I know; I haven't updated in a while.



I seem to get inspired in the middle of the night, when my computer is off. And then, it takes sooo much time to boost that by the time the computer is up and running, I've fallen asleep again. I also thought about writing down my ideas instead but in this digital era, finding a pen seems to take longer than opening the darn computer...



So. The last 2 weeks in recap:



- Got myself a new cool phone ! It doesn't have that swanky keyboard that I liked so much but this one actually works. A big plus.



- The death of an very old great-uncle brought back some very old wars about the inheritance of a land that never actually belonged to him. Don't they realise that they are arguing over something that was never meant to be theirs in the first place? And really, people should at least wait for the body to be cold before starting the fights. It is just plain disrespectful. There. I said it.



- Spent almost a full week with my twin sister. I miss her.

Here she is, discovering Godiva's Milkshakes...

- Reapolstered my very dirty cream colored couch. For $20 and many blisters on my palms, I now have a very good looking (in my taste anyway !) couch. I'm very proud of myself.

- Learned that I would be an aunt again ! My baby sister is pregnant with baby # 2... Hopefully, this pregnancy will be much easier on her: bedrest for 7 months doesn't look so appealing this time aound.



- After looking at my blog stats for the month of April, realized that over 2000 perverts had landed on my blog through google looking for a particular post on body parts that I did over a year ago. I say perverts because, well, the said pic is located, on average, on page 1750, which means they must have spent hours looking at pics of the said body part before landing on my site.


- Became, against my wishes, one of the fire warden for my department at work. My sexy look apparently sealed the deal...


- Did some very weird gigs. But hey, the pay is the same so whatever gets them off , works for me.



- Met the perfect guy for me. Really. But then again, I'll never be the perfect one for him so thats the end of it. But it was nice. And I know that somewhere, there is another perfect guy for me. He just needs to get is ass moving and come and find me.

And totally out of context:

I am going to be in New York City from June 22nd to 27th. On a very limited budget. Any ideas on what I should do ?

I'm in love...

Those great designers have a little shop on the corner from where I live: Jefferson Sukhoo .

I say great but I have actually never set foot inside . I have been drooling in front of their windows almost every night for the last couple of months, thought ! The thing is: I'm pretty sure nothing in their store would fit me right now and they are definitely not in my price range but I promised myself that once the weight is gone, I'm definitely rewarding myself and getting a new concert dress from them.

Because I'm worth it...

I decided to make myself a nice diner tonight. Something I hadn't done in a very long time.



On the menu ?



Giant scalops on fresh pastas, Riesling, and for desert: green tea gellato.



Yummy !

From mom with love...

My mom finally managed to give me my birthday card ! A month too late but whatever...



The card says: 'This is definitely NOT the kind I card I would normally give you but I drooled so much on it that they made me buy it...'



My mom rocks...

Night classes...

Now, that's my kind of course. Why didn't they offer that kind of class when I was a student ???

Life isn't fair...
