Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Had a great day today. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Decorated desk, cupcakes, great dinner, a FANTASTIC night last night at a friends, many unexpected gifts and I still have lunch and a movie tomorrow to look forward to, as well as dinner with the Grapes next week! Talked to many friends and family - was fabulous. Much love! I couldn't have asked for a better day! :)

Something I was thinking about...


With your intellect, you can solve some puzzles. With your imagination, you can paint some pictures. With your anger, you can force some issues. With your prejudice, you can ignore some realities. With your fear, you can dismiss some positive possibilities. But with your heart? With your love? With your humility? With your willingness to learn? With your tolerance, understanding, forgiveness? With that, and only with that, you can be guided towards something wonderful.

My inner bombshell

A fun, and shall I say accurate (*wink*), quiz that I took today :)

You're inner Bombshell is the beautiful Audrey Hepburn. Like her you've been blessed with a "certain something" that no one could describe accurately. You are more reserved than other bombshells, and that shows in your gentle, graceful nature. You like doing things for other people and love volunteering for your favorite charity. Yours is a rare gift in this day and age. You don't need to show a lot of skin to be sexy, all you need is your eyes.

Busy weekend...


Well another busy weekend has come and gone. Time out with friends and getting errands done. It’s been great! Spent the day with a friend of mine yesterday – had lunch, shopping (found things I didn’t know I needed, and now I have ‘emJ), exploring, dinner and a movie (Friends With Money – I quite liked it, reminds us to be happy with what we have). I also got an early birthday present – warm, fuzzy and green! YAY!! Thanks again!! This was a weekend I needed after the week I had and news that I got from home…a much needed distraction.

Another busy week ahead with evenings out followed by a weekend away with friends. I’m excited! So with that in mind I am re-learning a lazy day at home. Today I am going to watch movies, talk to friends and family from home (have to remember to call mom!) and do a little laundry. The movie’s scheduled are Twister (an oldie but a goodie), Ransom (have to have the drama), Baby Boom (I remember watching this movie over and over when I was younger) and Dude! Where’s My Car (I’ve never seen it, so I thought I would – mindless comedy is sometimes a good thing).

A friend of mine gave me a song earlier this week that reminded him of me. We do that from time to time when we come across songs that remind us of the other. He “gave” this one to me. It’s called Never Sweeter by Magne F. Beautiful song…

You were never sweeter
Than right before you broke
I was never smarter
Than just before I spoke

Nothing ever happens
Just the way we plan
All of us unfolding
Any way we can

A hand that hits across the face
Reads better on the news, but
The hand can strokes you tenderly
Can leave a bigger bruise
And nothing I can say now
Will be of any use

You were never sweeter
Than right before you broke
I was never smarter
Than just before I spoke

He's breaking my heart!











Stay with me
You're the one I need
You make the hardest things
Seem easy

Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
Always keep me close

If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promise you promise that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

Don't let go
We'll dig a great big hole
Down an endless hole
We'll both go

You're so blind!
You can't save me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight

If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promise you promise that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

I wish you could see
This face in front of me
You're sorry you swear it you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

(take me) I need your help
(so far away) To pull me up take the wheel
(take me) Out from me
(so far away) Out from me

(Take me) If only you could see (I need your help)
(So far away) The stranger next to me (To pull me up take the pain)
(Take me) You promise you promise that you're done (Out from me)
(So far away) But I can't tell you from the drugs (Out from me)

(Take me) I wish that you could see (I need your help)
(So far away) This face in front of me (To pull me up take the wheel)
(Take me) You're sorry you swear it you're done (Out from me)
(So far away) But I can't tell you from the drugs (Out from me)

Keep my heart
somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
always keep me close

Niagara visit #2


Had a great weekend with a friend of mine from home. We got together Friday night after their plane landed. Lots of catching up to be done, went to Niagara Falls (they had never been - so we took a TON of pictures - hoping they turn out!), and a lot of visiting as well. It was so great to get together, talk about home, talk about life changes, and just have fun. We realized we aren't 12 anymore (which was sorta sad), when we were both not able to climb a tree that looked easy enough:) Definitely made a bit of a scene trying though! HEHE!!

Tomorrow we are going to a baseball game which should be fun! Got great tickets from my director at work, which turned out to be fantastic timing! GO JAYS! :)
