it’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood

Cleaned room yesterday. New vintage desk by my window looks out over the lake and into the sunshine across the island. Prefect spot for sewing,  drawing, writing, creating. Hot coffee and in a flash off to Ikea. New bed in my future, today is the day. Clean sheets make for a good sleep. Meeting cute boy in the afternoon hope he says yes to a park hang. Wanna lay in the sun, the grass. Makeover last night on my Tumblr blog. Go look, it’s a collection of pretty photos thousands long and over 100 pages. I like pretty things. Don’t you? Ok, out the door and of the the land of allen keys! Enjoy the beautiful day!

all the better to see you with my dear

Matchstick & Maybelline sent me this massive tank of makeup about a month ago. Graciously shared heaps of it with girl friends cause there was so much. Really love the XXL PRO Curl mascara, makes my lashes massive. It is one of thse double ended ones with the white stuff you put on before the black stuff. Vibrating mascara is still my fav but this is a close second.

there is no right and wrong. there’s only fun and boring.

I usually leave the house around the time the bank opens downstairs. No matter how I felt waking up, getting ready, taking photos or leaving the house, I leave the block feeling happy after I see them. Big smiles, happy to say hello and wave sending good vibes. I hardly go into the bank, when I loose my card several times a year. I actually go into the bank to do things I could do myself just for the fun conversation. Today’s Little Outfit: tartan tube dress, Le Chateau 10 + years ago GAP cardigan mirror locket, Bang On Saddle shoes, Aldo The conversation, that’s why I love twitter. I talk a lot and I’ve never been able to talk to so many people in so many places so often at the same time. How amazing is that? It’s amazing. Just ran into Norwayne ‘blogging?’ he says. ‘Yes love, writing today’s story’ I reply. Across the bridge and through the park all the way back to the internet. All into my blogging & walked past Tims AGAIN. Logging. Wish I went jogging, but I don’t. I think I won’t, cause I don’t feel like it! Have and awesome day. I love you, I really do. Don’t be shy to comment. Conversation is fun xo

i hope you don’t screw like you type.

This was meant to go up yesterday but my site was hacked! I had a mini heart attack but then my friend played doctor to my blog baby and now she’s out of emergency and recovering well. Thank jesus! Lovely walk to work this morning. Played in the park for a min. Got a coffee. Wore suede boots even though its raining, its so slight not enough for wellies. Getting really excited for Florida in two weeks. Came home last night and kinda wished I had a BF, that thought was gone when I woke up. Gonna do some zoeyng tonight. Have a shirt to make and a vest. Mum gave me heaps of pattern books from the early eighty’s and all that stuff is in style right now. Just ran into Daniel. He said ‘hi Magical’ I know he means it. That little minute meeting gave me a dose of inspiration and hazaaaa that resembles wheat grass. Pleasure seeing friends that are doing well and doing what they love at the same time. i was so inspired in fact that I kept typing and walked right past Timmy Ho’s. Good thing there’s at least three on my way. Blind Melon ‘No Rain’ is playing as I walk by Jack Astors on John Street. There is inspiration everywhere. There is inspiration everywhere! I love this song.

well aren’t you happy

Said the lady at the passport office as I zipped through the line with my VIP pass. I got the Mayorship on Foursquare the moment I walked in the door. It was my second check-in there, last time I waited heaps long only to find out that my passport was too expired and I needed a different form. That’s how I got the special pass. I heard a snarky, “urgh, we waited an hour” as my smiling face skipped to the counter in under 2 minutes. The lady at my counter, bless her grumpy soul, had the buggiest eyes I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stop staring. I wished her a lovely day, however, my cheer didn’t seem to affect her. She didn’t affect me and now I’m off to work feeling great. Dad gave me a Timmy Ho’s giftcard so I got a nice brekky today and thought of him. Arriving at work early and ready for a great day. Happy Monday!

happy mothers day to you and your mom

Visit from Jenie this morning! Finally cleaned room and put away the damn clothes. Taking Mum and Dad copies of of us in the paper, parents love that stuff. Really looking forward to home cooking. See you soon Mum! Thank you for having me 🙂 I love you. xoxo This is being sent from the QEW going about a hundred km via phone. Ha!

one of these guys is a needle in a haystack

If you go outside… I had a fun time last night. Hit up the Silver Dollar with Raymi and danced the night away before gettin’ sendy and heading to The Beaver. She’s got heaps of pix, my damn camera DAMERA is still broken. Found a diamond in the Queen Street rough last night, a handsome boy that when you google him, only brings up his work; he’s lawyer and doesn’t FB.  That’s hot. Yeah, I creep people when I meet them. Don’t you? DUH! Try it, it’s a fun game. Only bad thing so far is he lives on the same floor in the same old building as an ex. Poteltial awkardness x 1,000,0000,0000.  Working on posting sketches and poems to tumblr today. I’ve got about 1,000. Birthday is wonderful so far. I feel very happy and lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people. Cheers to THAT!

i had strawberry shortcake for breakfast, she was cute

Thanks Sabrina for my favorite kind of cake that I’m going to eat all day. She’s real tasty. One of my favorite things about bday is getting cards from friends. This one came special delivery from Bean town! Found $5 on the ground. Thanks universe. I made it out of the 27 club, hardly and bruises too! Time for a bath and an afternoon nap like a little old lady. [I was dreaming when I wrote this. Update: 2 hours later, The Fugutive just started on History Channel. Love this movie.  Saw it in theatres with Mum. I’m still on the couch with internet. ] Thanks for all the bday wishes guys. Are you supposed to msg everyone back on FB? I guess that would be nice. I’ll try to do that. Ecards are lovely, especially hand made.
