The weekend has been so nice, I don’t even mind if it rains today. Actually, I like it. I’ve got lots to get done, report, expenses etc. Off to a Jukari class at King West Fitness now. Might cruize somewhere after and car office with my computer and rocketstick.
I’d like to take a second to say thanks to the following awesome companies for being part of this weekend & my life (blog).
Let’s go.
I’ve not been someone who loves driving until now. I love grabbing the keys and hitting the open road, going anywhere I want. Today, I visited old neighbourhoods. I’ve driven a few different cars over the last few months (Ford, GM, Toyota). Really like how this baby drives, takes corners well, is nice on the highway, leather seats, sunroof, voice activated in-vehicle system. Looking forward to trying a hybrid car and also cars with more power. The SE Sport Ford Fusion has a 3.5 V6 engine, this one is 2.5L & 4 cylinder.
Used to live in the Annex when I first moved to TO. There was five of us at 613 Bathurst, here.
Went here on a date once. There was a sign that said “This is the place” and we went inside to find a house turned into a bar. It was really fun/cute. I’d like to do it again.
Been ages since I listened to 102.1 The Edge. Was full of greatness today.
Bellwoods looked bare.
Am I bad for camera driving? I wasn’t texting or tweeting.
Used to live on Manning at Queen too. That was a crazy time. Moving out of that hood was good.
I always used to go here for breakfast. Had a birthday there once too. Sad it burned down.
Love this big bag from Nella-Bella’s Melbourne Collection. Thanks TAREK! Great travel or overnight bag, fits all my gadgets, products & toiletries. Colour is great for summer, which I hope get’s here soon.
P.S. Some friends just launched a blog for the startup community in Canada called Maple Butter. Maple Butter brings meaty how-to’s, case studies and reports from people on the front lines of successful startups. FOUNDERS UNITE!
Had ice cream at Ed’s Real Scoop in the Beaches today. Chocolate & homemade. So good. I useally go for chocolate, nothing to fancy or with accessories.
Carly gave me the great suggestion. Y’know Carly? She’s my friend/agent/blondetourage blog babe who moved to Florida last year and she’s COMING BACK this week. Yay.
Gonna go driving to this album tomorrow. So many good songs.
I was creeping Jack White… Did you know he is Scottish, Polish and Canadian descent. He’s quite fascinating if you don’t already know.
This was a funny comic to get today, right after a wedding and all. Cheryl & Jared had cheesecake. It was good.
Tonmorrow I’m checking out all the nerdy tech stuff about this Ford Fusion. Maybe a car wash too.
I have the Fusion Sport, black leather interior, 2.5L. Fun car to drive. I really like cars. Grew up hanging in the garage with Dad. He builds hot rods. Had his own shop in Cambridge when I was growing up, “Toys for Boys”. Saw this today and thougt of you Dad.
The Beaches are so pretty. Reminds me of where I grew up. Old houses, tall trees, narrow streets, sidewalk stairs, front porch.
If I had a car full time I reckon I could live in the East End. (OMG, did I just say that?) Queen West hipsters move to the East End when they grow up right? haha
Would be rad to build/reno an old house here. Fantastzed about that today, my car, my house, my street.
I see my house and so can you. Dude at Amsterdam said this building on left is going to be a Loblaws. Saw a super old pic & Loblaws has owned it since before any other this stuff was built.
I need to change the clock it’s not on Spring daylight savings yet.
Vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom baby!
Wedding was lovely. Took over 300 photos, so…you’ll see this dress a few more times I reckon.
Can’t wait to wear it all summer too though. Both our dresses are from Bicyclette. So many geat things there if you ever need to find something. They get new stuff all the time too. Paige picks out all the clothes. Price isn’t bad either, both dresses together came to about $300.
The lovely Kristy & Miss Sara Baker w/ us.
The happy & awesome couple 🙂 ♥
Our wonderful dates Luke & Bonga.
If you are my friend or were at the wedding & want pix email me [email protected]. Everyone else, enjoy this short love story I made last year.
Bon weekend!
Dresses from Bicyclette on Queen.
Best friends & dates Luke & Bonga.
Besties.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend!
Didn’t need my alarm to wake up this morning, bounced right out of bed about 7:30am. Today is gonna be long and exciting.
Cheryl’s wedding is at 3pm in Kitchener and I’ve got a heaps of things to get done before then. Dress is really pretty & from Bicyclette on Queen. Cruised over there with Jenie yesterday in my fancy new Ford Fusion. Sunroof will be fun for driving/singing in the sun today.
Gardener is closed for the weekend, very quiet.
I can’t believe this day is finally here. It’s like, really intense man. Cheryl and I went to Australia together and were BFFs through college & uni. Mega reunion, biggest oneof my life so far. We’re all staying at the same hotel too.
Cheryl has the same orange/blue ring tattoo on her right hand.
Took Keri & my sis to dinner and Bridesmaids last night. Really good movie. So funny. I’m enjoying having a car & cruising around. Will feel great to escape the city. I need break from this crazy place.
Mum, I wish you were here to be at Cheryl’s wedding today. I will give her my love for you. ♥
The sky looked really cool last night. Very Gotham.
Ok, go time. Have a totally awesome day 🙂
The Lou Dawgs patio was so hot yesterday. The sun was warm too.
It was 12/1, girl/guy ratio. Oh yeah, love it. We were hecking passers by. Well, mostly I was. lulz
Only guy was Darryl himself!
Jenie & I chatted about life. Reflected on our awesome day. (Hair cut on Tuesday, it’s long!)
So glad I took out my nose ring. Kabbalah string broke in later in the day.
Didn’t get poutine (for once) opted for a healthier chicked salad wrap. Very good.
We gifted out leftovers to a homeless guy. Wearing new mala beads w/ black onyx stone. Gift send to me from Tiny Devotions. You’ll be seeing more of them this summer.
Say hello to @thegingerjoo, she’s a bossy boots, sassy pants Ginger. Love Jooooooo!
Cutie pie Jeanine 🙂
Say hellooo to my other friend Susur Lee.
Something was bring filmed outside his resto.
That’s all for now kids. Let the weekend begin! Hoping keri says yes to going to Bridemaids with me. Reckon perfect start to Cheryl’s wedding weekend. Stoked to go home & see Dad tomorrow too. Driving this Ford Fusion for the weekend. Check me out ‘eh.
Goal is no towing and NO parking tickets! Wish me luck 😉
Quite enjoy this feature though. Training wheels for parking haha.
THE RAPETURE, #FTW!
After a lovely afternoon shopping the cruising Queen Street yesterday, Jenie & I went to #nerdlearn hosted by The Working Group at The Burroughes building. You know how much I love nerds and events with hashtag titles.
The panel was talking mostly about Rails, we only caught the end.
I love this space. Old, bright & beautiful. Hosted Puma Social on the 6th floor few months back.
Packed house. Such a nice office. Great job on the renos team!
Team TWG/babes Andrés & Jon Lim.
Props to TWG’s Dessy who made these awesome shirts.
So cute.
This was the first nerdlearn event, more to come. I think it’s a great idea & amazing space. Nice job TWG!
