it’s great to be alive

Watched Glee last night, ok, funny but too much singing is a no for me. I get annoyed. Watched Eastwick too. Picasa new download, face recognition through Google now. Whoa, awesome.First official day of waking up to a new view in a new house and I love it.

Last time I lived this close to water, with a view (besides living on the opposite side of this building) I was in Bondi Beach, Australia. It was a very, very happy time in my life. I feel like I’m revisiting that happiness again.

Made this from my bed:

2000 small acts of kindness one big difference

I would like to take a minute to remind you ALL that tomorrow is Pay it Backward Day. I’ll be at the PIB headquarters as Chief Firecracker located at Second Cup, Queen & John (across from Much Music).

However, if you can’t make it there, find one of the 170 locations across Ontario. Finally, if you can’t make it to Ontario, you can still take part by making a donation through the secure donation form on the Daily Challenge site.

Pay It Backward Day

This time, our goal is to raise $10,000 for the Sick Kids Foundation in less than 12 hours.  Second Cup will donate $5.00 to the cause when you buy the person BEHIND you in line a coffee. In April, we had over 600 people take part in about four hours. I KNOW we can do this.

Flow 93.5 will be broadcasting live, Metro news & Notable TV will be there and MANY other cool do-gooders.

Last time I got asked out on a date by a total hunk so you never know what might happen!

See you tomorrow 🙂

high heels and moving furniture

Had a good sleep, feel rested. Fun weekend. We went antique shopping yesterday and found some jems. They need to be photographed before I tell you about them, they’re really that good.

Rode the street car to work in the rain this morning. It was packed like sardines and I had some young guys armpit in my face for half the ride. I wore my Wellies and a rubber coat. I love when it rains,  I love wearing rain gear.

The best thing about us moving on a rainy day is not going outside. We get keys to our new unit tonight; better view, higher up, more space.  I’v managed to avoid a case of the Mondays and am quite looking forward to the rest of the day. That’s all for now. Have a great day 🙂

Twitter is a great for communicating directly with anyone or to a large audience. Here’s  an example of someone famous saying something and another famous person’s famous blog with me in the middle.

Last night, Dita tweeted that ‘when russian hookers fight, they take off a shoe and throw it at their foe. FYI.’ I was like whoa man that’s crazy and replied ‘you’re at a hooker fight?’ Then she replied.

`

Today Perez Hilton posted about Dita and ‘the fight’ mentioning her response to ME.  Didn’t link back to me but whatever,  the tweet lasts forever 😛 Thanks to Pam for pointing it out, rarely read Perez anymore. I’d loved Dita for ages and think that’s pretty cool.

p.s. Check out in the latest Notable TV video from TEDxTO. Me and my outfit are at 2:46 🙂

the best eight minutes of your life

Sabrina and I have been known to do the the occasional social experiment. In our experiments we try out social situations outside the usual routine, tonight is one of those nights.

We’re going speed dating!

There’s a couple of us going and it’s sure to be a hoot. I have no idea what to expect but it will be an experience!

Must get ready now! Starts at 8:30.

The Report:

I slowly sipped one beer and scored the  most comfortable seat in the corner. The three of us sat beside each other and it lasted about two hours. The guys went around in about five minute increments and chatted to each of the dozen girls.

There were some weirdo’s and a couple nice ones. Only one guy lived downtown. I reckon the downtown people just go out.  Not really my scene but and interesting one, social experiment complete.

We left right after and didn’t stay for the comedy show. It was my first time at The Comedy Bar on Bloor and honestly, it really smells like someones bum in that neighborhood.

a productive means of communication

It’s Friday, thankfully. I feel like this week is a month…

I got mad yesterday. Really mad. It was like everyone who crossed my path was out to make me angry and it worked. I’m a pretty happy girl as you know but I just couldn’t fight it this time. Also, someone in my office keeps tipping off my boss about me being on Twitter… not fun. I’m productive. I get my stuff done here. I don’t understand why someone is out to get me! Gah. Perhaps she should spend her time looking up erp software so everyone ELSE can be more productive too? Sheesh. She would be better off looking up a manufacturing software even though that’s not our business.

Lots of packing to do this weekend before moving next week. Gonna need some help as my back seems to have two fractures in it.  I need an MRI now. Tragic, I know.

I feel like watching the Breakfast Club or Annie Hall and curling up on the couch. Something to make me feel good. The air outside is cool and breezy,  my dress blows pretty in the wind.  I miss summer vacation.

Is it 5 yet?
