Stories are gifts.

How long have you been reading stories? Forever.

How many stories do you read a day? Where do you read them? How long are they? Who is in them? What are they doing?

What are you doing when you read them? What are you reading? Why are you reading it? How does the story make you feel?

What do you think about them? Where are you when you read it?

Think about it.

photo diary: wendesday november tenth twenty ten

where i got my ipad. an empty space lined with caution tape now, only a memory.

hung out at starbucks, i read apps and downloaded information to my brain. smart.

oh, to be that sweet breeze that brushes by and makes you feel warm then smile.

do you men know about this store? if i was a man i would check it out. i will, they blog.

i am addicted to where’s waldo like a child. i will find you all, wizard, scroll, wenda.

afternoon stopover in this little spot. the 420 so well hidden from daytime traffic.

i find this type of construction a joy to watch. all the little men like lego, building.

is this what my building looks like under ground? fascinating really, isn’t it?

so many beautiful buildings in our city. sometimes the sun hits them just right.

benches for tomorrow. i don’t have a poppy. war isn’t the same now as when grandad went.

the leaves are so very beautiful in the sun this time of year, look at their beauty.

these ones were so dull, their colour had been lost and the wind blew them all away.

dear this time of year, i love you. stay for a while, will you please? xo casie

popped into the most colourful store in the city, peach berserk for some sunshine.

arrived home and got this travel pack in the mail. thank you to the team at @constantbody.

that is my day in photos. i will stay home for the rest of the day now 🙂

the value of believing in yourself

I had this favourite book when I was little, actually, I still have it at Mum’s there’s no way she would get rid of our old books. It retells the story of Louis Pasteur, whose unwavering belief in the concept of germs led to a cure for rabies. I loved it, I’m sure I read it over a hundred times. I woke up today thinking about it and decided it’s time, I need to do a couple things I’ve been putting off:

renew licence
renew health card
sign up for flirty girl fitness classes (have a week pass)
call my trainer and get our sessions in order

It’s just after 8am (damn you internet almost 9’er NOW!)  and I’m heading to get all this done this morning. I can do it. What are you doing today?

Yesterday I had another date with my boyfriend Raymi. Have you noticed how I call everything my boyfriend? It helps to fill the void of not having one. I love my gadgets and my friends and they make me happy. One day I will find a nice charming tall man who loves to do nice things for me and is smart and good looking. (Bats eyelashes through the internet, hi!).

Maybe when I am in Dallas, Boston, San Juan, or LA next month I will find one. Just kidding, working/friends/sister time. Who cares if I don’t I reckon I’ve not got time for that anyway. I’m waaaaay too focussed on myself and where I am going with my beautiful mind life. (Selfish much?) NO, FOCUSED TYVM.

She gets me to take her photo 8,000 times. Cute when she asks. What people fail to understand is THAT IS US WORKING. She posted about resto we went to, it’s called BOOM. Good thing we were sitting in the bright sun because my damn-era aka camera flash broke. Had to return the bitch (warranty count: third unit). I love the warranty and this girl at Best Buy, she’s given me two new guys so far. Wonder how many I will incur in two years? Moohaha warranty is on my side here fur sure. THANKS!

Ok ok I’ve been stalling and there’s probs gonna be a line the size of Canada’s Wonderland by the time I get there. Looks like I’ll be going buck wild with Angry Birds and Where’s Waldo on iPad. Oh man I love that thing! OK byeeeeeeeeee.

Have a great day!

P.S. Did you get a ticket to RAYMI’s 10 YEAR BLOG ANNIVERSARY PARTY? It’s tomorrow night at Wrongbar. See you on the dancefloor. Lots of swag, prizes, entertainment and stuff so come.
