lay down in the grass and feel the sun on yo face

I always know the start of summer from two distinct things: The first time I have Chippy’s on the grass in Trinity Bellwoods The first outdoor Drum Circle in the pit at the back of Bellwoods Last night, I experienced both. My fish and chips never tasted so good as I got my hands dirty and wiped the grease on my sleeve. It was magical. The sun was shining down on my face sending vibes of energy so bright I could not help myself from just laying in the grass and soaking them up. Welcome summertime, I’m happy you’ve arrived!!

iBONG says: staying up #toblogganin?

Yeah, totally. Must hashtag that. #iBONG says: #stayingup #toblogganin? Karaoke at the Gladstone Hotel was great fun. SO many photos and videos. Uploading to flickr and vimeo now.  We had quite an afternoon at the pool today. Watched the storm over the water. It was magical. Heaps of pix of Jenie & I in bikins etc. Awes0me. I love summer. Heading to pick up my Edie Dress now for dinner this evening. Forgot yesterday was overwhelmed with relaxing at home. The wind outside is madness right now. Sabrina and I are gonna walk. I’m looking for a latte, probably Dark Horse.

vacation in balconia

I walked part of the way today. So sunny and mild. Woke up early. Wore a summer dress, one that’s good for biking. The tower in the sky looks beautiful. I love when kids wear fake tattoos. So funny. Was busy in the sketch book last night. I had an art attack. This is one of about 5 new babies. I play Mario Kart on the streetcar, mostly on Fridays. I never see girls gaming but I think it would be cute if I did. Lots of work to do today. Wore my Wellies, we might get a thunderstorm. I’m undecided on my feelings about Breakfast Television and CP24. I like Frankish and Dina but the CP24 news/weather/traffic etc. all on one screen is so convenient. Its going to be really nice out. I can feel it already. I’m listening to my blip.fm station. Good tunes on there. I’m DJ Basketcase.

go fly a kite, a huge one

I’m really looking forward to summer as I always do this time of year. I’m definitely a summer kinda girl. H and I went to the beaches this weekend. It was awesome to put my feet in the sand. It was really relaxing to take a stroll on the boardwalk in the sun (and wind). There were heaps of people out from the TO Kiting community. Kiting is really hard. Last summer I went with ‘kiter’ friends up to North Sauble for the weekend and I didn’t even get in the water. Just handling one of those big units is tough work. I went on my friends back while he was kiting and we totally got some air. It was awesome and scary at the same time. I loved it.

where’s the beach?

I’m stoked that the weather is warming up, finally! The sunshine was beauty this morning as I snapped this photo of my favorite phallic structure in the world. I’ve also been getting ready for bikini season and trimmed up. I posted in January that I was getting ready to have a fit and healthy bod for summer. I got a message from TOsunshinegirl on Twitter that they would love to have me grace the pages again. I reckon I just might do it!
