Summer Nights

southern nights- chapter

The Rain



And the car and the house and the rings and the things
That don't mean nothing

I love To Dream

There's a castle in your head
Try and live in it always

Channing Love

Merci

Merci pour les belles chansons LebeauSerge!

1 Year Anniversary

Today marks my 1 year anniversary at my job! It was a really busy day today and I still have a throbbing headache from it...  It's true that sometimes I'm not so proud of the fact that I work for a Bank, contributing to that paperless economy I want to run away from so badly; but through the phone calls and shuffling of papers and a little swearing, I did catch myself- I took a moment to reflect on all I've learned and accomplished. I guess you can say I'm a little proud of this work year... Ok, a lot proud.

GSP

So I bumped into Georges St-Pierre at my gym today!! !!! He's shorter than I thought he would be, but still larger than life...

God I love him

Work Of Art

Work of Art is like Top Chef, but maybe even better!! Instead of culinary challenges, contestants have to compete in artistic challenges. I've only seen episode 1, but so far, so inspiring!

Thanks Sybs!

Vacation Day 2 & 3

Besides a couple of doctor's appointments and only one solid workout, I really haven't been able to stick to my vacation's To-Do List. One thing I have been doing is listening to a lot of new music; and when I'm listening to something new, I can't do anything else but pay attention to the song... and when it's really good, get lost in it:


anyway- weloveyouwinona


unfurl- katatonia


high for life- the weeknd

(heard on the radio!)

Vacation Day 1

Yesterday, I spent the day listening to music, cleaning, enjoying my balcony ... you know, the usual. The sun set and evening came and something lovely and unexpected happened: I had my very first slow dance (those ones in high school, where you stand in such a way that your hips are as far apart from each other as possible, don't count). Thank you MA for a truly memorable Monday night.

No more Perrier :(

Vacation Starts Now

I'm seriously in love with this song. It's going to play on my wedding day (just have to meet that pesky soulmate of mine...). Speaking of weddings, I'll be attending my good friend Mike's tomorrow! What a wonderful start my VACATION WEEK!!   

I love Love Songs

New Budget

Due to some unforeseen expenses this month (a wedding gift & my license plate fees), for the first time in a long time, my bank account went into overdraft today (something I probably shouldn't admit over the Internets!)... and it will stay that way until next paycheck (next week!). I can't have this happen again, so it's official, I need to budget and save. So from now on:

- No more coffee at work (save $2/day!)
- No more fresh flowers for my apartment
- No more lunches (I'm going to have to bring my own)
- No shopping (unless it's for the bare necessities or if I save up for something specific)
- Less frequent visits to my esthetician ... I cannot not see her!!  

It'll do me a lot of good to be less "material" besides, this time I don't have a choice...  

Always Good

Yesterday my friend Tza asked me how I was doing, and I responded with "always good". He then asked me for my secret...

It's true that  I'm super sensitive and, in the moment, I can easily let my feelings get the better of me... but my sadness is always fleeting and I believe that it's this same sensitivity that allows me to be open to a lot of beauty. It's there when I see a couple holding hands on a park bench, when I listen to great song, when I see Moka drooling in her sleep. It's there in that silent moment amongst friends, in my dad's art, in my mom's eyes when she's thinking about her family. Examples are everywhere, endless, and I'll always be good because of it.  

Merci Clober!
