Keep calm.....and that is all. Today is a new day, and I just need to breath. Everything will be ok.

It already is.

A wise young hunk said that when his work starts affecting the quality of his life, it's time to make a change. For him, it might be a change in jobs. For me, it's a change in attitude.

Silly and her fashion icon
I miss Marc and our raunchy sex talk that makes Sil blush

I'm missing some far away friends, so if I can swing a quick trip out to Vancouver in the next few weeks I am going to do that. I doubt I can get more than two or three days off in a row right now, but that's all I need to get a quick fix from some great friends.


 
I miss Sarah and our rain dances, our tests to see if we can get smiles outta peeps in Van. and our random dance parties.












I miss Alexis and our bananas and our laughs about stupid boys, travel, life and everything in between. 




I miss Lillee too....especially now that she loves me!
Lillee approves of this idea

If It Means A Lot To You

A Day To Remember
a new band that I'm really getting into thanks to a certain salty hunk...

Hey darling, I hope you're good tonight
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it
Tell me something sweet to get me by
'Cause I can't come back home 'til they're singin'

La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singin'

If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La la la)
If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
It might be for the best

Hey sweetie, I need you here tonight
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving
Yeah, you want it but I can't help it
I just feel complete when you're by my side
But I know you can't come home 'til they're singin'

La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singin'
La, la la la, la la la

If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La la la)
If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
It might be for the best

You know you can't give me what I need
And even though you mean so much to me
I can wait through everything
Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again
And don't you dare say we can just be friends
I'm not some boy that you can sway
We knew it'd happen eventually

La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
(If you can wait 'til I get home)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
(Then I swear we can make this last)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'

If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear we can make this last

(Thanks to Matthew for these lyrics)

Ok, so instead of bitching about the bad things that I have been writing about, lets just celebrate the good...
I don't really know the purpose of this post, but here's some pictures of people I like.....and probably
some completely random ones too considering it's 1:30 am




I have some pretty amazing friends. My Vancouverite transplant Sarah, the one person I can truly be myself with, dance in the rain, sing the Laverne and Shirley theme song and spend hours in bed together watching Bad Girls Club....and be ridiculously happy;



Kristi, one of my oldest friends, who has been with me through tough times, and I have been there during her rough moments, but having a few beers (with Jesus) and getting excited about the NKOTB/BSB tour makes me feel like I put a smile on her face, just for a moment; Candice, the most genuinely sweet person I have ever known who I have reconnected with recently, and despite her failure at a set up, we still laugh, dance and care about one another; and my long distant online/text friend/undercover lover Ashli....you, my dear, are a gem



Lindsey. My sister. She is my other half. I can't imagine life without her.

Too often I get stuck in my “rut-tine” of work, sweats, tv, bed. Even the laziest way of communication (bbm) seemed too much the past week or two and I have barely talked to my Vancouverized Silly! The past few days I’ve made a conscious effort to go for lunch with one of my best friends, plan coffee dates and yoga classes.

I spent Tuesday having beers with a few friends and a new man crush and just getting out of my house, putting on something that doesn’t have an elastic waistband was so refreshing. And needed. For me and for my dear friend who is going through a difficult time right now; just laughing, telling stores, watching a few episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm...made me feel happier and more connected to my friends.

Wednesday night I went to the Oilers game with another friend. Despite the horrendous loss, it was nice to go out, have a few beers and catch up. I always feel a little more complete when I spend time with friends.

Jeggings-My New Obsession

I love my jeggings. When leggings first came on the scene I was all "pfft those are ridiculous". Fast forward and I love leggings, especially on days off with a cozy hoodie and FUggs (fake Uggs- I cannot afford or fathom spending $300-400 on these comfy feet protectors when I can spend $30 on a super cute pair from Wal Mart, Zellers or Payless).

When JEGGINGS first came around I thought the same, and I thought they were even more ridiculous because I thought "if you want to wear jeans, just wear jeans" and "if you REALLY need to wear leggings, then just wear black leggings".

Boy was I wrong.

I love you Jeggings, I don't care what other people say about our relationship, but you are going to be in my life for a long time. You lunge with me, you stretch with me, you tuck into my boots with me, you dress up with me.




In a nutshell

Jeggings+my legs+=fashionably comfortable
