For those of you who still read the sad, lonely and abandoned she-said blog *tear*, I write elsewhere now...

...the moment I said it...

Drop by for a visit!

don't call it a comeback...

ok, admittedly, its been a while

i can't really even use christmas as an excuse

for the long absence that has kept me

from the lady blog...as its been 

MONTHS

since i last posted.

instead of trying to update on the previous months

how about we stick to the present

where things are good!

1. christmas and new years brought 

lots of good friends together

in our house.

doug's bro and his gf came in from calgary

and we were happy to spend lots of time

with them!

2. i've been fighting sickness for the past week,

and sunday it finally stuck.

i spent most of yesterday in bed, and drank

two huge containers of juice

now i feel like a superhero!

(on account of the sugar!)

3. last year for christmas, 

the missus got me mukluk making

classes...i kind of ditched on them

however! i spent christmas break working

on my first vamp. after near 12 hours of beading, 

here is the first one!

i shall post the progress for anyone

interested in how long it might take for

a decently busy girl to make a pair

of mukluks....hopefully i can wear them 

next winter.

4. my mac basically exploded last week

without the fire or sparks.

but, my hard drive died, so i've lost

almost everything that i've ever had.

kind of the worst feeling ever.

on that note, if anyone knows someone who

can help with CHEAP data recovery on a

mac hard drive (external, no casing)

let me know, yo!

5. i'm feeling optimistic in the new year

about work

about life

and about posting more to this damn blog

hopefully things stay interesting and the 

post will start a flowin'!

iphoto glory.

now my feet won't touch the ground...

happy fall

the drift has changed

the air is crisp at night

farewell summer, feel you next year.

life is beautiful.

i am in a space right now where i feel that i am almost too happy

like something is bound to fall out of place

or off kilter

i am perfectly balanced

centered

loved

thank you karma, i could not ask for more.

i've been going to yoga a lot lately and really enjoying it

i dream of going to a warm place, serene with foliage and beauty

to practice

open my heart

listen to my prana

i want to do this...

(thanks mb for the inspiration)

i've taken a lovah.

listen, support, and rock out

thanks for this one too mb...

it's my background on my berry!

enjoy the warmth well it lasts...

be well

bubble gumball martini is nothing like dépanneur red wine

cruel cruel summer...

i'd like to think that as winnipeggers, 

we're rewarded once a year for living 

in winnipeg with a magical and 

WARM summer

this is not the case.

HOWEVER

it did make for an amazing

red wine date with super (cape)

friends d+a on the balcony

here are some of the reasons i haven't 

posted in forever.

one.

kuno, swiss brother and lifelong friend

came and spent 39 days here

it was amazing having him back

but it made for a very very busy 

few weeks. 

we went to falcon lake with his whole family, 

went on a roadtrip to paint lake and thompson, 

and lots of other fun winnipeg stuff!

oh, his brother got married to a winnipegger!

(also, one of my dearest friends from new brunswick came to visit!

just for one day.... :'( )

erin lived in appenzell too, but instead of being a maid,

she got to attend school with kuno

...she bought this dress for real...and wears it out. love her!

two. 

concerts. i went to a ton of them this summer.

bloc party, tv on the radio, coldplay (row 18...still not as cool as 5)

and the crew of no doubt!! (love the new single)

three.

VEGAS!! 21 family members for my little sis' 21st.

crazy traveling with so many people

unfortuantely my camera died halfway through the trip!!

four.

it was this handsome mans dirty turdy birthday (aka 30th)

i'm dating an old man, and i love it (and him).

five. 

i'm now using this blog as a forum to say

i miss this lady. more hangouts.

thats all i've got for now. taking doug darling 

out this evening for a fancy schmancy birthday dinner!

peace and love peas and lurve!!!

xoxo d.

oh. p.s on a sad note, my little fishy friend 

marty mcfish floated on up to the fishbowl in the sky.

breathe.

people think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. but a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. a true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.
