today is friday

sometimes life is hard and it doesn't go your way, but happiness is a choice.

i leave ottawa and my brother (which is very sad) for vancouver my home, there are mixed feelings but i have decided that today i will be happier than a bird with a french fry.

happy st. paddy's

i hope you all have a terrific st. paddy's day today. it is bright and sunny in ottawa, but i'm in a house full of sick people so there won't be much partying here. hoping to enjoy some baileys and maybe some other refreshments with my brother and his wife this evening. i leave on friday to go back to vancouver, it all went by so fast. trying to treasure every last moment here...

also humourous

funny funny funny

read this funny commentary on Weight Watchers recipe cards, circa 1974 my sister in law and i were in stitches laughing so hard!

summer blonds

i like blond hair :P and at the moment i can't wait for summer. it is so sunny and bright in ottawa at the moment, and i love it! i went to the store yesterday in a little skirt and wasn't cold at all, it was wonderful :)

i just watched "he's just not that into you" again this weekend. i love Gigi from the movie, she's adorable!! love her clothes, hair and slightly psycho personality :)

mike and ida's

my sister ida bought a house a little while ago with her man mike. they have one of the cutest little boys ever seen, luca and this adorable house. i love it!!! it's hip, modern, with a ton of vintage finds throughout. :)

inspire

it is funny how something so simple as a stylized picture can trigger something great. these pictures of women looking off and being on their own makes me think about my life. they remind me that it is important to take time by yourself and re-assess what i value and what i want and need and what i am striving towards. as well they are just beautiful pictures :).

blondie... i like your style

i want to do something fun!! i am going to go to the hairdresser's this week and go blond and short, kind of like blondie here. :)!! fairly stoked, hoping it looks as good on me as it does on her.

peace

"My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9

this verse is my ultimate comfort when i do not know what decision to make or where my life is leading. i am deciding what and where to study in september and everything is up in the air. i get quite anxious about this, but when i am anxious i think about this verse and in it i find peace.
