To start...new hair color! YIP!


Now we had another amazing weekend as always. Breakfast in bed on a Saturday morning with a walk through Kensington with my friend Rob and Pho for lunch. Then...Saturday night! Buddies was great again. I wont tell all the messy details but fun fun fun! Photo montage! P.s they arent in order. fuck that noise.

I chilled with my family on Sunday. Food at the every popular "eth", a movie at dundas square and Ashlee, jon and Chelsea and a 200 dollar bar tab at the drake.







Ok im done now!!

p.s I love my life SO much!!@!!

OK so Im back. Havent been home to sit on my computer for a long time. I worked almost 60 hours a week during Christmas time. Very tired but I do love my job.

So to keep you folks updated I have decided to do yet another photo montage from my new iphone. So really I can only give you a 2 week update but thats cool too.

So Cody and I as always went on a drinking bindge. It last from Christmas eve (with Lori and Hobin and my family) to New Years plus last Saturday. I now am going on a week without booze bindge.
First Cody and I stayed in witha bottle of whine and ourselves and just got what cody calls "classy drunk"




Then it was Codys Birthday celebration on saturday. We went to dance cave with friends from here and Burlington. Two very different crowds and me spending 100 on alcohol. Fun night!









On sunday I went out with my sister. No photos were taken because my phone didnt have a case and I wasnt going to bring it out without one. Then Monday was Codys "actual birthday". I wasnt going to go out but did anyways. We went to Social with his college buddies and then headed to the Drake with our Toronto friends. More money was dropped and i ended up singing bonjovis Livin on a Prayer with some guy i didnt know on the steps at the lounge. Weird night, not many photos taken since I left my purse at our buddies after the subway ride.

Tuesday I hungout with my friend Mike. we are so classy.


New Years was a mess. Cody and I had a dance party in his room and dressed to the nines in ties and dresses. I finally learnt how to tye a tie and damn we were sexy. After two 1.5 liter bottles of whine we stumbled to a piano bar nearby. The ball dropped with us and his buddy Jeremy and Ryan and a paino bar full of old people and a drag queen. Cheers '09. I dont know how we managed to get home after the martinis and beer.





Friday Chris and I ate ice cream, made a pot of coffee and ate swedish berries while watching seinfeld until 5 am. Saturday Night and Chelsea is the most popula' gal in town. I cleaned the apartment all day and Chris and I went for milkshakes. The plan being to go to Neutral with his friends then buddies my with friends. Lori calls and we add something new to the mix. A rock musical I have never heard of. So off we go from milkshakes, to pre drinking to Titanic, to a rock musical, to Neutral and in our dancing madness off to chill at my apartment with my house full of gay boys. Highlights: Chris getting touched by a drunk girl. and by touched I mean his hair. Then a different drunk chick trying to grind up on him and me shrugging go right ahead. His friends just laughed. what a great night!





Long enough post for now! I am back to hooking up my record player to my stereo. I heart days off with music, coffee and my camera.

I was reading a book I found in the storage room at work. Its called QBQ. The book seemingly is a stereotype business book about strategies,etc. BUUUT! Dont let it fool you. What I Read in this book is what I came into the new position doing and have been neglectful of continuing since the pressure has been on and more responsibilities have been added. The book teaches a lesson my dad and I used to talk about a long time ago. Dont be Victimized by your surroundings. The book goes on to not only get you to ask yourself "What" and "How" instead of "Why" and "Who". Having personal accountability for your surroundings.
Example: A customer comes in to pick up an 8*10 order. The associate who is currently dealing with them runs into an issue, photos are missing. Instead of asking themselves "What can I do to understand the situation?" she runs to me and hands it to me, its not "hers" to deal with. The order when I look at it is covered in notes and when I ask both my Digital Imager and Lab technician what we could do to find or reprint the missing order they continued to blame the other. -The lesson is not who or why the order was missing. Its about what can I do to fix it and whats in the customers best interest.
Too often in our lives we go blaming each other-the customer blames the employee who blames the supervisor who blames the manager who blames the VP who blames the owner who blames the VP,etc. So Life lesson for the day. Start to ask yourself "What can I achieve?", "How can I achieve it?" and "How do I fix what is making me so frustrated". Life happens and we need to prepare ourselves for the worst and learn to have some personal accountability even when it wasnt ours in the first place. Could you imagine the possibilities if we all did just that. Instead of worrying how others walk change how you walk. Instead of complaining lets be active and take action on what we can control and accept what we cannot. Be leaders of what our idea of the ideal is and if people dont follow then its something you cannot control and therefore shouldn't be stressed about it. Stress, frustration and victimization is as much our own choice as anything.

Now for Photography. Michelle and I converted the apartment into a studio. We played with lighting and I am hoping to keep getting better the more I play. And isnt she gorgeous!








And I finally invested in a new hair cut. I was going to grow it back out but I was impatient.

I had yet another lovely night again, I'm so happy.

I had a lovely day yesterday.

So my bestest friend in the whole wide world, Lori, is getting married. On this note we ventured off to meet her sister in law to try on dresses. I cant believe we found the dress, and when I say "the dress" I do mean THE dress. Almost started to cry but I promised i wouldnt. It's so Lori and I have never seen her ever look more stunning before. :) GLEE!!! Oh and I found mine too. The bridesmaids are wearing black and I found one with this princess cut top and it even has a cute little bow on the front. Ive lost enough weight I felt so good that I started to prance around in it. What a great day! (p.s My weight is what i had in highschool; yippie)

In other news...
I had a great night at a club up the street. My friends were putting on a drag show so we head down there for drinks and a whole lot of fun. I seem to enjoy posting pictures on every post i make so here are some! You guys are the best!






The family came out to Toronto to celebrate my fathers airport (Hamilton Airport) achieving the number one Airport in the world for marketing. We went to the Drake where Ashlee works and had food and then went out. Our family is all grown up. Look out how huge Jon got!



Anyways I am in Burlignton and my brother and I are going to the Pho in Hamilton and then play video games. Heres Loki!

"Hey! So I figured out who looks like you today! ….I knew you had a secret 2nd life as a tv star!!! Have a good one! xOx

Thanks hun!

I want a connection to something bigger than this...

be a photographer in Venice maybe?

Not being an insomniac for the night would be a start.

I made my apartment into a studio before we went to the club. Ian was a wicked model.
