BD/Kwaffee Talk

Got to escape a bit tonight, by going to Belly Dance class, and then to Starbucks, aka FiveBucks, for some kwaffee talk with J. I felt guilty going out, but knew I should to keep my sanity.

It has become a bit of a ritual-every two or three weeks, Starbucks it is, we usually sit at the same spot, order the same things--Grande low fat latte and Tazo Chai Soy. The staff even recognize J and ask about/purchase her jewellery. We talk about everything or nothing, and it's all good, as we've become old friends in such a short period of time!

Kwaffee Talk outings are combined with a side trip if time permits, be it the Dollarama (funny how I rarely escape the dollar store without spending $20 or more); the massage chairs at Home Outfitters; or tonight's side trip to Walmart.

I spied tassled ribbons, which I thought would make the perfect tribal belly dance belt. BD teacher agreed, so we both came home with some- mine in gold; Jewels' in black/grey and brown/beige.

Here's what mine will look like when complete, tacked onto to my $2.00 Fairweather belt:

Me likey!

P.S. I was forced to switch to New Blogger tonight.

Celebrity Jewelry

Check this out...on the top is a piece that was designed for me by Ms. J in the summer. I open up this week's Star magazine, and spy something along the same lines on Vanessa Williams.

J..is there something you're not telling us, re: designing for the stars?

Or are they copying your designs???

Valentine Cards You Don't Want to Get

Got these cards emailed to me today, and thought that a few were pretty funny, so I'd share.

Has been a LONG valentine's day, what with digging out from snow, taking care of mom, who now has been diagnosed with gout, to top off the chronic pain of shingles. Life's not fair, and as she said, Why do I have to get this pain & misery when I get so old? It sucks that there's nothing I can do.

Due to the weather, my cousin wasn't able to come over to stay with my mother, so I had to miss work again. Murphy's Law since this is the worst possible time for me to miss, since I'm usually putting in over 80 hours a week to get the budgets done. The juggling is getting more & more difficult, and I feel like I'm walking around like a Zombie--and I look like one too. The gym, which usually helps me cope with stress, is also not possible these days.

Back to work tomorrow, for a full day's worth of meetings, and then I have only the weekend to meet the budget deadline..I better learn to juggle even faster--the hurrier I go, the behinder I get.

Hope you all had a Happy Valentine's Day, and didn't get any of these nasty cards.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day...Happy Snow Day!

No Shadow

YAY! SPRING & SUNSHINE ARE COMING!

Happy Groundhog's Day!




There was no shadow on the ground
Which means that spring will come around.
Flowers will bloom and life will begin
The waters will warm then we can jump in.
Children will laugh as they learn to ride
Boaters will rise and fall with the tide
The golfers appear out on the greens
People line up to taste new ice creams.
A warm breeze will brush on your cheek
The waters will rise on some of the creeks
Farmers will plant their first set of crops
Windows and doors will open on shops
