Tori Tori Tori!!!!!!!!

I'm going to bust!!!! Confirmation of Tori's onsale for Vancouver is here! Pre-sales begin on Thursday. VIP Packages are available too, but they are a little pricey. However, if I can snag one of these, you get a goodie bag, meet and greet and watch part of the soundcheck. Hmmmmm...something to think about.

I'm still going. Man I love her!

Rest in peace little Joy-Poodle

To my wonderful friend Shelley at The Vogel Stitcher, her mom and Billy, my condolences on the loss of one of their Superdogs, Joy-Poodle.





When I lost Carrie three months shy of her 16th birthday in 1997 (above at in order from top to bottom..at 1 year with her favorite squeaky toy TOTO, age 4 months in bed snuggling with a young me, and age 4 years in the leaves), I thought my heart would never heal again. And even though everyone tells you that pain will go away, let me tell you that all of it never really does. It does get easier and the overwhelming sorrow does lessen though. I still get teary-eyed looking at pictures of my "Pook", but remembering all the silly things she used to do and how much laughter she brought me makes me know that my life was made better with her in it.

Pets should live forever. Rest in peace Joy-Poodle. You were loved.

Just so you know, I cannot STAND this heat. Sure Summer can be fun, but constant temperatures between 29-34 degrees celsius with 75-80 percent humidity (which is BIZZARE for Calgary) is making me exceptionally cranky.

What's the best so far? Um, nothing..have the flu to end all flus, voice is gone (which is a good think I think for my neighbours who won't hear me singing in the shower anytime soon), and I'm hacking up a lung. So much fun the second day of this when outside it was 34 degrees, and inside my body was 39.4 (otherwise known as a temp of 103). Needless to say, I spent the day at home inside my bathtub.

Quincy's not finding this heat too much fun either. He's a mean apricot panting machine who sleeps in the bathroom at night. Even with the windows open at night..I'm sitting here at 10:45pm and it's still 23 degrees with 73 percent humidity. That makes it feel like 29.

Is there an end in sight? Friday it's supposed to be only 24 - the coolest day until next Tuesday, but with this weirdass humidity, it feels about 6 degrees warmer. 24 +6=30. Whaaaaaa!!!!

I want Fall dammit!

Happy Birthday to me!

I had a fantastic day! Thanks so everyone who came to my birthday shindig. I had a blast! What a lucky person I am to have so many friends who wanted to celebrate with me.

So I'm forty now, and I don't feel a day over 25, which is a very good thing.
