don't you know i can't sleep at night, but just the same, i never weep at night, i call your name.

morning!

had a killer weekend with killer peeps- algonquin was incredible and we had cozy little sleeps with a teeny laylabun! well done weekend, you made me all sorts of cozy and warm feeling! a perfect camping weekend!! my mister is increds!

i think my mind was racing in my sleep last night- a mile a minute. teeth grinding, stomach feeling like a turtles trampoline and waking up a few times distraught as heck! what am i even thinking about? i have no idea!!! i have no complaints (except for the roof of my mouth being all burned from camping beans and weiners) does this ever happen to anyone?? i've had some crazy sleeps lately.

oh! i move into girl house september 1st, which will be so nice! kind of scary (because i hate moving so much) but i think it will be best for the pig, backyard and parks galore!! and i get to live across the park from spence and campos- double score!! living with 2 adorable mugs and very lovely ladies will be a nice change of pace!

also- check out camp 4 this friday night!! robin turns 30!!! wha???? totally amazing dude- happy birthday draper!

hrmm- i think that's all to report! livin' and lovin'

oh but when monday comes i cry all of the time

monday monday (mamas and papas reference above?) - i feel so sleepy from this crazy city weekend! (remember how i said it was going to be low key?)

friday:
had lunch and drinks with kyle at caplansky's and drinks at ronnies
me and the mister biked to yonge and dundas to catch the free sloan show (a.w.e.s.o.m.e)
then off to the 'taste of little italy' where it was crazy in a happy festivities kind of way
THEN off to a soccer bender, all the peeps from goalden showers were in attendance....but i was so pooped!!
home to bed with the mister

saturday:
slept in till 1pm (i NEVER do this- felt pretty great!)
biked to the ferry, went to see beach house, broken social scene, band of horses, and pavement (who i didn't get to see, boo!) on the island which was pretty amazing, weather was great, mister by my side, pretty gosh darn sweet!
then....i had to work, till 5am!!! nxne festivities in FULL effect- people everywhere! garrison was booming!

sunday:
went to cherry beach with lay and bubs
had a lovely outdoor lie down/bbq/brews/touch of footie
went for a mega walk with the bot, looked a little like 2.5 hours!

weekend was pretty grand, some people just make the weekend so awesome. i can't deny how warm my heart feels all the time- like the summer heat!

this weekend is going to be all time- camping in algonquin with some lovely peeps and the bot. i am counting down days and picking up things here and there for the adventure! beans and weiners, campfires, SWIMMING, nature and brews, what is even better than that??? the answer is nothing.

i miss biz though- i thought up so many home alone quotes to remind him of and filet o fish eaters! i should really start making some little notes about this stuff for when he returns.

happy monday!

she's a slow one

aww thursday- this week is chugging along veeeery slowly, but we're almost there, final stretch! keep your chin up!

in goalden shower news- we got slaughtered last night...we put up one helluva fight, but to our disappointment we lost the long, hard battle. i had some words with a chick on the opposite team, she tripped me and i was all 'no need to get dirty, you're creaming us' apparently this team has 'practices' because when the same chick beefed it one of her team mates was yelling at her 'do it like we did in practice, c'mon' a little too much pressure for a recreational team! but it was fun so who even minds about it!

tonight is the night- all this nxne excitement! come on down to the garrison (a whisper west of ossington on dundas) catch some rad bands (burning love, dd/mm/yyyy, metz, etc). i'm behind the bar jammin' out and i would love to see some adorable faces all up in there! COME!

workin' all day workin' all night. i'm thinking a chill city weekend with my main man and layla-anne. i actually cannot wait.

peace xo

big ol' jet airliner, don't carry him too far away

hey hey hey! happy monday and it is one indeed, i'm still glowing from the cute events of this weekend! i went to visit the boy's fam in greely and it was nothing short of amazing, his parents are two of the loveliest people i have ever met and it was uber relaxing. good vibes and love all weekend long! i got to see the parliament buildings, cat sanctuary, the market, and all the stunning sites which ottawa seems to have in abundance. pretty sweet weekend and my main man is simply the best. point blank.

when we got back to the city i had a mere hour before i started my first shift behind the bar at garrison (dundas and ossington) looks like it's going to be a pretty sweet gig! had some drinks apres shift with sarah and spence -catch ups and strongbows. made my way home to cuddle with some kitties (layla is still at grandma's house eating home made stew) and curled into bed with a smile on my face from all the weekend awesome, not to mention the amazing dude by my side.

but monday has come..the happiest/ saddest part of all this gloomy monday is that my best friend is spending his summer abroad and is leaving on a jet plane tomorrow, i am so happy that he''s decided to do this, it is going to be a sweet, sweet summer for my biz, but i am sad to see him go- i don't think we've ever spent this much time apart in our years of friendship so it will take some getting use to! i am so stoked for him and can't wait for the fam jam dinner tonight to send him off!

anyhoo- that is my weekend report, smooth as a babie's bum! busy week ahead, soccer, band practice, island shows, and tons of fun in the city, make it count y'all!

xoxo

what a night!! my main man took me to see the national last night, it was more than i had hoped, they sounded amazing, and they put on a pretty great show, 2 encores and tons of awesome, AND the posters for the show looked stunning (yay!! babe!!) sigh sigh sigh, such a good night, even did a little stop before home for a whopper at bk (totally gross/ delicious/ omg i love cheeseburgers) sleepy kid kicked in H.A.R.D!

it's raining out today- but the weekend is coming, and i'm stoked!!! headed to ottawa for the weekend, i get to spend some time in the country, cute times with some lovely peeps!

ps- the kitty above is miles, he gets grumped out by layla but other than that....he's one of my favorite dudes. i love him to bits!

before bed errors? night terrors?

hey y'all, happy monday. ew. barf.

sweet day yesterday, kind of perfect actually, sometimes even the simplest of days can warm your heart to a million degrees. i like it, i like it a lot.

but....when i went to sleep, i had the worst dreams/ nightmares? ever. all sorts of things that made me wake up in the middle of the night feeling all ill and needing a good cuddle. layla-anne was just the lady for the job, however, i could tell she was getting annoyed by the 3rd of 4th time. why do night terrors even happen? i watched shutter island (omg, so scary, totally did my hand over face but fingers separated thing) and ate butter chicken roti before bed-ish, do you think that has something to do with it? regardless, this morning i was all grogmonster and wishing it was friday. man oh man, it's going to be a long week.

happy monday!

some people claim that there's a woman to blame..

* how awesome is this shot of ol' moss? and totally unrelated, why do i think of moss man from heman every time i read/hear the word moss?

band practice went well, yay!! so it looks like we're hitting burritoville in mtl for the 17th, hooray! i literally have bruises all over my right thigh from shakin' the life outta that tambourine tonight, so long summer shorts!!

i am taking my main man to my hometown tomorrow night, oh gosh, hope he finds the kings arms as charming as i do...ps- date night ruled last night omgomgomg.

13 years of costa

paying homage to 13 years of friendship, thanks for always being near and dear buddy.

fits like a glove

i am the proud new owner of this hoodie- spotted it on our trip to vb (abbot kinney), and kicked myself for not picking this bad boy up. luckily for me my main man is amazing and surprised me with it the other day. ps- it is perfect for campfire cuddles. thanks bubs! xo
