It's My Birthday!!!!

It's official, I am 29!!! Yippee!!




What can I say, it's been fun!!! Thanks again for helping me celebrate on Friday. It's always nice to have all the people you care about together in one room without it being your funeral.


I had a great time because of you. Rather then retelling the stories I'll let the pictures talk. I wish I could put them ALL up but there are so many you will just have to come visit me to see the rest.



I'd like to make an honourable mention to my Penis Cakes and their creators; Tall Drink for the 'photoshoot'; Bernardi for keeping his cake in his pants (despite temptation); the DJ; the Cookers; the Cleaners; the Jokers; the Smokers; and obviously the Drinkers.
To Everyone, Thank You.

Congratulations!!

I just wanted to wish the newly weds all the best. They had a wonderful wedding, and I trust will have an even better Honeymoon.

The Bride looked beautiful, the groom handsome, and the entire wedding party looked HOT!!

Thanks for letting me share in your special day.

I Met Gord Downie!

I have nothing else to say except that I met my favourite singer, Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip. He shook my hand, put his arm around me, and obviously made me smile.

Stagette

First of all I wanted to extend a Congratulations to my friend IH who is getting married on Saturday February 17, 2007.

This past Saturday we had her Stagette party. I only knew a few of the girls there and that worried me but it ended up being a great time. We started with dinner and then went bar hopping. We hit Shoeless Joes and watched the hockey game, we went to Fion McCools where a random guy asked me to go to the Bahama's with him. We went to West where we met some New Yorkers who we tried to get to strip for IH. Then a new place called Chaval where IH saw her grade 7 crush. The final stop For Your Eyes Only (female strip club). Unfortunately, it was too late and we were quickly kicked out of the strippers, so instead we went for Chinese food.

The night was full of crazy antics, but the most impressive was the amount IH drank. We all had our fair share of shots and cocktails, but IH had over 14 shots and likely 10 cocktails and other items of impairment... No one really knows. I'm surprised she made it home, and not looking too bad either might I add.

Looking forward to the Wedding... I trust it will be just as much fun.

A Month without Booze

I've successfully completed a month without booze.

As some of you know I don’t drink alcohol for the entire month of January. I have been doing this for 3 years now with my friend JR Squared. He actually cuts out coffee as well, I could not do that, although I cut back, I definitely did not go without.

The first year there may have been a slip up or two, the second I made it through, but not without a struggle and this year I was successful in not having one alcoholic beverage, not one sip, not an alcohol flavoured chocolate or dessert in all of January. NADA. I have to admit I am proud of myself, but at the same time it wasn’t as hard as I remember it.

Some ask why we do it and I always give the reason that I drink in abundance all year round so I need a break. Truth is, I just think it is good to get out of the habit of drinking at any and or all occasions. I don’t need a beer after dodgeball, I don’t need a dirty martini before my meals, I just like it. As with most things I enjoy, I like to indulge in things like booze. So January I learned to indulge in other joys, specifically those that involved sitting on my couch weekend after weekend.

Being the first of February JR Squared and I have a longstanding date. I hope today doesn’t end up like last year with ‘One Eyed Karaoke’.
