10 more days

This morning I found out that Telus isn't able to stop by for an internet hook up visit until the 15th. I feel like I've already been waiting forever, but I'm trying to stay positive.
At least I have lots of time for friends, the gym, eating, and such. Laaaaaaaame.

Oh, and something even greater than getting the internet happens in 12 days. Wait and see, internet friends...wait and see.

internet-less

I'm alive!

I know that I've been MIA, but it's only because I'm waiting on Telus to swing by and hook up my cable/internet. Come on Telus!

My wonderful friend Heather and I moved into our new place last friday. We love it. It's right downtown, but still near the river and running/biking trails. We have a fantastic view of the river and the mountains (on clear days). Our building has a gym, sauna, tennis courts and a pool. Oh, and there's a cute Bubble Tea place just around the corner.

I've been keeping busy reconnecting with old friends, buying furniture & pretty bedding, taking mini road trips (I saw real live tumbleweeds), making caramel apples, hanging with the siblings, and watching all 5 seasons of the office on DVD. I need a job.

I really miss my boy. My heart feels kinda empty. Not a good feeling. I've been trying to fill it with candy and treats from the asian market. So far, not working.

Heather and I have a plan to befriend the girl in the apartment next to us. We're hoping she'll let us use her WIFI. Problem is, we weren't very friendly when we first met her. Maybe we'll bake cookies and bribe her. I'll let you know how that goes.

some of the owls in my life

The MS made this owl for me. I love him.

This owl card welcomed me (back) to calgary.

This beautiful card came from my wonderful boyfriend. I think I'm going to frame it.

I love being surrounded by these cute creatures. You can never have too many owls.

tell me

I'm afraid of: certain insects, moving without my guitar (even though I have one waiting for me in calgary), scary paranormal television shows, my boy cheating on me, bears getting me while I'm jogging.

down the hatch

Two drinks that I can not get enough of...

I may need a pumpkin spice latte/coconut water intervention.

the gift that keeps on giving

This is a public apology to my friend Kristi. I, somehow, managed to give her my cold even though she's now living in Northern Manitoba.

Sorry Kristi. Feel better! Gargling with warm salt water helps. I just hope that nobody asks if they can eat toast with your phlegm on it. It does happen... unfortunately.

Kristi is a cutie. Check out her blog: www.visiblevoice.ca. Send her some comment love and wish her a speedy recovery.

owl love

The bad news: I'm sick with a head cold. It won't go away. I keep sneezing and coughing and being unable to exercise. No fun!

The good news: The Mothership convinced me to go for a walk to fill my lungs with fresh air. There was a surprise waiting for me on our walking trail. The Mothership knows just how much I love owls.

So she painted one on a big rock. And yes I'm wearing gross clothes, but give a sick girl a break.
