20NOV2011 - Maysie

19NOV2011 - Foliage & Frost

18NOV2011 - No More Stress

I'm not going to fret over the days I can't keep my blog up to date... it's a busy time for me, and I want to enjoy things without worry! No more stress for me... life is short and I'm going to enjoy it!
My West Coast Swing class was tonight, and it was brilliant as always... and it's suppose to snow tonight! I love the snow, very excited about more snow. I had my first dance competition last night, nothing serious... just a "Jack & Jill" (random pairing of couples with random song/dance selection) competition at my Langley school's (Dancing for Dessert) Showcase. I didn't win, but made it to the final round so I was pretty happy with that! I just love, love, love dancing! I've been going Salsa dancing on Wednesdays at the Alpen Club in Vancouver... I hope I can make it again this week before I head to Cuba for some much needed R&R (although, they do have dance classes at the Resort, so I'll be relaxing AND dancing)! Now onto the pictures since I'd love to get off the computer for the night! The 18/19NOV pictures are of frost-kissed plants and the 20NOV is of my Mum's latest foster dog, Maysie. My Mum has actually fostered Maysie before and she is just the best little thing, but the family that adopted her couldn't keep her and now Maysie's Cancer is back, so she is living with my Mum in a "hospice" type situation. Poor little thing... but she is just the cutest little trouble-maker, Oscar even likes her and he is very selective with allowing other dogs the use of his toys!

03NOV2011 - I'm Late, I'm Late

Wow, I am seriously behind. I really needed a break from carting my camera around everywhere and I really considered throwing in the towel. I've been dancing three nights a week and finding myself extremely busy the remaining nights so this has been very hard to maintain (obviously, I'm about 2 weeks behind). But I kept hearing that people do enjoy my blog, so I'm going to give it another go! I couldn't even begin to tell you what I've been up to! I've been to wine-tastings, dancing, dinners, parties, clubs, visiting with old friends and new, crafting and back! I am really craving some "me" time, and by "me" I mean total alone time... no dancing or anything, just sweatpants, wine, popcorn and a movie. I'm almost there, I have a "me" night booked for this Friday and it's going to be amazing! Tonight I am going Salsa dancing with a new dancing friend, Megan... I met her through my friend Shawny. The weather is gross so I hope I can get my act together to get out there... I had so much fun last week!
Onto the pictures... the photos from 03NOV-17NOV follow me and my lovely friend Tennille on our walk-about in Vancouver yesterday. Tennille was visiting from Winnipeg, so we milled about town in the fantastic sunshine! The weather was perfect, chilly and sunny... my favourite! We covered quite a bit of ground, walking from my place (Cambie & 12th) all the way downtown and back across the Granville Street bridge; a lot of walking! It was wonderful to see Tennille, she reminds me of home!
