this is how I see myself. a beachbum who loves glam things along with finding the perfect shell on a faraway beach. in great sandals.

Happy day today.

Walkies with Ricky.

Curry at Goldie's.

Found awesome jeans at a thrift shop....and a hard covered John Irving novel.

Relaxation for the rest of my day----completely indulgent!

Green tea in the evening with American Idol!

Tomorrow will be a busy one!

Night night...ciao xo

evening....

candles are lit and just surfing the web looking for tidbits.
waiting for a movie to begin and just enjoying the quiet.
craving cookies and milk and have neither in the house-just soy milk and healthfood.
ugh!
so---tomorrow I will sin and have some cookies...store bought and some milk for dipping...so trivial, right?---well right! this does happen to be my online diary of musings and venting...
I need a change of scenery---yeah, I know---just got back from OZ and it has only been a month or so since returning to Kamloops---but I feel the need to book a flight/pack a bag/get passport ready and GO!
It's the wanderlust in me.
I feel closed in here in this small but wonderful town...lots of confining aspects or maybe it's just me.
I find there are too many cliques and too many judge-y types....again...could just be me...I never really fit in here....I tried, but could never really get into the groove here....
As much as this is a great place for living with family and raising little kids....and! when the weather decides to warm up it is glorious....there's more to it....I have a restless heart.

A restless heart.

addendum

....had chocolate=feel good!
it's monday.

feeling blahhh.

maybe not enough coffee to get started?...dunno---all I know is I should get moving and do errands and such but, alas! don't feel like it.

would rather stay here with my dog and watch the weather do weird things and thumb thru old  fashion mags......

waiting for more sun---needing some sunshine in my life...started off sunny today and now it is a mish mash of craziness....

waiting for Randy to get home from Australia and waiting for Rob to call and say 'hey'....

time to go....must shop---that always helps!

xo ciao for now xo

today being easter & all...

Woke up rather late this morning, very cozy under the duvet with my doggie snuggling oh so close.
Barry my darling boy is off hitting golf balls and later will watch the Masters....with dreams in his head!!
Wasn't thinking chocolate easter bunnies at all upon waking....just had coffee on my mind!
Thinking about my son who happens to be touring with his band in Alberta- The Cheats!- they are damned good and deserve accolades....from what I understand they are really tearing it up at every venue they go to...Good job boys! Check 'em out if you have any kind of love for good ole hardcore rock n' roll----c'mon----you'll feel groovy.
Randy, my youngest- will be home from Byron Bay in a few days now and we are so excited to have him back-must be weird for him to leave such paradise where the surfing is stellar and the beer flows freely and not to mention the glorious beaches! ah! his home and family and true blue friends are here in Canada though, so----home is where the heart.........you know the rest.
Thinking lots about my next Vancouver trip-I need to do some serious retail therapy.
I feel limited here in town....We need a MAC and an H&M and OH!-----I could go on...
Where can a girl find some seriously cool sandals...I've been to Aldo and yeah they have things I love....but I just feel hesitant...I just dunno....I miss my beloved Australia for shopping bliss....they have the most amazing variety there.....so many styles and trends....luv it!
Kelowna is OK too...but nothing like a big city for shopping.
Cannot wait to hit Van.....need things....better get making my list!
OH!!!! and hopefully while I am there I will check out HMV and maybe just maybe see my son's band's cd on display there....yes! The Cheats-Harsh Dungeon!
Whoo-Hoo!

Ciao for now....must have coffee...maybe a chocolate treat as well xo
A few good shops scattered here and there, but nothing I haven't seen so many times before.
