venus and mars

Sitting in the stand of the sports arena
Waiting for the show to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine,
A good friend of mine, follows the stars,
Venus and mars
Are alright tonight.

thrilling.

the time has come ...

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

tell me

there is no place like home. 

and home is where the heart is. 

but what if your heart has two homes?

then what?

there's no place like home.

let the celebrations begin.

nothing like a pleasingly plum pumpkin.

kiss the boys ...

... and make them die.

must have for my coffee table collection

all the retro amazing-ness of vintage playboys without the dusty pages. 

NEED

tale as old as time.

And oft, my jealousy shapes faults that are not.

sorry samantha baker ...

i can't relate. 

my family and friends are far 

too amazing. 

what makes aging okay ...

these two are always a year older, and absolute perfection. 

There is something so disturbing about being cliche,

just like everyone else, 

typecast, 

having a shared identity. 

Ordinary

What is it about normalcy,

that is so terrifying? 

STRIVE FOR ORIGINALITY.

smart is sexy.

but who knew public transit 

could look THIS good.

i wish life was like the fairy tales.

... the brothers Grimm that is. 

maybe it already is though.

have you read the news lately? 

Eloise had it figured out.

My needs are few

Food (filet mignon)

Shelter (The Plaze Hotel)

Clothing (Dior)

hellllo girl crush ...

chill out ... she's 18 - i googled it

an apple a day ...

... keeps your demons at bay. 

i hold grudges.

yes, i'm talking to you mrs.smith

these are a few of my favorite things:

the smell of rain

coffee table books

friends like mine

pop

sundays

cold pancakes

skeleton keys

my mum's music

the first kiss

really laughing

family, family, family. 

girls best friend.

I don't exercise. 

If God had wanted me 

to bend over, he would have put

diamonds on the floor.

Joan Rivers

have mercy.

my heart was his from this moment forward.

pure bliss.

best app ever.

I love going to the movies. 

The over priced, over portioned food.

The 13 year olds running rampant. 

Turning my cell phone off. 

Laughing or crying with complete strangers. 

I find it all very romantic. 

until ... 

I drink a litre of diet coke and spend half the movie trying to contemplate 

when a good time to run and pee will be. 

OH HEY RunPee

how has this app. been out for over a year and I didn't know it?

RunPee tells you when the best times 

to go pee during a movie are, 

as well as times you and gives you a synopsis of 

what you are missing to read as you pee. 

.99 cents spent well if you ask me. 

a little bit goes a long way.

Nothing like a week of promo work to make you appreciate 

good manners, and the people who have them. 

So to every stranger who holds the door open,
smiles for no reason, 

says please,
thank you, excuse me
and I'm sorry. 

THANK YOU.

Polite is sexy, pass it on.  

giving thanks.

thanksgiving weekend in all its glory:

crispy cottage weather and the ensembles it allows

the smell of the fireplace, apple pie, hot cider and turkey all rolled into one

the always festive center piece

red wine

the hazel special

gravy for breakfast

turkey skin

pillowy lumps of mashed potatoes

good friends

good music, and my mom humming along in the kitchen

the best family 

i.am.missing.out.

the sky opened and the tempest erupted.

up my alley.

Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939)

i've always been drawn to watercolor portraits, 

they capture something - a softness - that the eye can't.

in an mmmbop they're gone.

always remember:

too much ego will kill your talent.

what's in your closet?

let it out.

something to aspire to.

always remember:

"whatever you hear about me is probably as fake as the person who told you"

don't be afraid to set the record straight. 

noteworthy to say the least.
