This has been your weekly update

Hey all...

hmmm, Ive been slacking a little here... not posting so regularly...

so here's an update: boot camp is still going strong... i had it three times last week, and again three times this week....

yoga yoga yoga... oh, I got an amazing new mat form Lotus Soul Gym... where I practice

The staff xmas party is this Friday... not really looking forward to it, and I kind of don't even want to go... as it will just be a whole lot of drunken losers and whores... for real. But I may go for the free alcohol and then take the party elsewhere...well my own party...

Ive got some photo shoots coming up in the next few weeks...oh yah.. America's next top model watch out... that's right.. I'm skipping Canada's next top model and going right to America... well, not really....

Ive started a new blog... I hope you are all enjoying it... Betsey Sue's Reviews... yes, I review things... all sorts of things.

That is all for now... a nice,busy, scattered post... such as my life

Tuesday Bluesday...

ho hum... yet another boring day at work... i started watching walking dead online... not bad so far...

other than that... i was looking at Oprah's favorite things in hopes of getting from Christmas ideas.
I also checked out some Martha Stewart recipes... I found some tasty holiday cocktails which I do very much intend to make!

I am also thinking of having a holiday dinner... oh what fun! yummy food, delicious drinks, pretty dresses... I think I know what choice I need to make in this matter... that, yes, I must have a holiday dinner party!!

Monday Blues

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Yup... it's Monday....

My weekend was uneventful...although I did get a lot of cleaning done, returned some unwanted boots, got a new coffee table from ikea... and best of all went to Duchess.

I got the namesake... the Duchess cake... sweet cream and raspberry filling, with a delicious marzipan coating....

That is all...
I think its time for a move... or some sort of change... time to get things shimmy shakin again!

So nice to see you, Winter

hmmm, it's Friday yet again...a not so sunny, warm Friday, but a cold and snowy one, with very little potential...

Boot camp was cancelled last night because it was a wee too cold to be outside at night.

I had planed to see The Brains last night... but didn't... I stayed home, alone for the most part... and had no vodka to warm me up.

I seen to recall some goals I had set a while back... sleep more... still not happening... save money... definitely not so easy... drink less... I think that was one... and that's only happening because I haven't got the money to do it as often.

Maybe its just because the winter has arrived, which means no more warm breezes, no more summer dresses, no strolls to get ice cream to cool me off... and no being okay hanging out with myself, because I had the sun and warmth to make me smile... well, maybe it is just that winter has arrived... but I'm feeling a bit down on my luck, broke and a bit disappointed.
There's no vacation looming in the near future to look forward to, no best friend to go shopping with, get ready to go out with, or stay in on a Friday night with.... woe is me... well, not really... but I can be dramatic. I'm tired... and cold... and bored... and wish my best friend didn't live in Vancouver, but with me, in Edmonton.

Only two more hours until the work week is over... and I have two days of faux relaxation, rest, and freedom. When really, all I'm thinking about is the winter tires I need to put on, my brothers phone bill I am stuck paying, budgeting what little money I have to last the next two weeks, trying to make it to yoga at all and on time... and such is life.

Although, I do believe I am going to Duchess today, a fantastic french bakery on 124st... which will melt away any troubles or stress or frustration... nom, nom, delicious duchess

Jamie T - Sheila

I can't stop listening to this song. Jamie T is so English you can't help but love him.

Boot Camp Round 2 Day Three

Oh God how I ache!! I suppose 20 minutes of non stop running up and down a rather long hill can do that to a girl... among various other exercises...

Boot Camp.... I do love you... but you make me hurt so bad!

Well only a few more weeks left until boot camp breaks for a couple of months I believe and then I will have to turn my attention and energy elsewhere... time to brainstorm... although I was thinking of doing bikram yoga... we will see

Regular yoga tonight... then a date... to Padmandi's...
check it out for yourself... its like heaven... in my mouth...
