great news!

according to the internets, i am :



good looking!!! it is nice of them to say so. i'm not sure i'm ACTUALLY getting more attractive peeps in my suggested boys. i haven't noticed, anyways. but. well. the thought is what counts, i guess.

hilarious.

anyways.

sorry about all that not-posting. there've been several things i was going to post about, but then i got 'busy', which is a word i like to use these days in the place of 'lazy'. (i have been tidying a lot. and. ummmm. eating? contemporary dancing?) so now i'll post about allllllll of them! photos abound!

way back in time. item one.
i should probably work on getting some saddle bags or back-baskets. because i think people might think i'm a hobo:





but it is handy to have one's breakfast right there on the back rack.

item two.
i told you about my least favourite street. (curse you yonge!!!) let me tell you about my favourite street! walmer road. it is a champion of a road. there's lovely homes with ivy on, and a church with ivy on, and some great apartments with well-decorated front lawn-areas. charming. is what it is. and i love it. i hope to live on it one day.







item three!
styling work! PAID styling work. assisting styling work! commercial for chaz condo. all green screen times! and free food too. good food! and it should be mentioned that working for sarah is best ever. she is the boss that people dream of having. fun and kind and so open. love. (thank you ian. thank you thank you.) also. i extra'd. i was having a hip happenin' time at the chaz nightclub/bar. man! what a time! oh the characters!



some of the accessories we pulled for the shoot.



a whole day (7am to after 11pm) in this funny green box.



on the 'craft' table (aka snacks...) the coffee stir sticks are PASTA! how brilliant is that?!

item four.
bulk barn with mel and marc. kind of like going to heaven.











item five.
MUSKOKA! freaking muskoka. WHOA. whoa. best place on earth. better, even, than the bulk barn. serious.

i bused out saturday morning, and when i arrived in bracebridge around 1pm, i was greeted by a smiling pile of good times (with beer and sandwiches!), sean-seanna-quinn, na'ama-levi, chris-janice. then we all jumped in the boat and cruised our way to the millar cottage/home where lesley-carl-fraiser were hanging out. and a beautiful cottage/home it is. as if i wasn't already a huge janice-and-family-fan. to break the weekend down:
amazing food, tons of sun and crazy heat, BOATING!, wake boarding, water skiing, tubeing, fireworks, reading, lazing, jumping off the boathouse, colouring with kids... brilliant great weekend. i'm so grateful i got to go out. i'll put more pictures on facebook at some point. but for now:



on the bus. rather curious. if not for reading, what are the lights for?



picked up! happy! this is the life!





watching the fireworks display, good and bundled. unfortunately the mosquitos found their way into our blanket fortress, and na'ama paid the price.



chris demonstrates how this is supposed to go.



my first attempt is unsuccessful. but i am encouraged by those on the boat and i am determined to try again.



woooooooooooo! did it! up on the second time.



coordinated swimming ensemble.

item six.
it is crazy hot in this city this week. bonkers hot! i am grateful for air conditioning. i am grateful, too, for mel and marc's apartment pool. (today, however, i was having such a good time tidying and organizing my home, that when mel invited me to hang poolside i almost didn't go. what?! i think my brain is broken. i did go. in the end. phew!)



item seven.
don't worry mom. i got a library card. and. they're free! for EVERYONE!!! i didn't even have to be unemployed. FREE!
