Different expectations of where the night will end.....

I had to leave work early today because my chest cold erupted into the chills. I snapped these quick photos on my way home. I'm bummed because I was supposed to go out for dinner tonight and meet my friend's new love. I am so happy for her and this exciting phase of life she's experiencing. I wanted to meet the man who is making her swoon. 

I don't know if it's from all of the vitamin C pumping through my veins, but the bird photos have me thinking about life: 

We are all on our own journey. We each have to work hard, flapping our wings, weathering storms and correcting our paths. Some days we happily soar and everything is clear, and some days we struggle to stay above the clouds. We should always take pause, catch our breath and look around. Soon enough, friends will gather. We're all on separate journeys, but the paths of friends will always intersect.

Yep, must be the Vitamin C.

OR PMS. 

One month of 365 down, 11 to go!

Heinrich Maneuver Lyrics: 

How are things on the West Coast

I hear you're moving real fine tonight...

Everyone was on their feet, dancing the night away. Fists punching in the air (yep, mine too).  Interpol reminded me that I NEED to go to more live shows. You could feel the electricity from the crowd in the air (among other substances). Interpol was AMAZing. I fell in love with them all over again. A few years ago we caught them at the Pemberton festival and their performance wasn't very memorable. But since then, their live show has gotten so tight. They've never sounded better. Favourites were: NYC, Narc, Success, The Undoing, Slow Hands, Evil - pretty much everything. (A fun little game we played while the opening band was on: try to find people older than us). 

For Jan 27th of 365

sick day

Today I'm at home, feeling like crud: sore throat, stuffy everything. I made a delicious smoothie with blueberries, a banana, avocado, crushed flax seeds and kale, hoping it will work its wonders. My little sweetheart Cooper is happy to have me home, she hasn't left my side all day, except when she decides to stare me down with steely determination (look at me!!!) until I follow her to her food dish. 

Next up: a bowl of soup and the movie Waiting for Guffman. Check out the trailer here. If you haven't seen it,  you simply must. It's by the same dream team that created Best in Show, and it is improvised comedy at its best. I think I'd rank it as my favourite funny flick. What kinds of things do you like to do to feel better?
