Random Thoughts – 2010 Kick-off?

First of all – if you’re in a position to help out, please give generously to those in Haiti who need all of our happy thoughts.


My charity of choice was the Canadian Red Cross, and it made me happy when the server crashed when I tried to donate – thanks, other donors who crashed the system with me!

Alright, Christmas is over, but somehow I’m still sitting next to my Christmas tree. This clearly shows that 2010 hasn’t officially started for me. The first couple of weeks have been busy catching up and finishing up some loose ends from 2009, so hopefully this weekend we’ll get around to taking down the tree, distributing the last of our presents, and on with 2010.

Lots of trips coming up, so I’ll be updating on those as I go! I’m heading down to NYC again in a week for a long weekend, and then to Vancouver for a, um, low-key hockey game during the Olympics. I’ll be back for a couple of months before heading up to Vancouver again for my bff’s wedding on May 1, and then who knows, I might actually squeeze in a REAL vacation not long after that.

I swear I won’t turn this blog into a starry-eyed, all-about-weddings discussion because that’s just so rude to those expecting me to continue to gush about food. However, because everyone’s been asking me casually (or seriously, haha) when we’re thinking of getting married, I’ll just say this – WOW weddings are expensive! Therefore, I have no conclusive plans/ideas, because first, I have to get over the big hurdle of setting a budget that we can actually live with. If I won’t spend $1,500 on a pair of awesome Louboutins that’ll last me at least a couple of years, why would I spend double that amount on a person who’s supposed to take photos of me for a couple of hours?? I’m not even photogenic!!

Alright, enough with the ranting, and on with 2010! Happy new year/happy 15th day of the year!

    Elope! It’s my very best wedding suggestion.

      I agree, except I have been told it’s “mean” to do to people. Still tempted, though!

      Haha I’ll let you know more as I find out more – we’re both in the dark here! PS, we’re in town and available to meet up on Saturday Feb. 27 late afternoon/evening if you’re around and game! It’s going to be a whirlwind trip this time! We’ll be back again early May…
