A little flair please...

I was reviewing my older blog posts and I think I was a little more savvy then, versus now. I need to pick it up a little! I was laughing while re-reading about the merman, impressed at my diligence to pursue dreams (no matter how big or scary or quirky), and just reminisce.

Its chilly in here tonight and I need to get to bed but remind me to tell you about my surgical consult a while back. Trust me, not every girl's dream! Of course, the end result will be fabulous (hello boob!). I'll tell you about it later though. Need...to...warm...up...and...sleep. Goodnight.

Armed with books and CDs


Back from Canmore but before leaving I hit up a store I always seem drawn to...'Spirit of the West' or something like that. I'm not a huge fan of stores heavy on crystals but this one has a few good finds nestled within the crystals. And some nice jewelry too.

I picked up another copy of 'Eat Pray Love'...Tamara sent me a copy a while back (before all the hype) and its gone missing. I also picked up another book and a meditation CD. I always seem to get 'high' on books and then have a hard time trying to find the time to read them. Once again, I caught myself vowing that "this time" I'm "REALLY" going to focus on these books and get them read. REALLY.

I also managed to start working on my other idea that is still hush hush for now. I got the toughest part done (in my opinion anyway) and now its all about making it look appealing. Its a package. That's all I'll say. A few more things to get ready and then I'll mail it off and tell you more about it. You will probably laugh. But its on the 'dream list'.

The drive home from Canmore was a little tense, I'm not a fan of fog and it was thick tonight. Thankfully, there was a car ahead of me and I followed the red tail lights...thank you whoever you are! I'd come out of the fog into a clear patch only to hit another patch. I am happy to be home.

Back to work tomorrow. We're taking a Christmas photo (just us SLPs). Have a staff meeting at 08:15. Then pretty much a typical day at RGH from there on.

Just watched one of my supernatural shows...are you rolling your eyes? Now to bed and start one of these books!

A horse with no name...

I don't know what to call this blog yet. So I'm just going to write and see what comes to mind. I'm currently in Canmore for the weekend with Kiva. Seems like all I've been doing is grocery shopping and cooking...I've been on a real vegetarian focus and trying a lot of new recipes. The black bean brownies I made tonight were GREAT! Courtesy of Dr. Oz. I'm also hooked on natural popcorn with a smidgen of butter and a whole lotta chipotle seasoning. Salty and spicy, it grabs you.

Its sunny and warmish up here. We went for a nice walk along the river after I had my medium decaf from Beamer's of course! Just going to relax tonight, maybe watch some TV...hasn't been on all day. The only time I actually crave TV is on 'Supernatural Sundays'. I'm loving the child psychics show...especially watching them help with 'cold cases' for the police and families. I get chills at how accurate these kids are with no information! A slightly scary Fortney trait I believe.

I'm not feeling 'Christmasy' at all which is uber strange for me. I usually love love love getting into the feel of Christmas. Hmmm.

Life is a mystery my friends. No road map. Which I like. Most days. My life lately has shifted to eating better, trying to eat more 'veggie' (and its been really easy)...getting massages more regularly, and trying to hone in on my inner voice and see what and where I'm supposed to do and be in 2011. There's a great 'stillness' room at one of my favorite places in the city for relaxation and wellness...a little meditation room set up with all you need (cozy meditation chair, CDs...). I can't wait to book it and try and go regularly.

I have another 2 things up my sleeve for the near future...one is getting my nose pierced and the other...well its a little too Fortney and very Tracey. I'll reveal that one in a bit.

Hope all is well in your world. Peace out.
