I'm in a writy mood right now. I sat down to write out my rent checks for the next few months and felt for some odd reason inspired to write someone a letter or write in my journal or write on this blog. There is nothing in particular that I wish to write about but i'm here so why not.
Today was an odd day. I woke up in a wee bit of a rush as I had plans to meet my sisters and ambers spawn down at Waterfront Station to spend the afternoon with them. Field trip for the kids. Get away for the adults. I had my birthday party yesterday. The whole day was great. It started off with some yog's then followed into the festivities. A co-worker and I went down WBroadway for brunch at DB Bistro where one of my all time greatest clients runs the kitchen. He promised amazing things if we came in for Sunday brunch and frig, did he deliver. The food was fantastic, the coffee came with sugar 'nuggets' instead of cubes, the champagne cocktails were endless, and we got to dress up real fancy as this is one of the more prestigious restaurants in the city. We were spoiled and tipsy. Awesome. From there we went to the ponies to bet on some horses. The weather man called for rain but thank the Lord it was only overcast. The races were still on! I made one $6 bet and lost 70 cents from it. Could have been worse. Most everyone dressed up for the ponies which was great. We had a little boxed off area and I'm pretty sure we were the best looking people in the place. Also-Jockies? Really teenie. Like I feel that while growing then realizing they wouldn't not get any taller, that they knew their destiny. There is a purpose for their wee-ness I suppose. The less weight on the horses as well as the less wind resistance is worried about, the better.
Anyways,
After ponies played some slots. I won prolly around $15-25 bones! I didn't count and I was only placing small bets. Though entertaining, I could actually feel myself getting dumber as I watched the glowing florecent screen, pressing the same buttons over and over again in hopes that I would come out on top. Strange to me that this is a life that some people lead. To each his own I suppose.
After ponies was party at my house. It was good. Pizza and flowing beverages...After that we went to the Cascade and then the Narrow. The intention was to go there to watch a friend DJ but in the end just went with him having one drink and then peacing out.
Not a bad birthday night at all.
Back to today. Woke up not at home and walked 8 or 10 blocks through the misty rain to my place where I quickly threw myself together and went down town. I love my family, but goodnight! 3 kids. That is a lot. A lot of small people. I'm not complaining. They are wonderful. It's just that when they come into my world I realize how I've actually GOT my own world out here. Outside of family. I built this up. I put myself here and I'm happy. Just a weird thought.
Also then i ended up in a store I just assumed I would never purchase anything from. Mostly because it's so ridiculously expensive. I walked out of Holts with a bag. A big bag. It made me look much fancier then I am. Plus the stuff in the bag was the cheapest stuff they had in the store I'm sure. Jeans. 2 pairs. A fraction of the cost of what one might expect in that store. A lovely lady recommended a certain particular brand of jean to me and they looked great on her so I tried. I succeeded. Now I don't need pants for a long time. I swear they make the bag bright pink and the handles on the bags extra long just so the person holding them can look super obnoxious. I felt like a tool with my bag smacking into my leg as well as other people legs with this giant fuchsia bag. Sick.
Anyway. Life is good. I made some sort of weird organic beef dish tonight. Turned out pretty freaking delicious. You should come try some.
I hope that you are doing well and that things are running at a good pace. You are lovely,
xo,
