9 am training. RR kicked my ass as usual. He spent most of the time laughing at my antics, I asked him if i was his most entertaining client, his response: by far. Then mom and I went to Marcella's for lunch cause Jeff and the girls were there. They're hauntingly beautiful. White blonde hair, huge blue eyes, and reverse identical twins (ones hair parts on the left & is left handed, the other on the right). They'd be so perfect for a Virgin Suicides-esque movie when they grow up. The afternoon was filled with storminess so I cuddled up and read, and Ry and I had some more music lessons (me teaching him Brick by Ben Folds Five on piano).
Wednesday
Went with Mom to Raph's parents salon. They're SO cool. Talked to his mom about given me I-woke-up-in-a-dumpster-homeless-mermaid-chic hair ... aka "ombre." My mom says it'll look like trash. Raph's mom says it will look really cool. And best news of the day "don't cut your hair. I love it." Phew! I was sooooo scared I'd go in there and they'd be like "your hair hasn't been cut since january. It's disgusting." ... Maybe his dad thought that and just didn't say anything...
Came home, felt an earthquake, went over to the Pascaris' to make use of their backyard facilities (pool & chaise lounge). I called but no one answered so I just went right to the backyard and then I see Cakes in the window watching tv. So we had a nice little chat. He said he was gonna come out and swim but never showed. When i was tired of tanning i drove him to the subway so he could go register for school and we talked about wonderful things that didn't involve the office for a change!
Spinning with Joy was wonderful as usual, and even more wonderful because of a cameo by Courtney Clark! (Not in the actual class but afterwards "i thought i saw long brown hair..."). I broke the news that I wouldn't be attending the club's "Young Professionals" croquet match the following day, cause i was going to the cottage... and because i'm neither "young" nor "professional."
Went home, picked up my guitar from getting restrung, and then made plans to see Suzy! So I headed down to the Beaches to her new place! There was all this talk of a huge storm with tornados and hail and "dangerous winds" so i was so pumped ... but so far nothing. Got to her place. It's absolutely amazing. The coziest thing ever with the nicest old wood floors and is set back from the street so far and has a great porch ... "this would be so amazing for tan- "... as i look up and notice that the backyard is completely covered by a canopy of trees! We laughed. She said she just goes to the beach to tan. Makes sense. So we walked to the little restaurant at the corner of her street and had the BEST gossip/catch up session in FOREVER.
Since it had been FOREVER since we'd seen each other. Since 2008??? Oh no wait, we saw each other for about 5 mins in Whistler in 09. But that doesn't count. So yeah, reminisced about Lambert's amazingness and hilarity (especially when ripping on Kyle), and about all the girls and Forrest and Pip and it was just so much fun! I love her! She's the most laid back but still in touch with reality person in the whole world. She drives a yellow jeep. She has my fave tattoo ever (silhouette of birds on her arm). She always has the best facebook display pictures. She has the greatest laugh in the world. She's the real-life mermaid that I long to be.
Today was a great day.
Thursday
I was in a miserable mood this morning. Apparently I slept through some crazy thunder & lightning storm (I NEVER sleep through storms... this narcolepsy thing is really starting to get on my nerves. Jon says my sleeping in til 4 on the weekend was "borderline degenerate behaviour"). Wake up and its still raining so no cottage for me today. I wanted to drag myself to the club for a spinning class but couldnt do it. And Miriam was coming over so i wanted to hang around to see if any gems of psychic wisdom would benefit me. The only gem, which is definitely fools gold or maybe something more like carbon, is that my life is gonna be very "flat" for a while. Awesome. I love having nothing to look forward too. BUT I'd much rather have flatness than a fall-style downward spiral. So maybe "carbon" isn't so bad. Black is my fave color after all.
Speaking of black, the search for black curtains is over! I finally found some today. Nightmare on Elm Dr., get ready for new curtains!
Oh, crashed the Dads' lunch with Jon & Ry today. We forced them to go for sushi. It was great. My fave waiter asked where i'd been and still remembered my "usual" (salad, alaskan roll & salmon sashimi). Peter AND Dad got combo number 7. But unfortch this time peter didnt serenade us with his sushi rendition of combo number 5. L&R, you were missed!
Did some reading. Went to the club for some running and weights action. I'm FIIIIIINALLY getting my pre-broken-bone flexibility back which is nice. On my way home from the club saw Rosemary getting out of her car and she informed me that Reesy & Bud would be arriving any second for a ride to the airport for their England/Croatia trip. So I ran home, hopped in the shower, and ran back to the Dales where we ate sugar snap peas and had a lovely catch up sesh. I bid farewell to Reesy & Bud , scored a banana date muffin, and was on my way home for dinner.
Ryan pointed out a very disturbing internet snippet about my new friend TT. Apparently he beats up girlfriends. I might wanna re-think this whole HR video collaboration idea...
Mom & I had a movie night: Dear John. Meh. Nothing special. The book was sub-par so I wasn't expecting much, and I guess it was as good as I expected it would be.
Bedtime. Going to the cottage tomorrow. The days are winding down and there are still sooooo many people to see! But hopefully i'll take care of Laura, Andrea, Alex, Tim, Ann, Dee, Darcy & Little Wayne (who 4 summers later can't be so little anymore) this weekend, and next week Courtney, Rob, golfing with Mike??, Derek, Sarah, Bree, Maddie, and copious amounts of Tory & Caleigh & Leigh & Robyn. And then i'll be completely satisfied with my trip home. (As long as my astrologer can fit me in for a reading)!
