torn.
i love when i get to play songs on the radio that i love. like this awesome 90's track...
i'm working in kelowna today. its so grey. so very very grey.
there is a remote on for a jewellery store. valentines and christmas always seem to baffle me when they are trying to sell you on spending hundreds of dollars on the most materialistic gifts - painting women as these superficial barbies who will be unhappy with their husbands/partners if they don't get somthing pretty, sparkly, and expensive.
diamond stud earrings are the last thing i would want. in fact, i don't really expect a gift from tyler at all for valentines day. i would much rather just have a nice dinner and do something fun together. we don't often take the time to do fun things just the two of us... it something i am always wanting to change. but it never seems like there is anything to do. i was really excited because we were planning a date night for tonight with sarah and kyle and my mom and dean... but... i realized like two days ago that i have to work tonight. total bummer. and it bums me out even more that my mom and dean and sarah and kyle are still going. but i hope they have a good time.
and now... i am going to carry on with my all day, all night work day.... it is basically just going to go on forever. with a small break to sleep, before i have to be back tomorrow morning bright and early for more WORK!

another easy sunday morning.
easy sunday mornings seem to be getting less and less easy in the music department. it doesn't really sound that different from our regular programming. and, believe it or not, i actually prefer the easy programming.
anyway...
i have finally gone back to bootcamp! yay me! greatest loser 7 started the week we went to mexico, so i missed that week. but then even the week after we had come back i couldn't motivate myself to go. so... as far as the office greatest loser competition, everyone has two weeks of working out on me. on friday i did some pretty intense exercises that i didn't think i could have done. even kelly was impressed - she tried one of them as an experiment. so that was cool. and i did some glute work outs... and actually, but butt has hurt SO BAD all weekend. haha. every time i walk... it hurts. along with the work outs i have been working really hard on eating better. and tyler has had really off and on work, so we are living on a pretty tight budget. its amazing how much money you save by eating simply. i have been eating so many carrots and hummus and celery with peanut butter. mmmmmmm. and eggs. lots and lots of eggs. even tyler is getting really good about making himself dinners. he created some tuna pasta dish the other night with a creamy sauce that he made with coconut milk. makes me feel good when he cooks himself good tasting things and doesn't complain about how i never make dinners and he's hungry and we have no food. did i mention i live with basically myself at 14?
been practicing my guitar, although not as much in the last week because i have been busy with dance classes too. but my first 3 fingers on my left hand are hard on the ends thanks to some callouses i seem to have developed. but this means i can play for longer without my fingers hurting. so i can't really complain.
it is FREEZING in studio this morning. and reading amy's post about planning a trip to hawaii just makes me more and more bitter about how cold it is in here. i have done too much traveling in the last 6 months to be content with how it is here. i just want to be somewhere else. somewhere warm. somewhere different. somewhere you can walk around the town and just look around and enjoy your surroundings. i am over vernon. over it a long time ago, actually.
stumbleupon.com has motivated me to create a home space that i actually enjoy too. like laura talked about in her post about finding a nice place and moving. i deserve to live in a space i enjoy and that reflects my personality and makes me feel good to be in. so i am on a mission to create that... on the cheap, of course. tyler has brought home some cool stuff off the side of the road. he found these two very interesting lamps (which i had a hard time deciding if i liked, or disliked... but i decided they just needed some new shades). i saw this really cool tutorial where you print pictures on velum paper and then stick them around the lampshade. so we are going to use pictures from our trip to cover the lamp shades and then put them in our living room. the other thing he brought home is a chest of drawers (i think is the proper term?) which we are going to turn into an entertainment stand (i HATE our current "entertainment stand" which is just a wire shelf - it shows all the cords and just looks so tacky). tyler isn't working tomorrow... so his job is to build the top row of drawers into a shelf (for xbox, dvd player, etc) and then i will sand it and paint it... and we just need to find some nice new handles for the drawers. i'm excited. its going to look really nice. i think i am going to paint it white, with maybe some green for the inside of the shelf. or maybe... i will find some cool wall paper for the inside of the shelf. haven't decided completely yet.
i also saw this really cool homemade couch made from pallets! it is a big sectional like the one we have... so the base is pallets, and then you get some nice thick foam and make cushion covers and voila! the pallets provide some storage for magazines, video games, books, or whatever else you want to stick in there (storage is always an issue in our house). AND... the best part... is the cats can't scratch and destroy the frame, like they have to our current couch. so i am on a mission to collect a bunch of pallets - which i also have at least two other projects for.
i'm excited. i feel like things are all falling into place now, and i am back in control of my life and my time. working out. eating better. creating. and doing things that make me happy too. its all good!
