Music Therapy-Black Liner Run by She Wants Revenge

Fill in the Blanks Friday- I know... it's Saturday....


What a gorgeous wedding dress!

1. I am looking forward to My wedding!! It's September 10th so not too long now. I keep day dreaming about it .

2. Something kind of embarrassing that I still love anyway is Teen dramas- books, tv shows, and movies .

3. My favorite car is I don't drive or have any interest in cars, but I do like convertibles, and vintage cars .

4. If I could pick one type of weather to live with for the rest of my life it would be Hawaii weather. It's warm, but never too hot unless you're sitting in direct sunlight all day. Perpetual summer please .

5. My favorite thing to do after a bad/stressful day is Listen to music. Music has always played a huge part in my life, growing up as a dancer, and now as a DJ. Music is my security blanket .

6. This weekend I am going shopping, going to Amanda's bday, babysitting an eight month old baby, DJing for the Tiesto After party and on Monday (which I have off) VOTING! .

7. If I were a color, I'd be Turquoise because, I am a mermaid .

Hope you're all having lovely mornings! I'm up early since I went to bed at 10pm last night due to sheer exhaustion...... which now that I think about it, is quite a strange expression... how can exhaustion be sheer?? Just had a good talk about it with Josh lol.... moving on...

I simply adore weekends. I know everyone does but I have been having the best weekends this year, even though I'm working through most of them. It helps that I love my job because I get to take the kidlets on adventures in the sun. I could even say that working with children on the weekends is what has been so magical. I love the enthusiasm of kids, everything we do is AWESOME! and FUN! Which is generally how I see life. Plus I get to do all the things kids get to do, like petting zoos, playing on playgrounds ect... Good Stuff.

Today I am taking my little sister Madilynne (from Big Brothers Big Sisters) shopping. She got has a large sum burning a hole in her pocket, and I am always down for shopping, especially in downtown Victoria. We have such a beautiful city and harbour... sigh. :) I love where I live SO much!

Then tonight is my friend Amanda's bday! You may recognize her from many pictures on this blog :) We're going to dinner at The Office, followed by a night of dancing at Hush Nightclub, a place I DJ at often. I love being a dolled up creature of the neon night! Can't wait :D

I'm also DJing tomorrow night at a Post Tiesto Show Party at Sopranos with Josh. Pictures to come!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

That's Audrey Hepburn!

What's the last thing you put in your mouth?  Co.......ffee!

Do you believe ex's can be friends?  Sure, but sometimes it's just best to go your seperate ways. That "not dating but still close" relationship could end up effecting your next one.

Did you ever lose a best friend? When I was 13 my very close cousin Whitney passed away from cancer at the age of 12. I still tear up when I hear the song she requested  for her own funeral; What A Wonderful World...

What is wrong with you right now?  Slightly drained of life force from all the exercise from yesterday.

How's your day going so far?  Pretty leisurely. I still have to go to my Big Brothers Big Sister one year check in, since I've been matched with Madilynne for a whole year already!

Do you find it in your heart to forgive? Yes  . I really can not hold a grudge. I just want to be everybody's friend.

Anything you're looking forward to?  My Stagette! It'll be on a boat and sailor themed! Also for my sister Brittany to come visit at the end of May.

Did you ever waste too much time on a certain boy or girl?  I don't think any of the time I've spent with my past lovers had been wasted; I enjoyed it. I definitely wasted too much time getting over it though...

What was something that happened to you in 1998?  I turned 13  .

Do you like peanut butter?  I really do.  

Have you been to the ENGLAND?  I lived there for 3 years  , and LOVED it! :D

Dream country?  Canada is pretty much a dream  , but I also LOVE France....le sigh.

The thing you love about relationships?  What I love about MY relationship is how we have our own, independent lives and complete trust in the other. I've never had that before, and I think that's why nothing ever worked out. I also love the safe feeling of coming home to someone who loves, appreciates and gets me <3 It's the first time I've felt like I've had a real home since I moved out from my parent's house.
I'm a very lucky lady :)

Favorite ice cream?  Chocolate

Could you date someone who has been only your friend for a long time?  Every time I tried to date a good friend it turned out to be similar to dating a cousin; awkward.

Are you typically a jealous person? I've had my moments... but they're becoming fewer and far between. Especially since being engaged. It's pretty much the most committed anyone has ever been to me, so what's the point of being jealous? Josh really doesn't give me any reason to be. :)

Is there such thing as perfect relationship?  Pretty close, but nothing is effortless  . You both have to be participating in the relationship.

Music Therapy- Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton - Reading in Bed

Dear Diary....

Today started off wonderfully with a lazy sleep-in and good morning dreams. I always have the best dreams after I've pressed snooze button and have gone back to bed. :)

I leisurely made coffee and played with my kitties, then had a l o n g a s s shower. Sunshine was pouring into my kitchen and life was good. Then right about then the day spiraled out of control. I don't really want to get into it but it involved a lot of family drama, from both sides. There definitely was some hot blood running through me and all 3 of my sisters and my stepmomma today. Taylor girls gone wild.... and not the good kind of wild.

I had to work with Skye, so I biked over around noon, picked him up then walked all the way back to my house as he fell asleep in his stroller. My cell phone needed charging and so did my soul. My kitties and my home are pretty effective at calming me, as well as music. I listened to a little Emily Haines and Counting Crows and wallowed in my emotions for a bit. After about an hour I felt slightly less weepy, and Skye woke up. Seriously, that little guy has the best effect on my mood. He is just so honest and pure, and he makes me take time to enjoy the moment.

We had some eggs and hash browns then picked up Tyra Barks, my downstairs neighbor/friends' dog. We walked Tyra around the beach near my home, and basked in the random sunshine that was supposed to be rain. I really enjoy when weather people are wrong. Especially when it means there WILL be sunshine. HA! Take THAT gloomy, stupid rain! We get a lot of rain here on Vancouver Island... it gets old.

We dropped Tyra off, and then jumped on the bus to the swimming pool (I tried to take him swimming yesterday, but it was closed for Easter). When we got there we were denied due to it not being family swim time. So we hung our heads stomped out in a huff since we both really wanted to go swimming. I picked a tulip out of their garden in protest lol. Tomorrow we're going to attempt a third pool visit....

As my day came to a close, and I rode my bike home as fast as I could go, I began to unwind. I always only ride my bike fast- it's the only speed my legs go btw ;) . Once home I shed the layers of bike riding attire and surrendered into my fiance's arms and greatlfully accepted the glass of wine he had waiting for me. Now I can finally just let this day go and just BE for the next 3 hours until dream-time. I have to wake up at 6am to ride my bike to Moksha Yoga for my reception shift and then Powerflow (hardcore advanced yoga) class. Even though it' ridiculously early, I CAN NOT WAIT! Yoga is my saving grace. After every single class I feel renewed and full of life, like I can concor the world! I definitely need me some of that right about now. Plus a little endorphines never hurt anybody ;)

Thus concludes my shitty yet enjoyable day.
This is Happy Ness, signing off.

Good night internet land.
Nessa loves you.
