September 2011

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies.

Today, for no apparent reason, I am feeling sad and lonely. I don’t know why. I just am. I’m sitting on the couch in my PJs, with Chanel curled up next to me. My husband is sitting on the floor, his laptop is on the coffee table, and he’s working every waking moment, like he has been doing for a little while and will continue doing for a few weeks. We’re watching the Grey’s Anatomy season premiere. I wish I was doing something fun today, but two problems: Everyone I’m close to is otherwise busy, and I can’t imagine finding the energy to get out of my PJs right now. Really.

I could go for a walk at the Rotary park with Chanel, I could finally go to the apple orchard, by myself, or I could even go for a drive and blast music in the car. But I just can’t muster up the energy.

I hope that this mood won’t last. But in the meantime, can I just get a hug please?

It's good for the soul!

I had an amazing time in Ottawa. We went straight from the airport to our hotel, which we only came out of ONCE before the Pearl Jam concert, to get food and alcohol. We hung the “Do not disturb” sign on the door, ordered take out, and stayed in bed until an hour before the PJ show. We met a couple outside also going to the PJ show, so we shared a cab with them. Pearl Jam was amazing! We asked for a late check out, and during our last three hours in Ottawa before our plan took off, we visited downtown Ottawa with our suitcase in tow. We visited Parliament Hill, went to the market, bought souvenirs (I bought a really cute tiny jewelry box, a pair of earrings and a necklace.) and took a bunch of pictures (see Facebook). I’m amazed at how well we travel together.

Robyn just left. I drank all of her Jack Daniels. I’m on a Jack & diet coke kick. Getting drunk with Robyn. It’s so good for the soul. That girl knows all of my secrets.  Speaking of secrets… I had a long overdue chat with a group fabulous ladies, and I’m just so thankful for having such an amazing group of supportive friends in my life. Yesterday one of my fellow Moncton twitter people passed away at such a young age, reminding me again that life is so fragile. I’m so thankful for my friends, for my life.

I’m eating a nectarine and it’s delicious.

The new season of Chorale started, and I’m SO so so in love with our Christmas concert repertoire! LOVE it! I’m so looking forward to Monday nights this fall. And Tuesday nights, and Wednesday  nights, and Thursday nights… fuck I love my life. I’m afraid to say this, because I don’t want to sound pretentious…. Or like I’m gloating. I’m just really really grateful. We’re singing the Hallelujah Chorus, how epic is that going to be? And we’re singing my single most favourite Christmas songs ever: O Holy Night. We’re also doing an African song. We’re going to be accompanied by a 20 piece orchestra for the second half of our concert, and we will also have children’s voices at some parts. I can’t wait! It’s December 11, 2011, if you’re in the Greater Moncton Area! 

Excited!

  • Does staying up well past midnight listening to my new chorale practice CD and singing Christmas songs make me a chorale geek?
  • For the first time EVER in my life, tonight my period started like WHOOSH. Through my panties and my pants.
  • Probably because tomorrow evening I fly out to Ottawa to go see Pearl Jam!!! I’m SO excited!!
  • The lady half of a couple who I see on a weekly basis, and that I thought looked sooooo in love, just told me that they’ve been separated for years. They just remained great friends. *picks jaw off floor*.
  • I’m on VACATION for 6 glorious days!
  • Tonight was the start of regular chorale season, and I’m in LOVE with our Christmas program’s songs!
  • Tonight I was sitting here thinking: My life fucking rocks!
  • I love Robyn. Today she helped me out with something HUGE. I’ve never really have the kind of friend that loves you no matter what kind of crazy shit you’re going through in your life, who brings you chicken soup when you’re sick, who drives you to the airport, etc… I just realized that I don’t do nearly as much for Robyn. She never needs my help, she’s freaking superwoman. I just make sure that superwoman has regular wine (or Jack D) and gossip nights.
  • Is September 12 too early to start listening to The Monster Mash? 

Gooood gooood gooood

Good vibrationnnns.

It’s all good.

  • I scored 50% off flights to Ottawa for Sept 13-17, when we go see Pearl Jam! \m/
  • I got two red streaks in my hair and I think it looks kinda hot :)
  • I had a GREAT talk with my hairstylist, whose joyful soul I love so much. We connect on so many level. She really gets me.
  • For the first time in months, I don’t really have any aversions. It feels awesome to not have to eat the same thing over and over.
  • I’ve been tolerating and working pretty well with the one person at work who makes my skin crawl.
  • This week I’ve had fajitas and tacos, which I hadn’t eaten in probably over a year, because of aversions.
  • I dreamed that I smoked a cigarette the other night, but I haven’t smoked one in over 5 weeks, in my awake life!
  • Steph is putting ribs in the crockpot overnight, it’ll be delicious tomorrow!
  • Did I blog about my brother breaking up with his gf? He’s back home and apparently happier than ever. Good for him!
  • It’s September! We’re on the cusp of my very favourite season. I can’t wait to go for a walk in the woods on a bright, crisp day.
  • Next weekend are our two Trial by Jury performances, I can’t believe how fast summer flew by!
  • Which means… regular chorale season starts soon! Yay Christmas songs! (Seriously, I love Christmas songs)
  • It’s a long weekend and I get to sleep in tomorrow, WOOP!
