i'm trying out a new yoga studio on wednesday.

yoga did wonders for me last year, in so many ways.

this year, it's been sporadic, i have been going on & off...

now it's time to make more of a commitment again.

for me.

 i'm so excited.

i feel SO good when i am on my mat.

Haaaaaaaaleluujah!

I STILL have one more day off to go! WOOT!
Have you been wondering what I have been up to??? Well let me tell you...

Friday was Trifecta day. The trifectess who hosted surprised Ms Cupcake & I will little goody bags full of crafty goodness...so we drank coffee, giggle, gossiped & crafted. I LOVE Trifecta day! It's pure bliss! I love you Trifectesses!

Saturday we took the doggies to White Rock beach. Oh my little heart was so warmed to see them frolicking on the sand & in the waves!







I also picked up my new/old desk that morning! It was at an Estate sale...10 bucks! Solid wood! Boy is she going to get a makeover...she is going in the spare room downstairs and she is going to house a lovely new sewing machine!



While that was all very lovely, spending time sans kidlets with the hubby, coffee & chatting...Saturday afternoon takes the cake! Ms Cupcake & I went to meet our new great, sweet, thoughtful, funny, WONDERFUL friend from Roses & Rutabagas. She surprised us with a gorgeous little gifty each...don't be jealous...we have to do some reporting back to her on it, so it's kind of like work! ;) We spent two hours there just chatting & laughing. Then I took Ms Cupcake to the VV Boutique where she scored a lovely little end table.

Today, busy, typical Monday...boys to school...I went to Rotary...2 miles. (LOVE my new runners!) Went to massage therapy...again, don't be jelz...it's not a lovely relaxing massage, it's very soft tissue manipulating...I hurt myself @ yoga 2 weeks back. As a result, the RMT said ABSOLUTELY NOT when I asked him if I could go to yoga in the morning :( Oh well, besides, I'm in pain....

I did however.....SEW! I made a reusable shopping tote (click link to see!)

And now my ass is firmly planted on the couch. The kidlets are in bed...the hubs is watching baseball...and I obviously, am blogging with my tea. Hugs to Ms C today. My thoughts were with you all day mon amie.

Dear friends in blogland, I wish you a restful Monday night!

everything happens for a reason. love, ROCKETGIRL. xo

BIZZY BIZZY BIZZY Can't you see?

quel lundi! seems busy today, but not unmanageable.

first things first. i'm doing ok considering i had oh 2o minutes of sleep? ok, maybe a bit more than 20. thank goodness Mrs C was on nights so i had someone to text @ 0300h!

after the middle school drop off in my housecoat (much to the displeasure of my son), an elementary school drop off, i made it to yoga for the 915 class. and not to be dramatic, but it literally saved my soul today. i cannot believe that i haven't been in a month. if you need a little soul-saving, visit Unison Yoga in Mission. www.unisonyoga.ca/

rosy goes to the vet today for some shots, & then we are going to pick up steve's new truck as soon as the boys are done school, but the best part is, drum roll please.....IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sears just called! My sewing machine is in! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! who needs a handmade Gordon Gartrell shirt (cosby show anyone???)

everything happens for a reason. love, ROCKETGIRL. xo

we usually just hit the costco on sunday

one of the things i wanted to do with my tax return was get new runners. not like i couldn't have afforded them before...it's like bra shopping. just a total chore. but i knew the ones i wanted and they were only at champs in langley. so i dragged the hubby along with me to willowbrook mall to finally get them.

anyhoooo, i got me my pair of runners, steve decided to get a pair of runners also, along with a few t-shirts aaaaand a new TRUCK. yes a truck. it's a lovely big giant toyota tundra. i can hardly get in. but it will fit the growing boys and the doggies . i don't think you will ever catch me driving it....it's that huge. fully loaded and steven is just bursting he is so excited! all growed up & graduated from school & rewarded himself with a new vehicle. it arrives at our home tomorrow.

speaking of tomorrow...re-cleanse, yoga,(YOGA oh i have missed you), and of course some cardio in my new runners. i want to learn to run again. end of the day will be my NEW fave thing to do...tea & MAD MEN! i'm ADDICTED!

everything happens for a reason. love, ROCKETGIRL. xo

the post about nothing.

i have been doing some pondering & wondering:

~who on earth would eat Schezuan KD?
~what on earth are all these social networking sites REALLY for?
~do you think we use our xoxo's a little too liberally?
~why didn't Triumph get more recognition? the band & the car...
~how should i cut my hair tomorrow?

i was supposed to do a night shift tonight but it got cut short by 8 hours. no complaints from me. 4 hours on the floor from hell, my floor, and a quick trip to the gym for a 30 minute cardio session and now, one cupcake, a cup of sweet peas? snow peas? snap peas? later oh and some rice crisps, ( i know, what was the point of the gym) i am sitting here watching PVR'd AI. Hahlariousssssssss. i can safely say it's the most joyous thing i have encountered all day. no wait, i lie. that was the 3rd most joyous. getting to go home early ranks up there. 2nd most joyous was waking up from my FIVE hour nap to find fed-ex had been here with my new yoga mat. most joyous of all was my first born accompanying me to the grocery store. he never wants to come shop. so that was really wonderful...i miss just me & quinn.

wednesday. a bit self indulgent. yoga. houseclean. haircut. mom-stuff. dinner. yoga. bootcamp. chillax & sort some shit out. i'm confused by my family, friends & loved ones.

breathe deeply. i think it will be ok.


love, ROCKETGIRL

:(

i'm enjoying the quiet of the house, the chatter of the tv.

i feel perfectly justified in sitting on the couch right now. the boys are gone, the dog & the steve are asleep. the exam is written (& passed...hello certification), the cookies are finished & wrapped, i went to yoga AND bootcamp. i SO miss yoga. talk about peace & serenity.

i have a raging headache. i ate too much meat & too many cookies. so much for all that exercise. my mind is going crazy. i got worries & troubles. just when things start to look up, i manage to fuck it all up. what else is new. at least i get to sleep in tomorrow.

meh, ROCKETGIRL
