Vancouver may have it's many drawbacks, but when you slow down long enough to smell the flowers (or grow them) you realize what a crazy, interesting, beautiful city this is, full of endless endless possibilities. At any second, if you take the time, you will see on one side of the street a woman yelling hysterically at what appears to be thin air while on the other side of the street a local takes the time to show the traveling couple from Ireland where to find the best Coffee, or see the best band, or eat the best food. This city is a melting pot of opposites, and you know what they say, opposites attract. So next time you are feeling a little out of sorts and frustrated with the people who walk like they have nowhere to rush to (meanwhile you do) down Robson street, head down to the Art gallery to see the buskers who's talent may surprise you, or have a drink on a rooftop patio while listening to the hustlers in the street. But whatever you do remember, there is no place like home!!
1. Nothing is set in stone
2. My room will not clean itself
3. My leather boots are not built for the rain (slosh slosh) so now I worship my rainboots
4. It is impossible to look cute in a baseball cap and t-shirt (even if they are pink)
5. Working on Robson in Vancouver is as entertaining as it is frustrating
6. Cupcakes will always put a smile on my face!
7. A good friend is someone who, even if you haven't talked to them for a million years, acts as if you see each other everyday!
8. It is incredibly hard to not shop, by not impossible!
9. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you realize you don't
10. Don't take life too seriously!! or at least try not to.............
Now I'm off to learn my May lessons!

kristen and i first met in oct 2004.... we were both working at the river rock casino. although we weren't besties at first sight, it didn't take long for our friendship to spark. i cant remember the exact date but it was a work day, we were both scheduled to go to some random off site training program. our transportation to the training/our manager didn't show up! so what else were we to do besides take the day off and go shopping!! :) lol, a wonderful way to start a new friendship! not long after i had invited kristen out with a gf and i. bar of choice that night was the roxy YUK! haha, we still had a great night regardless of the hole in the ground bar choice. most memorable night of the beginning of our friendship soon followed very soon after. pre-drinking/dance party started at my kits beach bachelor apartment full of great memories. if i can remember correctly wine was the drink of the night soon followed by vodka!! destinations of the night were the cellar and the royal. cant remember to much besides meeting some great oz boys haha. after a long night of dancing, pizza from numero uno and fritz fries were to follow. it was then were our tradition started of great late night eats and the perfect spot to post up was found! (we still sit in the same spot to this day) a white wall on the cross streets of davie and grandville. our oz boys soon found us in our not so secret spot for more adventures. we got back to my place late late night, got into our pjs and it the hay. but don't be fooled the night was not over, we had decided that we weren't yet ready for the night to be over. we had walked down to our favorite breakfast joint for some early morning bennies. to bad it didn't open for another two hours! haha, we then decided that it was well worth it to stay up and wait for them to open. this is where our beach adventure started. i would like to say that we watched the sun raise but it already had haha, instead we played on the swings, in the sand and took pics. we then enjoyed our great zen breakfast with all the early morning kits ppl, im sure looking a bit ridiculous!! bed soon followed at 8 am, oooh the good old days :)
