so it looks like i have a new boy toy. (H)
someone that i know from high school.
saw him last june at a dance (for the kids)...

anyway, as fate would have it our paths have crossed again.
really nice guy!!
he was away for the weekend with his school and brought me presents back. so very unexpected but so greatly appreciated.

we also had the boyfriend girlfriend chat, your not seeing anyone else are you chat initiated by him :) just what every girl wants to hear. it's been a month since we've been hanging out and things are good. feel like i am a teen again. well i am old enough to be two teens. but it feels nice to be appreciated and to have someone to appreciate.

he's not a phone guy, and me neither. so that works well, and he is busy coaching so not upset that i have things to do myself.

respects my schedule!!!
likes to kiss and cuddle!!!
calls when he says he is going to!!!!

wish my heart luck on it's adventure.
shhh i'm nervous.

As seen at the bootom of my street.
A burgandy van, COVERED in mud.

"I wish my wife were this dirty"

this morning i saw the cutest old lady buying a bun from the bakery.
she had a little plastic hood wrapped around her neck, and her husband was waiting for her at the table.
i loved that her hair was in an updo. a 1950s updo, that looked more like the bun that she had in her hand than it did a hair do.

So here I sit, on a Friday afternoon, trying not to run out the back door of the building.
Soooooo challenging.
After having spent a week in detox from the fresh bread, amazing cheeses, and beer, wine, and cava that we consumed. (Some of us out now grounded from drinking cava)... I know have the inspiration to update this blog.

Spending time with my sister in Barcelona was excellent. We went to her gym that has a sea view. So fab. Can't wait for the summer to visit it again. We also went to a spinning class complete with a disco ball, and flashing lights. Sooooo fun.
Also got a taste of riding a bike again. Soo funny because I spend so much time on the spinning bicycle. It is so not the same. Seestor has perfected cruising the vendors down by the marina to buy knock off purses and shades. Funny to see them scatter when the police drive by.
We also got to go to see a concert of a project not a band... 08001. Fabulous. S kindly got me a copy of their disk.

It is just such a different lifestyle. I could quickly get used to.

I also went to shoe heaven. Oh my!!!! Rarely speechless, but there i stood bouche bee. Everything arranged by colour.

Funny how fast the time went.... and now am back at the grind, just dreaming of where my next trip will lead me.

My life summed up in point form:

1. Had a date (?) the other day with someone that I used to hang out with in high school. Funny how things do and don't change over 17 years.
2. Got asked if I was a pro volleyball player on the way out of starbucks the other day. No! Not at all mr man in a cut off tshirt in march. damn that passion tea!!!!
3. decided that i still cannot pack properly after all my travels.
4. checked in on line for my flight to lhr this evening. what a treat. now i can just walk onto the plane. how convenient.
5. have seen my future, after helping grandma clean out her spare room. thrilled to make clean sweep come to life in her home. WOW!!!!
6. babysat lisa's little angels. thought that i might have a rough time..... no such luck. they were sooooooooo cute. and when we got up this morning he was sleeping on the floor. then he chased me out of the house with bye's and kisses.


wish me luck on my travels..... it will be a long day.

but pics and info from barcelona to follow.

my personal favorite.

me and the ladies.
with a little bit of snow. 

we were so excited that this guy showed up at the bar.
however, he was so not friendly. at all.
he was competing (we think) at the rodeo.
not friendly at all.

Bless the new boy in my spinning class last week.
A true January Joiner(JJ), 100 pounds soaking wet.
Why he is in a spinning class trying to burn calories is beyond me.

The instructor in amidst of shouting at us, asks us if we have any requests for songs.

The JJ pipes up and asks her if she can play a slow song.

Bless his little frame :)

This is by far my most favorite picture. 

The fabulous grandparents and AJ, Mother of the groom.

Bata offers reward for shoes

STAFF REPORTER
Police announced a $25,000 award yesterday for the safe return of stolen artifacts from the Bata Shoe Museum, swiped during open hours this past Sunday. The money is being offered by museum founder Sonja Bata, who has been "devastated" by the theft of the artifacts — worth a combined total of $216,000 — from her expansive personal collection, Toronto police Det. Leslie Dunkley told reporters at a press conference.
Museum director Emanuele Lepri called the three items "important assets" whose loss is a "great damage to the museum but also to the community."
The most valuable item in the thieves' booty, a $160,000 pair of jewel-encrusted shoes worn by a 19th-century Indian prince, was reported stolen on Sunday evening. The next day, staff discovered two additional items had been pilfered: a gold anklet, set with diamonds, rubies and emeralds, valued at $45,000, and a gold, diamond and ruby toe ring, worth $11,000.
Dunkley refused to comment on security issues at the downtown museum. Security has been beefed up in the wake of the incident. Dunkley said police are pursuing several leads and that the heist is believed to be "a planned theft and delivery." The antiques have little or no street value and would likely appeal to a specialized market, police said.
This is not the first time the museum has been robbed. Five years ago, a pair of sneakers went missing and was never found, a spokesperson said.
