4:09 pm - Locals: Kitchener Rib & Beer Fest
|
I'll be heading to the Kitchener Rib & Beer Fest tonight around 7:00 and possibly Sunday afternoon again since it is going to be a nice day *knock on wood*. I don't eat ribs, but I do enjoy good company, beans, and beer. I think this will be my "practice run" for the festival in Ypsilanti, Michigan this coming weekend :)
Peace,
Rebecca

10:46 am - Washington: Last Month

Mt. Baker, Washington
Apparently I have vertigo when there are no guardrails on the side of highways when ascending a mountain.

10:35 am - Tri-Pride
|
Local Folks! (Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge/Guelph) Anyone going to TRI-PRIDE this weekend? I am thinking it would be a potentially great day for a trip to the Brick Brewery and then off to Pride for the afternoon on Saturday in Victoria Park.
Peace,
Rebecca
PS: Life is good. I am not changing cities/provinces/countries for the next month :)

11:06 am - Hot Springs, Barren Earth, and... Elves?
|
(Finally got around to posting about Iceland. I've written a long blog post here if you're interested!)
Quick Synopsis
- Got food poisoning and went to the hospital
- Two thumbs up to finding a local to give you a tour
- The scenery was fantastic
- Food was extremely expensive (and don't even consider ordering a mixed drink)
- Apparently, there is a large elven folklore
- Swimming outdoors in the cold is very popular because the pools are hot
- The Blue Lagoon was incredible
- There are lots of horses
- Reykjavik has a plethora of vegetarian restaurants
current mood: Monday

11:47 am - May Calendar
|
Enclosed is my May calendar. Please let me know if I've left anything out or if I should be including something. I'm going to be gone for parts of the month to Ottawa and Vancouver; looking forward to catching up with various folks.
OTTAWA folks: Anyone want to get together on Saturday May 9th during the day? I have a hankering to go to the St. Albert's cheese farm... or perhaps have breakfast? (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) reyl, j_v_lynch ... anyone, Bueller???)

10:23 am - I took the blue pill
|
Yesterday I had a root canal (suffering in pain for a few weeks now, nice to have this gone) and today, I have a whole new kind of pain and feel like I've been kicked repeatedly in the face. Not fun! I am mildly irritated by the fact that I paid for 2K worth of work, and they only had time to do the r.c. while I was under, but at least all of my dental work for the next 1-2 months is now covered (I've already exhausted my benefits in this regard) so it's sadly out of pocket. Oh well. I'll have a nice tax return next year... On an entirely positive note: I am really impressed with oral sedation. Those little blue pills are pretty powerful. Once minute, I am reading my book and at the next moment, I am waking up as the dentist is finishing his work. I don't remember anything - just the way I like it when I go to the dentist :)
Now, if only I would stop feeling nauseous from taking that Tylenol 3 this morning...
This weekend/next week, I'm looking forward to being much less of a hermit :)
Peace,
Rebecca
PS: John is just lovely. He just came in with all kinds of mushy foods for me to eat. Organic vegan lasagna and so delicious chocolate ice cream bars. Yum. Being in pain is less troublesome where there is someone loving around to be spoil-some.

11:50 am - Iceland, Ottawa, Life
|
Iceland was completely eventful (both +/-) but mostly (+). It was beautiful, rugged, untouched, and expensive as sin (even with the collapse of their economy). Pictures will be posted on Monday. I can't wait to go back.
We were supposed to be in Ottawa this weekend, but an event that we were attending (that we thought was in Ottawa) is, in actuality, in Gananoque. Therefore, we canceled our flights and are driving. Both flights are now mine. I rescheduled 2 flights and will be in Ottawa May 8th-10th and May 29th-31th (WJ arriving 10:15 pm Friday, departing 5:00 pm Sunday) both times. I would love to see people!
Tonight, we're going to Orangeville for a raw foods dinner, a lecture by Dr. Brian Clement of the Hippocrates Health Institute, and drumming and dancing. Tomorrow, we will be up bright and early for a beautiful 4 hour drive to Gananoque.
I am beyond blissful that it's finally (truly) spring outside.
Peace,
Rebecca

Enclosed is my April calendar. Please let me know if I've left anything out or if I should be including something. Still trying to finalize Ottawa plans for the 19th and 20th. Weekend of the 25th and 26th is still open, but I might just leave it that way - it's going to be a busy and adventurous month.

12:12 pm - Quick Note
|
I don't seem to post much anymore (but I still read you all)... life is good. I'm becoming less busy, and I'm enjoying "being". John and I have met some fantastic new friends in Guelph, we're busy planning trips and such, planning life and such, and everything is quite yummy.
Peace,
Rebecca

12:54 pm - Life Recap / Trip Planning
|
It seems I am very much like horsetraveller in the fact that I would much rather plan trips than shop for clothes :)
- Had a great, but tiring vacate in OC/Mexico last weekend - I'll eventually post about it
- Spent an interesting w/e in Niagara this weekend past
- Rather randomly, we have decided to go to Iceland for Easter
- Thinking of using my WestJet credit for a Halifax trip over the May long w/e
- I am hoping to use abuse Air Canada for a trip to Ottawa soon
- We have no idea what we are going to do with the rest of our aeroplan points
In a nutshell, life is pretty good. Busy, of course, but good. There is happiness :)
I'm really looking forward to this upcoming long weekend to relax and get caught up on all my Yoga Teacher Training work, and to finish a couple of web sites - but nothing too strenuous.
Peace,
Rebecca
