Gay men are the best. Strangers will come up to me with the nicest compliments and it is usually a gay man.
Yesterday, I was walking down town, going to meet some friends at a restaurant for lunch. As I walked by, a couple of gay men (holding hands) walked by me and smiled at me. They kept walking ahead but one kept turning around and giving me the best smiles, then he said “Hello glamorous.” I had to smile back–he was adorable. This continued for awhile and then he turned around and said, “I love your boots.” I thanked him. So I ended up passing them and entering the Twisted Tomato–and guess who followed me in–they sat at the bar while I joined my friends for lunch. They were a sweet couple.
I really like downtown. I could live down there. I love being able to walk everywhere.
I had a great day–made 2 lunch dates at once–one at noon the other at one. I managed to make them both and ended up having good talks with 3 friends I have neglected.
Today I feel tired though–so tired. Taking it easy. Why not? I work out like crazy all week so once in awhile it is ok to rest. Though I have salsa tonight…don’t feel like going at this point.
March break is upon me. Tomorrow Peter wil drive Tabs and Pip to their Granny and Granddad’s. I will pick them up with Mist on Tuesday and drive home Wednesday. Next week we’re off to Seattle.
I have a busy spring lined up for myself: A Vipassana retreat, a Zumba training workshop (s), two conferences to present at (May and June), a Rennaisance Painiting workshop, submitting my thesis study for publishing in journals, submitting 2 novels for publishing, and photographing lots of wild life for my painitings–and applying for jobs non-stop.
Not to mention making sure my girls have a great summer. Because this season is dedicated to establishing my career, family trips will be local camping trips, I think. Because I have to go to France and Spain (conference) might be an option in late summer too. Although, Peter is taking the girls to Saskatoon and then Nelson for 2 conferences. The little darlings will visit their relatives and hopefully not miss too much school!
Feeling good about teaching painting workshops in the fall–I can make decent money, I think.
