Consumed by Love

A dear friend of mine sent me this poem by Mary Frye to mourn a loss we both share:

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

Thanks Jenn. I believe they're having tea & cupcakes up there, just like we do!

Till we meet again

We will miss you mum.

They've arrived!

My presents have come in early! Spring boots! Not too shabby for an online purchase - On sale, Free Shipping & an extra coupon for 15% off on top of the sale price makes Daphne a very happy birthday girl.

Oscar picks

Congratulations to Danny Boyle and Slumdog Millionaire!

I was a little disappointed that Benjamin Button didn't win anything. I've also made a note to see many more of the nominated movies. But no Oscars is complete without oohh-ing & ahh-ing over the beautiful gowns & couture. Here are my fashion faves of the night:

Suburb Alert!

Beauty junkies Rejoice! There's another addition to much anticipated Sephora arrival to Vancouver. Along with the eagerly awaited location in Pacific Centre in downtown, I've discovered that Coquitlam Centre is getting its very own Sephora too! Right across from H&M! Yay!

Happy Valentine's

A night's stay at Le Soleil was divine.

A soft, plush king sized bed, chocolate fondue, Inniskillin, 2 large LCD tvs, bubble tea, dinner @ guu, warm sake and lotsa cuddles were all that made this Valentine's perfect.

Hope yours was just as special.

Newsflash

I've discovered that its possible to dilate your own pupils. I did and then spent the next 36 uncomfortable hours functioning with 1 eye.

moral of the story? wash your hands after handling ALL medication!
