....running through my mind these days. How can a person be busy with activities they enjoy, and surrounded by family / friends who love them, but still be unsure about virtually everything in life?
So, when I need to think, I retreat into my little world, listen to music (downloaded some great stuff for the Ipod, including "Let My Love Open the Door", which also makes me really want to go see the new Steve Carrell movie), watch some movies (I heart Movie Village, and I've seen some really good flicks in the past couple of weeks - Lord of War, The Manchurian Candidate, Marathon Man), watch some television (I've recently discovered Big Love, and while I'm definitely the jealous type and could never be involved in a polygamous relationship myself, I do love the show - Jeanne Tripplehorn rocks!).
One of the things I've been pondering of late is that - at this stage in my life (ie. single) - if I do want to think about purchasing property in Winnipeg, I may start looking at some condos in the downtown. A co-worker of mine has this amazing loft in the Exchange (stone walls, hardwood floors, high ceilings - all in all, an amazing space). Question is....do I want to make the commitment of purchasing property right now?? My first instinct is no. What's holding me back? I guess I always thought when I finally took out a mortgage, I'd be doing it with a husband / boyfriend....but I'm 32, still single, and have realized lately that's likely how I'm destined to live out the rest of my life. So, no reason to procrastinate any longer, right?

Sinful Pleasures
(1) A friend and I went to the "Sex and the District" event on Friday night in the Exchange District. Stores were open late (clothing and jewellery heaven!), serving drinks and appetizers as you shopped, DJ's were playing music, bars were open early serving cocktails and sushi, fashion shows were on the runway - all in all, a really fun cool event! I hadn't realized how many funky little boutiques have opened up in the Exchange lately (now I know what I'll be doing during my lunch hour from here on out!) - it really is turning into Winnipeg's own little Greenwich Village! A great event for many reasons, not the least of which is that it brought people into the area at night - hopefully, this will become a more frequent regular event.
(2) I've sworn off cheesecake. For anyone who knows me, that should come as a major shock. Well, I've sworn off almost all cheesecake. I need to lose a few pounds, so cutting down on "junk food" is a good way to start. But when I was in New York City a couple of weeks ago, I tasted the most delicious cheesecake on the planet at Roxy's Deli in Times Square - AMAZING!!!! So I've decided that (since it's not readily available) cheesecake from Roxy's isn't included in the ban. Now, however, I'm really craving it. And they ship orders. But only within the US. Anybody got any bright ideas for getting a little NYC treat up to Winnipeg without too much trouble???

You're Still Out There?!?
Really? Some people still read this thing? Wow, guess I'd better start writing again!! Okay, so...an update....
(1) No longer writing for the Sun, stopped in April. Just didn't feel right anymore, for various reasons. I am, however, working on my first novel, so stay tuned in the not-so-near future for that! I'll likely start to explore other writing options at some point in the not-so-distant future also, any suggestions as to where you'd like to see me in print?
(2) I've stepped back into my introverted ways over the past couple of months, been a long year with a lot of occurrences I didn't anticipate (or at least, in some cases, didn't anticipate the stresses involved in the occurrences), including a couple of job changes and a relationship break-up over the summer. Don't want to talk about it, but yes, I am single again.
(3) I'm trying a couple of new activities this fall (figured I needed something to do other than tv nights with the cat - LOL) including joining a trivia team and a dodgeball league. Not sure yet whether I'll continue to pursue my pseudo-acting career in the MBA annual play. I've decided only to pursue activities I'm genuinely interested in, as I've realized I've lived a lot of my life doing the things I think I'm supposed to do, not the things I really want to do.
And if you're out there reading this, tell your friends I'm back, and post a comment to say hi! Don't want to be writing to dead air!
