Well, sometimes! Bella is my youngest cat, she’s a long haired, orange colored tabby! Any time I am “online”, she either lays down beside my feet and naps or she’ll hop up on my chest/part of my shoulder and nap! It makes it difficult to type or surf the net but I love having my kitties near me, hearing their little purrs! She was just on my shoulder sleeping but it didn’t last very long! We have the sliding glass door open, letting in some cooler air and a jet (we’re not far from the airport) flew over scaring her little tushy! She’s hiding in the bathroom, behind the toilet right now! Haha!

I don’t know where Jynx is right now! She heard the jet flying over too and even though I didn’t see her take off, I heard her little claws tapping the floor quickly as she went to hide! Poor babies!

Maybe I’ll do my 365 days shot with them today!

So, the Calgary Flames are out of the playoffs. Yep, the Redwings won game 6 here in Calgary last night in double overtime (which was sudden death overtime). The game was pretty intense! I was really hoping we’d pull through with the win.. at least one more win but it just wasn’t meant to be! There’s always next year though!

It’s finally clearing up outside. I can barely see the mountains, so I’m hoping within a couple of hours it will be cleared up enough that I can walk over to the park and take some shots of them and hoping to take some of the city skyline at sunset and possibly at night! We shall see!

I bought the reseller. I originally went with a different reseller provider but realized I read the description incorrectly and there wasn’t as much space with it as I’d thought. So I went with Resellerzoom! I’ve read some great reviews on them, so I’m hoping things work out nicely! I purchased the domain for the group photography blog, it’s a domain me and Stacey had before called “photographygirls”(dot com). That is why it’s for “girls/women” only! Get it?! lol

I will also be moving this domain to that account, to give Nicole her space back.. I cannot thank you enough for hosting me the last couple of months. I haven’t had a single bit of downtime, to my knowledge! I couldn’t have asked for a better host! :]

I really need to figure out some ideas for 365 days. I’ve got a few brewing right now.. but it’s going to take some warmer weather to do them.. haha! If you have a flickr account, add me! herbrokentoy via flickr.

I’m going to scat now! Just wanted to give a quick update!

So, the other morning after Jo heads into work, I decided I would treat myself to Tim Horton’s. Made my regular order, which included my beloved Iced Capp. They ask me to pull to the window for my total and once it’s tallied, it pops onto the little outside display. The display showed $6.66!! How creepy! If I didn’t love my Iced Capp so much, I would’ve sped away! hahaha!

Speaking of ordering! Can you imagine the troubles I have when speaking to people and ordering! I have to repeat my orders at least 3 or 4 times before the person taking it realizes what I’m ordering!! And the other night we decided to order some individual pizzas, wings and bread sticks from Pizza 73 (which is so delicious by the way) and the guy taking my order just simply couldn’t understand me when I gave him my address! I said it 3 times, the last 2 times being loud and slow! Then he asked me to just spell it out, which I did! He repeated it back to me and I said “No (insert my giggle-fit), it’s blah blah blah!”.. so he read it back to me again, laughing a bit and I said “No, that still isn’t it! I’m sorry if I’m making this hard on you, I’m from Georgia and we speak in a much slower pace and have funny accents!”.. We laughed for a bit and eventually, we got it right! It’s often frustrating for me, so I can only imagine how it is for the person on the other end of the conversation! I cannot help that my accent seems so harsh up here! lol!

I’ve been toying with some ideas for a project I want to start! For myself. I’ve discussed doing it as a group thing at one point, with a few friends and I’ll eventually do that as well! For now, however, I am thinking of starting another blog which will, for the most part, pertain to my life in the city of Calgary (and surrounding locations like Banff, Lake Louise and Drumheller)! I’ll document events I may attend (concerts, hockey games and what not), document experiences at restaurants or resorts (like when Jo finally takes me to places like Banff), places I may venture out to like galleries or parks. Things like that! I’ll include photos with my posts, on most occasions! I plan on exploring this city for the next few months, just getting a feel of things and figured I should document the process! If it goes well and others become interested, I may turn it into a group thing, where users/members can document their own lives, in their own cities!

Yay, nay?

I’m also considering starting a home business! It’s something I’d been thinking about for quite awhile and even spoke to my mom about a few times! My lovely friend Jess runs a small candle business from her home and she is the biggest inspiration in my “idea” and “plan”. I’d like to start up something along the lines of doing gift baskets! Make my own candles, stationary (though I’ll have somethings to figure out with that), greeting cards (maybe post cards), possibly jewelery (this is a stretch, but it’s worth mentioning because it’s bouncing around in my thoughts) and also baked goods, if I can figure out the best way to keep those goods (cookies and candies) fresh. I suppose on the baked goods, it would just be based on the order and not premade (that wouldn’t work lol), so that shouldn’t be too hard to figure out! I have always enjoyed baking and over the last few months, I’ve gotten really good (so I’m told)!

On a completely different note, I started over on my 365 Days, which you can keep up with at my Flickr page! I hated that I had to quit in the latter part of last year but I knew that I’d eventually start back up! I figured it was about time I did just that! I’m hoping to get some inspiration from some of my pals that have been doing this since I began the first time! Hopefully I’ll get more creative with time!

We’re doing a “date” day tomorrow! Jo’s off from work and we’ve decided we’re going to do “dinner and a movie”, by feasting on Singapore Sam’s (which I love, even though I was told I was eating crab meat the first time I ate there.. only to find out it was Calamari!! aka, SQUID! ewww) and then we’re going to catch 300, if it’s still playing!

We have a few errands to run as well! We need to set up a separate bank account, that I can use with my paypal and what not, which will be completely separate (different bank as well) from our primary accounts! Then we have to run to a few stores to pick up a few things, like a new office chair! My behine is going to be so thankful to get into a much comfier chair! I’m hoping the weather is going to be nice too, I’d like to take a walk when we get back from doing everything! I’m thinking of brining my camera along for the walk and possibly get some shots of the mountains from our area!

I think for now though, I’m going to catch up on a few blogs and emails! Then I’m going to dry my hair and hit the sack!
