Too much

I'm overwhelmed.

I'm sad.

I'm busy.

I'm confused.

I'm preoccupied.

I'm optimistic.

I'm pessimistic.

I'm realistic.

I'm tired.

I ♥ ruffles!

Anyone who knows me knows that I can't resist a ruffle top ... I love the ruffles! Therefore, there was no way that I could resist a ruffle hoodie, could I?!

I bought it in grey, but have since discovered that it comes in black also ...

Memories ...

I can't help but think back to last year at this time.

A year ago today Dan and I were in Europe -- Vienna, Austria to be more precise. It was such a fun time - out of all of our Eurotrips, I'd have to say that the 2008 Eurotrip ranked pretty high - the 2nd best trip to Europe we've had (with the 1st being Eurotrip 2005 of course, when we got married in Italy)

Tomorrow will be one year ago since we hopped a train, headed to Munich and met up with Angela - then headed to Oktoberfest (which was one of the absolute funnest times I've ever had in my entire life) ...

Ahhh, Europe ...

Wayfinding in Vienna

My day

Took today off from the day job, to focus on getting caught up with some other stuff ... it's kind of hard to work, as it's still SUPER hot (we actually broke another weather record here in Vancouver yesterday) ... but I guess I'd better suck it up and get some work done!!

H-O-T!

Never in my life have I walked outdoors in Vancouver and had it feel exactly like it does when you walk outdoors in Las Vegas in the heat of the summer ... until today ... the past week has been brutal, I think mostly because it's been so muggy and humid. Gross.

From cbcnews.ca:

Wednesday was the hottest day ever recorded in Vancouver, according to CBC meteorologist Claire Martin. At 5 p.m. PT, Environment Canada recorded a record-breaking high of 33.8 C, breaking the previous record of 33.3 C set in 1960.

Temperatures have been soaring across the province all week, hitting the low 40s (in degrees Celsius) in hot spots such as Lytton in the Fraser Canyon, setting records and driving thousands to lakes, pools, and beaches.

Clover

I don't know what it is about her, but I think this little baby is pretty darn cute! :)

Pretty in pink (aka pair #3)

I seem to have "fussy feet" when it comes to shoes - I often find it difficult to find shoes that are comfortable. I've found many times over now that my feet seem to like most Diesel shoes - I actually have one black pair that are so comfy (and versatile) that I bought a second "back up" pair, for when the first pair wear out! I was happily surprised to find the exact same pair of shoes (but in a light pink) when I was at Winners last weekend ... for half price!

I have to admit, I've never bought pink shoes before - but the pink is really quite subtle so I think it's okay. They'll look cute with jeans.
