I had a dream last night I was Metric's impromtu stylist. Such a cooool dream, she was such a diva and didnt know my name but I ended up with VIP tickets so a small concert in a crappy elementary school gym. Awesome! It could happen right? She could be like coming thru on a tour bus and halted by a snow storm and gets bored so throws a concert in Isabella Dicken, right, shaaaa could happen.

Action packed action

Finally the 600 block of 2nd Ave is seeing some real action since Fields had smokes on sale.

Juicey Goodness

Im a sucker for anything local, so when I recieved a bottle of the Columbia Vineyards Merlot Private Reserve as a gift, I was open minded, even tho the labelling made it look like a home brew jobbie. Anyway, last night the bottle was accidentley chilled a bit too long in my truck. When I opened it and served it later, it was fairly chilled. BY GEORGE! It was fannnnntastic!! Juicy, Fruity, Low Acidity High Alchohol, grape juice! Cherries and Black Fruits and Jams and Spice! Just fucking lovely. Pick up a bottle and through in the fridge till ya ready to have. (Red Wine chilled is actrually a very accurate way to enjoy by professional standard)

Ha HA

i dont know why exactly, but this pic just KILLED ME! hahaahhahahahaha


hahahahaha
 hahahahahhahhhahha

Uggg.

The Ant-HST referendum will cost the province 30.1 million dollars. If is passes and continues, what a fucking waste of money, if it wins and we lose the HST back to PST, we look like fucking idiots to competing provinces of Alberta and Ontario, wont they be smiling all the way to bank while we lose business and opportunity to them.

fuuuuuuuck what a messsss. I hope it stays to be honest, Im already over it. But wow, thanks mostly-ill-informed petition signers, thanks for the referendum!  I bet not even HALF of the people that signed the petition go out and actrually vote on this thing. BET YOU!

Light em up.

Some guy is really getting into the Christmas spirit, setting his lights to Slayer's Raining Blood

Harvesting Fernie

new Fernie blog alert!
http://harvestingfernie.blogspot.com/

busy lady

Sorry for slacking on the posts, been crazy busy I swear! Im running around getting Freyja stocked, locked and ready to roll for the Christmas and ski season and getting the Gold Gala up and running. Ive been working on the new Fernie Music Festival committee, which Im stoked about. Plus, Im driving to Calgary once a week to complete my level one in the International Sommelier Guild's Sommelier program. Then I took a business financial managment course put on by FABDA, which was over-the-top  fabulous! I went to a naturopath doctor and learned all kinds of new things about me, Ive joined Sue Bawden meditation classes and life coach program and on top of all the new exciting things happening in my life Ive some serious highs and lows with my personal life. Basically, Im busy.

Life is crazy and life goes by fast. Gotta stop and smell the...fresh snow and keep yourself in the moment and not in the past or worried about hte future. Carpe Diem my people! And for some reason the saying "its always darkest before the dawn" keeps popping in my head this week, maybe one of you out there had to read that today... Peace

LOCO

This SNOW IS FUCKI|NG CRAZY!

Give it a good review and get back to me

So I see the new Drinking and Driving laws are taking some major heat from the restuarant industry, Nice to see that they are mulling over having a review.  I think that they should be looking in to this. Money is being lost people! And at the end of the day this new alcohol limit is not going to stop the drunk drivers, people who choose to drink and drive are still gonna do it.. AND THEY ARE! What they need to do is develop is a fresh idea to tackle repeat offenders and the actual bad guys that are ruining it for the good people of this province.


I do feel its rediculous and I really do feel sorry for the restos and bars who have MANY law abiding customers that are spending less money. And I feel sorry for ME! I want to order a nice bottle of wine at the restaurant with dinner and make good choices, but now Im scared, and Im confused what to do so instead Im ordering house wine and not finishing it. FUCK.
 
Whats next? Prohibition, oh cuz that really worked out. If this shit keeps up Im moving to Europe, or at least to a place that gets it, and gets me!

On top of these new rules and the new Fun Police ByLaw that the City of Fernie is trying to pass, Im feeling dejected, Im feeling like Im going to hell, I feel like Im living in the 50s and my greaser boyfriend is making my dad sweat, I feel like insecure chrurch ladies everywhere are rejoicing, all of this makes me feel like rebelling EVEN MORE!! ANARCHY!!

Cool

46 Days

Alright Im sure the real  hippees in town are gonna give me some heat for this but, Im just so full of joy, I have to share. I go to Cranbrook to visit my dentist, had a little cleaning, had no cavities! I was feeling good, saucy if you will. So I decided to treat myself to a lil soy latte from Starbucks.
I walk in and all the Christmas presents and decos are out. Im like "YAAAAAY".
Why? Because Im sick in the head. hahahahaha
I love Christmas retail. I love it!!!!
All the little gift packs, all the shiny things, the Christmas to-go cups! AAhh my heart was racing! What can I buy and for whom? Can I wrap them? Christmas Christmas, shopping shopping shopping!!!! YAAAAAAY!
I cant help it, I love it. I love the hustle and bustle and snacks and treats and booze and presents and buzz and smiles and crazyness and food and wine and liqueurs!!!
Family stuff is okay I guess, but really Ijust  like the retail and the food parts.
No I didnt shop, I just got my latte and smiled, The As Good As Gold Gala is 25 days away and Christmas is 46 days away! Bring on the Baileys, Bring on the Ovaltine Mint Sticks, bring on the snow, bring on the love people!!

Weekly Rant

Open Letter All To Freegans:

You know what? Everyone really IS laughing at you. Go ahead there and sift through garbage and eat garbage and tell me you've "figured" it out, ohhh ya you are sooo clever beating the "man" by eating bagels from a dumpster and bragging you live on a dime a day, ooooooooo. You know what else? Fuck you. If you want to live in a society of no money then get the fuck off my sidewalks and roads and dont you dare enter my hospital. Im breakin my back working in this society paying taxes and generating something in my local and global ecomony and you just think you can come in and freeload with your ignorant comments, distorted views and stinky trash ass. Fuck you. Look the fuck around, take a good damn look at your beautiful country and the AMAZING opportunities you have in Canada, and by geez, how the fuck do you think all that comes together???? The facilities to educate yourself, heal yourself, have a baby safely, enjoy a movie, have a music festival, etc etc.... You dont think any of that costs anything? And those people dont deserve compensation so they can be apart of society and pay taxes for all the things we in turn use adn need, and have money for their families? fuck you. If you wanna live in the dump, go ahead, but you better fucking stay there. Get a clue.

This really entertained me.

I knew I still had a chance!

Aside from the fact that I cannot WAIT to get my hands on the new Keith Richards autobiography, he just spilled that the Stones are touring next year. HAHA wow. Woooow. Whatever! Gereatrics at its best and I will pay!

Beauty Basics

Okay, I feel compelled to post this. Time after time I get asked and asked by ladies in the community on how to apply make up. I know! Its so silly, but ya, it is confusing, but this should be easy, but its not!  Cuz no one really shows you these things. Even though its your gaddamn face to the world! I swear, honestly some of this should be basic life skills that they should teach in high school. Seriously, they really dont teach you how to eat properly in high school, may as well teach the ladies how to put on a face...for the so many reasons a lady should know this stuff !

Im not trying to give a lecture on makeup, Im just saying, regardless of how you think society should be, the fact is that we live in a society where you want to know how to put your best face forward at times, makeup can and will make you feel more confident and sexy, its just the way it is so lets all learn the basics people!

These videos from The globe are fantastic, you can always you tube some insturctions on something you arnt sure of. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/style/beauty-basics/

Something to do while sipping coffee and.....

Have a wonderful Friday Everyone.

And all the kids and families and travellers willl be out basking in what will look pretty damn rad in the winter sky. But in order for this to happen, the community is invited to the Arts Station for some lantern making workshops so we can pull this shit together. Ol Oz isnt making all these lanterns himself!

 Heres some pics from lantern fest around the world...

 

The Lantern Fest is on Nov 20th!

Amazing. Simply Life Changing.

So ya, I gotta be honest I was suuuuper skeptical of this kinda thing before, saying you are going to a "Life Coach" to me before, felt like I had somewhat failed at life or couldnt get my shit together. But I sucked up that feeling, changed my mindset about it to, "sometimes you need a tune up and a shake up and focused" and thats what a life coach did for me. That was a couple years ago, my life has dramatically changed for the good. So Im happy to help promote Sue Bawden at Evolve Ink. Shes got some great new workshops coming up....Heres her memo....

Hi everyone
I am pleased to be offering a variety of interesting workshops for November and early December. Below you will see an offering of workshops ranging from Meditation to general Self Awareness/Health & Wellness. Some are only a few hours, others are a series in the afternoons or evenings over the course of several weeks. Some are complimentary while others have a fee but are eligible for the “Evolve” 2 for 1 Community Coupon offer.
In 2010 I have had the good fortune to train at the Chopra Center (Dr. Deepak Chopra) in California several times and I am delighted to share with you their fascinating teachings particularly in the field of meditation. The many benefits of meditation have been understood by practitioners for thousands of years. Science is catching up to prove its merits to the masses and can now explain how it changes brain chemistry along with body physiology. This is why it is now being used in the field of medicine to support heart patients, pain management, people suffering from anxiety, insomnia, feelings of depression and STRESS to name a few.
I can personally attest that meditation is hands down the most powerful daily habit I have ever incorporated into my life affecting my mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, professional and financial wellbeing.
New York Times best selling author and heralded global pioneer of Mind-Body Wellness Deepak Chopra declares,
“if there is one thing you do to increase your overall health and wellbeing-LEARN & PRACTICE MEDITATION!”
This is the perfect time of the year to settle into the comforts of indoors and to make time to reflect and recharge your battery by taking a workshop before the excitement of Christmas, ski season and the New Year is upon us.

These months also represent 2010 coming to a close along with new beginnings for 2011 emerging. With that timing we naturally often reflect upon how the year has gone so quickly, what did we do, what didn’t we do, what do we want the new year to bring and to create for ourselves? Improved health, peace of mind with finances, greater connections with others, less stress-more fun, life balance, new work opportunities along with many other goals are often top of the list.

But what will make these goals and efforts more successful than in the past? How can we stop the cycle of circling around the same unmet wants & concerns over and over? How can you end 2010 on a high note and set yourself up for an amazing 2011?

Consider you must try something different to have different results. Give yourself permission to try something new.
