c-c-c-cold!

I have a cold and IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. I have gone and found every thick wool sweater to wrap myself in.

I usually do not mind the winter - but this year it has been punishing. I am now heading out for a work meeting and I am doing everything to delay the inevitable - having the slicing wind assault me as soon as I open my front door.

People of the world - SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!

Sunday night was just simply rockin. I had the best time with B at the Spice Girls concert. It was worth every penny to sing and dance to songs of my youth!

We looked forward to it every day since I hit the purchase button on ticket master! I just love the costumes and the dancing. The Spice girls looked like they had so much fun. I completely respect the amount of energy these women had and the motivation to put on a really great show for montreal!

A very special shout out to the Spice Boys at the concert! These fabulously gay men in the two rows ahead of us were having the time of their lives dancing and singing along. "It's raining men!" afterall :) They were friends with these other two guys who were wearing matching Spice Boys tank tops! They inspired me to thoroughly enjoy the music and never give up on the good times!

A Wrinkle in Time.

well actually...on my face! I saw a real wrinkle or "laugh line" last week and I have been obsessed with it. I briefly considered a bunch of crazy treatments like dermabrasion but decided that what I really needed was a day-off for myself.

Since Christmas, I have been running around super busy. Some friends suggest that my exhaustion could be related to the fact that I am not young anymore but I remind them that at 21 I did not hop on planes or drive hundreds of miles for work emergencies, then rush home to sift through thousands of emails, go out for dinner with work a few nights of the week and then work on presentations which could decide my whole career until the wee hours of the morning!

Bref - I have been stressed and it is showing on my face!

Today I have a morning of nothing planned with an afternoon of spa treatments to follow (not dermabrasion!) I would like to say that it is marvelous having time-off...but honestly, after 40 minutes awake, I already attacked the accumulation of dishes and I do not know what to do with myself anymore. I am tempted to get on my lap top to work some more!

It reminds me that I have a long way to go before I can rest in the Lord. A few weeks ago, I heard a great sermon that I struggle to put into action. The first step is to recognize that I need to rest not only physically but mentally so that I can hear what God has to say to me in my life. I am working on it...

By the way - I am totally addicted to Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle. They are NO WAY replacements for the original SATC but it is interesting to see what hollywood has to say about women who are ultra successful.
