June 4, 2012



Jamie

I love going to the movies on Saturday morning. This week, Shannon, Justin and I got out to see Snow White and the Huntsman. I really liked it, particularly the art direction - beautiful!



Shannon

Weekend watching was f-u-l-l. Bondathon continued with You Only Live Twice (had coolness, but was meh'd me out on the sexism), Alien Resurrection which was PAINful, but good thing that I absolutely adored John Carter and then was completely absorbed by Ultimate Fighter Season 14 which is, well, a lot to get through in 1 weekend! What I will do to review things, kinda nutty.

Suzie

Took Reg downtown to some of his favourite hangouts including the second-hand music shop Taz. Got some great deals and nothing cheers Reg up more than shopping therapy, especially when we get music for awesome prices.

Rewind: June 3, 2012



Jamie

This pic is from a Full Moon Dreamboard session in 2009! I can't believe it was that long ago. We created our dreams together under the Full Harvest Moon!

I have been looking for this photograph EVERYWHERE! And I finally found it this morning. I adore it. Do we ever know how to have fun!

Jamie

Friday night hang out at my place! Jinx giving some cuddles and Shannon and I discovering (wow) Canada Sings. I'm still reeling with the power of the number by the air force!



Shannon

Ultimate Fighter Challenge Finale!!!! Yep. I watched it. I watched each and every episode this season. I did. And I enjoyed it all. Not as much as the GSP vs Koscheck season, but it was still very entertaining and had lots of great fighting.

Jamie

Yesterday I spent the day having a rev-o-rama with my dear friend Fabeku. The goal is to really connect you to your super power and then use that as a guiding light. It includes two Sonic Vroom sessions by Fabeku, where he goes deep with his drums and then comes back with powerful metaphors to guide your way. Mine included luxurious red theatre curtains, two small owls, a chorus of female ancestors, a golden bird suit and a magnetic engine. Wow! I feel really tuned into the energy I bring to the world and have some strong ideas for how to channel that powerfully. What a day!




Shannon

I've noticed recently that I have zero recent pics of me so although this is uber-traditional Shannon shot, at least it's a new one or me in my hood.



Suzie

As you both know I picked up the same edition of the cookbook Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book Mom had in her kitchen when we were growing up. Totally a treasure, turned my day from crap all the way around. I was amazed how many people on FB said that this was one of their favourite cookbooks. I called Mom too and she was thrilled her favourite fried chicken was in there because it was taken out of the later edition that she has. I've been so homesick lately, this was like a hug to get me through until I'm finally back with family for a visit!

I love co-working with Tanya Geisler. We have a wonderful time, working hard and bouncing thoughts and ideas off one another. Another treat is visiting with her cats! Yesterday all three came and had cuddles. It was such a treat! Aren't they beauties?



Shannon

I was oddly lacking in photos yesterday but I did have this one, of advertising...on a banana. I love film, but this is going to far!


Suzie

This is like the only photo I took yesterday. I finally found these condiments in the meat section of my store but they did not have the caramelized onion relish, the one I wanted to do a review! I probably should not have gone out yesterday. It was so cold and damp and I have been coughing a lot every since.

Another view of the completed fence - yay! I haven't had a chance to do anything in the garden yet but look forward to getting to it soon. Next big step will be removing those patio stones and getting something prettier to lead the way.



Shannon

You know you've been out a long time that the journey back is technically the next freaking day! Alas, had a fun time at the movies and a great time at film blogger pub night - which is probably what I should have a pic up but I was too wrapped up in having awesome film discussions from blind spots to festival chats to crazy arguments and all around fun times.



Suzie

Where I live is insane. People think they live in quiet communities where everything is great but there is scary crap happening everywhere. I feel like I am the only one who sees it which freaks me out. Maybe they don't read the newspaper. All I know is the cops were at a problem house in bullet-shooting range of our house for hours again last night. If I have to deal with this crap, I would rather be in Vancouver.

This is me leaning against the red rock after a hike to visit Kachina Woman and one of the vortexes of Sedona. A vortex is an energy centre that is thought to have healing and spiritual properties. People come from all over the world to experience them. This one is said to balance male and female energy. When we arrived, a man was sitting at the very top of the rock formation, playing the flute and sending reiki to the world. It was a gorgeous hike, the view was amazing and there was no doubt a sense of great calm and ease.
 


Shannon

It was a bloody hot day but I didn't let that get me off of my to do list as I vlogged and vlogged, including finding out that there is at least one Bond film I love with Thunderball


President's Choice S'mores Cream Pie

Suzie

Reg and I spent yesterday getting groceries for his mom and then having some tea and a sweet treat.
