Vamp at work

I realized that I forgot to do a Halloween post - whoops. As Halloween fell on a Saturday this year, a few of us at work dressed up the day before. I was an everyday vampire, having a typical day at the office ...

I was of course wearing my special ring - you know, the one that gives me the power to be out in the daylight. :P

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! :)
