Day 15 - Something I want to do before I die.

I have always wanted to go see the Unesco World Heritage Site at Machu Picchu in Peru. I think the views in the mountains would be so dramatic, as well and the history and the steppe style of farming.

This is a place I would love to wander around in before I die!

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

Happy Valentine's Day to my Sexy Beast!! Chris is so thoughtful & romantic... I am a such a lucky girl!

Day 13 - My Favourite Band or Artist

Ooooh this is a difficult one for me to chose just one... I am obsessed with art and music! I like Drake's voice and his cleaner songs. His voice is very sultry. I just started exploring Rap, R&B & Hip Hop since 2009. I like the songs that aren't full of anger, rage,sex & swearing... kind of challenging to find them, I know! I really like Timbaland too, he did a great collaborative album with a lot of different artists, including Drake last year. Here is a link to "Say Something": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ9pYU-fa18

I love a variety of art, from the sculpture "Cupid & Psyche" by Antonio Canova to the jewelry art by my friend Terri McNamara; but at the moment I really am feeling Modigliani! This painting is called "Jeanne Hebuterne with Hat and Necklace."

I wonder

when Souls Are Formed.

Day 12 - Something I Love

I love Pure Dark Chocolate with pecans or almonds from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory or Bernard Callebaut,

I LOVE Second Cup skim mochas with whip, and playing Setters of Catan (Xplorers Cities & Knights) online!

Day 11 - Something I hate

Beets are disgusting. I do, however, love steamed beet greens.

Day 10 - Someone I do the craziest things with :)

Tina is an awesome friend to blow off steam with!!! When life gets monotonous & filled with repetitive, tedious chores, I know I can give her a call and we can have an exciting time together. Sometimes this might include hearing live blues music or some dancing, but then there are our EPIC road trips!! We have had many grand adventures, always replete with a soundtrack usually containing a few singable Bon Jovi songs!! One time we went hiking to waterfalls in Nordegg... we camped at the David Thompson Resort and enjoyed a hot tub with startling mountain views.

We went Whitewater rafting the Kickinghorse Pass from Ragged Ass Road to Golden BC together; I think that was actually the last time I went camping. I remember inflating the air mattress and then it wouldn't fit inside the door of our little tent :) Then we we decided to go enjoy the Beaverfoot Mountain Lodge Sauna... complete with a glacier water cold pool to cool off in... and a few uninvited guests.

Then there was the road trip of 2009 when we kayaked from Invermere-on-the-Lake through the Columbia River Wetlands to Radium BC. Breathtaking! White Swan Provincial Park was also amazing... it was my first time going in natural hot springs, so pristine to be among the rocks and not at an artificial pool! They were at the end of a terrifying single lane gravel mountain road with cliff face on one side and deep canyon on the other. Whatever types of active, grand adventures we attempt, we often top off the trip with a luxurious, cozy hotel room and fabulous food and wine. Tina is a friend that I can be crazy with, but she is also a sister in Christ, whom I know I can always trust! I can't wait for our next fascinating experience!

Day 9 - Someone Who Got Me Through The Most

That person is my Saviour!!! I firmly believe that He has commanded legions of angels to protect me! I have been in some awful, unfortunate situations, yet no harm has come to me.
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

SO SUDDENLY I was craving a classy metropolitan lunch... Joey's on Jasper Avenue for Ginger Beef... and then immediately realized I had no babysitter, and no date. So I made it myself. ON a nest of chow mein noodles, just like the restaurant. I would divulge the recipe, but I am actually intending to write a cookbook one day, so no can do!!

I need to help Bianca make some girlfriends, so she can enjoy being a little girl. She is surrounded by Super Heroes, capes, and little boys making sound effects constantly... poor thing.
