She knows how I feel


(The internet solves your job issues all over the world,
but it doesn’t help you move.)

La Negra Nieves knows exactly what’s going on in my mind today. Trasteo means moving to a new place. I hate doing that, the packing, the stress. And then the lack of time. New projects and places are fun, but I’ll always have trouble with change… That’s my curse. More info later for the curious ones.

After Birthday

I had a wonderful day! My boy took me for Chinese at lunch, we spent the afternoon running errands, went for a little tour of the city and enjoyed our time together. Then, when I came home, I found a message from Peter, and he freaking bought me a Pro account at Flickr! This so rocks… Thank you so much, P! Then my roomie Christophe surprised me with yummy chocolate cake, right before we hit the pub where we met with friends for a good time. Everything was OK until boyfriend decided to sing me Happy Birthday with Tequila shots. Next thing you know, we were all “chirpy” in the streets of Chicoutimi, at 1 a.m. and -20C, heading for greasy spoon diner and throwing snow. Poutine was good, company was amazing and I’m happy. :)

And I’ll be wearing my new perfume today. ;)

Happy B-Day to Me!

If 2 years ago someone would’ve told me that I was going to be this happy today, I wouldn’t have believed it. Somehow my birthday will come with painful memories for a while, but all I can say now is that I finally realized that no matter how difficult life becomes sometimes, there is always a reason to keep going, to keep smiling… To keep loving! :) Today I feel like I’m 2 years old, I feel born again. And my best birthday gift is having someone to love again.
