Jann Arden

So my friends Graham and Maury are on tour across the country with Jann Arden and today they landed in Victoria. Yay. Unfortunatly they are playing at the new Save On Foods arena... boo hiss. What a terrible venue. Oh well. If it's good enough for Cher. It's good enough for Jann.

I've known these guys since highschool and I love them to death. I only have a small handlful of people in my life who I consider close friends and these are two of them.

We went to Rebar for lunch and Maury had too much coffee.

Then we walked around downtown Victoria and hung out. It was a fun lazy day(my favourite kind). Sadly I don't get to see them play tonight... cause tickets are TOO rich for this penny pinching girl and the guys only get 10 comp tickets for the entire tour that they can give out. What's up with that Jann? Give the boys some more tickets... yeesh.

Only a week until I leave for my trip. Yikes. I better get packin.

Happy Birthday Eli

Everyone sing happy birthday....

Thank you Seattle

What a fun time I had. Thanks for all the love Seattle!! I love you right back.

A big thank you to Ailee and everyone at The Madison Market for always making me feel right at home. I really appreciate all the love and support.

I had so much fun hanging out with new friends.

And hanging out with the Madison Market gang. They sure have a fantastic store... I hope they know how special the market is. It's like no other place I've ever been. Really lovely people. And yes... that's my new shirt that I purchased from Black Chandelier. I love pink!

And look at this baby. Look at her. I love her.... I want her hoodie.

That's it for me for a little while. I'm off to do laundry....Again...and get ready for my trek out East.

And lastly... if you do see me out and about. Please come by and say hi. I had so many people at the book siging say "they saw me here" and "they saw me there" but they were shy to say hi or they didn't want to bother me. Please. Bother me. I want to meet you!!

See you soon.
xoxo

ghost

Ok
Talked to the owner... there was someone/thing in my room last night. He had died in here years ago. No wonder I couldn't sleep... poor guy. I bet he was lonely.

Wheat belly

Greg and Cynthia took me to Pizza Pi last night where I finally got to eat the pizza that everyone has been raving to me about and now I know why. Holy crow. What amazing food.

Bread Sticks... Yum
Calzone. Yum.
Spinach and Soysauge pizza.... yum. yum. yum.

I had a terrible sleep last night... I kept hearing the people in the other room, walking around and the floor boards squeek in this 100 year old house and it sounded like they were in my room. Or... maybe someone was in my room. Maybe it was a ghost. Either way... I'm tired and have bags the size of grocery bags under my eyes... *laugh*

I'm off to the Madison Market to do my book signing and then home. I can't wait to get home. I miss my Fergus very much today. I need a doggie snuggle.

I Gotz Shin Splits Ya'll

Ahhh Seattle. Damn you and your hills... my shins are killing me. I am using muscles I didn't even know I had. Had a GREAT nights sleep. Don't know why... but I slept like a log, despite someone in the other room snoring like a bear, maybe it lulled me to sleep.

Woke Gerry up this morning (That never happens...he's usually up first) and we got ready for our day. We headed back down to The Globe for Biscuits N Gravy.

You know The Globe has good food when breakfast is free at the B&B and we said no free scrambled tofu. Free food... we said no. No. NO! We must go to The Globe. My biscuits had grilled tofu... Gerry went for the straight up biscuits and gravy. We ate there at 10:30 and it's now 2:45 and I'm still full. Yum. Then we hit The Madison Market again and loaded Gerry up with Faux Turkey sandwiches and Mighty O Donuts so he could make the trek back to Canada without me. The Madison has posters up.... it's weird seeing myself all over the store. *laugh*Then I said a sad good by to Gerry. It's so weird staying here and watching him drive away.... I'm was so sad to say good-bye. It's not like I'll be gone long, I'm flying home tomorrow. *laugh*

So I walked up and down Pike St and Pine St and did some shopping. Went to Value Village and a few other 2nd hand stores and then I found The Black Chandelier and bought a cute litte top that I might wear tomorrow (stay tuned for photos). The store was so damn cute, I just had to take a photo.

I also found Bluebottle Art Gallery and spent over and hour looking at everything and finally bought some great art to hang in the Tattoo Shop. They were very helpful when both my credit card and my debit cards wouldn't work. WTF America? Don't you want me to spend my money here?? They let me pay via Paypal... so yay. Now I get to bring some art home. I'll post photos of it when I get back. I want it to be a surprise for Gerry. Shhhhhhh.

I also popped into Super Genius Tattoo Shop to say hello to Jerad who I had met a few nights before. Nice fella. Nice shop.

So I'm going ot tak e a little nap now. I'm meeting Greg and Cynthia for dinner later tonight. I wonder where we'll go...
