Sappy makes me Happy

Well, today’s the day. I’m meeting with the lawyer to start the proceedings to have myself appointed as my dad’s Guardian of Property and Personal Care. God that sounds formal. Basically, I’m applying under the Substitute Decisions Act to handle my father’s care and finances. I’m as prepared as I think I can be, that’s not to say I have all the information that I need … but that’s another story.

I’m not really nervous just anxious to know if this is going to be a long and drawn out process or a relatively straightforward one. It’s the not knowing that makes me nervous more than anything.

I’ll let y’all know how it goes.

I didn't make it for a run today. A little sore from yesterday. The funny thing was that I woke up at 6am sharp. I couldn't believe it. Luckily I fell back to sleep and slept until 7:00.

I love Rockstar INXS. I can’t tell you how much I love this show. Almost as much as The Amazing Race but not quite.

Okay, now that you’ve stopped judging me for being a reality television whore, listen – this show is great. Yes it’s people “auditioning” to be the new lead singer for INXS, and that part is cheesy, but their performances are incredible. This show blows Canadian (and American) Idol out of the water because these people know how to perform. They may not all be the best singers but god do they know how to kick the shit out of a song. It’s so entertaining. If you can get past the idea of a bunch of “has been”s looking for a way to jump back on the scene, check it out.

The G-man and I are going to be celebrating our one-year anniversary on the 18th. What a year eh? Our wedding anniversary is also our five-year anniversary for being “back” together. For those of you who don’t know the story, G and I met in 1992 in theatre school. The connection was there between us but the maturity wasn’t. We tried to date for a while but neither of us were patient enough to make it work. After that we came and went with an overnight here and there or a lust-full weekend scattered about but nothing serious. But five years ago when he came to Vancouver for a visit the timing was almost perfect.

This past year he has been my lighthouse in a storm of grief, frustration and madness. I am honoured to be married to him and it is a pleasure to know that I get to spend the rest of my life as his wife. I know it sounds sappy but hey…sappy works. Sappy gets me through the day. Sappy makes me happy.

mmm....sexy!
