Every oppprtunity to drink a mimosa was seized.
The palace was oddly devoid of people, which made it easy to find pool-chairs and make Ash play fun games like Papparrazi/beach vacation.
I bought a funny greeen hat that made me feel like doing touristy things, such as writing love notes in the sand with my toe.
I formed a special bond with the ladies [...]

Well, this is it. My last blog post as Miss Hargreaves.
Today, Bill, the Facility Manager at work (not to mention, the loveliest Scott you’ll ever meet - perhaps, even, a gift from my Nanny) - brought me a very offical nametag reading “Jennifer Wilson.”
Yes, I am beginning to feel like someone new.
I’ve written and erased about a hundred sentences trying [...]

Like poetry, sometimes places or people ring true in the depths of you. And that is how you know.
It’s how I know one day I must go to Little Sparta’s Garden so my soul can keep growing.
It’s how I know to marry Ash this weekend and claim my glimpse of the sea.
And it’s how friends [...]
And I can post a sickening number of headshots if I want to. And I do. We were looking through old photos last night (sipping on a tidy, piccolo of Henkell) and we found so many pictures of us that we haven’t seen in ages. Do other people like to sit at the kitchen table [...]
I would love to write something not related to the next 5 sleeps.
But I can’t.
I’ve got one thing on my mind.
He’s tying his tie in the hallway mirror.

This morning, the leaf mobile found a friend. I’ll show it to you in a second. First, you should know, I’m listening to this song and drinking Nespresso on the floor in front of the fireplace. Whiskey and I are wondering if the rain will lighten up long enough to go for a walk before [...]
Besides the normal Vancouver-variety showers, my personal forecast has seen a lot of love and good wishes raining down from family and friends lately. Good thing, too, because besides feeling exceptionally excited and positive, my body has been a ruckus of problems. Luckily, I have found three things make me feel almost instantly better: platters of gourmet food set out at bridal events, [...]

1) I am officially done with wedding planning. Now it’s all about wedding unrollling.
2) I work with great ladies (ps: ladies, that’s what we call a blog throw-out)
3) I am making Slime Ricky’s and Cheddar Cobwebs to take to my sister’s house for Halloween.
That’s it for now.

Urgent: Have you seen this girl?
Known to her neighbours as a nice, quiet and unassuming girl who rarely sheds her conservative side, she was kidnapped Friday afternoon from work by a crazy woman and her three friends. Authorities have released the following mugshot:
Beware, these suspects are considered armed and dangerous.
Jennifer was last seen in Whistler, held captive by the suspects [...]
Throwing parties is a lot of pressure. I give you Exhibit A - the Bitchin’ Camero Bash. An event safely locked in my memory’s hall of fame, the concoction of Jaimie, Leanne and I’s temporary ruling of the world. I am glad there was a time in my life I felt indestructible enough to walk [...]
