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 [...]
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.

…Champagne Wednesday as fiance and fiance , we plan to spend alone.
I suggest you go to the Libra Room and listen to live Jazz over a Roasted Beet Salad with Boursin ($7) and a bottle of Il Mionetto ($18!).
As Ash tells me people in the smoky underground Chicago Jazz clubs say:
That’s it Charlie. You got it Charlie.

The view from Seymour Mountain in Vancouver. This was in July. Within 30 minutes of leaving the snowy parking lot, we were laying on the beach in Deep Cove. I woke up with this day on my mind. I am so glad we took pictures.

The other night we came home to a courtyard full of glowing pumpkins.
This one was my favourite.
The only problem (as you can see) was I couldn’t quite figure out the flash on my camera.
I think after we get back from Mexico, I will take a photography course. Any suggestions?
Until then,
I remain

As Ash packed for his business trip, I used the tooth floss in his bathroom bag to make a leaf mobile for our back door. All in all, I’m fairly pleased with it. Mobiles are whimsical. The leaf selection in our neighbourhood is good. And after tying all those leaves to the floss, [...]

My mom’s Thanksgiving table, lit by the backyard sun.
Flowers from my Grandpa.
Brunch at the Irish Heather. My new, old favourite Gastown haunt.
Stools leading to the Shebeen Whiskey House.
A study of light and absence.
Abundance.

Having always wanted to be a gypsy myself, I gave one to my fiance for his 30th birthday.
Given that all Greek restaurants have the same exact menu, it’s hard to imagine that one place could be so above the others in terms of food quality. But if you’re a Vancouver-based reader, please believe me, Pasparos [...]
Yesterday, I went to get my eyebrows shaped and the lady burned me with boiling, hot wax. Now I have a scab above my right eye, a very tender eyelid and an outstanding appointment for waxing of a different “venue,” so to speak. Believe me, I am canceling that appointment today. The sad thing is, [...]
Posted in Champagne Wednesdays, Shopping on Sep 17th, 2008
Today, my mom and I go pick up my dress. I have to admit- in all my one-day of dress shopping - I was absoltuley taken by this little store on West Broadway called Frocks. Sure, it might have only had six dresses to choose from (great for me), but they were well-chosen, not fussy and you got to lounge about deciding which one [...]
