silly string

one thing's for certain. i CANNOT hold my alcohol. oh dear. i drank two glasses of wine on the train home to kingston and i was so tipsy (possibly more). my eyes were not in sync and i was all dizzy. the worst part is that my dad was picking me up at the station to go to caleb's 2nd birthday party, so i had to sober up FAST.

anyway, i went to toronto to the conference and "rail rodeo". i met up with helen at the osgoode station and she came with me to get checked into the hotel. when we walked into the sheridan it was full of suits and business people. i bumped into one of my co-workers and introduced him to helen. afterwards she told me "you are WAY too hip & funky to be working with these people, i'm having a hard time imagining it". it was funny, but i must admit it does seem pretty odd. i must seem quite foreign in the business world.

from the hotel we went down queen street, then to china town. we went to kensington market where i bought this really awesome shirt that passed my "rachel erb test" for 8 bux. i ended up wearing it today to the exhibition, i feel i was both professional AND boho. anyway, from there we went to this really cool restaurant called "shanghai cowgirl", which was really awesome and the food was most creative.

the exhibition itself was fine, nothing exciting and quite tiring. i was very proud because we had the nicest booth and it was very impressive. we also had the nicest gifts. i decided to take an earlier train home instead of the 6:30 one i was booked for so i could be home in time for caleb's birthday party.

so, like i've mentioned, mr caleb turned two years old today. this pic is a little blurry because joelle shot me (and my camera) with a watergun, but i like it regardless.


yesterday feels like a long time ago. sunday feels surreal.

sometimes blogging is lonely and i wish i had someone real to talk to.

anyone is pretty when she smiles,
me, i'm only pretty when i'm crying.
