Habs game

Tonight we went to see our Montreal Canadiens play the Philadelphia Flyers.


And I also got to take a picture with my big furry friend Youppi :)
He is supposed to be our team mascot but in our hearts he will always be the mascot of our baseball team the Expo's.


We were with a friend of mine and her little boy it was his first game. He actually didnt want to come at first because he wanted to sleep at his grandma's like his sister, but he changed his mind pretty quick.

And we won!!!

Nordic spa

Today I went with friends (and my best friend) to a Nordic spa called Strom.

For those of you that don't know the concept of a Nordic spa here it is:
You expose your self to 15 minutes of intense heat, then dive into a freezing pool and then let your body relax for 15 minutes before starting all over again. It is very good for the blood flow and is very relaxing. Your body actually gets so hot that you barely feel the cold.

Here are a few pictures of my day :)

The very nice ladies looker room.



Dom underneath the freezing water fall.



Two amazing resting areas both with fireplaces, one indoor and one outdoor.




Me beside the hot waterfall.



Happy girls :)




It is open all-year-round even if it is minus 30 degrees outside with 2 feet of snow. Today wasn't bad it was only minus 6 degrees and no snow yet.

If you want to see the website and see all that they offer like massages, body wraps, healthy snack bar, ect... here is it Strom Spa

I had a fabulous day, how was yours?

PS Don't forget my giveaway Red or Green that ends Tuesday night.

First picture

Quick post.

I just wanted to introduce you to my (future) nephew Thomas at 20 weeks :)

Saturday's hot guy #8

Here is one of the local boys from our professional football team: Matthieu Proulx.

He is 28 and lives in Montreal. Even if he is a professional football player, he also manage to get his university completed and is also a lawyer. There is a little something about him that completely charms me.






Ladies I need ideas for next week or should I stop?

Spanish class

My Spanish classes started the first week of September and were supposed to end November 19th. Since we were only 2 students and the teacher each time one could not attend the class it was canceled. So the class has been postpone for one week to another and on. Out of the 10 classes only 3 are left and guess what they have been postpone to January.
I don't know if I will really remember anything, I don't know if it was worth it. Yeah I did learn a few things, but I must admit I am very disappointed.

So during my Christmas vacation I will listen to my Cd's 'Spanish for dummies' and hope that it will sink in a little. I don't think I will take the second level, or at least not at the same school. The teacher is awesome, but when we actually get class.

I would really like to be able to learn all the basics before I go back down south this spring.

Red or Green giveaway

I made a Vlog for you quickly, but wasnt happy with the result so you'll have to enjoy only a picture for know. I promise you'll get you one of me shoveling my car out this winter.

Grey Cup

I am not a football fan at all, but our Montreal team has done way better that our hockey team. They were able to get to that finals and win.

Congrats for your win guys! Cant wait to see the parade.

Therapy

After a long week at work with many hours of overtime, and living lots of emotions lately I offered myself a little (shopping) therapy session tonight.
I spoiled myself and it feels great!

Here are my purchases:

2 T-shirts (a purple and a white)

A pair of jeans

A lingerie kit (like this one but purple)


A comfy pair of shoes

A purple top


I also bought myself a ring that divides in 3 with a big flat ivory stone in the middle which is very pretty and a Christmas gift for Darren.

I feel much better, but I think I'll got back...I still want a pair of earrings.

Monsters

We all have monsters in our lives.

Monsters that we used to believe in when we were kids.
Monsters that make you want to stay in bed.
Monsters we grew up with that still follow us around.
Monsters that come from bad experiences.
Monsters we fear and will always fear.
Monsters we create ourselves and others that people have inserted in our heads.
Monsters that are hilarious and some ridiculous.
Monsters that wake you up at night or that wait by the side of the bed for you to get up.
Monsters that are just plain evil.
Monsters that are changing or will change your life.
Monsters that make you want cry or make you want to scream.
Monsters that you just cant get ride of.


I have so many monsters in my life right now I just don't know if they will ever leave me alone or if I should try to make peace with them.
I know I am an anxious person, but I also know the difference between something that makes me anxious and when it's a monster.

One thing for sure is that monsters are never a good thing to have in your head.

How do you deal with yours?

Where to go?

Christmas is in one month and I am not in the holiday spirit at all.

Lots have been going on in my mind for the week of the 20th of December (I should have the week off). I don't feel like staying here in Montreal.

I've been looking at flights to Edmonton. They are really low right now and I have enough air miles to pay for more that half of the trip for 2.

I've been looking at flights to New York. I never been there and think it would be great to be in the big apple for Christmas and I have enough air miles to pay for the 2 entire flights.

I've been looking at flight to go south (hot warm beaches), but so far even with air miles it doesn't really fit the budget.But maybe I could find last minute deals.

Where to go?
