Operation Beautiful

I basically think this is one of the best things ever. I like when intangible mediums reach people in an appreciable, positive way. The basic idea is for women to post positive affirmations in random places in the world for other women to see, and basically to make us smile. In a world where we're basically taught as women to criticize ourselves internally as well as every woman who crosses our path, it's nice to have a visual cue that, hey, that's wrong.

Good idea, interweb, good idea.

Return to Wild Cat

I went back to that Wild Cat place in Oshawa that Mike and I went to in the winter. It was a little better because we weren't trudging through snow drifts, but this time the big cats were less active in the heat.
One awesome thing was that the goats and alpacas were roaming around. This adorable little guy was best friends with the alpaca! A lot of restraint was used not to steal this guy away.


This deer was the friendliest and least skittish I've ever seen. He licked my face! My face! I could have easily just turned my face and ate him! Luckily for him I don't eat deer.

More Kincardine Time

I went to Kincardine this week for 3 days. It had been a really long time since Blake and I had been back there together and it was awesome! Busy, but awesome. Lots of tennis was played, a little mini-golf, and I got to visit with most of my family on that side.

One of the main reasons I went was for the fire works. Due to the strike in Toronto they were canceled here. Nothing says Canada day like a sky full of smelly garbage fumes. In Kincardine, they started while I was playing tennis by the beach, and we stopped to watch from what was the best view in town. I was so happy!

Today I went and jumped through some visa hoops and in about 5 minutes we're leaving for North Bay where we're visiting with some of Mike's family. Here's hoping the rain holds off!
