new radiohead -- in rainbows.

AH!

I'm not sure how to express this...just that I'm so glad I stuck with Thom and the boys through Amnesiac and Kid A (both of which I enjoyed, btw), because now...OH THE GLORY OF 'IN RAINBOWS'!!!!



and downloaded for free!? = even better.

what is pumpkin honey?

I came home from BC with my red rain coat and my plaid lulu hoodie (thanks to Ben for surrendering it), and a new scarf -- ivory with black stars.

On Friday, me, my family, and zoe went to Tadia's Birthday Hootenanny -- dancing and eating good cookies ensued.



On Saturday, Ben and I ventured out to H & M in Coquitlam Center, then we headed to the Binghams' for some awesome times. Then, we captured Mikael and brought her home for dinner. Then, Mikael and I rented some movies, and Zoe came over, so all the kids watched "RIZE" (a movie about cool kids in LA who krump instead of doing drugs).

Phew.

On Sunday, I was late for church, then we all went out for dinner (hello, white spot). Then, the kids went downtown, where I spent $56 at Kiehl's, and bought Lizzy some lulu's with my gift card. Then, the Abby Appy clan joined us for turkey dinner.

Phew.

ON MONDAY, I had breakfast with Katrina B. @ Cafe Deux Soleil on Commercial. Awesome. I had the breakfast Sundae. Next time, I'll remember that they make it with plain yogourt, and get an awesome omlette instead. Then, I went home and me and the family and zoe went to a pumpkin farm. Well, it's more than that, but pumpkins dominate the pictures because it's fall. I bought 3 kinds of honey, and 2 organic artichokes.















Phew.

Then, I flew back to Calgary, where Mariah picked me up @ the airport. Then, we went and got dee from IKEA, and drove home to Lethbridge.

YOWZAAA!



Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll.

The things this woman said about the voice and the body and the whole kinesthetic system absolutely blew me away.

For me, it was using more energy and resistance to create, define and engage each phrase -- such a simple answer to a seemingly impossible question.

For another, it was letting go of active tension to find true opposition and balance -- the voice which flew, spun and danced its way to freedom was breathtaking.

These teachers, Alexander and Reid, must be geniuses. They've discovered methods that work for everyone -- methods of movement and song that call out a response to the body's natural rhthyms.

It's so much easier than we've made it out to be!

The resounding answer must be, "yes! I've found it! I'm home, at last!"

you'd think I was talking about Jesus or something...
