Is there a gene for jumping? I should technically know, but if there is one, I definitely inherited mine from an elephant and it’s showing itself in all it’s dominant glory! Left, right, left, jump, spike – is not an easy combination to master. I ether get confused in steps and forget to spike the ball (we’re talking volleyball here), or do hit the ball (poorly) and forget to jump all together! Now I remember why I quit playing when I did – jumping part was way too intimidating… Oh well, one day! I try!

I saw Sunny Fong and he is as adorable in real life as on TV. Last year, I’ve been glued to TV watching the only reality tv show that I do watch, Project Runway – Canada edition. After each episode I went around saying “Sunnyyyyyyyy”!!! Yes, I know, it’s very immature and I never get that excited about celebrities, half-celebrities, or anyone really, but this guy was amazing. I love his designs, his personally, and he is so adorable! Sunny opened this year’s LG Fashion Week with his VAWK spring/summer 2010 collection at AGO, and I was there! Never mind waiting in the line for two hours in the cold, the collection was wonderful.

As per usual, I clicked ‘import’ and ‘back up to hard drive’ only to get the red light, saying “Insufficient space” What? Already? I filled up yet another HD with humangously large RAW photo files. The new 1TB drive was purchased, just to find out that provided FireWire is not the one that my Mac likes! Tsk tsk, why do they have to make everything so complicated! Not cool.

Oh yeah, and cookies make me happy! Danish butter cookies, double mmmm! And beets, especially in salads! Random I know, but that’s what Wednesdays are for!

Long weekend shifted all my plans this week so Wednesday is happening on Thursday. My blog, my rules! Yes, I waited forever to say that!

This week kudos go out to sunshine and autumn colours. Very pretty, cold but pretty. Good for photo shoots too, not so great for my mobility due to protective layers of warm sweaters and jackets.

Volleyball. It was on my ‘to do’ list, and it’s happening now for the next 32 weeks! My arms are bruised, muscles that I didn’t know I have hurt, and I really can’t jump for a spike! I’m loving every minute of it!

Dirty glasses are on the negative list today. They’ve been getting minus points ever since I needed them! Why they never stay clean I have no idea. Maybe it has something to do with glass’s best friends – dirt, finger prints, and water droplets. All the microfiber cloths in the world are not enough to keep them clean!

I love unexpected purchases, especially when they are of gorgeous earrings! How fabulous are these!?!?
