Me..

Being that I am stuck in this place all winter with no entertainment I decided I was tired of winter back in January and decided to enroll myself in tanning sessions....... I never knew I could enjoy laying and relaxing for 20 minutes in a tight space.... wow. Do I love tanning? You bet. Every summer since I have been down here where I am now I lay out in the sun and bake for hours...ahhh one of my most favorite past times.. ya i know its not good for you but hey, it does the world of good for my self esteem so why not. I love the look of a tan and it makes me feel good about myself so what the heck. I have found it has really helped me with the mid winter blues this year. Since dad passed away I have found it very difficult especially around Christmas and I have found myself getting very down around that time. I guess the vitamin D from tanning has really helped alot. Not to mention I am starting to get nice and dark. So by the time summer comes I will already be well on my way to a great tan!! 

 So being that I can't afford to fly south for a vacation these are my mini vacations to myself... even though its hard to imagine the sound of waves on a beach and its just a bit difficult to take a pina collada in with me while I tan. So now I have to keep my eye open for that perfect bikini for the summer. Then I will have to try and find the time to actually wear it now that I am working full time. The best part is there is a fabulous beach not far from me on Long Point!! Wheww wheww thats why they call it Ontario's South Coast! (Life outside the box!!)

It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.  ~Lucille Ball

One of the days I was wandering around the net just killing another day I came across a blog by a lady by the name of Kandee. Well she is a very inspirational person let me tell you. Have a peek

I took some new pictures of Red the other day. I did not get a chance to get them uploaded. Red has matured into such a beautiful boy, both in personality and looks. I think he was named appropriately. Aberdale Infatuation. Infatuation: A foolish, unreasoning, or extravagant passion or attraction.

Here is my passion...... my Red Man....

Squeek's first indoor match...

Well I took Squeek to her first indoor ever show on the weekend. It was only a fun match but I wanted her to experience what it was like on mats and inside rings and with noise going on. For her very first time ever being in an indoor show situation (she was only ever at one show which was outdoors as a barely 6 month old puppy) she did mighty fine. She not only won BOB (Best Of Breed) but she went on to Herding Group 1st and was considered in Best In Match. I was really really pleased at how well she did for me. She showed like a pro, moved like she had been doing it all her life and I was so proud of her. Shades of great gramma Katie came through. I think I will have lots of fun showing her when she does get out. I so love this little gal.....Pictures and a video from the match are on Rick's camera so when he lets me borrow the card I will upload them.
