dani's birthday!

it was my friend danielle's birthday last night. we went to a yummy restaurant in kensington market, and then to sam roberts. wendy was there, but missed the pic.

taxes

gotta love being self-employed. for a week i have been sorting out every receipt i've spent in the last year into categories and little envelopes. i sent them to my accountant yesterday, and this morning i received it all summarized into 10 little pages for the government with a lovely bill. i wish i'd saved money all year like a responsible human. ah well. i've been doing this for 6 years, you'd think i'd know better by now. 2006 is my year.

my mornings

this is how i get ready in the morning, with my two little girls following every move. i love it.

teaching and eagles

i was in Sudbury, Ontario over the weekend to lead a management workshop. i knew this was something that i wouldn't enjoy, as speaking in front of groups of people is not anything i've ever found enjoyable, however, i'm trying to follow my dad's advice of stretching oneself in the spring.

the people were great, said they had a good time, but i was totally stressed out! i do however, think their initiative of bringing folks in the arts up to northern towns a great idea. people shouldn't always have to come to toronto. with the internet and the telephone you should be able to work looking at one of those beautiful lakes.

if you're not at a lake and want something awesome to look at, check this out:
