It Was a Quiet Weekend

I haven’t felt like living online these last few days.

Happens. Always passes.

Saturday night looked like this.

Glued out, filtering photos while replaying and reviewing the week in my head. I think that’s important to do.

On Thursday I attended a Breast Cancer fundraiser for the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation.

They’re a class act who do important research and run a tight ship. I’ve been inside plenty, the bell is the best part of the whole place ;).  Please give.

My BFF was the evenings’ keynote speaker, then she heated up the stage in the fashion show.

I said nothing online during her treatment, but too bad missy, I get this one time – your toughness is impressive, you wore cancer better than anyone, and I’m so happy you’re back love you.

Internet, this is my favourite cancer story: deep into her treatment her insurance company calls, they’re all confused; how was she at work this much, if she’s undergoing chemo, radiation and surgery? HA she’s that tough.

On Sunday, this.

It wasn’t until I pulled into the same industrial park that it hit me. Then I got all reflective and pensive.

That’s not my best profile pic is it, let’s change that. Done.  Here is the new one.

Classic Keri.  KeriCDN.

Recent outfits.

Picked up fresh flowers this afternoon.

I’ve kept fresh flowers around, long as I can remember. They make a place a home, and don’t have to cost a lot.

I like carnations actually, they’re colourful, cheap and last 2 weeks.

And that concludes this blog post.

 

 

Bye Bye Bright Blonde

I’ve been platinum blonde since 2007. Now my hair is breaking off.

Brennen has done my hair for 5 years.  Here’s one of our first videos, from 2008.

It was tough to find someone during my Avoiding Winter 2012 Tour, so when in a large city I’d search out the best L’Oreal salon.  What that proved was there are no Brennens.

Brennen I don’t think it’s working, my scalp isn’t burning.

Isn’t it funny though, I’m sad over a hair colour.  And I’m not even that fashion-y; how many times have you seen me in jeans and a hat? Then I hear my sensible self: no one is shooting at you, Keri, it’s just hair.

But, BUT… it kind of is a big deal! Because I no longer have a backlog of photos of me I can use. Think about that; I just made my job harder, and I had no choice.

All right, whining done, let’s make a photo collage.

I have done this one million times since 2007, and this is a first.

It’ll fade and brighten up quite blonde again, but only with my most disliked expression: it takes time.

I suppose it’s fitting, I kind of am in ‘Round 3’ of living my life online…

  1. – The Canadian Explorer
  2. – KeriBlog
  3. – security and cars and not sure, this round just started

Kay bye now, TTYL, happy Thursday night, best night of the week!

 

 

Hope Your May 24 Was Excellent Too

Kicked off the weekend Friday night with a beer up on high.

Look at the guy in blue behind me, ha.

Now look down.

I love the holidays in town, you have the city all to yourself.

Switched cars again, look for an orange blur around TO this week.

It’s easy to drive, the Focus.  This is the one that parks itself, too.  All. By. Itself.  Watch my video of that here.

I put a few hundred kilometres on Sunday driving to Pelham, Ontario to cheer on my cycling team, who performed great, go team!

I took a break from the internet all weekend.

Can you leave your phone alone, or one further, at home when you go out? If you can’t, that’s not good.

I cleaned a lot this weekend. I do every year around this time.

Look at that smog water; that’s the price of living downtown.

Ahhhh better. I was surprised when the floor turned out to be white.

Like my snow tires ottomans? Driver at Heart.

Spring cleaning done, and this is a very happy me.

I can’t concentrate when things aren’t in order. I’m completely moved in now.

Girls night!

Lots of long city walks.

That’s Yonge and Wellsley.

I saw $3 million in cars go by in as many minutes.

A guy tapped me on the shoulder yesterday, “hi, I’ve been following you for several blocks, you have a really great walk, and I had to tell you”.

Notice anything about my outfits in this post? I’m not wearing all black :O

You must’ve been tired of seeing me always in black, I know I was tired of blogging the photos. But one suitcase for four months means everything must match, which means everything black.

I unpacked all my clothes that had been in storage since last fall.  Colour ahoy.

Have a great week! 

 

Swarovski Makes a Blog Beautiful

Family owned and operated since 1895, I’ve always liked that about them.

They also throw classy affairs.

Where I always run into Casie, hi hi.

They were celebrating their new line, Kingdom of Jewels: Rock Royalty.

I have a finger-ring like that, there’s probably a photo around here somewhere….. yup, click here. Been wearing it since grade 12, ha.

 

 

Failed Footage from Thursday

I’d set out to film the welcome video for my security show, at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

Too much went wrong to use any of the footage.  Hello I’m headless.

So many shots like that. I had to use my Flip Camera (RIP Flip), which doesn’t have a screen to see.

I also came out covered in shadows.

This shot’s audio is full of strangers walking by loudly.

This shot accidentally worked out.

What a waste of good curls.

I did though, take some of the footage used it to learn the new FinalCut Pro, which is a big enough deal I decided to give it it’s own post.

Have a great Sunday and long weekend!
