This weekend was everything a weekend should be. Relaxing, productive, filled with an abundance of family and friends, and time spent at the rink and outdoors. It was so lovely to get outside and enjoy the spring-like weather and it was finally nice enough to match my shoes to the sky. There is something so invigorating about spring time, with everything coming back to life after making it through an especially tough winter. The entire week is forecasted to be beautiful, and I plan on spending as much of it as possible outdoors.

I love the weeks when Friday has a fabulous feeling to it. When there’s just enough activities scheduled throughout the weekend to look forward to, but also enough down time sprinkled in that last minute plans are an option. The weather is warming up enough to get outside for a run, hockey playoffs are going down, and there’s finally time to catch up on all of my pre-recorded Dateline episodes. I’m thinking my weekend is looking pretty promising.

I feel as though I’ve been looking at this whole Polar Vortex situation in the wrong way. Sure, instead of celebrating the oncoming of spring we’re still deep in the midst of winter. Instead of slowly transitioning my winter wardrobe to the back of the closet, I fear I may never have to pull my shorts and sandals to the front. There are, however, benefits to this frosty situation. Such as an extended season of wearing the warmest and chicest of my winter clothing. Shearling coats in March, it’s not unheard of people. By August I’m usually pining for my fall wardrobe, so perhaps this year, I won’t miss it at all.

It’s about this time of year that I miss the West Coast the most. Even though it’s been over three years since I ventured to Calgary, I miss that the cherry blossoms in front of our old house are starting to bloom now. The grass is a vibrant green at the park that was down the street from us, and the rain was starting to let up. Here in Calgary we’re still in the midst of winter, and the thought of blooming flowers and green grass is months away. Thank goodness I have a rendezvous to California planned, or I’d have to seriously start considering a relocation back to Vancouver.
The ballots were cast, the winners announced, and celebrations were had by all. My annual Oscar viewing party brought out a fabulous collection of ladies, as well as a couple of handsome men that were on hand to help out. There were glittered up champagne take homes, prizes for best dressed, speeches to rival Cate and Matthew, and an abundance of delicious eats (unlike the stars we like to indulge, heavily, in both beverages and snacks). I set up a martini bar that featured various versions of the Cosmopolitan, and we followed along throughout the evening with our trusty nomination forms. I ditched the party dress in favour of a blue suit and bow tie, I figured if Ellen could do it, so could I. I’m already anticipating next year’s big bash.
