Pre-Trip Ramblings: December 27, 2006

I didn’t really have to go to work today, but I decided to go in for a little bit just to get some stuff done that I couldn’t do at home. It’s funny, but I do like going into work especially when I don’t have to…isn’t that weird? I find that I am more productive because it’s on my own schedule. I think work should be like that; on your own schedule. Of course it’ll depend on the person since everyone works differently. For me, it shouldn’t matter what hours you work as long as everything that needed to be done is done and done on time.
After work, I walked through Pacific Centre to run an errand and I ended up at my favourite store in the whole world: Guess. I know it’s not the most fancy or nicest stuff, but I tend to find some great deals and buys there and today was one of those days. I found a whole bunch of clothes that looked cool and interesting. But I am being very good. I am only buying clothes that a) will be good for my trip, b) on sale and a good deal, c) cool and different, d) all of the above. So for today’s venture into Guess, I ended up with 3 different tops, totally under $100 including taxes. I am trying to be good…

So I made my way to yet another errand, this time for New Year’s Eve tickets. Long story short, they didn’t have the actual tickets so I’ll have meet again for them, but in the meantime, I have to get everyone’s names to put on the guest list as a plan B. Story to be continued…

I spent the rest of my night watching Season 6 of Sex and the City and I have to say, I am addicted. This show is fantastic and my friends were right; why have I not watched this show when it was on TV? My excuse was that it was on HBO and on Friday nights and my family didn’t have HBO and I usually worked on Friday nights. No big deal. I now have the entire series and this is actually better this way because I can watch episode after episode and just purely indulge myself.

Seriously, this show asked a lot of the same questions I’ve been asking myself this year and I’m sure they’re the same questions that other women asked as well. So far my favourite episode is called ‘A Woman’s Right to Shoes’ – the one where Carrie’s shoes got stolen at a baby shower and the question came up as to why one lifestyle (marriage & kids) are looked upon as better than another lifestyle (single & fabulous). I totally agree there. Married people do seem to get a lot of peaks, don’t they? You get engaged, you get gifts; you get married, you get gifts; you have kids, you get gifts. What do you get for being single? I would love to do what Carrie did and get engaged to myself and register to get gifts and have a big party to celebrate my love for me. 🙂


Sex and the City may seem pretty fluffy and trivial, but it manages to combine humour with philosophical questions and that is how I would like to live life. I wonder if I can download the entire series onto my iPod so that I can watch it on my trip and use it to help me answer some of my questions……
