This weekend I have a lot going on and I think I may need a few red bulls to get through it.
Tomorrow morning I got an amazing gig. Its for a magazine shoot with an actor and its the first time my work is being published in a mag so I'm excited :)
Here we are on her trip here last year
Tomorrow night me and Mich have dinner/catch up on our lives plans. We need to take it easy because Friday bright and early we are driving to Niagara Falls & Buffalo for some cross border shopping.We will probably arrive home really late as we want to make the most of it.
Saturday we will probably head down to harbourfront for a stroll by the water, then its party time as we head downtown to party it up with all our friends.
Sunday I have a gig doing a brides bridal shower makeup but I'm also invited so I shall be there all afternoon.
Monday I head back to work and then after work I have to take Mich to the airport as she leaves me :(
Bring on the red bulls!!!
Oh and get this.... Mr.BF was at my place yesterday before I got home and cleaned practically the entire place so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home from work because he knew Mich was coming.... WOW! Could I be any luckier??? Yes ladies he even cleaned the bathrooms!
Stay Pretty ;)
So yeah... this is what my weekend pretty much looked like..... Random shots from my work window... look at these poor guys car!
I mean it was super pretty but only once I was home safe and sound with no where to go! Work had to shut down at 2pm Friday because it was getting so bad out that it was dangerous to drive...
I got stuck in the parking lot trying to leave, my poor little Altima coupe.. great to look at BAD for snow driving! Instead of coming to help me there were about 4 guys who just stood there inside watching me put it in reverse and drive over and over.. argh I mean I managed to get out thanks to my super duper snow driving skills but I was annoyed and realized I should probably invest in snow tires when I return from the Caribbean.
There is another storm coming Tuesday. Oh man I cant wait to get outta here!
7 Sleeps till Im sailing the sea to some random beach!!
Oh and a big shout out to my Jewish friends Happy Hanukkah Yay save me some latkes ;)

*************************************************************************
Walking back home from work a few weeks ago, I catch a glimpse from the corner of my eye of two girls, most likely in their late teens, early twenties, walking in the opposite direction. One of the girls glances over at me and quickly runs my way stopping a little under a foot away from me and begins her "sales" pitch -
"Hi! My name is -"
Before she could continue I cut her off after I see her black name tag with LDS (Mormon Church) written on it.
"I'm not interested," I replied as I kept walking, my pace speeding up.
"Oh, well can I give you my card - " she persisted as she trotted next to me.
"NO. Not interested!"
And with that she gave up and returned to her friend. I didn't look back.
Guilt slowly made its way through me, crept onto my shoulders and sat there tapping away. I was terse and sharp with the girl who really meant no harm. My gut reaction had been to shove her aside as forcefully as possible and I succeeded. Had I taken a deep breath, I could have added a "no, thank you" followed by a smile.
But I've always had a deep sense of dislike for missionaries from any religion. Even my own. What I hate - yes, hate, not dislike - are those who insist on bleeding their beliefs onto others and even injecting it into politics, culture, and social issues. Faith to me is personal and shouldn't be advertised, so to speak, but respected.
I grew up in a place where my religion was prohibited from being practiced. My family even had to abide by some of the religious laws/beliefs of another religion. And I abhorred it. To force my religious beliefs onto others is inconceivable to me. Perhaps because I experienced it first hand, I could never think of doing it to others.
And here I am in 2008. Living in a so called liberal country. Yet all around me I witness a variety of instances where different religious beliefs are infused into politics, a place religion should ideally never be found, but in reality minimized as much as possible. Yes, there should be freedom of speech. If a person wants to stand on a box on the corner of Main Street preaching to the masses about Jesus, Mohammad, or Buddha, then of course so be it. But when a person or group of people persist on impregnating policies with their religious beliefs...well that's where the line needs to be drawn.
The Mormon girl who came up to me to discuss her religious beliefs with me was practicing freedom of speech and I should have realized that on the spot. Instead of being acrid, I could have turned her down politely. It's my freedom to do so.
When those in power, however, want to take away the right a woman has to do whatever she wants with her body or to exclusively define marriage as between man and woman solely based on their religious belief, that's when I get heated and angered.
If you don't already, learn to respect others' beliefs, no matter what they may be. And if you're having a hard time doing so, try role reversal. Imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes, forced to act as they have dictated based on their dogma. Trust me, it's not fun on any level.
