If you follow me on twitter or like my facebook page, you would have seen me talking about a run in with a celebrity last week. Whenever Cara and I take photos in high touristy areas, like the Sea Wall at English Bay, we often have people stopping to so kindly ask if we want a photo taken together. It's almost become second nature to quickly (but politely) say no thank you. This past Friday afternoon the person asking if we wanted our photo taken together was Owen Wilson. We didn't realize it until after we said no thank you and by that time we just kind stood there awkwardly and said nothing. I personally just couldn't think of a good way to say "oh you're famous! Sorry I thought you were just a creepy guy hitting on us. Sure, since you're famous you can take our photo". So I stood there like a quiet weirdo.

Luckily, thanks to this experience I will be ready for the day when Leonardo DiCaprio asks if we want our photo taken. Because that will happen.

I almost didn't buy this faux fur vest because I assumed I'd never wear it. Turns out that was the only time in my entire life I have ever been wrong (ha!) because I wear it all the time. I have been alternating between this vest and my blue coat trying to keep warm this winter. If I'm not careful my sister might ban me from wearing them like she did when I was in grade 5 and she banned me from wearing a headband that I had been wearing every day for a year. Since then she has pretty much left me alone and hasn't thrown any more fashion interventions... Which was really too bad when I went through my purple sweatsuit phase of '94 or my huge earring phase of '95 without any argument. Way to drop the ball sis!

Let the Weekend Begin!

Today is the start of my 3 day weekend and I am so happy. I have been really goal oriented lately which is exhausting... lazy Melissa was far less tired at the end of the day. I'm just happy that my schedule is back to normal. I don't know how the holidays can throw me for such a loop but I spent most of January feeling a little lost. The next few days will be busy ones but Sunday will be a day of pure relaxation... I can't wait!
