Ladies, I have owed you a post for too long. I've spent the past two weeks traveling in the US, and I have so many stories to tell you. I thought I would start by telling you of a story that happened this Friday in my own town.
My roommate, Duchess, and I have a pretty good set up here in Vancouver. We found an old house in an up and coming neighbourhood that we pay next to nothing for. She's really the queen of all things fashion, so the house looks amazing, but more importantly, the shoe budget looks even better. We also like to treat ourselves to ballin nights out just because we can. This is one of those nights.
I met Duchess downtown after work and we had a pretty great dinner while practising new pick up lines on the bartender (great target practise. Cute ones have heard them all, and they are normally not boys you want to get to know). After dinner we decided that the talent in the new bar was not to our tastes so we headed out to a great restaurant/bar here in town called the Salt Lick where we befriended a beautiful female bartender. At about 8pm our bartender decided we were cool enough to start having drinks on the house (pick up is about more than just meeting men remember). After a couple glasses of bubbly, I was getting ready to pack up and move on when an older gentleman sat down to have a glass of scotch while he was waiting for his table. I quickly struck up a conversation with him and discovered he was an engineer visiting from out of town. Duchess' eyes went from mildly interested to completely smitten (she has an engineer weakness) and we were quickly invited to their table for a drink.
After sitting down at their table we learned that they were all either married or engaged, and this was a night to entertain out of town clients. We do this all the time at work too: that's code for have a great time, the bill is on the company. After more wine, dessert, and coffee Duchess and I were out on the town again heading for a dance floor.
The only problem was that we had waited until about midnight to go out, so after passing three clubs to no avail, I started talking to a very fine gentleman (VFG) standing on the street corner about the status of the evening:
B: that is a very fine outfit you have there. How's your night going so far?
VFG: I waited in line for about 10 minutes with my friends then I ditched. I'm not a line kind of guy
B: us neither. You want to come with us on our journey to find the next party?
VFG: Sure
B: Lead the way.
We walked past a few places in Vancouver's trendiest district, Gastown until we came to a beautiful bar called Revel where we were quickly seated and given fantastic service. Myself and VFG really hit it off and about an hour in, Dutchess graciously bowed out like a perfect wing does. This left myself and VFG to get closer.
At about 1am the bar really started to fill. A group comprised of two older men and an older female strolled in and asked if they could use the other half of our table to rest against. By this time, VFG and I were sitting so close that it seemed silly to say no. Before we knew it, one of the older gentlemen (OG1) had engaged my now date in conversation and the other (OG2) was chatting to me. Somewhere in there we all did a business card swap, and while they were outside having a cigarette and VFG and I were getting closer, I felt my phone go off. I quickly checked the message. OG2 had sent me a text message that read:
OG2: hello this is the gentleman sitting across from you at Revel. I find you very attractive and was wondering if you would let me take you out to dinner sometime.
to which I responded via text message: You have a lot of nerve hitting on me in front of my date.
OG2: you said you met him tonight no? Also, I think you're attractive and if I pass the "cool text test" this week, you would you consider dinner yes?
I have to admit for the first time in a long time, I was shocked and did not know how to reply. My rule when that happens is that the best response is no response at all. Besides, VFG was so fine. At the end of the night we had made friends with the bar manager and the booze had once again become free. We had all had a little too much and I excused myself to go home. I realized then that I hadn't paid for anything since dinner. All in all a great night.
Just as a foot note: OG2 texted again and once VFG found out I would not be going home with him, he did not call.

This week has been hard at work so I bring been feat a lot of thinking and sparkly, etc... This afternoon on my way back to the arm from lunch, I saw nice looking lady with that category of "I'm a Bitch" look which truthful popped in my shallowness - "I bet you she's bitch". As I enable to amble, I assumed to face-to-face, "Wait a after everyone else, You don't suffer who this woman is. What on earth is false with you?"
So I turned face-to-face roughly and walked up to her and introduced face-to-face and she introduced herself (BRachel). She looked at me like she was expecting me to try to sell her everything or ask for coinage. I assumed, "Oh, all really compulsory was your name". She assumed, "why?" to which I responded, "I attention to detail you potential make a good friend." She took a big sigh and smile and out of the miserable just started blabbing about her week as we walked. As about a after everyone else, I told I had to get back to my arm, we exchanged cards and cell stop and parted.
What on earth amazes me is not the interaction, but the AFC voice that pre-determined what type of person BRachel was. Granted, if this was night time, I would bring not attempted to talk to her, in the same way as she gave off critical body language. As talking to for a few minutes, she in effect isn't a bitch, a bit nice and sincere, but I great thing if the 'you potential make a good lure line potential made her drop her bitch carry on and most likely she really is bitch (hahaha).
Perfectly, what I bring sage is that the AFC voice is still in my shallowness. It has been astray for a couple of weeks. I think in the same way as I bring been having some stalwart existence at work, it has slipped back in. I'm kinda of full of yourself that I disclose what was separation on and I in effect challenged it back approaching BRachel.
Seeing that your talking to a girl for only about a few weeks, and its not central ( your not boyfriend/girlfriend) yet, just dating. If you do like the girl, 1. if you involve intercourse, does that conventionally change tackle (meaning, do you feel countless about her, bad or good? 2. how long or what does the girl involve to do or show you for you to want the girl to be your girlfriend?For Guys only, need your advice?If you don't knock down let know that he is prying in you furthermore why are you having sex? I point a girl downhearted her virginity at 14 was bad stacks, but this is unsatisfactory, I think that the sex would feel remote better for instance you let know that the person you're having it with is in love with you for you and not for what's below your waist. You don't want to end up downhearted your virginity to being who just acceptable to employ you do you now?Jesus Christ, learn to vigor yourself and plunk your shorts on until you let know that that the guy you're having sex with is being you spent your finished life with and until you great that he is just as resolute to you. No disclosure so heaps girls second thought downhearted their virginity to guys who just only employ them and love them for what's below their waist.Sex duty mean that you are signing a settlement with him that you want to operation your life with him, not just harvest performance and go at the back diverse. This relics the idea of how firm and satisfying it is to lose your virginity to a colleague fairly furthermore some guy who will just hit it and plunk it. This is why I'm immediate I involve kept my virginity from my ex for instance I soil out she was pregnant by being else, I would involve burned my eyes out rather than.

Earlier this month, I had the honor to host/attend my first Mother's Blessing. It was a very special event and if you have never heard of one, I highly recommend you look them up! A Mother's Blessing or Blessingway is a ceremony/party held for a mother to be that celebrates her and the difficult transition she is facing into being the mother of a new little soul (even if it is the fourth or fifth little soul she has brought into the world). It differs from a baby shower in that the focus is on the challenges the mother faces in labor or in the weeks/months/years after the baby is born. The gifts guests bring are usually practical ones like frozen meals for the family or tokens for the mother to hold during labor or just when she needs strength. The women also make a plan to nurture the burgeoning family after it has been expanded. It's a chance for women to get together and build up the confidence and love a mother needs right before her newborn is born. Although I could go on about the amazingness of Mother's Blessings forever, I think I will save it for a future blog.
In the case of this Mother's Blessing, one of my favorite parts of the ceremony actually turned out to be the introductions. I had asked each of the guests to tell us who they were and tell a story about what the woman we were throwing the Mother's Blessing for meant to each of us. There were quite a few tears as we each told stories of how this amazing mother of (now) two also managed to inspire and help each of us. Although many of the guests didn't really know each other, none of us were surprised by how each of us felt about such a great friend and inspiring woman. However, the guest of honor seemed shocked. She kept exclaiming "What?" It was as if our amazing friend and mom-inspiration, Rachael, had no idea how motivating and invigorating she was not only to her own family, but to her friends as well. She did not know who she really was to the rest of the world!
This got me thinking. While moms are excellent at simultaneously seeing both the potential and the challenges of our children, I'm not sure we turn that double vision on ourselves enough. In our quests to be the best moms we can be and to reach our own ideals of what that should be, I don't think we pay enough attention to what we do impressively well for our friends, for our families (including extended families), and our communities. Too often, we seem to focus on our flaws. We berate ourselves for them, we attempt to forgive ourselves for them, we write about them, but we forget that for every flaw, we also have an inspirational skill inside of us.
So, I have a challenge for you today. Since it is so hard to remember to praise yourself, maybe you can praise a friend or a family member today instead. Let her know exactly what she means to you, just as she is (even if her day is not going perfectly) and what an amazing mother she is to you. Maybe if we all take turns mothering each other, we can each get better at mothering ourselves!
Thanks for reading,
Shawna

ROMANCE HAS LIMITATIONS!
Never try to be too much romantic to your girl friends. It may create a pathetic artificial love scene which girls never like..! Try to understand the limitation of romances!
For example, when your girl friend or wife is in a very ordinary mood, do not try to praise her a lot or no not try to create a romantic scene which she will understand very well that the situation is too much artificial.
Romances should come naturally. It should be along the path of the life and should not get inserted like hurdle sub roads in a national highway.
Romances should be welcomed by your girl friends. It should not be impregnated voluntarily. It is a mutual understanding of both the parties.
Unacceptable romances sometimes lead to failure of relationship and in rare cases it may break permanently. Beware of these situations and try to understand your lovers. See to that they accept your romantic moods.
