So..here I am back on the road in Kelowna. It really is the start of Summer here. I grew up spending a lot of my Summers here as a kid. I have a lot of family memories here. Eating peaches and cherries and playing in the water..I remember catching Minos in a little net with other kids on the beach and learning how to water ski here. My dad would make me slaver on a thick layer of 30 or 45 sunscreen if I wanted to stay out in the sun past noon.

Anyways..where was I. Oh ya, I met with Joel Stewart ( who got a hair cut and looks Great!!)and the whole production team for dinner last night. It was a really good dinner and a great start to just over 3 weeks of serious bonding!

I woke up this morning and dragged myself down to the gym. It was my first real workout since before I had bronchitis. I mean sure I’ve been walking and stuff but I haven’t actually lifted clunky metal things and bounced around on a purple ball for quite some time.

It went well, but having a green tea while watching tv on the treadmill was a civilized way of easing into it..heehee.

Then I was off to B103 where I chatted with the folks there. They are such nice people! “Dirtman” ..the station promotions rep was kind enough to drive me to Michael’s crafts where I finally picked out a needle point to start…Casey Clarke kind of makes fun of me for doing nerdy crafts but what the heck..I am traveling so much, and I don’t like to sit still and do nothing so needle point makes it relaxing and keeps my mind calm. Also, I can get a little obsessed with emails and whats happening next and whats happening next..

Tomorrow is my first day being a judge on K-star! I hope all you shower singers come out and sing for us! I heard from a little birdie that the singers here in Kelowna were incredible today!! I am really looking forward to it and I have some cute clothes from Mavi Jeans and some greeeeat accessorize from Beauty Mark (my fav little beauty store in Vancouver) so that’s always a good thing! I am not sure..I think I may skip wearing the jean daisy dukes..hmmm or maybe I’ll try em?

I wish I brought a mini travel guitar with me..darn. I’ll have to pick one up somewhere along the way!

I broke half the nail on my right pinkie ..ouch! ( info you didn’t need to know..but I thought was important to tell you..and every time I type my finger hurts!!)

I think I’m going to attempt to watch Benjamin Button now……..I have a feeling I will be taken on a very long adventure…just a feeling.

Ps. The BIG apple here in Kelowna is this giant apple where I think they sell fries…but when I was a kid, I thought it was a magic apple on the beach!
