BUG!!!!

Vancouver was great! It was busy with tourists just like us. And it's not even time for the winter Olympics yet! Btw, if you're going this winter, it's going to be amazing. Vancouver has something for everybody, no joke. We did a lot of walking. A LOT A LOT. My feet are still buzzing. We took advantage of public transportation as much as we could. And can I just say, damn those Vancouverites are fit! The only chubby folk there were us tourists! We ate lots, slept in for the most part and shopped. By the time we returned to the hotel, we were pooped. After reading a few pages of Harry Potter, I would pass out. And I rarely pass out.

In the morning, I'd slowly wake up, rested and refreshed from sleeping on the Heavenly Bed. But something was missing. Something to make my wake-up ritual complete. Did I stretch? Yup, did that. Did I do my rapid eye-blinking to clear any eye boogers? Yeah, can't help that. Yawned and sneezed. Check. What did I miss?! Oh no!!! I didn't get my morning kiss from Bug! Every morning he waits for daybreak like a rooster and jumps on the bed. Crawls slowly towards my face and licks me twice. Sometimes it means he's gotta go number 1 and 2....bad. But usually he's just happy it's morning and that there's still someone home to play with.

Oh Canada...

Vancouver.... finally returning to Canada after all these years. Though I don't think I've ever been to Vancouver. The weather is warm...hot even. And humid. Not Asia or Florida humid...but enough to get your glands going.

We did a lot more than we planned on doing this first day. So, we're beat.
But look here for the rest of the day's photos.

Follow your ears!

The earrings have moved. I didn't want to bore our readers, especially the ones who don't have ears. So, have a look!

Bug Love Friday

Do I have to share?, originally uploaded by philandsandra.

If you ever hear me making funny noises or asking the same question repeatedly, it's because I'm trying to make Bug do this. I love that animals tilt their heads like we do when they get stumped. Did they get it from us? Or is the other way around?

Rodrigo and Gabriela

We fell in love with these guys a while ago and have been waiting and waiting and waiting for them to come to the States, and they are finally on their way! They are unbelievable! If you listen to them without seeing them, you would never believe that it is not an entire band, but only 2 people! They have some great songs and cover some greats like "Wish You Were Here", "Stairway to Heaven", and Metallica's "One."

They will be performing at the Orpheum Theatre in LA on Fri, Sept 25th, so we are recruiting anyone who wants to go with us! Let us know if you want to see them live!

Read their bio here.

Check out one of their more popular songs "Diablo Rojo!"
