Reasons to Celebrate

Ok, I know I'm a bit crazy. I've known it for years -- it's nothing new. Some may think I'm a bit over the top with my love for Celine but really, it's just another reason to celebrate! And to celebrate LIFE (and eat cookies!)!

So, that being said...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CELINE! 42 -- WOO!

I love celebrating Celine's birthday! Like I said, it's an excuse to celebrate life and it makes me happy! It reminds me of the palooza parties that we would have when I worked at Brentwood. My friend Freeman had the idea to just celebrate someone on any random day. We would have a dinner party and make a cake and the only stipulation was that the person who was honoured had to share their life story. It was a great excuse to get together and learn more about each other! Fun times!

I celebrate Celine by either making cupcakes (2008) or cookies (2010) in some artistic expression of her and then it's all about picking out the right outfit and clearly listening to her music ALL the day long. Today, I opted to wear the jeans that I wore to her concert in Vancouver on October 20, 2008 along with the t-shirt from the Las Vegas concert on June 2, 2007. All this is topped off with my selection of the scent, 'Springtime in Paris' which Auntie Anita bought for me!

Man, I'm cool! ;)

Oh, not to mention...this day happens to be the end of my Olympic experience too! I'll be packing my car tomorrow and heading away from Whistler with a whole case of memories! There are going to be times in the coming years where random things will remind me of something that happened here and it will bring back a wave of memories. Something as simple as seeing a security guard at an event will remind me of the many times going through security...or perhaps even just seeing the colour blue will remind me of my uniform. And who can forget about the sound of the cowbell??? How about that time I worked at the Olympics...yeah, that sounds pretty neat!
