Look up, look waaaaaaay up. It's Pascal, the friendly neighborhood boy-next-door hanging his laundry!

And here's Jenny's girls: Julie and Isabelle with Nadia's daughter, Justine on the back balcony before our bbq (in honor of Jill, my friend who's due any day now with her first child, Zayd).

Backwards Blogging...

Ok, so I've been super-slacking with the blogging, but there's a good reason...(read on to find out more)...!

Love Thy Neighbor!

Ok, so the real reason I have been so bad with the blogging lately is that I've been seeing the "cute neighbor" from upstairs since Marie-Josée's "stagette" soirée! I seem to have a slight tendancy to date my neighbors (remembering Brent and Benjy: they both lived on the same floor as me in Regina in my apartment on 14th Street!) This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Love Thy Neighbor" and "May I borrow some sugar?" For the last 2 weeks I've been borrowing a lot of sugar and here I am corrupting him with early afternoon g & t's on the balcony. (BTW, his name's Pascal, not just "cute neighbor"). These were taken on June 9th at around 4 pm....

MJ's Stagette ends up on the balcony

One of my best friends got married on June 1st. Marie-Josée lives in NYC now, but is originally from Montreal. She asked if she could stay here the night before (May 31st) the wedding day and I suggested we have a nice quiet dinner and that she invite her other good friend Kori who was to be the witness at the wedding. But....as a joke, I asked my cute neighbor from upstairs to show up around 7pm and to say that he was the hired "exotic dancer" for the "stagette"....! He went all out and even bought a fake mustache and aviatar sunglasses, tight jeans and when he arrived the party started! Many martinis were consumed and there was one martini-glass fatality (as usual). So, what was supposed to be a quiet 'girl's night' turned into a full blown party which ended up outside on my balcony! WoooHoooo! We had so much fun that I decided that even though I may never marry - I sure would love to have a stagette!

MJ arrives with her wedding gear at 8pm, thursday, May 31st
