It's my birthday today. I'm 37.

Sign of aging: I was writing a check to my personal trainer today - I thought that was nice symbolism - writing a check for something so healthy on my birthday.

Only thing was, I dated it June 2, 1970 - 37 years ago, and then I had to cross it out and initial it. Think she'll think that's funny? Probably not if the back sends it back as -- what's the word for an old check that's past it's 'cash by' date? Hmm.

Also saw the movie "Away From Her" an absolutely, amazingly, tremendous film. Not only in its unabashed un-Hollywoodness, but in everything from the acting, the setting, the script, and the topic. A heroic movie by first-time director Sarah Polley.

If you've ever wanted to really see and feel what it's like to live in Canada outside the big cities, this is the film to watch. And boy if I needed something to help me remember how really truly lovely my life is, this was also the perfect film.

Thanks for all the well wishes today. The cards, telephone calls and gifts! My wish for the day is that you wish yourself a FABULOUS day too - because you know what, I believe we're all heroes somehow and we don't celebrate that often enough. Happy day to all of us!

Happy Belated Birthday Andrea!

I must go see Away From Her. I too live in Canada - I'm actually in rural Ontario - and I absolutely love where I live. Sure, it's nice to travel and see the world but nothing beats coming back home to this country.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday and the beauty of blogging is that you get birthday wishes for months! :)

Happy Belated Birthday!

I met Sarah Polley back in 1988 or 89. She was filming a movie in my neighbourhood. My sister and my neighbour friend hung out all day for 4 days outside of the house that they filmed at. We were so intrigued and impressed. My neighbour friend was asked to become Sarah's stand-in! I was "too tall" (who would have thought that!) and my hair wasn't blonde, so I wasn't asked :( booo hoo.

Sarah was fabulous even in her pre-teen years. She talked to us and hung out with us too. I should have got her autograph eh?

It's great to see that Sarah is doing so well and is showing Canada and all of it's great beauty!

Happy Birthday Andrea! Please thank your parents for having you...what would the world of Coaching be like without you!? I don't even want to think about it.
