The Chocolatey Snowshoe Verdict

Not an easy thing to do to decide on the perfect dates for Kittyn and I for tonight for our delightfully romantic winter date to Cypress Mountain.  I’ve wanted to go on the Chocolate Fondue Snowshoe Tour for so many years now that this is not a decision to be made lightly.  Also I have to say, theres been some damn sweet, most flattering and rather amusing Valentines.

So here are my thoughts:

Would love to take either Clive or Christian (@daubu), but they live too far away to make it here on time.

Adore my little Dose of Lunacy (@monicahamburg) and @saltybean, but they hate snow and I don’t want them ruining my love of snow (already I’m thinking of gagging Kittyn, at least until we arrive at Hollyburn Lodge).

Raul will always be my Valentine, but I may have to strangle him if he starts whispering ‘sweet Microsoft Vista nothings’ in my ear, so he’s out, as that would take away from the romance.

Tris, the Hussey, is a taken man and I want a bit of romance, so he’s out.

My ginger’s letters made me laugh, but call me weird (and many have), but I don’t find having my eyeballs plucked out with a spoon to be all that romantic and I want romance.

@ericaha is the perfect snow loving gal, but she confessed to me that she actually already has plans for this evening.  Should have known the good ones would go fast.

It is for my desire for romance that I’ve decided to make Keith my date.  His letter is the most romantic and I do have to admit that he’s a good kisser, plus he likes nibbling on my ears.

For Kittyn, I’ve decided that ‘Savannah’ would be the perfect date for her, as they are both brats and deserve each other.

Congrats Keith and ‘Savannah’!  Looking forward to discovering how the night unfolds!

Kisses,

Emme

Love Letters to Emme

December 12, 2008 By 6 Comments

At the demands of my adoring public, I’ve decided to start a new column on here entitled ‘Love Letter to Emme’. Okay – so it was really just Teddy being silly over a Toon Town beer, but it was his idea, not mine – really.  Yes, yes Lola – I can just picture you rolling your eyes in your head as I type.  But personally I think the idea is bloody hilarious and one that I am personally encourage!

So how does it work?  All you need to do is send me a love letter and I will post it here.  Your choice as to how: it could be an email, facebook message, flickr photo, Strutta or YouTube video (in fact, I encourage a whole Strutta competition on this), or even a tweet (although, I may wait for a few before I post).  To be politically correct and so as not to exclude anyone, this is an open opportunity call for Love Letters – meaning that men, women and family pets are all encouraged to participate.  I can just hear A Dose of Lunacy sighing a breath of relief, as I know she has just been dying to send me a love letter. Nows your time you crazy gal!

Okay – I’m waiting – any time now …..

Love you all!

Emme

PS Nearly forgot – my email is emme@sexyinvancity.com

Combating Hibernation Ever So Slowly & Sexily

November 14, 2008 By 6 Comments

I am not a Chipmunk, so I have to remind myself that I am not preparing to hibernate for winter.  Meaning that I don’t need to be eating all the fatty foods that have been so tempting as of late and I don’t need to slow down my metabolism and activity levels for winter. After all I am a Canadian gal and I do need to be in tip top shape for a season of winter sports.  I mean really gals why cuddle up on a couch when you can go for a romantic moonlight snowshoe, skate a top of a mountain, enjoy a picnic of bread, cheese and mulled wine whilst taking a jaunt on local cross-country ski trails. And in my mind this is ten times sexier (well at least more amusing) when you can skate circles around your date and ‘accidentally’ knock him into the snowbank when he is least expecting.

Combating the early stages of northern hibernation by reminding myself that I am a sexy goddess and should make myself feel as such by taking some extra special aerobic dance classes.  Fortuitously coinciding with this craving to ‘bring back sexy’, my favorite ‘sexy’ dance instructor, the Glam Cat, has returned from her year long hiatus. Just not the same with anyone else, as she has me laughing so hard that I forget what a workout I am getting until I wonder why my hips are so tired afterwards.  Plus she makes every woman, no matter what age, shape, size or age feel like the sexy devil that they should.
