A couple of days ago my dear friend Stefan reminded me that it is summer, to unbury myself from the piles of work and to enjoy the oh so HOT summer days!
I think I shall do just that this weekend!!
Swiss Miss
February 6, 2010 By 2 Comments
I’ve always had a fondness for the Swiss, thanks to Stefan and his serenades. Well … that fondness only grew yesterday after attending the opening of Maison de la Suisse.
Maison de la Suisse at Bridges on Granville Island
Very quickly I came to the realization that Switzerland is a Nation that has a fondness for many of the same thing as me – good cheese, chocolate, sausage, wine and views. And best of all, they shared this with those of us that joined them for the Opening. One Swiss gentleman, even let me bite into his schnitzel. Nom, nom, nom nom …
A View from Switzerland
Never fear if you missed it yesterday, they are open for the public from now until February 28th, daily from 8 am – 1 am. Here’s what you can expect if you visit:
- Different yummy samples each day of cheese, chocolates, coffee, biscuits, and ricola.
- St. Moritz Musicians daily at 2, 5, 8 and 10 pm.

- A great view!

One of my favourite Swiss gentlemen just sent this for Fuzzywiggle Furrypants:
Too cute! Hopefully it’ll inspire her to get back to her writing.

Tweeting My Love Life

Been enjoying a rather entertaining week on twitter. Having fun with this form of Social Media and meeting many new faces in and outside the Van City scene. A few twitterlious moments for me have been:
- Getting to know @hummingbird604 better through his tweets
- Meeting the dastardly @seeper76, who keeps me laughing.
- Discovering that we have a following in Europe – thanks to @saabir – whom like a chivalrous European knight has been providing me with tunes to start my day off right.
- An introduction to the musical stylings of @chrisblake

But what I’ve been finding funniest has been the number of tweeters, as of late, that have been taking a vested interest in my love life. Apparently, I appear to be in of help. Hell, I am 34 and single, after all.
- @JuiceBoxRadio is giving me weekly advice on how to meet men in Van City.
- One unnamed tweeter has told me I’m pretty and that he’d like to meet-up sometime soon. That was his first tweet me and no I haven’t met him.
- @OnlineBootyCall has told me that it is okay to be single and just enjoy lots and lots of commitment free sex.
- @DatingCoach is promising to teach me the secrets of dating men – from a man.
- And as of this morning, @MyTweetheart is promising to broadcast my singledom to the tweetisphere and, of course, find me a Tweetheart.
So what’s a girl to do!?! Well this girl, was in a bit of a whacky mood this morning and thought @MyTweetheart was far too funny. So she tweeted, “Sure add me to the site.” And they actually did. Check it out – Females Seeking Males. Can just picture my Mom now not being sure whether to laugh or shake her head and say, “Where did I go wrong?”
So the moral of this story? If you’re not on Twitter now, join me there and you too can delve more into my personal life. I know – exciting, right? You don’t have to be embarrassed, most people can barely contain their excitement at the prospect of befriending me and delving into my oh so exciting personal life.
Kisses to all you sexy things,
Emme
