July 4th: Not knowing what to pack for the Yukon is a good problem to have. Will it be hot? Will it be cold? ... Who cares??? It's the Yukon. It's going to be AWESOME.
July 5th: Flights with TVs are good. Flights with fresh fruit, and warmed homemade cookies are better! Thank you Air North! Also - the time vortex of having the sun barely move while you're in the air (staying in the same time zone) is flipping awesome.

July 6th: Taking a long drive just to hang out by the water to relax is completely worth it! YAY FOX LAKE!
July 7th: It turns out that I can actually see myself living in the States. As a Madam at the Red Onion Saloon and Brothel Museum in Skagway Alaska. (Please take note of the word "Museum". I would want to take guests through history, NOT other things).
July 8th: A sunset is more epic when it takes place after 11pm. (Also, "Happy Birthday, Mom!")
July 9th: Apparently my favourite situations are awkward situations. I don't know if this is really a lesson so much as just self-reflection.
July 10th: When comparing Musicals to Shakespeare, Musicals WILL likely win! Particularly when they have home field advantage. If you want to know what I'm talking about you can check out this link.
July 11th: I haven't given The Music Man nearly enough credit. It's actually a really fun musical, with or without Eric McCormack.
July 12th: I am EXTREMELY privileged. (Also, I will forever base my life upon being able to hear the stories of others, because it is through those stories that I am best able to put my life into perspective and strive to be the best person I can be. Thank you Maki for your inspiring show!)
July 13th: An improv show depends entirely with how well your respect your fellow improvisers. And fortunately I regularly improvise a place that commands respect ... of EVERYONE who improvises. Whether they are local, or from Germany, the US, or Slovenia!
July 14th: I REALLY need to take lessons in Botany. I'll need them for when I have a massive garden of my own that has plenty of veggies, fruits, and other pretty things. If only I had my mother's green thumb.
July 15th: An impromptu date night is always appreciated, no matter how tired I am.

July 16th: My body doesn't it like when I take a break from an extremely hectic lifestyle.
July 17th: Despite how much I think I might want something, I generally always feel better when I share the wealth (particularly when I should).
July 18th: It seems that a lot of people are looking for some crazy and silly in their lives. And that's what a pack of wolves and a cannon arm are for!
July 19th: VANCOUVER HAS BOAT LOADS OF TALENT! And a very difficult job environment for university graduates. Fortunately we can sing about it though!
July 20th: Apparently my body does like to sleep in every once in a while. And if I let it sleep in (even when I shouldn't), it will take full advantage.
July 21st: New Westminster might very well be my future hometown. Awesome park, and I could really use those hills!
July 22nd: Censorship is silly! Also - I'm PROUD to be an artist/producer in Vancouver.
July 23rd: 2 heads are better than 1, and several heads are better than 2. Lots of stuff to look forward to in the upcoming year at work!
July 24th: The burlesque show I did in University MIGHT NOT be my last. Still thinking this one through.
July 25th: Seriously STOP judging a book by its cover. When a guy with a do-rag, and his pants pulled down under his butt is taking up several seats with his sprawling legs, do NOT assume that he's selfish and inconsiderate of others. It might turn out that HE will be the first one to get up and move when someone else needs to sit down. LESSON LEARNED! Thanks do-rag guy. You have a nice day too!
July 26th: Watching musicals as homework for a project is really hard work! (Did you detect the sarcasm?)
July 27th: It's always worth the bus ride to PoCo! ... Still don't know if it's worth the drive to Acton though.
July 28th: When a group of dietitians plan a bachelorette involving a hike, go on that hike. Those dietitians might be ridiculously health and fit, but they are also likely very smart and will make sure the hike is suitable to people of all fitness levels. Also - you might get some spectacular views.

July 29th: A day of playing board games, eating, drinking, and hanging out with good friends is STILL the best way to spend a day off. (Throw some improv in there and it's even better).
July 30th: Taking Mondays off in July was the BEST IDEA EVER!!!
July 31st: Preparing to go on vacation is still a very stressful task, but it also allows me the time I need to ENJOY my vacation. For that, I am grateful.
Stay tuned for August!
