Can we help you?
Two days in a row - can you believe it? Last night I met Pepper at the corner of Davie and Granville for a girls’ night. We washed back our Cactus Club beef fajitas with bellinis and margeritas and enjoyed dressing up for a men-free night for once. Soon after we arrived at the restaurant, I raved at how excited I was that they were playing older Depeche Mode. Pepper looks at me and says: “Who?”
“Depeche Mode!” I say. “This is only one of their best-known songs!”
“Oh, I’ve never heard of them…”
I felt old. We left Cactus to head to my place to pour some martinis and spend quality time with our favourite role models: Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte. It always feels so good to watch “Sex and the City.” It’s one of the smartest shows for women - and men - that actually conveys a lot of truths about male slash female relationships.
In case I forgot to mention it in an earlier post, I made some epic decisions two weeks ago.
1) I will re-evaluate what it is in life that I truly value - things that are lasting and genuine as opposed to temporary and fleeting - and ensure that I take steps to make sure my life reflects those values.
2) Instead of fruitlessly investing of myself and my heart into men and potential relationships, I will place my effort into the friendships I have already established and stay away from the dating scene for a while. It’s friendships that pay forward and are a guaranteed return on your investment.
So far, things are working out pretty well in this regard. I want to be the kind of friend that shows up. The kind of friend that listens. I want to be the person that when others speak of, they think “yes, she is a good and faithful friend to me.” So please, you my friends, feel more than free to correct me when I’m not being the kind of friend I desire to be. Communicate with me!
I love you all very, very much.

Hi Keirabelle,
Hot mamasita sends her love as she is working tonight and is thinking of you. You are on the right track of personal growth. It is through our life’s struggles that we grow and learn. I can attest to that. So, I’m just letting you know that there is love coming from the Jones’ family;).xoxo Jane
hey depeche mode’s been around for a long time. maybe pepper is just not into that kind of music.hence cannot feel old cuz’ she hasn’t heard of it especially since you are still young and have your whole life ahead of you to experience. there is a german proverb that i want to share with you: “life is so short, have a good glass of wine and several good friends and enjoy them together.” I will call you this week. love jaeyon.
…and I’m on my second glass of wine but no friend to share it with…we’ll finish off the rest of the bottles when you come home!…love you too
Pepper’s only 19/20, hence her not knowing about Depeche Mode.
I’m looking forward to the phone call…and the wine!
