So there she be. I just can't believe how fast this summer is going by. I'm not sure if that just comes with age or what, but holy. I'm entering into my 32nd year on earth, and it's just crazy. I have been to the lake this summer, which beats my record from last summer already, so that's awesome.

In August, I will be away from the city on vacation, so my next show will be...September 9! Holy shamole!

Sendin' love and wishes for an awesome duration of the summer!

Kath

The year, she be half over!

I am in awe at how fast time can slip by! When did it become June? 

It's been a busy-esque month, and I'm slipping at posting my playlists. Forgive me!

I will be hosting two shows next week - in my own time slot, Monday 6-8am and on Thursday, June 20 from 6-8am as well, filling in for the ever-gallivanting Brendan Flaherty who is off to Sled Island, a huge music festival in Calgary. He better bring me back some presents! :) (Totally kidding, happy to help!)

May 6! The most beautiful day of the year so far. No really, it was 27 degrees! Above zero!

I actually had a rare Monday off yesterday, so I enjoyed the day with a long walk by the river, something I need to do a bit more often. I need to keep getting to know the city I have called home since April 2010.

Can't believe I've been here for three years!
