Food

I made Linda's Lasagna from allrecipes.com and it was super good. I took a photo and submitted it, so they may use it on their website.


I wonder why coffee tasted so much better after it's been in the pot for 3 hours.

Little to do

Somebody help me Dave's cleaning. We're not talking dirt cleaning, but the most feared JUNK cleaning. We are planning a big yard sale, probably a few of them really in my parents garage. They live on the main yardsale drag in our town so this is a very good plan for purging unwanted crap.

Rob, Dave's brother, is moving here from england in a few weeks. Dave is in his soon to ge room now hiding all sorts of nasty fake bugs. Nothing says welcome to Canada like a giant cockroach climbing the wall.

I'm not really into writing on my blog right now because I am not thrilled with the template yet. That's why I didn't post for a long time, because I was really frustrated with how it looked and my unability to fix it.

Round Here

Christmas and NewYears

So for anyone stopping by I just though I'd leave you a note that Christmas and New Years went really well here for us. I got a new camera/video for Christmas and it's great. I've been trying to upload video to buzznet to post on here, but I have been having no luck. :( I'll keep trying..

Wrapping

The wrapping of my Christmas presents usually gets left until Christmas Eve. So any present you get from me, you can assume has been wrapped for about 12 hours. This year I have a few items wrapped up, but I hate to wrap before I've purchased everything, cause I usually make last minute switches. When using the sticky name tags, last minute switches also means re-wrapping.

We had a birthday dinner here for my dad tonight. That went well, I made yummy yummy food! It started with fresh rolls (pillsbury kind), bacon wrapped scallops and a shrimp ring with our favorite sauce. We also had wine, apple cider and coffee. Then it was top sirloin rounds with potates and asparagus.

Photobucket is not working, so no photos today.

the bad sad

So I have been away with my familly as my grandfather passed away on Thurs Oct 6. It is very sad and today was the funeral. It was kind of unexpected but expected at the same time. I am planning on drowning myself in work until... oh about Christmas. My grandmother is now alone... And that is sad too. They were married for 57 years.

Death makes me think, reassess and re-evaluate my goals in life. I hate being sad and always try to speed the process up and get past it, only to have the sadness come stomping back in when it is least welcome. So in short I am glad it is over, the funeral and memorial, but I know the bad sad.. The sad that leaves you passed out on the floor from tears, that sad has not come yet... I'm expecting it mid march 2007 or something like that.

Maybe it won't come at all.. Maybe because I was able to be with him and hold his hand during his last 3 hours, and even though he was not very conscious I was able to say what I needed to and cry when I needed to and he was able to squeeze my hand. Maybe that will make it easier, here's hoping...

Love you Papa

Banish Baby Baldness

I think this is hilarious:

Yes trendy moms everywhere can now accesorize their babies! I should invent a babypurse, a carrier for your baby that looks like a purse! hahaha These are actual wigs sold for babies.

Bored of the Blog

I't already bored of this template. I found someone to make me one but I can't decide what I would like. Typical. Any suggestions? Yeah no I didn't think so.

Remember when people used to smoke in movies?
I'm watching the Jackal with Richard Gere.

Everyone is dying so the movie must almost be over now. Good thing too cause I need to get up ubber early.

I'm still awake!

Oh my god I can't wait to see these two new shows:

Little People, Big World

My Three Wives

I was bummed out that I didn't find a link to the photos of the Little People cast.

I decided what I am going to for christmas this year...... Amish Friendship Bread !! I'm sooo excited it's been years since I made one. I never new how to make the starter but I it tonight!

This week seems to bring peace and harmony and a chance to succeed if you want to. There don't appear to be any obstacles holding you back from doing what you want, need, or have to do. You seem to be in a very optimistic mood right from the start, and it also seems you have something to celebrate as well. Your mind is at rest, and this gives you more energy and determination to proceed at a fast rate. You also get help from others who have the time and necessary resources to share with you. Enjoy your good fortune, Jenny

I'm having a Toadaly Great Week!

i had lunch with a ninja because i was high.

Blogger is doing some wierd shit
I got the title of my post from a forward that asked you 3 questions and each answer gives a piece of a sentence. The you put the sentences to gether. You get the idea

I've decided to try yoga. Actually I did try a bit of yoga, I hurt myself. So I'm thinking about taking a class. My boyfriend says he'll try it with me this winter. He thinks it will be hilarious cause people are supposed to fart.

We're going to coffee at Sarah and Chris's sunday. I may go to C'town tomorrow and get new carpet for our entryway. I've been re-decorating the kitchen for a few weeks. I didn't paint, but I moved our fishtank. The curio cabinet and kitchen table also got shuffled.

I got a nail jazz kit for my birthday. It is nail polish pens/markers so you can draw mini photos on your nails.

Hi

I've been doing a lot of things lately, blogging not so much. Just checking in to say Hi!

Happy Day

I am happy... yes happy. Don't stop reading just yet, I know how all you blogger readers love the suicidal/prozac can't go on style posts..however right now that is not me. Now it may have something to do with the bottle of red I've precariously consumed this evening but that's ok cause let's face it drunk posts are nothing new in this blogosphere.

Maybe today I am choosing to see the positive instead of the negative, I must say there is much to be said for this way of thinking, it is absolutely smashing!!! Yes I did just say smashing and I would indeed use such words in a conversation were you to have a conversation with me after 1-2 bottles of said red wine. If you have never had the pleasure if being inebriated in my company I must recommend it, I AM HILARIOUS!!

I'm still working on my masterpiece. It's really late and I've just finished watching cider house rules on tv, it was a good movie. I case you hadn't heard I'm speedily approaching the 25 year mark as of last monday.. what a birthday that will be. Crazy... to be honest I'm extremely excited that I've lasted this long, making it through my teens.... wow.. what can I say?? I'm very glad to be where I am right now, I feel absurdly optimistic like things are only ever going to get better from here on. Mabe they will or not, but this is a great way of thinking. I think I'm understanding the whole alcoholic thing right at this moment.. Like hell yeah I get why you would want to be this optimistic all the time, who wouldn't?

But it's not real, it's the wine talking. In case you didn't know I'm self employed. Anyone else out there self-employed?? CORRECTION... Anyone else out there successfully self-employed?? cause I would love to hear how you stay motivated to keep working. I know that might sound dumb, but when no one is up your ass to get things done, sometimes they just don't get done... y'know??

P.S. I say NICE way too much... if you know me and I say it... please stop me. k, thanks

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yep, today was my birthday and I am happy to report it was great. I got new acrlic paints and some canvas. I started a black and white painting that may or may not morph into a color painting. I'll keep you posted.

oh my

I am soo not here right now. Have been working 12 hour days with 1 hour drive each way. Tonight dave was asking me about something and I took it way personally and then concluded the evening with an oscar style sob fest. Oh my god I suck. I thought wailyn was dying tonight cause he was doing this convulsing hiccup thing. My birthday is coming up soon and that's always a bad day for me. I don't know why but somehow on my birthday I always end up crying. I just saw a body break commercial, don't those freaks age?

Blog Fashion

I updated my blog look because it was looking to old. I understand why people who update their blogs all the time like to change things up once and awhile.

If anyone knows how to center the name on my profile, that would be great.

So far this summer I have had a bon fire and been to the park, tomorrow we are going to the beach.

Sleep is my therapy

I've been finding myself sleeping about 10 hours a day lately. While that is not a phenomenal amount, the fact that I would like to sleep even more is a bit of a pickle. That's really all I want to do, especially in the mornings. How do you get that enthusiams to want to get out of bed? Is it because my life is not very exciting at the moment? I don't think I can rememeber the last time I really wanted to get out of bed. Maybe I should make an appointment for first thing in the morning, the only problem is what do you want to do everyday that won't get boring very quickly? I think I need more organization in my life, but when the choice is : get up and organize your life or stay in bed and sleep until you absolutely MUST get up... well I don't know about you but for me the choice is clear... Maybe I'm just a exceptional underacheiver.

The speed of light

Summer is in full swing, the sun has been beautiful and the humidity tolerable. I have only just begun to realize that summer has arrived when suddenly, I realize it is getting dark earlier. That which has just arrived has already started to leave.

All too soon the harvest festivals will begin and soon to follow the pumpkins, goblins and witches. Before the brooms have dissapeared in the moonlight, retailers will be hauling out the reindeer and elves. By then 2007 is just around the corner..

Will I have any accomplishments to show for these 365 days?? Any goals set in January 2006 have been long forgoten. Should I stop worrying where I am going and start trying to just enjoy the journey? Or is that just what lazy people say to avoid the guilt of standing still forever???

Martini me up

I've started to write this post way toooo many times. The highlight of my trip to Ontario was my first martini, and then my second. Followed by many more various drinks and a very long walk home. It was my last night in Niagara Falls and it was perfect.

This is Kelso

I'm scared of the movie "the hills have eyes". I've been afraid of it ever since I heard the title, now dave is watching it and I'm trying not too look. I was finally able to get into the bottle of merlot that peter gave me a few months ago. It was home made so I had to let it set for awhile, it's really good.

I met a psychic named Karen and she did my spirit totem for me. It's like a bunch of animals that are supposed to represent who you are. My mane animal is the Butterfly which represents change and transformation. It was really very interesting, but that's all I have to say about it for now.
