Don't settle just because you're lonely.

"There's a kind of love that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are. One that makes you feel that anything is possible."

I'm holding out for that.

lately

Alot has happened in the past few weeks I don't even know where to start.

-Got into my first car accident. I was rear ended by a large truck who then pushed me into three other cars. It turned out to be a 4 car pile up. My car is a write off. Luckily I'm getting 700$ more for it than I paid, so thats the happy ending to that.

-Oct 3-10th I went to San Diego. Had an amazing time. Ninja got to put his little paws in the ocean for the first time. He loved the water, hated the waves. He was a little rockstar, everywhere we went people loved him. The hotel staff at the Hilton were constantly asking for him and he was treated like a little prince out there. I love how pet friendly california is.

-We got to go on the live taping of Jimmy Kimmel in Hollywood. That was neat. I can't believe how small the audience actually is. Jimmy Kimmel is short, really short. And not that funny.

-Oct 10th: I was supposed to fly to vancouver for a week to hangout with some amazing friends and party. Unfortunately I got extremely sick and had to switch my flight from vancouver to winnipeg. Ugh. When I got back to Winnipeg I spent the following week (including thanksgiving) in the hospital hooked up to two IV's and a morphine drip. Oh joy.

-Today was my first day back at work after being off for 2 weeks. I am so lucky my kids were easy on me today. I wouldn't have been able to handle much more. I enjoy teaching but the days when they are difficult can take its toll on me and considering I am still recovering I was hoping today would not be one of those days. I lucked out. What special kids they really are. They are the reason I enjoy going to work everyday. I missed them while I was gone for two weeks.

I couldn't have read something more truthful about myself than this.

"Now and then a Pisces girl will cover her shyness and vulnerability with wisecracks, a sophisticated veneer and a frigid independent personality, but it's merely a cloak of protection, worn to hide her uncertainty from the prying eyes of rough people who would bruise her genfle heart if she exposed it."

Wish everyday was like yesterday...

Its the little things in life that make life so beautiful. Like a group of amazing friends hanging out all day at the beach. The water. The sun. The sand. Drinking. Eating. Sun-bathing. Playing football and volleyball. I don't think I'll ever need a ton of money, a fancy house,a fancy car or wealth to be happy. Yesterday reminded me of how lucky I am to have the people I have around me. And as long as I continue to have amazing friends and family around me I will be a blessed girl.

Yesterday we went to grand beach.

There was us four girls and about 12 guy friends.


Life really couldn't have been more grand.




beachin and brawlin... literally.

Sometimes I think I could move to vancouver...

All my friends are going there. I miss them. My best friend leaves in 4 weeks. What am I going to do without her? I was supposed to move there in May. I think I could move there. Then I remember why I didn't move there, in May, as was planned. I could never afford it. If I'm always broke in winnipeg, what makes me think I could ever afford to live in Vancouver?

I was doing so well with saving money...'was' being the key word.


Today I got paid. After paying all the many bills I have, I had 208$ to last me for two weeks. Awful. But I could manage on that. No problem. Then my dog's ear started bleeding. Took her to the vet...181$ later I find out she has a severe ear infection. Poor girl. Poor me. I now have 27$ to last me till payday. FML


The upside: I'm so glad my San Diego/Vancouver trip from Oct 2-Oct 18th are fully paid for. :)

you

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

It was beautiful out today; +25 at least. It was the perfect day for a ride. I went on a three hour trail ride with 8 other people. I got to ride Tia. It was the first time I had really ridden in months. I missed riding. I missed her. I also missed the weird conversations that are started on horseback. We rode through fields of alfalfa, around bales of hay, through ponds filled with ducks, geese and comorants. There were ducklings in those ponds. Its almost the end of August. Its late in the season for there to be tiny ducklings...maybe this means we'll have a longer summer? If not, those little ducklings better grow up fast so they can fly away before -50 hits us. Sometimes I feel like one of those little ducklings.
