I am a blessed girl.

My good friends in mexico are sending me tamarindo lollipops in mango and watermelon flavor. If you haven't been to mexico or have but haven't tried these specific lollipops. They are amazing. Lollipops in all different flavors covered in chilli. Sooo good. I miss the 'beer' flavored lollipops, frick those are good. But the tamarindo ones are the best, the chilli coating is heaven sent.

ps. someone come mow my lawn, its starting to look like a jungle, and I have no lawn mower to do it myself.

nostalgia

A friend wanted to borrow an old cell phone of mine, and before I handed it over I turned it on. Oh the memories I got just from looking at old texts. Thinking of where I was last year at this point is wierd, things were different, but just as complicated. Life really doesn't get easier. Yet, I know I can't complain, there are others that have it so much worse than me. I guess its true when they say all good things come to an end.



I love Nelly Furtado: I can't even say how much I love her. She's amazing! If you think otherwise please die.





Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end



ps. dancing to Bon Jovi in the livingroom with my little sister is my idea of a fun friday night.

lilac bushes are blooming everywhere

I can't wait for it to be just a tad warmer so me and my sister can play soccer and tennis all day long.
I love spring and summer for these reasons:
- the smell of lilacs everywhere you go
- bike rides
- trail rides
- soccer (soccer field across from our house)
- tennis (yes, we have a tennis court ACROSS from our house)
- walks
- running in the grass barefeet, chasing after my bouncing puppies
- cabins
- the beach
- swimming
- camping
- late night walks
- gelati
- swings

Summer is great.

PSALM 136:25 ...And who gives food to every creature. His love endures forever.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since you left me. You’re gone but I still miss you every single day. I don’t know if I ever fully got over your unexpected death. I honestly thought I would have you till I was half a century old; suddenly you were gone. I really never thought you’d leave so soon. I wish I spent more time with you. I wish we could go for another bike ride again. I wish I could see your chicken dance or hear you sing and dance to rap, or call Amelie continuously. The house is so quiet without you. You could have lived so much longer and I still wonder why you left so fast. I know everybody has their time, but I think your time came too soon, at least too soon for me. Today is a hard day; I miss you so much still. I love you Kilkenny. Have fun in Birdie Heaven. xoPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


For all forest creatures are mine already, the animals on the mountains in their thousands. I know every bird in the air, whatever moves in the fields is mine. PSALMS 50:10-11 Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I don't understand the dynamics

I don't know what to think.
I don't know how to act.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know how to respond.
I just don't know.
I hate not knowing.

I need to learn to be more patient; more patient with myself mostly. Patience is a virtue right? It is just so hard to be patient and see what the final outcome of a predicament might be. I am constantly pushing myself into situations that I don't know how to get out of. I do have patience for animals and children; yet when it comes to problems or situations that arise in my own life... I just can't wait, I want it solved right away. It is impossible... and it is something I need to learn to take my time with more. In life we may have nothing but time; but life is short, so how much time do we really have?


ps. how do I add friends on the side? I know its the html codes. but still. how? help!

she said she needs someone, someone to love her

-Being a woman means you are stuck with a brain that is in constant overdrive. Sometimes, in fact most of the time, I think too much. I over analyze every situation to the point that it drives me bonkers. I’m not going to lie; at times I wish I was a guy. Their brains seem to be so much simpler, well at least with most of them. Drinking insane amounts of coffee has been keeping me up late at night. I’m not an insomniac but I just couldn’t get to sleep last night. There were just so many thoughts running through my head. I didn’t get to bed till 5am. I went to bed after the social at around 3am and soon realized I was not going to fall asleep for awhile still. I sat at home in the dark in my living room, on my laptop, chatting on msn to the one person who would be awake at such an odd hour. My dear friend, the night owl… Colin. He was drunk and amusing and having fun in Minneapolis. I was proud of him for not taking a random girl home that night. It’s a reason to celebrate. He made me a promise to get loaded with me Tuesday night, drinks on him. Someday he’ll teach me how to win 8k in cash by playing poker, like he did a few Fridays ago. I finally fell asleep at around ten past 5am I think…at 9:30am I woke up to a text message. As soon as my dogs hear any sort of beeping whether it is my alarm or my phone they immediately jump up “time to eat and play”. However, if I turn it off and pretend to go back to sleep, they will too. It’s pretty funny watching them jump up excitedly when my alarm goes off and then crawl under the covers and go back to sleep after I hit “snooze”. Oh my dogs. They are great little creatures who amuse me on a daily basis. Such unconditional love, if none other, at least I can count on them.

-My ADD brain went from talking about being a woman to insomnia to my dogs. Wow.

- I'm at work and I usually enjoy working on a sunday, its slack and its 27.50 an hour. I pretty much get paid to sit on my ass. Today, unfortunately, there is a big open house for our new building which opened up a few months ago. This means there are tours of people coming through the building non stop...so I gotta pretend like I'm actually working. At least I get free hot dogs, doughnuts, drinks and cake.
-After work I’m going with my friend Mel to look at a few horses. Her and her boyfriend Joey are purchasing their first horse and want me to come along to give them advice. I’m so excited for them. I remember when I purchased my first horse just over a year ago. It was so surreal having her. Every time I went to see her last year I couldn’t believe she was all mine. Now that feeling is gone, but I still can't believe I managed to make at least one of my dreams a reality. I can't wait for my next dream to become a reality.

I'll be on the next train home. Add it to the endless list of all the things we'll never ever know.

Why is life so up and down all the time? One minute you feel like the happiest, luckiest girl in the world, and the next you feel like its all crashing down around you. School never seems to be ending. I worked hard last summer just to get it out of the way. I went to school all through till the end of august. Basically I was in school for 11 months straight, only to find out a month later that I took 9 credit hours of the wrong courses and won't be graduating in time. Now I have to go back this september to take those 9 credit hours, and the thought of going back to school is so depressing for me. And then there is the even more depressing thought of...."what will I do once school is done?". I used to think I knew exactly what I was going to do and where I was going. I have learnt I was terribly wrong! Sometimes I love life, sometimes I hate it. I know its the same for everyone, but I guess today is one of those days where I hate it. Since I got back from Regina monday morning, everything seems to be going wrong, and I am literally on the verge of tears today. I had such a rough day at work yesterday, and then I get home and nothing gets better. It just feels like everything is slowly slipping away and that is the scariest thought in the world for me. I hate when my biggest fears start to become a reality. I hate complaining and I hope thats not what I am doing here, I just needed to vent.
