Dreaming.In.Reality

The old gate at my parents’ house.

I’m down to my last few bites of the fake Rice Crispies. I had a hankering for HoneyComb cereal last week. I think I shall get some of that soon.

I have a bit to blog about, but everytime I go to write it up, I get that meh feeling. It’s not that I don’t want to blog, or that I’m tired of it.. obviously if that was the case, I’d not even consider it.. but I feel that I don’t have the energy*L* or time.. but yet then I sit there hitting refresh on my browser watching a forum :\

New things is.. I finally fixed the search function. Now when you search, instead of giving you the comments, it takes you to the actual entry*L* I haven’t really given TOO much thought to the functionality of pmachine. Maybe I should.. and it will become more interesting to me.

Another new thing.. I’ve been thinking about the family tree again lately. My dad has that Family Tree Maker v.5 or something.. I hope it will work on my system. I remember the CD he has is older than dirt, wel ok, not older than dirt.. but at least 7 years old. The version offered on the website is the same version as what he is sending me.. so who knows. NOW.. to get my Mumsie to send me her side of the family notes that she has…

Dragon Ice Sculpture. Ottawa Winterlude 2001.

We’ve passed last year’s donation raised amount! Today is the last day! You have till 11:59pm EST to donate to the cause. This year has been astounding with the amount of donations, causes and photographs. Get those last minute photos in! Boobies in need across the world thank you!

Unit = 10 steps

20 steps up (which coincidently was also facing north)…40 steps east..

School Lockers.

This was also my 200th post on Picturing Reality

I got up around 6am not so bright eyed and bushytailed. Had a shower and got myself ready.. had some coffee, a bit of breakfast.. and was ready to go. Kev dropped me off in the middle of Wellington practically*L* Just infront of the Chateau.. I walked up to Parliament Hill quite briskly to keep warm. The morning was pretty chilly! Crisp and clear though. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful! I checked in, dropped off my offline donation sheet, picked up my run kit. I then went and sat down to dig through it, couldn’t find any pins, so back to the registration booth for those. I finally was able to pin my number on, and my honour bib on the front. I cursed not having 4 pins for each paper, but oh well.. I figured out a way to keep them on without wrinkling and ripping.

I did lots of standing around trying not to become a katsicle, stretching bouncing in placewalking around the Hill. I tried vainly to leech heat from the Eternal Flame-lol- didn’t work so well. I saw our old bank manager at the CIBC tent. I put my mom’s name up on the Wall of Hope.Took some photos, cried some tears. Finally things started to pick up. I was there SO early. I was there at 730, nothing really started till 9am. They had some opening speeches, and statistic readings, and the runners got ready to head out.

Tree in Data Centre Park

the Metcalfe Fair. Plans were made, snapcam was bought, and off I went to meet Miss Sandi, Scott and the girls at the fair. We were all doing the no rain magic dance, and well.. the rain held off to right when we were ready to head home for the day. We would have had to have left anyways, as the sky opened up.. and the rain was pouring down. There were a few streaks of lightening. We went on all sorts of rides, Drewie got to ride on a few of the big people rides with us. I convinced Sandi to go TWICE on this horrible ride called the DropZone. It looks sort of like this.. but only one tower and of course it’s of less height. Sandi if you are reading this, that image IS the Power Tower at Cedar Point. -has a moment of panic in memory-

After the fair, I popped down the road to check on Flame. We were gonna take Drewie to visit him, but the baby was extra tired.. and we were all quite exhausted.. so Sandi sprung for pizza and off we went back to her house. Pizza was ate, we sat and chatted.. then it was time for me to come home, so I could have some more eats and get to bed, as 6am was fast approaching.

I know i’ve been slacking this week. It’s just been a strange one. Energy levels low, just not feeling very motivated to write. Plus I have photos galore to work on, and well, I have just one wee group done. After school today, I shall update.

Just an ordinary Pidgie.. But he was my feed the birds buddy as he would sit on my knee and take the bread straight from my hand :) Sportbird almost had a room mate*L*
