Went swimming today

at the wave pool. Kiddo was a bit freaked at first but relaxed after about 15 or so. It’s been a while since we’ve gone swimming. We hope to go every Friday with J&E as she doesn’t have any classes that day. It’ll be good for him

We bummed around shopping for groceries for a bit after that, then I had my eye appt. picked up 2 pair of glasses for just under $200 so I’m excited about that. Get those next Weds..

While I was out Kev called to let me know I got a bit of mail :)

I got my notice to appear at Citizenship and Immigration on January 23rd to write my citizenship test! Guess I need to dig out that study guide and make sure I know mah stuff.

you simply must watch this.

The art of decluttering

because really for those who do it successfully do it well. I am not one of those people. I need to master the art. I know I’ve bleeted on about making plans to clean, declutter etc. Well still haven’t really but I’ve started doing something. I’ve decided to go room by room, clearing out where I can.

photo stuffs

I’ve not been very creative with them lately -l- 3 creative photos a day? har.

that being said I did take my camera out today when I went to see Flame. Didn’t get any shots of him, but I did manage some great fog photos on the way home. Took the long way round through the country as further down to the main road the fog just wasn’t doing it for me. Well, BOY OH BOY, I wanted fog? I got fog with the route I took home. In some places I could only go about 20 clicks because it was so thick I couldn’t see in front of me.

I need your help readers :) I am currently taking suggestions on photo ideas! What would you like me to try and take a photo of? This can include creative self portraits too as I’m doing 365 on flickr and I’m 8 days in and out of ideas already. I’ll try and take a photo of what you suggest, or what I can get the best interpretation of it. There are rules and limitations however. Nudity is at my discretion.. which is probably not gonna happen but you can ask *L* Also anything that endangers me, my family, my house, my dog or my equipment is also a no go. Be reasonable folks mmkay?

Fun Monday - Meet the Pets

Our Hostess Lisa’s Chaossays: Let’s meet your pets. I think most of us have at least one pet and I would like to see your fluffy or scaly pal. If you don’t have a camera you can tell us about him/her/them. If you don’t have a pet tell us about a pet you had or a pet you want. If for some weird reason you hate all animals we want to know why gosh-dang-it.

OK then!

yay for making a list

of things to do..

101 Things to do in 1001 Days.

I’m about halfway through my list. I’m trying to piece together something that is attainable, that betters my home life, personal life and those around me.

When You Find Yourself

love the movie it comes from… love this little song by Brad Paisley


When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly
You’re becoming someone else
And then you find yourself

When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settlin’ down
The things that would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself

Where you go through life
So sure of where you’re headin’
And you wind up lost and it’s
The best thing that could have happened
‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it’s really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself

When you meet the one
That you’ve been waitin’ for
And he’s everything that you want and more
You look at him and you finally start to live for some one else
And then you find yourself
That’s when you find yourself

When we go through life
So sure of where we’re headin’
And we wind up lost and it’s
The best thing that could have happened
‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it’s really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself

Projectile Vomit

consisting of scrambled egg, diced turkey and 3.25% milk = so not cool.

That old saying?

You cannot help those, who refuse to help themselves….

yeah.

Realizing what I had in friendships
