boarded

ever had a day where your in a relatively good mood even though the world is continuing to shock you with blows below the belt? I had a whole day full of that. But I'm still happy. Could be cuz I saw a certain someone or maybe its because I love one of the girls I work with. She makes me laugh so much and I know to most of you that's not a hard task to complete but this is full out tummy ache snorty laughing! Yup quality folks, quality.

you know what I love? board games! My sister and I drive everyone crazy with our love of em. I need to find some fellow board game lovers to share in this passion with. Any out there? let me know we need to set up a game night or something. Anyways that's it for me today tada

*swoon*

this song never gets boring every single time I hear it I want to conquer the world and save the whales lol

Hey brother christian with your high and might errand,
Your actions speak so loud, I cant hear a word youre saying.
Hey sister bleeding heart with all of your compassion,
Your labors soothe the hurt but cant assuage temptation.
Hey man of science with your perfect rules of measure,
Can you improve this place with the data that you gather?
Hey mother mercy can your loins bear fruit forever?
Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?
And I want to conquer the world,
Give all the idiots a brand new religion,
Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil,
Promote equality in all my decisions
With a quick wink of the eye
And a god you must be joking!
Hey mr. diplomat with your worldly aspirations,
Did you see the children cry when you left them at the station?
Hey moral soldier youve got righteous proclamation,
And precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations.
And I want to conquer the world,
Give all the idiots a brand new religion,
Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil,
Promote equality in all of my decisions
I want to conquer the world,
Expose the culprits and feed them to the children,
Ill do away with air pollution and then all save the whales,
Well have peace on earth and global communion.
I want to conquer the world!

weighing in at heavy

Today was pretty heavy, I can't even say words for it, other then it was heavy. We had my gramma's memorial today. I wanted to say a story about how we always had rainbows together and how that no matter where we were we always phoned when one of us saw one. She would get so excited about it and run out (or go as fast as she could) to the deck when she lived in this house, to see it for herself. I'll never forget when I was driving home from Calgary I saw a double rainbow as I was nearing Innisfail. I called my gramma and told her and she got so excited and had to hang up the phone so she could see it :) that will always stick in my head. I love her so much, she was simply amazing. I love you gramma very very much. Thankyou for teaching me all you know about cooking, knitting, swing dancing, love, life and how to live life in the moment. I'm a better person for it all.

Also thanks to everyone who called and came and emailed :) without friends and family like you life would be a terrible struggle.

sad

My gramma passed away the other day in the home where she lived with my mom and Darryl. My whole world since then has been turned upside down into a surreal existance that I've been getting through day by day breath by breath since. how does one eat an elephant? one peice at a time tiny bites tiny bites. And that's all we can do at this moment.

My sister was the one who found her Saturday morning. I think it's hit her the hardest just because not only is she realing from the death but the act of finding her was tramatic. but we've all been super suportive and things are getting better.

She's no longer stuck to a cord of oxygen and has no pain in her body. She's with her husband and parents and puppies. She was so funny. She had a great sense of humor and always had great stories of life to tell us. She was the greatest ear to our family, always listening intently to what was happening in our lives good bad beautiful or ugly. She was a rock for us all.

Reminds me of the plaque my great grandmother had in her hall that was purchased from a travelling sales man. "rock of ages cleft for me." We're holding a grave side memorial on Thursday for her. I just wanted to say thankyou to all of you who've fb'd messaged and called and emailed your support. *hugs* it's been all greatly appreciated. I love you gramma.

decisions decisions

Lately I have been up and down with my emotions and I wish I could be stable so I could make the right choices and have a clear head to make thought through decisions on important things that are possibly life changing. It's so frustrating when I can't communicate and the other person doesn't want to because of my inability to communicate when I'm like this. Blah I know I need to get to sleep but how can one sleep with such pressing matters on their head. I think I just need a softer pillow.

what the fluff in pillows is going on?

wow a day off and what to do what to do? I haven't had one of these where I didn't have to get up and do something right away in a long time....so why am I awake at 9am?
