Three days till christmas

I have a charlie brown tree...
beneath the charlie brown tree are presents...
What's in them? I do not know....
Suprises waiting to be opened on christmas morning...
Curiousity is on the top of my mind....
what could have been bought....
not to sure what`s under the tree...
It`ll just have to wait a few more days....
curiousity might just get the best of me...

Merry christmas

Today is saturday...so I decided against my better judgement to head to the mall...attempt to do a few last minute christmas shopping purchases...what followed was a half hour drive from one end of the parkinglot to the other end with no available open parking spots whatsoever. I should have known from the traffic entering the parkinglot that a drive through to find a spot was hopeless. I decided against it when i was about midway through the parkinglot. If I wasn't going to find a spot, there was no way I was going to enter into the mall. For the amount of cars parked in the parkinglot, I am sure the mall was jam packed with people with the same intentions as me...finding that last minute present to wrap and put under the tree.

So I decided to go to wal-mart instead....not to christmas shop but to buy a few tags for some presents and to buy a few little ornaments for the charlie brown christmas tree i have set up in my livingroom right now. I told myself the only way that i was going to shop in walmart was if i found a spot near the door...not like i couldn't walk the extra few car lengths to the door but it makes a packed parkinglot seem so much nicer when you can park next to the door of the store. I did two rounds up and down aisles when the perfect spot opened up. I flicked on my blinker signaling that i was going to enter that spot when the car was out....well i had some competition, some sneaky young woman thought she would nudge her car in before me. So I stepped on the gas and steered into the spot only to have the woman honk her horn at me and wave her arms furiously at me....she was pretty upset but she was one isle over when this person started to back out. What gave her the right to attempt to steal my spot? After all I had signaled for about two minutes my intention to get into that spot. Plus i wasn't going to go to wal-mart if i had to park too far away. Just timing, if she had been there first, signaling for the spot i would have just driven on past. But i waited and waited for that person to back out and she sped on up to the spot as if to say it was hers no matter what. I was quite happy with my parkingspot...now i could head into walmart to do some shopping.

Well I found a few little icy snowy looking candy canes for the tree and some sticky tags to put on presents...I also bought a gingerbread house. I was a little hesistant to purchase the gingerbread house because my past experiences with gingerbread have been less then pleasant. I am less than patient with letting the icing settle and harden. I like to get things done and have the gingerbread house looking like the picture on the box...which i am sure is all a scam and those are professionaly decorated by a baker or something....giving us false hope that our creations could look that lovely. My gingerbread house never turns out like the pictures. But i caved in and bought one. Tomorrow we assemble it...last year i had to use the glue gun to keep the house together. I am hoping things will work out better tomorrow and the icing will hold it together....here's to hoping i don't have to use the glue gun...but you never know.

So after the walmart fiasco I decided to stay away from major department stores and chains until the weekdays because people work, so not so many people are out. I have one or two more things to buy but am pretty much ready for christmas...Our stockings are hung and our charlie brown christmas tree looks lovely. I will post some pictures of that at a later date and of our gingerbread house too.

Anyways I am off. Wishing everyone a merry christmas.

December!

Hurry...not too many days yet to complete your christmas shopping. Christmas will be here before your ready and realize it's here. Anyways this year is pretty difficult on the shopping. No one really knows what they want for christmas, me included. Kids are so easy to shop for. It's easy to go buy a transformer or a barbie doll written on a piece of paper addressed to santa clause. Adults are sooo hard to shop for. What would you ask for, for christmas? Not too much time left to get it all done.

Well I think my blog is suffering because nothing very interesting is going on at the moment...so for those of you who still read this, I will update more when I have something interesting to say. I'm going to continue in my thinking for what people want for christmas.

November almost ends...

I cannot believe how quickly this month has flown by. Next tuesday it will in fact be December 1st...how scary is that? We have no snow, but there are plenty of chinooks to go around. The wind here is terrible, it always has been. And in my 28 years of experience with braving the winds, you never ever, ever get use to it. Its a real headache most days.

So I was sitting here staring out at the brown grass and the leafless trees thinking how much prettier everything would be if it were covered in some wonderful snow. Unfortunately all my trees are tiny little shrubs, newborn little baby trees-so my yard won't quite look this good.

Anyways I miss the snow, I would like the snow. It just seems to make everything so much prettier and more wonderful than it actually is.

So unfortunately I am trying to be good and keep updating my blog but it is difficult. Too much going on, but i will try to insert the occassional smart remark or blurb about something. I have a few topics up my sleeve, just need to work on them yet.

Till next time, enjoy this picture of the snow until the real thing actually graces our yards and lets us build snowmen.

November...

Who thought November would come so quickly...but it has.
November is here and it feels like the summer went by so quickly.
Why does it seem time is going by so quickly?
Maybe I'm busier now than before.
2010 is just two months away....will the rest of the year
go by as quickly as November has come?
November...its here, it's going to get cold out.
I wish it was summer again...
I always say that once its cold outside...

August 1st

It's august
where has the
summer gone?

I can't believe summer
is almost
over...

It's august...
I can't believe
it's august
and I really
have nothing
to blog about...

does anyone
read this?
or are we all
on facebook now?

It's May....

Just thought I'd mention it's May and its cold outside...updates to come at a later date when I have something interesting to blog about :)

A snap in time...

Its been quite awhile since I've been on blogging. It just seems like life is too busy sometimes, that there is too much else going on. Life is funny that way, one minute you could be sitting sipping coffee. Then the next minute your running, running, running. So my blog is again neglected for the fifth, sixth or seventh time... But I dont really have much to say right now, or somewhere to draw my inspiration from. So until I find something unique or worthwhile to blog about, my blog might be a little dead...I apologize in advance for that.

Globetrotter

Sorry for my absence from my blog. I was away for a week and a half and previously to my departure I was getting ready to go on my trip. But I am back now and hopefully my blog will stop being so neglected and forgotten. Not much to say right now except I am tired and will be doing loads and loads of laundry. I still haven't unpacked my suitcase, its staring at me waiting for me to open it up and dislodge the contents...if only it were fun to do so.
So anyways keep your eyes open, my blog will be brought back to life again soon. So until then, take care and get some sleep! I know I am going to.

Kristy are you doing okay?

This is a song by the Offspring...its titled appropriately
Kristy are you doing okay?

There’s a moment in time
And it’s stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids
Cause your eyes told the tale
Of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did
Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away
The scenes of our crimes
But for you this never ends
Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won’t bloom
Winter’s kept you
Don’t waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
Though the marks on your dress
Had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should have spoke out
And I’m so sorry now
I didn’t know
Cause we were so young
Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on
Innocence left behind
And it never goes away

Apparently its 2009

I have neglected my blog again...only one person has told me to update the blog for fear he might have to give in and join into the facebook culture. So I am updating it just so that he doesn't have to do that. But unfortunately my blog is less detailed than my facebook account is.

Anyways I cannot believe that January is half over, it seems like christmas came and flew by way to quickly. I spent most of the christmas holidays working, which is not a bad way to spend the holidays. I did have christmas eve, christmas morning off and as well new years day off. So at least i did not totally miss out on the holidays completely.

But it is again back to the grind of my usual routine which involves work, being at home and attending my kiddo's activities. Its busy but it is life. Otherwise not to much else going at present.

Well more to come....this will have to do for now.
