A lot of time has passed

I don’t even know where to begin I haven’t posted anything since 2014 on this particular blog, although I did have a different blog for a while I failed on that one too. I think maybe the best place to start is just from where I’m at now which is a really great place everything is going super. Steve and I are getting along better than we have an a like a decade, the kids are doing amazing, I don’t expect him to school September and 11 with like straight A’s. Dominic planning on becoming an RCMP officer and Victoria has her hopes around becoming an astrophysicist, I really feel like she should do something as a little bit more humanities base because she has a really deep understanding of people that never cease to amaze me. Me, well that’s kind of grown and changed happen for me and last for yourself, I close the shop which was really hard and really sucked and I was so pissed off at everyone in this town for so long. I worked as a bookkeeper for a mechanic for a while and he’s like mentally abusive but I stayed for like three years or something crazy because sometimes he would have a good day and he would be so fun and so just the best boss ever but you know it never really worked out so well I was working there I started working at hospice and trail, as a volunteer coordinator. Well that’s like about 10 block us all in a self but let’s just say I worked there for five years 5 1/2 actually and then last summer I took a leave initially for three weeks and next in three weeks it’ll be a year. It’s pretty much activates my relationship with Jen which I thought was impossibility, but at the same time it’s been really really good for me and Steve and it’s giving me more time to focus on school which is also new to help me. So now the bad stuff, and November 2017 completely unexpectedly, grandpa died. A week later, my dad was diagnosed with stage for pancreatic cancer and he died in January 2018. I don’t really remember any of 2018 or 2919 And I’m pretty sure the only reason I remember anything about 2020 is because of Covid. Covid sucks for a lot of people but for me and give me the opportunity to stay home and do the healing that I needed to do I kind of get my feet back under me, figure out what I wanna do with my next 50 years.


anyway so I signed up for a course that cost 20 bucks to do writing and provides a weekly prompt and I thought what the heck I’m totally doing this I love to write haven’t really done it in years I could post it on my blog. Well it took me like two hours to figure out how to get back on here things have changed a whole lot, since 2014. And like I said I didn’t have another blog for a little while on WordPress but I couldn’t really figure that out it was too complex for me I had a friend who helped me and then she started doing something else it just was too much and it was so beautiful because it was designed by that friend, I felt like every post to be perfect, and that really deterred me fromFrom the writing. So yeah I’m hoping to use my long since exists and I finally managed to get I got it to post my 52 pumps and we’ll see maybe I’ll do some other stuff on there to you I don’t think anybody really knows about it so in theory, all my secrets. My secrets.


for today I think I’ll start with one secret. Last night Steven and I moved the mattress from our bed onto the dining room floor and slept in here because it was way cooler. It’s like a jillion degrees out and it’s unbearable and are on air-conditioned house in our upstairs bedroom. Anyway I had a dream about I don’t really know what the dream was about, but it was featuring this guy that I have a fling with 1 million years ago when I was 19. I’m 48 now so that gives you some contact. Anyway I woke up feeling like I don’t know kind of weird like I’ve been thinking about him all day and talking about Facebook even though we’re not Facebook friends because I just can’t bring myself to go there maybe if I were one of these 48-year-old woman who looked like 1 million bucks but I’m not I have a man mom bun and a mom ass OK, so yeah. So just talking him on Facebook and trying to figure out what the hell it was it was making me feel so melancholy I realize it’s sleeping on the floor. He’s the only guy that I was ever with then I slept on the mattress on the floor with. I know that’s weird, but I just went out on my own and I haven’t bought a bed yet. So yeah I think that’s what made me dream about and it wasn’t anything specifically don’t even remember the dream I just wake up with him in my brain so anyway the secret I was really mean really really need them. And I’ve always regretted it because I really think that we could’ve had some thing I just wasn’t ready, wasn’t the right time. I just got out of a really bad three-year relationship and I need some time to spread my wings and know who I was before I settle down and any sort of relationship. By the time I was ready that’s cause I’m a such a horrible bitch to him and I always always felt bad about that.Yeah I don’t really know what else to say about that, he has white hair now but it’s away. He still has his temple style and that’s one of things I loved about him. I hope his wife appreciates him but, how to talk to the guy in 30 years maybe is raging asshole who knows anyway I will be back with my daily zoom prompt sometime in the not too distant future this is good I can totally get on board with talking to text get all my post done that I have to edit it may be on some kind of a pretty picture.

BIG Changes

The last few weeks have brought about some really fabulous things.

I started doing some bookkeeping from home.  Not the creative niche I love but it brings in some bucks!

Some friends of mine (please read that in Robert DeNiro's voice) and I have gotten together to start something great.  We will be teaching classes, putting together an amazing newsletter, blogging, hosting creative events, and a whole lotta of other great and wonderful things. Stay tuned for Creative West!  I will post the link for you when I have one.

I will be switching my Blog over to WordPress.  It's nothing personal Blogger, you were good to me.  I just need to spread my wings a little bit further... and besides that, my friend Krista at Everyday Miija is part of this amazing and talented group and is working on mastering WordPress skills so I get to be her Guinea Pig! I am very excited!

So, this might be my last post here.  You can still find me - only a better me, with more of what I actually do and less of my rambling and complaining - at the new Everybody Needs a Little Sugar!

How I Know My Husband Secretly Hates Me (or at least wants to make me so crazy I will be committed)

Last one out makes it - right? Apparently not in my house. ;(

Enough said?

(and yes we sleep in a double bed with a cat and sometimes a certain, soon to be 9 year old girl.  I like it cozy!)

Waste Time Laughing

{via}
Stumbled upon this little site today (thank you Facebook, the second biggest time waster, right behind Pinterest, ever created!)

Wasted about 10 minutes and then thought of you!

Etsy Again

Well. I did it.

I got one lonely little owl listed on my Etsy page.

It looks like a mug shot but it will do for now.

I have decided I am going to try next time with a little staging - like I did in the past.

What I really need is for the snow to melt and the sunshine to dry off the grass so I can take pictures of them in their natural environment.  ;)

Outdoor always seems to work better for me even though I have so much admiration for the many skilled photographers on Etsy that take fabulous photos I need all the help I can get and the outdoor light is a really big help!

Have a wonderful Sunday ~

Lion to Lamb




Two posts in one day. No wonder it is still snowing!

Literally, snowing right now.  I read that Vancouver has a snow fall warning in effect so we will be getting more for sure.  We usually get their weather the next day.  Anyway....

In like a lion out like a lamb, right?

Today Penelope is in the worst mood of her almost nine years.
She just cannot seem to keep it together. Scowling and crying for little to no reason. Unlike her and I am not loving it.

The Little Man had a talking to by the police.  Yep.
Nothing serious - just boy stuff.  I was surprised.  I thought he knew better. He was very remorseful. Even said he was ashamed.  That is NOT like him.  He is usually very self righteous.  Fight to the death for his honour, that sort of thing.

The worst part of today.
A dear friend of mine lost his battle with cancer. He was a devote man and I like to think he is in a better place. He believed that he would be. He was kind and funny and liked by all who knew him. He will be missed.

Very much looking forward to the last half of this unpredictable month.

Time Wasters, Waste Time

Just like everyone else - and maybe even a little more, as I am... squirrel... - I have a tendency to follow Alice down the rabbit hole, so to speak and follow link after link after link wasting copious amounts of my precious time online.

I just suddenly thought to myself that I should share some of the funny, interesting, useless things I find so that you can waste you time too!

Today I bring you the left brain, right brain test!

I got 72% right brained and what seemed like a stern warning that I need to learn to use the left side of my brain a little more!  Pfft.  Not gonna happen.

Enjoy! :)
