home

well i'm home from Vancouver and chilliwack. in a quick sum up, i ate too much, drank too much, laughed too hard, and got NAILED to the wall with a great amount of love. the conference was great, new things to get you excited, fresh perspective to re-energize old ideas,and fun make up! mike and jen are as fabulous as i always remember them. you guys truly rock my world. seeing you always charges my batteries, and makes my heart ache i can't see you more often. i love you so much. but i also barely slept so i'm half way into a coma. more up dates later.

to the health unit

i'm off to the health unit for naestra's 18 mo. shots. weeee. did ya catch the sarcasm there? i'm not actually worried about naestra or her reaction to the needles. i can pin her down no problem. but i do have to take alairelle along, as you all know, she's a bit of a sensitive spirit. i fear total melt down, and then there goes naestra. oh well, off to stony we go!

so close

the long weekend is here for us albertans. woohoo. but nothing big happening here. now next weekend i'll be in vancouver with 7 other co-workers. oh ya! and i get to visit some beautiful old friends. i'm so excited, and totally lost in the prep work before i go. i just want to wash the stress and prep work off so i can enjoy it. i'm really looking forward to the one hour and a bit flight to just sit with my music and breath. aahhhhhh. beautiful vancouver.

sunshine

i must say it is SO beautiful out today. it's the first winter day that makes you really pine for spring. snows' all wet and melty, perfect snow ball weather. i even have the front door open to let the sunshine in. aaaaahhhhhh. i think i'm gonna take a nap on the couch in the sun. happy day.

to the juno's

so we're off to the juno's in april. seems a long way off, but is not really. on the swing side, i'm off to vancouver next week with all the shop girls. i'm totally pumped, but have way too much of a headache to jump around right now. so we're off the a play at the church. i wish i was in a more social frame of mind. funny how a headache can make you so anti social. happy love day all!

so the plan is

tickets go on sale sat. of the Juno awards being held in calgary. frankie and i are planning to go! woo hoo! a real awards show! so fun

kriiation awards

can i just say that i truly have the greatest support group ever. not only did i get a 30th b-day party but i got my very own awards show. complete with top hats, jewels, red carpet, and awards. SO FREEKING FABULOUS! i was surrounded by friends, family, and celebrity guests( 8 by 10 photos, but it's the thought that counts.thanks for coming Josh, Johnny, and Clinton!). love was poured out on my from across the miles (Rae, you are my rock and my Diva), and from inside the room, though i was also sightly roasted, which really proves the love (my darlings Jim and Frankie). and although i took home the "meanopause is only a step away" award, i will be displaying it proudly next the my pic of my kids at work. a symbol of my proudest acomplishments in life, my beautiful girls right next to the plastic symbol of the love for me of all the people in that room and across the miles. you all rock my world equally as much as i try to outpour love on you and fill your lives with some of the most retarded laughter imaginable. if these 30 years have been the appitizer of my life, i am so looking forward to feasting on the rest of it with you all. HUGE love and a good flashing to you all, i want all the beads!

3 more months of winter

as i sit in the basement huddle in my house coat, i'm thinking living in alberta is CRAZY. it's too figgin cold. i'm coming to join you Rae! though i truly do LOVE having the seasons. it's just the length of the winter, i think if every month had it's equal 4 month run, the cold wouldn't be as much of an issue. but i do LOVE the look of the clean white snow. so beautful, just don't make me go outside in it! ha!

i seem to have a 3yr old kangaroo offering me plastic french fries. he he. i so wanna be my children.

in an effort to stay awake

i was cleaning up the kids toys and putting a purse of alairelle's away, found it stuffed with corn pops cereal. giggle

i don't remember signing up for this

well last night was the first night i ever had to sleep with my kids. i dunno even if sleep counts,laid on the floor of thier room with my eyes half closed, ears very allert to the eminent sound of puke. don't get me wrong, they've puked before, but i had to sleep between them on the floor of thier room, buckts ready to sping in to action all night. i am SO tired. today i wish i was rich with a nanny. just for some sleep.
