It's Possible

2007-08-03T13:34:00.001-05:00

Today is my lasy day of work before maternity leave.

Although I was so ready for today, now I feel anxious.

I guess this baby is really coming now isn't it ?

Well it's that time......

2007-07-18T13:07:00.000-05:00

I survived Folk Fest.
I survived 46 C (with the humidity) and even walked around in Handmade Village on the Saturday. I purchased some hippy baby wear. I laid in Shady Grove and enjoyed an entire Workshop until dinner time. I spent the entire Saturday night on a tarp and only left to pee. It was fantastic. I owe it all to my assistants though. Without them I would probably still be under a picnic table in Birds Hill Park, crying. I was a calm cucumber and it was awesome. The weekend, of course, flew by and only felt like 1 long day but that's usual.

Now that it's over (The day after Folk Fest is much like my New Year's Day) I am now preparing and celebrating my impending maternity leave ! I don't think you all are ready for all this belly ! It's getting heavier by the day and I am certain I made the right choice by leaving a month early. It'll be nice to have a month to myself and calmly prepare for this baby's arrival. Prepare for this baby and prepare to go see Justin Timberlake on August 25th....oh boy....should be interesting :)

1 step forward, 10 steps back

Baby Furniture including mattress and bedding has been picked out and paid for.
However, upon starting demolition work on the baby's room, we discovered mold behind the drywall and I have been informed that half my house needs to be ripped apart.
AWESOME ! Excuse me people, I have many trees in my backyard but none of them are money trees. So now the decision is to either rip apart the old part of the house and have me and all things baby, move out to the inlaws until completion. OR do one room at a time, whilst carefully sealing off the room.

I'm wondering why everything has to be so damn difficult for us.

I did fall off the earth but somehow I crawled back

2007-05-30T13:05:00.000-05:00

I got a tongue lashing this morning from Van-Nasty saying that I don't update this blog anymore.
She's entirely right, I should be updating this blog, especially now that I am "with child" as a journal of sorts. However between my anxiety over this pregnancy, my head constantly in a toilet or generally feeling miserable I haven't really felt like pouring any kind of wordage into this blog.
But I am here now, and I might as well say something useful right?

I am currently 24 weeks pregnant. I tried to take a belly shot using my camera phone but you couldn't make out what any of them where, so I will have to get my husband to take some shots for me (although asking him to take belly shots of me somehow makes him think he has full permission to take uncompromising shots at all times. We might have to go over the rules again.)
Anyhow, I am definitely showing and this belly is has a mind of it's own. On May 22nd, I saw little Juniper move for the first time from the outside and Dan was able to feel it for the first time too. I thought at first I would be completely freaked out about it, but when it actually happened I was so excited that Dan could finally share in this with me, I forgot all about freaking out. I have another doctor's
appointment next Wednesday and we should be finding out the results from the Ultra- Sound we had on April 30th. I haven't been to my doctor in about 2 months so it will be interesting what he has to tell me.
At home Dan is currently renovating the spare room which will become Juniper's room. The house is old and we noticed mold on the outside walls from the inside. Dan ripped out all the drywall yesterday and exposed some very old wood and some even older insulation that was the main reason for our problems. Now it's looking like we will have to rip apart our bedroom as well so my life as I know it will become chaotic for the next few weeks. I hate construction. I hate things not being where they belong. I am tempted to move to my parents for a few weeks(that would probably be the healthiest thing too, since who knows what is floating around in the air right now).
We have also picked out the furniture (crib, change table, dresser)so it will start to get very exciting when we order and get that stuff. I have now started to buy a few things here and there. We went to the second hand baby store on Friday and I purchased 10 one-sies for $20 plus a Winnie-The-Pooh sunhat for Dan's niece who's 3 months old. We also bought our first pack of diapers. We are such nerds. It's funny that all the things I said I was going to do if I ever got pregnant, I haven't done yet. I never kept a diary, I haven't taken any belly shots. I have been trying to eat well, but cheating on a few things like Diet Dr. Pepper and the occasional decaf-mocha from Tim Hortons. I thought I would buy the funkiest furniture for the baby's room and the coolest maternity clothes, and I haven't accomplished anything.Who was I trying to kid? Hopefully I will get a burst of energy when I enter my third trimester. Oh but I did start a baby registry at Baby's R-Us so that's something. Even though I only have 15 items on the list and some are entirely frivolous.

On another non-pregnancy note, Folk Fest is coming up soon. It's my second year as coordinator and although I will be taking it easy the weekend of the festival, I have been busy with all the preparations and meetings that come before it. Our first crew meeting is this Tuesday and I really hope to get motivated soon. It's coming up way faster than I anticipated (much like this pregnancy has) this year has flown by so far. I am really excited to have time this festival to see people like Vaness and Heather (who I have only known on an internet basis only). I intend to spend a lot of time on the Transportation Tarp filling myself full of yummy smoothies, and my favorite lemonade. Do they have pregnant girl port-a-potties at the festival??? If they don't, I think I am going to have to make a request.

ps. I am fully and completely addicted to facebook.

"Suddenly everything is fainting
Falling from a broken ladder's rung
There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding
I hear the words of what I'll become

How eager the hands that reach for love

'Cause now there's a new life to behold
And its the biggest part of my life to unfold

'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
And a faithful father I am to be
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
Will it bring new life into me?

Deep inside must defy arrangement
I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now
And I'll always try to justify the way I've been behaving
Should I teach one not to know how?
How to live in a world we live in now

'Cause there's a beautiful life to behold
And its the biggest part of my life to unfold

'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
And a father figure I am to be
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
Will it bring new life into me?

Oh please
Oh please
Oh please

Bring new life
Bring new life
Bring new life into me"

Attempt at an update

2007-01-30T12:28:00.000-06:00

It's been so long since I have posted anything here. I don't even know where to being.
It's kind of pathetic that it's been so long yet, I am trying to think about what I have been doing all this time and the answer is: absolutely nothing. There has been a whole lot of staying home and trying to keep warm. Chopping of wood and building fires. Our family had an another attempt at a Christmas dinner and failed miserably, although we had 3 Christmas dinners with 3 different family's this year and I was sick all through Christmas with my family, and into the new year. I've been trying to eat more healthy and fill my diet with words like "multi-grain" "no sugar" and recently cut out pop, chocolate and sugar with much success.
I've seen my beautifully pregnant Sister-in-law (who is due in March with my very first authentic niece or nephew), Jasmine and Spencer (they grow up too fast) Virginia and her family. Met William's new pride and joy; Emma who was born early December. Spent quite a bit of time with the family and Brittany. Celebrated my father's birthday and Danny's birthday. Packed up Danny and sent him off to work in Ontario twice. He's working in Timmins right now. So I am at home with the dogs in enduring snowy nights of Manitoba weather and patiently waiting for Spring and my garden full of Tulips to come out.

Burning Ring of Fire

2006-11-16T16:07:00.000-06:00

So my town is burning down. Well not completely. There is a major forest/swamp fire around the outskirts of Ross, which I can see from my kitchen window example A:
It started sometime on Tuesday and was still burning this morning when I left for work. The sky over Ross is now a bright glowing orange haze however no one in this goddamn city (Winnipeg) gives a shit. Everyone is Grey Cup Ga-Ga and couldn't give two shits about us. Nothing on the news, no mention on the radio, nothing. There are ambulances posted on a couple roads in the town where the fire is nearing the roads and houses waiting to evacuate people but who cares !
Let's care about the stupid football game that our own team was too crappy to play in !

Let Ross burn so long as we have our Nelly Furtado half time show.

here's a few more pictures to further my cause.

"Ho, Ho, Ho, not a merry christmas"

2006-11-09T10:30:00.000-06:00

Well halloween is over. I sat in the dark and watched "What ever happened to Baby Jane" by myself ate a crappy dinner and didn't hand out candy for the first time. With the recent snowfall there were only 3 kids wandering the 2 streets in Ross, it just wasn't worth buying candy. Plus there would be leftovers that I would be forced to eat, just so, you know, they wouldn't go bad cause candy can do that you know.

So now that Halloween is over we transition over to the start of the Christmas season. It's now time for Mindy to bring on more stress to her life by handmaking all of her gifts, planning a small but lavish christmas party, spending entirely too much on other gifts for immediate family and especially that spoiled husband of hers. Baking an entire arsenal of cookies, bars, squares, snowballs, rum balls which we will only eat about 8% of and the rest will sit in the freezer until the drunk snowmobilers or stoned quaders show up unexpectedly and I have nothing to feed them but half frozen christmas baking.
It's my favourite time of the year but I just can't help but wonder how it will all come together if Dan is in Timmins until December 22nd. It just won't be as much fun by myself.

Thought of you dear...

2006-11-09T10:20:00.000-06:00

This was on T.V last night and I instantly thought of Vanessa and the time she worked on this movie and our little group was so proud of her, and knew she was well on her way.

And now in the category of worst argument ever and another example of pure 'Toban stupidity... check out this article.

If you don't like the strippers, then don't go.
They aren't stripping on the street, they aren't luring in underage kids, and they aren't posting advertisment with any kind of nudity.
Let us have our strippers and keep your bible-thumping-french-canadian mouths shut.

Fuck you Ste. Anne, seriously.
You aren't changing my shiteous opinion of you very well.

And on it will be me, yeah

I'm off to Montreal next week for business/blowing it out huge. Last year it was T.Dot for the U2 concert, this year it's Montreal for a Ottawa/Canadiens game and some conferences. See how blown out I was last year?

I might need a liver transplant on Tuesday, but my husband might also need one cause he's going to be home alone (shudder).

Lack of posts
lack of inspiration
lack of anything good
lack of anything creative

husband away
lonely nights
full of tv
and obsessive
cleaning

looking for a little spark
to ignite my soul
something to keep it stoked
something to keep it warm

this happiness
seemed bottled
and on the top shelf
too far away
and afraid to reach

putting on a face
for him when he returns
keep this home perfect
so seemingly perfect

"You said I'm wise, but I'm not so sure
Maybe my lies were just that good
And my lonely tears wish never to be
Puddled on the floor with just them and me
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
There's truth in these eyes, you can rest assured
Salvaged by voices that have no words
Running with fear left ruin in its wake
Is the measure of a man how much love he can fake?
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
Oh, time, it is so hard
With all your fears and your running around
We sadly burn down what we had
It happens so long
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing"

heavy with sadness
and he doesn't

stands by helpless

holds my hand
saying I love you, I love you
trying to mend
my hurting heart
for something
I cannot complete

I feel guilty
and so imperfect
knowing he didn't
sign up for this
that maybe I misled
I try too hard to
be positive
and end up
glued to the bed
unable
so unable

maybe it will happen
maybe it will not
I just hope
we can find a peace
within us
to mend our hurting hearts
and lift this
heaviness from me

Last night I talked on the phone with Krista for almost 2 hours. We don't talk as often as most best friends do, but when we talk we "TALK". I've been feeling very "friend-less" lately and she came through huge for me (again). Sometimes I feel very taken for granted by some of my friends like "oh good ol'Mindy treat her like crap, she keeps coming back". Krista takes that feeling away.

She's all moved in to her new place in the RH so we are going to hang out more, and by "hang out" I mean do nothing. Watch movies, spa nights, drink coffee and chill out. I really miss doing that.

I wish some other people could be the same kind of friend to me like she is.

Too busy

too busy to see
those who bring joy
who comfort
who bring smiles

Too busy to go outside
to lay in the grass
it's all about impressing
and keeping up
with the Joneses

Too busy to have fun
to enjoy it all
I'm busy being busy
but I don't know what for
It's all about rushing
home to finish nothing

I wonder what age
will bring completeness
Will I ever feel full
Will I learn to want less
and not take for granted
all these things

I am looking for the simple life
but wonder how long it will take
to arrive

Happy Belated Cardboard Anniversary Baby, I love you !

"why don't you talk about it
I know there's something on your mind
will you go on and get a cigarette,
I�ll be waiting outside
the last few years have been much harder
than we ever thought they'd be
I know you hate it when I say I'm sorry
but I'm sorry

there was never a point in our love
that I didn't love you
not a point in our love
I always did, I always will, I always do love you still
I always would, how could I not hide, just look at us baby
we're kind of perfect

well sometimes I get all wrapped up
cause I don't know who to be
but you know when to be my security blanket, and when to uncover me
so let's just sit out on the back porch
and unravel everything
someday these will be our old days, let's make them worth our memory

there was never a point in our love
that I didn't love you
not a point in our love
I always did, I always will, I always do love you still
I always would, how could I not hide, just look at us baby
we're kind of perfect

never planned on loving somebody so much
but I've always had pretty good luck baby

I always did, I always will, I always do love you still
I always would, how could I not hide, just look at us baby
we're kind of perfect

we're kind of perfect
we're kind of perfect, baby
we're kind of perfect, baby
we're kind of perfect, baby"

Mindy is bachlorette-ing it up this weekend whilst Danny-Boy is going to a buddy's cabin with all his crazy-assed friends.

This weekend shall consist of $30 worth of Blockbuster rentals and 5lbs of chocolate.
and some Kraft Dinner because there's calcium in that right?

Wish me luck !

oh and wish my ovaries luck too, they need it.

Well I made it, I'm 27.

The party was awesome, like way too awesome. I kind of felt like crying through most of it cause it was just way more than I expected. The people, the gifts, the food, the sappy cards (thanks Dad). Was more than plenty, it was unbelieveable. It was pretty nuts, but a good kind of nuts. Jasmine brought over Spencer and he made my whole night. He's so cute, as if he wouldn't have totally made your birthday?

In 6 days I turn 27.
For the first time in my life, I am freaked about getting older.
Partly due to what is going on in my life (no kids, infertility) partly because of my job situation (still not sure if I can do this for the next 40 years) and partly because of my relationship with Danny (Will I have to ask him for the next 60 years to clean up after himself?)I get sad when I think about everything I haven't accomplished. I get even more sad when I look at other people my age and what they have accomplished, the places they've been and seen. I have lots to be thankful for, but I guess I am just wanting more for myself. I look back and everything I have gone through (somethings self-induced, some not) and I wonder how I made it this far. I guess we have to make some time for things and stop waiting for everything to happen on it's own.
I am hoping for very good things in the next 27.

Now bring me some cake !

Lukas Rossi is more Marilyn Manson than Hawksley Workman..."startling resemblance" I think not. Maybe a cracked out second-cousin resemblance but I think they look nothing alike. Look for yourself.

When I was in elementary school and the temperatures were much like they have been the last few weeks (+30C), our teachers would pack us all up (chairs and all) and move us all outside and teach us. It was awesome but I thought every school did the same thing. Apparently not.

I wish my boss would do the same thing. This gal needs some sunshine :)

I went to Folk Fest
I volunteered
I Coordinated a Volunteer-Crew for the first time
I saw very little music
I met a lot of cool people
I had fun
I was psycho-stressed for 60% of the weekened
I was 40% relaxed and enjoying it
I am still exhausted
I have the hugest crush on Mr. Workman
I bought a new camera
I posted my pictures I took with it on my flickr

"Tread neat so small those little feet
Amid the morning his small heart beats
So much excitement yesterday
That must be rewarded must be displayed"

Repave

2006-06-27T14:09:00.000-05:00

and how have i become the
rough cobblestone beneath your feet
scraped and abused
yet forgiven
and repaved at the next second
i’ve become the reliable one
the one you can count on
but when have i been able to count
on you?

been on my own without the comforting
word of a friend for too long
only brief little coffees to try to
reel us back from the brink
but some how i think we are too
far beyond the edge
i’ve always held on,
but will you hold on?

spit out your abuse
you know i won’t return it
you know i will stay the same
quiet and broken
at home alone
it’s always his and never my own
impairing the image of myself
that i see everyday
that the person i once was
has now sunk into the
earth of my marriage
consuming and completely
till there is nothing left
of me

Dear Mr. President.......

2006-06-22T08:55:00.000-05:00

sorry for the lack of posts .....

got back from holidays and have not felt well since. I am over stressed and today is not much better. I hear this morning that one of my mom's close friends had had a son injured seriously in Kandahar. He lost both his legs (but thankfully not his life) in a roadside explosion. 5 others were injured.

I hate this war. I hate that we are even participating in this illegal war.
I feel sick right now.
How many more have to die or have life altering injuries before this has to stop.

oh yeah and there was a murder(?) down the street from my parents last night.
Any one have a valium prescription they want to share?

Hourayyyy!!!

2006-06-19T11:21:00.000-05:00

"On the same web forum, it was suggested that Nouvel may be Brad Pitt's tribute to French architect Jean Nouvel, which solves, or at least skirts, the grammatical issue. In any case, names needn't conform to foreign orthographic strictures. Brad and Angelina can call their baby whatever they want, although if they'd chosen France Fat Racist Whore of Nation States Jolie-Pitt, they might have had a little difficulty checking into the Ritz. How would you translate that, just out of interest?"

Please know that I am happy for you
and wish you all my best
but that I hide away at home
with my sickness and jealously
in guard of my heart
in protection of my good humor
in dealing
and maintenance of my already
hurt feelings
for something I can’t have
right now
or at all

Suffering from Kitchen Sink

2006-05-25T13:02:00.000-05:00

After almost having a complete breakdown in the copy department today at work, (after picking up the 100th copy paper ream packaging just causally left on the table, knowing fully well that I would come and clean up after them) I booked a week of holidays.

I didn't care when they would be, didn't care if I was going anywhere but I had to book them.

When a copy paper ream packaging makes the tears well up, it's time to go.

On a further note, I read an article on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (which I have) today that was scary/amusing. My favorite part is the "classic symptoms" which all but include the kitchen sink.
They are as follows:

drastic weight gain, hair loss, depression, fatigue, thyroid problems, high cholesterol, panic attacks, headaches, dizzy spells, poor memory or muddled mind, sleeping disorders, constant thirst, extreme cravings, insulin resistance, cystic acne, cystic ovaries, menstrual cycles without ovulation, irregular cycles, severe mood swings, high testosterone levels, infertility problems, excess facial and body hair, not to mention a seven times greater risk than an average woman for four major health concerns affecting women in the United States today including heart disease, diabetes, endometrial cancer and stroke.

And all this time I thought I was a hypochondriac !!!

Listening:

2006-05-24T09:40:00.000-05:00

"Why do you even say that, say we'll meet somewhere?
You hardly ever show up, you don't really care.
So why do you even say that, say you got time for me?
You talk but you don't walk, busy as a bee.
I don't think you're all that happy, honey baby, with your thing,
But I ain't some fish you caught, can't keep me on a string.
You say you really love me, then you're gone in seconds flat,
Say you really want me, why do you even say that?
Why do you even say that? Why do you even say that?"

It's the end of the world as we know it.....

2006-05-19T09:30:00.000-05:00

I hate you Mischa Barton.

You've ruined my "OC and Thursday Anola Stripper Night" for the rest of my life.

Evil Evil Mischa Barton......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Not so secretive crushes.....

2006-05-18T10:41:00.000-05:00

Call me hormonal (I blame it on the drugs) however the following dudes have turned my crank (and some harder than others) in the last few weeks:

Patrick Dempsey (AKA: Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy) Maybe cause he's hot, maybe cause he's generally an asshole, or cause he's a married guy, I'm not sure. But he's all that and a bag of skittles. He's a new addition to "the list".

Taylor Hicks from American Idol: He can sing, He's funny and has this endearing Dave Matthews/Steve Winwood thing. I'm lame but I can fully admit it.

Xavier Rudd. He's hot, he plays instruments, always generally barefoot and is a super nice guy. Too bad his freaking show here is sold out...WHAAAAAAAAAA

Time for a cold shower.....

ps: My husband is fully aware and these crushes are fully within our "agreement" besides, he wants to keep Katharine McPhee from American Idol in our garage as a pet.
Wait.....does that sound creepy? Cause I think she's hot too.
I've said too much.

"We'll all stay skinny cause we just don't eat..."

2006-05-17T09:31:00.000-05:00

Haven't felt much like blogging lately.
Missed work Monday cause I had such a horrible stomach ache Sunday and felt like I had been run over by a bus repeatedly on Monday. Now today, I am blessed with not only super-inhuman indigestion but super-double-ungodly cramps.

I don't know how you normal girls do this every month.

I HATE BEING A GIRL.

Why I love Kenny.

2006-05-12T10:42:00.000-05:00

Email Received from Kenny (still in Thailand till tonight)

"Hey girl, so what you got going on tomorrow? Having some beers at my place
around 8:30. Are you going quading tomorrow you skank? "

Danny and I are planning a quick Saturday trip to the Whiteshell this weekend.
Which is a welcome relief from my cabin fever, his hatred of the city and a slight bit of depression I am trying to manage. (It’s hard to like a body that doesn’t work like it should.) Hopefully the rain will hold out or not drown us when we are there. We are planning on having lunch out there and walk a few trails and gather some rocks for our garden. We are in such need of this trip. All the medications, appointments, meetings, illness and constant fighting make it hard to remember the good things and why we are together. Things become habitual, and stale and I know what that leads to. So wish me good weather and good luck.
I’m excited; it’s almost like an anniversary (but I wouldn’t know cause I never got one :)

“So that's why I never come back here
That's why they spit out my name
Your ex's have clawed up the bible
Trying to keep me away
With the sledge of tectonic fever
The needle has landed again
Let it play”

Song of "my" day

"Badass" by Kacy Crowley

"I was the runt of the litter
I was a weakling
I was the last to discover
I was the ugly duckling

We're all the same on the inside
but we're always up against everybody's outside
And its hard to live up to a strangers beautiful
Some people always finish last
Still I ended up a Badass"

You know it's a good day when:

2006-05-05T09:17:00.000-05:00

-You get into a fight with a cab driver who thought that you shouldn't have blocked his way and get out and starts yelling at you. Then you refuse to roll down your window and give him the peace sign and tell him to "chill" all cause you didn't feel like backing up and letting him through. I am mean like that sometimes.

-We get ice cream at work today

-It's Cinco de Mayo

-It's International No Pants Day

Don't catch a chill folks!!!

Warming sun
in market square
wander aimless
and with content
and rememberance
of being young
and full of
anthusiasm and confidence
free flowing music
all around me
and Moses Mayes
on stage
his hand in mine
squeezing with
eager anticipation
of what was to come
I couldn't know
this would
be the last
and the changes
that would blow in
and around us

1 Year of blogging

2006-04-28T10:58:00.000-05:00

It occurred to me this morning that it has been 1 year exactly since I started blogging.
Although I am not the witty, hip, trendy blogger I aspired to be, I am finding it easier to express myself through my writing, photography and poetry. Although I am still a long way off from this
I am still exploring ways to connect with people and use this blog as a therapeutic tool for myself. I am still not sure how to classify this blog, I call it a "personal blog" and when I write I generally use it as a journal to remember the smaller details of my life and my marriage that may be overlooked. I probably break all the "blogger etiquette" rules and have very few readers, (not some how related to me)but I still enjoy it the same, if not more as I did when I started.

My current blogger idols (as horribly cheesy as it sounds) or people who have or continue to inspire me:

-Vanessa a.k.a Van-Nasty : It never occurred to me that people and friends I knew had blogs or what they used them for. Vaness introduced me to blogging and has always encouraged my sorry ass.

-Heather a.k.a Explosive Laughter: This girl oozes talent. Her photography is awesome and she is very inter-web intelligent. Is she can teach me, that says something. And she had a photo-session in a bathtub. A girl after my very own heart.

-Heather Armstrong a.k.a Dooce : So incredibly gifted and talented. I would kill for her writing style and photography skills and her gorgeous babe Leta

My interest in blogging has evolved into a new greater interest in photography and a new and fresh interest in creative writing which began hibernation when I moved out of my parents house. Hooray for creativity !!!
Here's to many more years of blogging and airing dirty laundry on the internet. :)

Good Things

2006-04-28T09:25:00.000-05:00

-Large Mochas from Tim Horton's

-My husbands good humour in the morning
-My interest in hockey coming back
-Excited about planting flowers and vegetables this weekend
-Spring Cleaning
-"Hold On, Hold On" from Neko Case

It's friday ...... houray!!

Binding Ties

2006-04-24T14:06:00.000-05:00

you feel the need to
constantly put him down
and bring up the past
and pass it around
like a virus
not one visit
without a mention
of a binge
or destruction
or items stolen
or destroyed
not willing
to move on
and let sleeping
dogs
sleep
and not rise them

this soured relationship
strained with your
stubbornness
makes me wonder
what could be
and what could have been
and crave something
so different from what is

a family of many
all with this bitter pill
and he is so numb
but I am not
and refuse to be

if you all only knew
that I was the lucky one
maybe I should make it a point
of reminding you all
of the truth
that he came in time to save me
that he is happiness and joy
and truth and light
that shines on me everyday
that his past is far gone
just like mine

Dear God,

My life rules right now. I am happy and have a great husband a nice house and everything is great. However, if you really want to knock my socks off you could help me in the following departments:

-bring me a baby {preferably via the ("the" as in "mine") womb}
-bring me a 20' iMac
-bring me a Nikon D70

I promise I will be polite and very nice. For real this time I swear. Even at you-know-who's social this weekend, where I know it will almost kill me.

Your Friend,

Minndola

Tough Love

2006-04-20T10:05:00.000-05:00

When something you love
gives you a stomach ache
and makes you feel like
if you could just cry about it
you would feel better and get
on and move on

do you still love it?

Me likey free music !!

How can people not know what beauty this is
I've taken it for granted my whole life
Since the day I was born"

Check out this great site to get a free Neko Case/Martha Wainwright concert. I downloaded it as a prelude to my first Neko Case experience in July.
Many peed pants to be expected.

Dear Lurkers,

2006-04-11T16:26:00.000-05:00

I never understood the bitterness towards lurkers by other bloggers but when you blog for a year and get 5 comments ( thanks Vaness, thanks Heather) you have to ask yourself one thing.

Where are the ever-loving comments?????

For the first 5 comments you will recieve a copy of the boob shot that is floating around telus' text messaging system at this very moment. Which may or not be of my own boobs. Drunken boobs. Too many "dirty hooker boobs". Boobs that Marcel has probably shown to every god forsaken Fireman in the City of Winnipeg.

Once again prooving: camera's and alcohol don't mix.

thanks lurking lurkers

MJ.

Apparently there is one other person in the world that thinks Champagne Colored Bridesmaid Dresses are perfectly acceptable and quite stunning.

Life ain't very easy, when you've got a permanent broken heart

2006-04-07T11:45:00.000-05:00

Weekly recap, (who ever thought my life would be so busy!!!)

- Finished living room (pics coming soon)
- Spent 10 hrs at the hospital with my dad on tuesday. He went in with a suspected heart attack. He was in agony, and I was completely panicked (the last time I was in the hospital was with my dying grandmothers) He's at home now but it was a scary couple of days. Another reason for my hysteria was that my Uncle Billy went to St. Boniface Hospital a day earlier for more test on his heart and a stress test for his angina. I thought we'd earned a 2-for-1 special. However, they did not agree.
-Started (finally!!) on the fertility drugs. Please cross your finger and toes (and what ever other body parts you can cross) for Dan and I over then next few weeks.
-Taking my favourite niece and nephew out for supper tonight. I'll Flickr the cuteness from the restaurant.
- I start Guitar Lessons on Tuesday. I am so excited, just may pee my pants, for real this time. Hopefully I can learn a chord before folk fest.

Quoting

2006-04-03T13:29:00.000-05:00

"I had one friend in high school recently he hung himself with string
His note said
'If livin' is the problem, well that's just baffling.'
And at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love
And I barely recognized her, but I knew exactly what she was thinking of
We sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss
And I remembered why I loved her, and I asked her why I drove her off
She said
The slow fade of love
Its soft edge might cut you
And our poor friend, Jim
Well he just lived within
The slow fade of love"

Proof in Pictures

2006-03-31T10:32:00.000-06:00

hey check out my new pics on flickr.

Proof again that alcohol and camera's should never mix. At least when I am around.

Blankets lie so still

2006-03-28T10:51:00.000-06:00

a part of growing up i guess
people and friends
packing up and moving along
lost touch
even though we were close
and bugged each other
all the time back then

you left us now
and i feel guilty for
yours and everyone else's
abandoned friendship
caused by me
and such laziness
maybe if we kept it up
you wouldn't have left us

i can't imagine what was so
bad that you were left with
this as your only choice
such desperation
i feel bad you had no one
to confide in

and i worry now
about everyone that
was important in my life
at one time
whether a minute or a year
i never want them to
feel so alone

i'm sorry derek that i never
stuck around
i'm sorry
that there was no one to stop you
i'm sorry

Porn when I'm tired of sleeping....Porn, Porn, Porn, Porn

2006-03-24T15:22:00.000-06:00

Nothing better on a thursday night than cereal for supper
sanding poly-filla on the walls and watching the O.C

Which by the way was fan-friggin-tastic, and very much better than porn at the moment.

I think Marissa and I were seperated at birth, minus the face that I am 5 years older, 100 lbs heavier and I have no fashion sense.

But the alchohol consumption and poor judgement with regards to boys is dead on !

(present husband company excluded of course)

In Memory.....

2006-03-22T14:01:00.000-06:00

In memory of my Folk Fest Crew's favourite bus driver and mine.

Rest in Peace Tony, we'll miss ya.

Good Point

"From the well of their hearts spring the poison
That mixed with suspicion and reckless derision
And something they read on a church toilet stall
They think that their lives are much better
Than mine on the soapbox and ladders stand tall"

Blood Pressure 270 over 900

2006-03-22T10:17:00.000-06:00

So stressed....

Before Saturday I have to plaster repair my entire living room, sand and primer.

I haven't had a good, full 8 hr night sleep in almost 2 weeks.

Almost got in an accident twice this morning.

Dan still isn't home and it's making me crazy. I have a really bad habit of thinking about things too much. Which would be expected since I have a 2-40 minute commutes per day and an evening in a house all by myself every night. It's not that I am scared to be home alone, but it is very unnerving sometimes.

Oh and the Season Premiere of Dog the Bounty Hunter was on last night and I missed it.

Son-of-a ......

Dear Drunk Guy,

2006-03-20T14:05:00.000-06:00

Who was at the Oakbank Bar on Friday night. Although I was flattered you thought I was so attractive, I didn't appreciate the fact you spilled beer on my purse and jacket and kept touching my cheeks. Didn't you learn about personal space back when you were in school in 1902? Your acapella version of "Hollaback Girl" and "500 Miles" were very amusing, but not enough to make me follow you with my friend Heather back to your place for a party, although thanks for the offer. Oh and by the way, I phoned my husband and told him what you asked me to tell him, and he says "that he knows how lucky he is"
and Heather thanks you for saying that she was "reasonably attractive and has shitload lot of baggage" Your wife must be a very lucky woman.

Yours Sincerely,

The Girl with the Cheeks.

Black and Blue

I bit the bullet and went for my second "traditional" massage yesterday after work.
Although it felt good at the time, and not any where near as awkward and self-conscious as I anticipated, at this moment, I feel as though I was beaten to a vicious bloody pulp the night previous. My pecs and shoulder blades are tender in a way that is not normal, even in painful sort of way. I move and I creak and crack. I straighten up in my chair and creak and groan and crack. She warned me, but I didn't believe her.
My only advice is to definitley take a trip to "Pee-Town" before the session next time (dummy!) Holding it in for an hour whilst being kneaded to a doughy blob is not healthy or smart (according to Kramer)

I get more redneck by the minute I swear.

Ohhhh St. Patty

"Well all week long I'm a real nobody,
But I just punched out and it's paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
I'm going to get drunk and be somebody"

My Secret

2006-03-14T09:53:00.000-06:00

is that i have had a 10 year long relationship with a woman
not without some bumps along the way
but yet with beautiful moments
like that time at Folk Fest, with the moths swarming
and I was beside the stage and beside myself with happiness.

this relationship started with a crush on a boy
the first boy i ever slept with in a bed with overnight
our toes barely touching
listening to joyful girl
and i could barely breathe

slowly but carefully i bought everything she had created
and loved them like children
but the discs overplayed
and the boots came from across country
with love from others who loved her too

she was the reason i applied to volunteer at Folk Fest
i had no money to buy a ticket
and this would be the first time i saw her in life
and i fell in love all over again
like i had never before

10 years
with ups and downs
those years when you weren't alone
and i would have rather to have you
all to myself

10 years,
3 concerts
17 albums
and i still love everyone
except "overlap" that i still can't bring myself
to listen to

this is the longest relationship
i have ever experienced
so unselfish
so fulfilling
so beautiful
and all my own

happy 10 years! to a woman that could write a song that says "you can't will yourself happy, you can't will your cunt wet. you can't keep standing at the station, pretending your being met" and have it sound so poetic and chillingly beautiful.

Some Days

2006-03-13T09:59:00.000-06:00

and there is some days
i feel all alone
and forget what we
are working towards

and there is some days
when i feel sick
cause you aren't around
and the phone just
can't comfort this

and there is some days
when i am tired of
being the "man of the house"
tired of fixing and hanging on

some days, i feel like giving up
like our dreams won't happen
and we aren't on the same page
i just don't know how to fix it

and there are some days
that it hurts to miss you
and some days i'm reminded
of the good it will bring

there are some days
i'd love a little comfort
love a little less fear
love a little happiness
i'd love a little you

It's Succeeding

Romance Recap

2006-03-07T13:10:00.000-06:00

Everytime Danny comes home, after being away 4 or 5 weeks I feel like I have been put in a blender and pureed on high.

Between visiting, partying, renovating, insulating, plumbing, cleaning, there is very little "us" time.
I did however manage to surprise him with a very nice hotel surprise on his last night in town. I strung him along like a little puppy and he took the bait. Even when he was walking into the hotel room, he still thought I was attending a course for work and he needed to help me carry some stuff out to the car. His face was worth the price of the hotel.Planning a surprise is remarkably stressful however, and I barely made it through the 5 days without spilling the beans.

It all worked out and was really fun, especially the jacuzzi tub that was directly facing the t.v (with Food TV on it of course.) I am such a food geek.

Have not heard from you in weeks and I can guess why.

"course you're the kind of guy who doesn't lie
he just doctors everything
who chooses some unassuming finger
and quietly moves his wedding ring
who rewrites his autobiography for any pretty girl who will sing
but you can't fool the queen baby
'cause i married the king"
