The way you smile at the ground

It ain't hard to tell you don't know

You don't know you're beautiful

Well, our new tricked-out old person Tardis car is safely in the downstairs parkade, and has been ours for a few days now. I cannot help but feel kind of normal and boring driving it, wheras my old car made me feel special and sporty. Ah well. I have ( Read more... )

And I’m the kinda fellow that’ll make you feel better when your life gets shook

So give it a chance according to your plans

Well, the long and the short of it is that we lost another car.

Between Paul and I, we've lost five cars in a few years. That is not normal. And thanks to someone else this time, we just lost the last one on that list. We ( Read more... )

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self-assigned pennance
For problems with easy solutions

I've spent most of the day in disbelief - one more day left of the year and I feel so... lost somehow. Not lost in a bad, forlorn way, but as if the year had gone without being charted, without my taking a mould of its face as it perished as I ( Read more... )

My heart points north longing
'Cause without you
I'm an ice cube melting

My accomplishments this week have been varied, and chief among them has been not having a daily breakdown about losing my husband to this placement. It's hard and lonely, and despite the attempt to bury myself in work and books, I remain a bit listless most of the time without ( Read more... )

Broken hearts are being unbroken
Bitter words are being unspoken
The curse undone, the veil is parted
The garden gate will be left unguarded
Could you believe that everything sad is coming untrue?

Goodness. It's high time I updated this blog. It's high time I started blogging more again. I've been realizing that this sort of writing helps me to know ( Read more... )

Hey somewhere,
you threw your fear in the Sea of No Cares

Paul is still asleep - rather unsurprisingly, as despite the fact that it’s nearly midday here, it’s only 8am in Saskatoon.

Our gift opening on Sunday afternoon was filled with joy - so many amazing gifts, things we asked for and things we really appreciate. These posts are for all ( Read more... )

As Janta commented today, my blog has been a bit barren of late - "It's almost as if you have better things to do!"

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say better! My to do lists have been exhaustive in more than one sense. But the reward begins to pour in. Several short hours ago my dear friend Janta flew into the Saskatoon airport and into my arms ( Read more... )

You're one of us
The spotlight is on

So today I had Paul's car, which was awesome. I got lots done, erranding galore.

I bought myself a pretty little betta fish for my now freshly watered tank. He'd probably bristle at a description like that. Seems like a proud, manly sort of fish, with some flair. Paul suggested I name him Ichthus, which would be an ( Read more... )

What does it say about me that while filling out a survey that the U of S randomly selected me for, I had to pause when, on a list of campus experiences, I had to pause at, "Living on Campus" until I realized they meant that literally, not figuratively? *sigh*

In today's news, my profs are hilarious.

Prof Kelly discussing Pride and Prejudice: "You ( Read more... )

And I said beam me up Scotty
And can I get a cup of coffee
And the internet, it still doesn't work

This Saturday was a long day. It started by me taking a sleep-in day, badly needed lately. Then it continued with another great Saskatchewan Bloggers meet-up. My friend Jadon, my prior blog meetup aquaintances Tanya,  Saskboy, and Huffb1, then Zach Bell ( Read more... )
