My Papa (grandfather) passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday, January 29th most likely due to a heart attack ( Read more... )

I've been going on a clothes shopping spree lately. I recently got a raise at work and while that had everything to do with my abilities and not my appearance, I feel like dressing up a bit more often. Ya know? When I worked at the law firm, I had to dress a certain way. At the shelter, I can dress more casually which is very nice. But being ( Read more... )

Saturday night, I had a dream about a hummingbird. It kept buzzing around my head, landed on my shoulder, flicked its tongue at me, and landed on my hand. It was beautiful. When I was little, I once held a hummingbird. I guess it had flown into a window or something and was unconscious. I picked up this tiny, beautiful little creature, gently ( Read more... )

It is a beautiful day outside! The weather is around 0*C, the sun is shining, and not a breeze to be found. I'm almost tempted to go for a bike ride. However, I have more fear of drivers now that the snow is out than I would normally. We'll see if I do go. Maybe I'll just take the dogs for a walk or something ( Read more... )

Last weekend, I took my niece to this place called Crock-A-Doodle to paint pottery for her birthday. We did this last year, too, so I guess it's becoming a tradition of ours. We had a good time though she was clearly sleepy (she had a sleepover with a friend the night before), hahaha. I painted a mini garden gnome which got me thinking that I'd ( Read more... )

So very, very tired. This was one of those rare weekends where I did something on Saturday and Sunday, thus I end up feeling a bit like I didn't really have a weekend. I tried to nap earlier, but the effing dogs kept barking. I don't know what's going on with them lately. They're very whiney and bark a lot. Like, they kept whining at me since ( Read more... )

Sorry for my lack of updating, dear readers. The season change is bringing on my increased sleepiness. *le sigh* What can ya do ( Read more... )

Enough with wanting to learn. It's time for action, damn it. And with that gumption, I signed up for distance education. I've only signed up for one course thus far because I'm nervous. *lol* I start the Recruitment and Marketing course next month in hopes of getting my certificate in Volunteer Management through Red River College ( Read more... )

So, remember when I thought I had a cavity again at my top right back molar? Nope. Went to the dentist today for the fastest appointment ever. They took the x-ray and I glanced at it and thought, "Uh...that's not normal." The dentist came in and ( Read more... )

Weather reports drive me crazy. I didn't bike at all last week because it was unbikeably (new word, yes) windy for me all week. I biked yesterday because Weather Network said it wouldn't be too windy, yet Environment Canada said it would be. Guess what? It was hella windy on my way home. So today, I didn't bike because Environment Canada said ( Read more... )
