This too shall pass

"I love you, and I am so sad that you are living this unfulfilling and frustrating life. I would give anything for you to not have to endure this. You are my best friend, and it pains me to see you sacrificing everything to allow everyone else to be the priority. I really identify with that guilt, that complete and utter inability to stomp your foot and say 'wait a minute...what about ME???' And I am filled with utter contempt for the person who expects you to give, give, give all the time and never ask anything in return. You deserve SO much better than this, and I dearly hope that one day you'll get it.

"Keep your chin and spirits up...little ones are watching you. When hurtful comments, pure negligence and indifference are offered to you, take them with a grain of salt, and trust that karma can be a real bitch.

"This is the cross that you were born to bear. Just know that there is a special little place in Heaven waiting for you for all that you have given up for those you care about, and those you don't feel you have the strength to fight. And whatever you decide...

"...I'm right behind you all the way."

Puzzled

I'm in a jigsaw puzzle mood lately. Today I made a jigsaw puzzle from a photo I took of my kids.


Go here to make your own.

"You're On Notice!"


I'm watching you...

My P.O.M. (Peeves of the Month)

8. PARIS HILTON. She's just a complete waste of fresh air, skin and Prada.

7. ANTIBIOTIC ABUSERS. It is because of you idiots that we now have so many more strains of bacteria that are resistant to treatment. And thanks to you we are all getting sicker and sicker every year. You deserve to spend eternity in the ER waiting rooms.

6. GLOBAL WARMING for changing the entire climate of this planet. Or should I thank humanity for being so disrespectful and negligent? As much as winter sucks, it is a sign that all is right in the world.

5. AMAZON.COM for being SLOWER THAN MOLASSES IN JANUARY with sending me my purchase. Come on! Six weeks to send a VHS tape in the mail? Whatever. I see you wasted no time in debiting my bank account, though.

4. MY NEXT COLD VIRUS. I have had three colds in the past three months after going a whole year of excellent health. WTF??? And now as I shake off the effects of the most recent virus everyone around me is getting yet another strain. And guess who's getting sneezed on again? ENOUGH!!!!

3. DEADLY S. AFRICA TUBERCULOSIS STRAIN. Please...I beg you...stay in South Africa. You are not welcome here. We do not want you. If you must cross into our country visit upon the ANTIBIOTIC ABUSERS mentioned above who are wholly responsible for your existence. Thank you.

2. TIM HORTON'S for having the worst service EVER at the Oshawa Centre outlet. Not only did they keep screwing up our orders, but they had the nerve to complain back at us for complaining, and then told us to take our business elsewhere instead of offering to correct our orders. Even the district manager told us to go fly a kite when we called to try to escalate the issue.

I despise the mentality of big box companies like Tim's and Walmart. They completely suck the culture out of every town they settle into to the point that we feel compelled to go to them instead of the smaller companies who actually WANT our business.

1. OSHAWA SOCIAL WORKERS who don't give a damn that all the losers they see in a day who are applying for 'pogey' are actually too goddamn lazy to work when there is work out there. Instead of calling the agencies to follow up to see if there applicants are trying to find work, they just pump out the applications like it's going out of style. How can we get mad at these bottom feeders for choosing to sit around on their asses all day collecting EI from the tax purse when social services is encouraging them all along???

Going once...going twice...

Today I learned how to bid on eBay.

Just wait until the VERY LAST MOMENT and then crank up the highest bid possible to steal the item out right from under the last highest bidder's nose. For added drama, don't bid AT ALL until the very end, so no one will suspect you even want the stupid item, thus catching them off guard.

Sneaky, underhanded creep. I wouldn't be this upset if it wasn't such a rare item, and something I not only wanted very much to have, but something I won't likely find anywhere else.

You suck :-(

A family gathering


Family

I am very excited today because we are planning a trip over to NJ in a couple of weeks for a family get-together revolving around my Grandma Connie's birthday. Ber and I are hopefully (if the weather permits) flying over ourselves and staying for a few nights.

I am really looking forward to this trip because I haven't been to see my father, Eric, at his home in Jersey for at least a year, and I always enjoy visiting him along with his wife and my two half-siblings, who are younger than my own boys - pictured here flanking Eric and my cousin Laura.

If all the stars are aligned and the powers-that-be are in favour, we should leave on Thursday the 18th and get back home the Sunday evening, and we'll be able to take the Cessna. If the weather is too cold it will be too icy to fly ourselves and we'll have to look at getting a last minute flight out of Toronto instead, which will be much more costly.

Yay!!! I'm so pumped...I can't wait :D

Moon over Bizzy


First Full Moon of 2007

Last night we had a SPECTACULAR full moon.

I still don't have a telephoto lens, thus I could not take a moon photo like this one, by my friend Michael.

I did get some money from my father for Christmas, and he insisted that I buy myself a telephoto lens with it, but I have to pay off my vet bills first.

:-((( I realllllly want to take photos of the full moon!!! But I refuse to spend over $200 on an add-on to my Canon Powershot when I hope to eventually buy myself an SLR. I'm browsing eBay for something more reasonable that will give me the capability to do more with my point and shoot than it does now.

I hope to have me some new toys by February 2nd, when the moon will be full again....

:-) CHEERS to Ber, for making this the best New Year's I've had in four years. I have to agree that 2007 is going to ROCK!!!

:-( JEERS to my stupid bank, CIBC, for not having a single deposit envelope at all three ATMs when I made a special trip out this evening to deposit the rent cheque

:-) CHEERS to my tenant, Darcie, for picking up all the cigarette butts from the back patio after her party guests left last night, and for not being too rowdy and noisy
