Two Months?! Too Long!!

2009-10-28T16:28:00.002-06:00

Hi friends!I am sorry.Wow, it's been waaay too long since I have posted an entry here! I keep thinking to myself, I should do this! But I end up not doing it. :/ Apologies to my followers.I guess I'll give you a quick update on what's been going on in the past while! I'm loving what I do for work, but not so much the company I am working for. Which sucks. It's been planted into my head

Thinking Feeling

2009-08-27T21:32:00.003-06:00

Ok, I don't know exactly how to say what it is right now that I am feeling, so I am just going to say it.I feel like I am destined for great things.Even in my "struggles" (And I "quote" that because, compared to many in this world, my struggles would be a walk in the park!) I still have hope. Like, I don't know when or how (Like, seriously, HOW?!?) I'm going to get through some of these

Playing Catch-Up

2009-08-26T21:00:00.003-06:00

And here I find myself playing catch-up once again. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't put thought towards writing an entry, (or even finishing one of my many started entries!) or read any of your entries, for a good two weeks.You know, you get home from a full day at work -- and it is a full day for me, I leave the house at 9:00, and don't often get home until 8:30 that evening -- and you just

Beautiful Irony

2009-08-09T23:46:00.007-06:00

This is too cool not to share!I was over at Ter's blog "With an Angel on my Shoulders" where she is celebrating her 100 Followers and Two Year milestones! (Congratulations!) And to celebrate, she is having a fun contest! (Who doesn't love free stuff?!) To enter, all you have to do is -- well, follow her, first of all -- and then leave her a comment as to why you follow her blog. I wrote her

Creatively Fit!

2009-08-09T22:26:00.005-06:00

Thank you Cindy @ Chalk It Up! for inviting me to the Creatively Fit team! I haven't started my walking regime yet, but I'm already planning to go out and get some photos while camping this week!I am looking forward to walking and shooting (and losing!) with you all!And really, you needed a Canuck.:PGuhh, ... there was something else I was going to do .. or say ... but I forget. Oh well.But,

Eventful Sunday: Home, Work, Pictures!

2009-08-09T19:35:00.007-06:00

Well, what an eventful day it's been!First of all, I must say, it was not pleasant at all to be woken up at 6:00 AM by the guy in the suite above us blaring his music! I am quite convinced that he had this subwoofer pointed down at the floor -- right above my bed! Well, at least he was considerate enough this time to give us a little variety -- last time, he had the same song on repeat! Now, I

About Me

2009-08-08T23:30:00.001-06:00

Ok friends and followers, I am trying to come up with a good "About Me" description for my profile. Considering how much I hummed and hawwed over what to call my blog, this could be quite an ordeal!So, my question is this: what do you say in an "About Me"? Or what should you share? Do you write it in first person, or third person -- and what happened to the second one? Does he feel left out?!

Lazy Blog, No.2

2009-08-06T21:45:00.002-06:00

Ok, my brain is fried ... I have drafts for entries started, but, brain, fried, you know. However! I want to keep in the habit of writing. So, another Lazy Blog. Enjoy ...Dudes I just had a cup of tea and realised I have not updated this since you last visited... You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. Seriously!.I am totally exhausted with an awfully big adventure,

Good Day, Bad Day

2009-08-05T20:47:00.002-06:00

Wow, I have had a long blur of a day! I'll share -- what I can remember of it -- with you ... let's start with the good news!Today was my first day at a new job -- well, half day. I am now an associate at the PictureMe Portrait Studio in Wal-Mart! I am very excited about this, as I love kids first of all, and I love photography! I'm excited to learn all kinds of tips and tricks about taking

Grrr!! Why?! ;D

2009-08-04T12:34:00.006-06:00

Ok, can you see what my banner looks like there?! Can you see it?! It's lovely -- I love the pinwheel photo. But why is it WAY OVER like that?! Ugh! Sotrustrating. :(Edit: I seem to have muddled and fixed it a bit. I think I did ok!I've been viewing a lot of blogs through SITS, and some of them are just so beautiful! And I want my blog to beautiful too ... not plain like it is. So, help

Stuff!!

2009-07-30T22:13:00.003-06:00

I've been inspired recently by various articles on Boundless, and TIME's Cheapskate Blog -- which exact articles, I don't quite remember -- to take up a simpler life. Oh, and let's not forget to mention George Carlin's talk about "stuff!"(This is a great video, BTW. One I never would have found had it not been for my Dad's impression of Carlin's Hippy Dippy Weather Man.)(Note: I also found this

Lazy Blog

2009-07-23T23:23:00.004-06:00

Ok, I know I promised a new post tonight, but with all the cleaning, and getting out with people today (which was very good for me!) I really never found the time to finish up the blog post I have in the works.So, instead, you get a special treat! Jen over at the Cake Wrecks blog shared this gem via Twitter: The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator. Since it appears that I am being lazy this week, I

My Life: Barenaked Ladies Style!

2009-07-15T22:00:00.003-06:00

So I stole this fun little survey from Facebook -- via Keila. (thankyou Keila!) And apparently I have to answer questions of "my life" with the names of songs written by a favourite band; so I chose the Barenaked Ladies -- of course I chose the Barenaked Ladies!! So, here we go!Are you male or female?: I'll Be That GirlHow do you feel?: Some FantasticDescribe where you currently live: The

Introducing Sherlock and Watson!

2009-07-11T23:59:00.005-06:00

Meet Sherlock and Watson ...These adorable little fuzzballs have been calling the terrarium in my basement apartment bedroom home now for just under one month. Since June 18th, to be exact! Sherlock is the tan one, and also the more feisty of the two. I'm pretty sure he's drawn blood from my fingers more than any other animals I've had ... combined, hands down. And I am sure there will be

Welcome Back!

2009-06-28T23:59:00.003-06:00

Hello world!Some of you know that I used to "blog" quite a bit here. And other sites as well. And about anything and everything. Also, a lot of it was very personal.Well, I am back now! I've deleted old posts, save some that I do like -- and those I have edited -- and I'm starting fresh! What will this blog be about?! Well, I have decided that I am no longer going to write as much about

Superman and Good Enough

2006-07-21T23:43:00.003-06:00

(post has been edited to protect personal information - Tams)... While in Blairmore, Jillian and I also went to see Superman Returns! Overall, I guess it was a good movie. Some parts made me laugh, some made me hold my breath, and some made me groan. I can't say I cried though. I think my favourite line would have to be when Lex said, "This ordinary crystal is a seed, and all it needs is

Doublemint Twins Are Different!!

2006-06-07T23:59:00.002-06:00

They're Mints!! Ha ha, see Laurel? I told you this was great! Sorry to the rest of you--I mean, you can enjoy this!--but I am currently out of profound-ness. I may take rain checks ...

Pay Day

2006-05-19T13:00:00.003-06:00

So, today's pay day, and all it did was make me think about money, and how I don't have enough. Guhh ... its evil, and stressing me out. Money is evil; yet, to get by in life, we need it. I hate oweing people money too. I hate spending it. I hate not having enough. It's funny, cuz I was thinking about when things are all gonna be on the plus side for me; when I'll have student loans out of the

He's Blunt

2006-04-21T00:22:00.003-06:00

More and more lately I've been feeling the challenge of just trusting God more--wholeheartedly--and hearing what he is saying to me. So, in lieu of that, I have a story!In the summer of grade 10 I was faced with a difficult decision; where I wanted to go for grade 11. I was in such a position that I could wake up for the first day of class, and catch the bus to the school to the north, or the one

If Walls Could Talk

2006-03-23T21:50:00.002-07:00

Well, I can't believe that I've put off talking about this for this long already, as it's been five days since I've found out ... My mom sold her restaurant. I don't know why this came as so much of a shock when I first heard it, because she'd been trying to sell it for a year, and had had three other people interested in it before this person that has bought it. Maybe it's because she's owned
