argh!
so i deleted the last post because i had accessed my blog on two different computers and the pictures werent coming up. i dont know what its problem was but little boxes with red x's in them is not exactly how i want to display my work!!
forever ago
Well its been a coons age since I posted. How long is a coons age? I have no idea.. but in this case its a week and a half! Happy Birthday Jodi!!! today..
What's new you might ask? Well not a bunch since it feels like all I do is go to work and go home and cuddle with my puppy. Odd time I talk on the phone for a bit.. or msn. Last night I went shopping on Ebay - ordered a spare battery for my camera as well as this new fisheye lens thing - should be kinda cool. Its more of a filter than an actual lens - real wide angle lenses go for at least $400.. and for my purposes which will be like 2 pictures a session this should do!
Hmm.. what else is new? My house has stayed somewhat clean all the way since last friday. Yup that's right - I spent my friday night CLEANING my house - well the living room and kitchen. Its so nice to just wander around and look at all the clutter that isnt there - WELL really it is still there.. now it is just hiding in the spare room. Peace Windows came and measured my kitchen window and my bathroom window yesterday. I am expecting a quote very soon! He also checked out my ugly front door frame and he figures they should be able to make it "pretty" again. Now I just need to find someone who feels like laying some laminate.
Oh and funny.. Yesterday my hated carpenter from when I was renovating my kitchen walked into my work. Car shopping. Good luck.. haha someone else can deal with him.

spur of the moment!
Tonight I was driving along.. and all of a sudden I saw the above!WHOA.. pulled the truck over and took a couple shots. I dont know what made me take the time to swap to the lensbaby but I did and I am pretty happy with the result - who would have thought the scumiest part of town could look that good! It was a very rushed photography moment between the lights changing and letting cars almost run me over and having a bum yelling at me from his home on the sidewalk just west of what was bum park. But fun all the same. I wish I had more time as I could have tried a couple more angles.
Brette and I went to that new Mediterranean Oasis restaurant.. holy garlic! My tummy is in "i am not sure if i liked supper" mode right now. It wasnt bad - but it wasnt exactly YAHOO excellent either.
Well - I am yawning now so that means bedtime.. Sleep tight!
more like this..
Midweek blah.. haha.. almost thursday and the days are lasting so much longer. Today I worked until after 7 and came home, talked on the phone.. and STILL had time to take Abbie for a big long walk around the neighborhood! After all the snow we got this winter I thought for sure it would take longer to melt, but as we wandered around the streets tonight it is actually pretty amazing how fast the snow has left! The south side of my house is almost completely cleared away!
Starting today I noticed myself getting into a antsy sorta renovation mode again! I stopped by the window store yesterday so that they can come and give me a quote on a couple of those.. and I almost decided to move all my furniture and rip out the living room flooring. These moods tend to leave me with the messiest house possible for months at a time so i will have to be careful!! haha!
Tonight was laundry night. Everyday should be laundry night.. then maybe I would be able to keep up! I have like 4 more loads after what I have already done - not to mention putting away everything that will be clean!
Ok.. I am being rather boring. Sweet dreams everyone!!
something a little different
so a couple weeks ago abbie and i went for a walk and took some pics using the "lensbaby". it was the first spring walk of the year and the sun was out and everything was fairly ugly as all spring things are.. brown and muddy and not green at all.. garbage poking through melted snow etc. but here is one of the neighborhood trees looking all nice and pretty even at this time of year..
hungry
So I am hungry! Growling tummy.. grr
Wow have I ever not posted anything lately. I keep thinking I am going to post pictures and then when I am at home I forget! So here is a quick post in the meantime to keep us all busy! Haha.
I went to Edmonton over the weekend. All by myself! Weird last minute decision on Friday when I was looking at my April work schedule. Had the Saturday off.. had money burning a hole in my pocket.. had a want for some new work clothes.. off I went! It was kinda nice to just have a bunch of me time. Granted.. by the time I got to Edmonton I had had about enough "me" time. 4 hours driving down the divided hwy will do that to a person. The hotel upgraded my cheap ass one queen bed that I had requested to an "executive" suite. So I got to have this great big room all to myself. I dont even think I sat on all the chairs in there. I definately only used one of the TV's.. haha!
With Jodi's baby on the way I couldnt ignore the PULL of the kids clothing stores. Uh oh! I ended up buying double the stuff cause I dont know if it is going to be a boy or a girl and it was ALL sooo cute! I am SO excited for May!! Which reminds me.. I have some sewing to do!
Why is it still snowing? Seriously.. we have enough now. Although I would like the opportunity to snowmobile some more!
This weekend is a long weekend.. for me its more like two short weekends. Friday off/work Sat/Sunday off. And this is probably the first time in forever that I dont have the Easter Monday off. But I dont mind - I get TURKEY! Maybe one of those day's off will be nice out and I will get a chance to take some pics. This weather is seriously putting a damper on my picture taking want. I will post some of my recent "freezing" pics later!!
Have a good day everyone!
