hubby finds job offer on Vancouver Island today
and will apply
these things rarely come into fruition
so I am not too concerned
but secretly fantacizing about the ocean
and my time spent there
i would say yes
just for the sake of change
change and I have always been good friends
speaking of seasons
spring summer winter fall
occur in the year
in ones life
in ones day
ie.
we enter the summer of life
we have a time of day that feels like winter
we awaken into spring
life would not be life without the seasons
there would be no blossom of spring without the dark death of autumn

and common
and unfortunate- if you knew my grandmother you would agree
and if you move my chairs in the kitchen you would understand
thats right people

the smart thing
everyones wants to be smart- brilliant- genius
i say
nay
i know a tonne of smart- brilliant- genius people... really
and well, they all have a glitch
some bigger then others
no mind is perfect -
some great minds like
churchhill
and einstein
appear so stupendous because their obvious acheivements in word and deed
but lets dig deeper people
einstein didn't bathe properly and slept every 3 hours
churchill had severe depression which he named his "black dog"
i have always thought- that if you get too smart, the next stop is crazy
i say- lets be a little slow
and a little happy
worry about nothing more than cornflakes or raison bran?

i'm just gonna say it
some men and women are perfect maybe
some husbands and wives too
so what i am talking about may not include you
i am talking about "the Cave"
i first read about it in the book "men are from mars and women are from venus"
where it sums up that men need to go to "their Cave" to be alone so that they can function.
sounds kinda cool and mysterious...
not so
what this equates to in our society
is men that are addicted to video games, long drives, television, internet, tuning out, hotel rooms
because they need "space"
so maybe thats not so bad- and indeed it isn't
if your responsibilities are being met and maybe even aced
if your children and wife are content and calm
See my issue with this behavior is not the behavior itself (usually)
its just that its not fair
do men really think they are the only ones that need a "Cave" or a "Break"
every female i know needs this very thing- especially the moms
but heres the thing
she schedules her "Cave Break" at an appropriate time
when all of her responsibilities are complete
when all babies are sleeping
when laundry is done, dishes, bills, phone calls, meals
which never happens
so she never does this
....so husbands if you can find time in your busy day for a much needed break then by all means take it- but atleast be kind, and thankful and realize that it is a gift.
one wouldn't want to waste their life in the "Cave"
some husbands and wives too

politics
"moderation in all things"
is a famous quote
which means nothing
there are lots of "things" out there
ie. heroine, arson, grand theft auto...

optimism
i like positive people
their fun and smile alot
they are more enjoyable then negative people
though, sometimes negative people are really funny
and sarcastic
i guess my favorites are realists
whatever that means
i would like to be a positive person but usually i'm waiting
for the other shoe to drop

speaking of marriage
hubby just informed me that if he ever met a girl named "Hockey"- that I'd better watch out!
marriage advice
don't worry- i'm not about to give you my advice
i am just remembering some advice that was given to me
and maybe it is good advice and maybe its bad
you decide
-marry someone who can make you laugh
-someone you want to grow old with
-respect is the most important thing
-sometimes you'll love them sometimes you'll hate them
-marriage is like running a business
-take time everyday to show you care
-marriage is work
-are you inlove?
-how do they treat their moms?
-no one is perfect
-whatever you can't stand about them now times that by 500
-marriage changes everything
i'm pretty sure forrest gump would have had something good to say about the topic

swear words- don't read if easily offended
what are swear words?
we probably learn that from our mothers
i can think of some obvious ones...
but
what about the other name for donkey?
female dog?
these words ringing in our mind sound crash- rude- wrong
and maybe they are...
but i would rather hear
the F-bomb
than what i usually hear
which is 'Oh My G*d'!
or the worst 'Jesus Ch*st'!
why do athiests and agnostics and muslims and budhist etc. use these terms for cursing? and why on earth do christians use these words for cursing?
by the way- writing OMG is no different

parenting 101
so we all know ubermoms and uberparents
maybe i am one- maybe not
so they do everything so wonderfull with their offspring
time money games classes friends parks
and good for them
i would rather be that than this:
parents that are too cool to be good parents
like
i'm not going to worry about this
or that
my kids will survive
thats all that matters
hmm

in the navy?
i remember with horrid detail cursing the color navy a year ago to my mother in-law and somehow failed to notice that she herself was wearing all navy that day.
i remember grade 8 and 9 when navy was 'black' or 'brown' - it was sooo coool. my boyfriend always wore navy.
but that was then. and its been 15years since navy was cool.
so i am still in shock that navy is back and frankly spent the last 2 months a little upset about this- does this mean i need to do the navy thing?
my girlfriend gave me a handmedown sweatshirt yesterday (i am the queen of handmedown- send it down to me- i will love it and use it)- and this fabulous sweatshirt is Navy.
so i was like hmmm.. and now i am thinking i look pretty good in navy
i guess i am doing the navy thing
bring on Navy 1994!

the best love poem of all time- skidamarinkydinkydoo
i love you in the morning and in the afternoon, i love you in the evening underneath the moon
i have discovered something interesting about my daughter
sometimes- usually at night when she is crying and it is really annoying
i used to say shhh, shhhhhhh, shhhhh, Hope you need to be quiet. etc.. shhh
last week i decided to say "Hope I Love You"- and the strangest thing
she stopped crying
maybe its true- babies just want love
so maybe Charity never faileth
spiders
are not welcome here in my house- or my front porch for that matter
please move out
pack your bags
please move out
pack your bags
God is not mocked
for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap- he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption- he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting-Paul
this is good for me to think about
What does this mean to me? to you?
How do we sow to the Spirit?

high maintenance
so for all those people who read this- and are finding this sortof mundane- heres another one for you. its about me and you probably already know
i am high maintenance
i go pee more than anyone i know
i eat more often than anyone i know
i need sleep, get hot, get cold, get bored, change my mind, get thirsty, feel foggy, get annoyed, feel dizzy, get claustorphobic, am arachnophobic, don't like to fly, am a bad passenger, need a bath, need a massage, get anxious, don't like mushrooms or melons-
you get the picture
but because of this- i have one great redeeming quality:
i understand
i understand your issues
your ugly bits
your personality glitches
i know what its like to be your own worst enemy
