when to stop
when we know someone is having a difficult time
busy and struggling
and we call and call
and call
and sometimes get through
but never get our calls returned
even though we love this person
when do we stop?
do we?

The Lion and the Lamb
I think it is a good thing
if both of these
live within us
and lead at the appropriate time
Sometimes we think that only a Lamb is necessary
but I beg to differ
Lions have their place

the battle of the bangs
you probably know
i was fighting a battle
the battle of the bangs
wanting them
but staving off the wretched desire
well
i lost the battle in early July
and since then
i am reminded daily as to why
i should never have got them in the first place
right now i am at the bobbypin all the time stage
only worsened by the fact
the bangs are growing
thus creating a rather interesting rooster effect on the top of my head
ah. bliss

clarify the cigarette comment
i think smoking is pretty gross
for obvious reasons
and smokers breath is equally gross
as is smokers stinky clothes, hair, and home
not to mention it is an expensive luxury
like maybe quit smoking and save a starving child
however,
i totally get it
and i totally get why people do it
and i totally know why they can't stop
I was a smoker
the kind that likes smoking and intends on smoking forever
much to my mothers dismay as she offered to pay me $1,000.00 to quit
which I ignored
I was a smoker
until things changed
abruptly
and so, I get it
but it's not proper
and maybe even worse

tough old bird
a term referring to
usually a strong older women
who is sometimes overly abrasive and aggressive
I know a few
one comes to mind- my greatgrandmother on my dads side
widow twice- and both while relatively young
leaving her and her 10 children to run a farm
during the depression
while wild Indians(forgive the term)
would beg for food out the back door
and she would throw them scraps in the winter
when kittens and puppies were drowned to death
to spare them starvation
when literally a hunk of coal was given for christmas
when the death of the spouse meant relief from childbirth and physical abuse
these realities
explain
how
one becomes a tough old bird
and how well, my grandma too became a tough old bird
and so knowing apples and trees like to stay close together
I hope that if I am ever tough
it is only for good
and well balanced
with a large dose of mercy and sweet

radish anyone?
so I eat basically everything
including -like today I had Kraft Dinner
and no, I don't read the ingredients
but I do make myself feel better by adding
broccoli and cottage cheese
and finishing it off with a splendid
radish
actually, I hope nothing is wrong with me
cause I have been craving radishes like crazy
and eating swarms of them
and it leaves a nice after taste
much like a cigarette- )

This is the whole reason I wanted to Blog in the first place
I wanted to Blog
because i wanted to talk about
childbirth and afterhours of childbirth
but I have yet to have the words or clarity of thought
to say just the right thing
so I'm gonna just say something
I do not know what your experience was like
and you do not know what mine was like
you don't know
Sometimes what mercy is - is showing kindness support and gentleness even and especially when we don't understand why or what the needy one needs

personal opinion about names for children
everyone has some idea of the perfect name for their children
and i am sure we don't all agree on what is perfect or appropriate or proper- ahem
so i will gently say
why name your child after something that has negative connotations?
you know what
i'm chickening out of this Blog
I am gonna drop out of this
before I offend someone

define
speaking of spell check- i can never for the life of me figure out how to spell definetly- definetley-definetly - deffinetly-
did you all know alot is spelled a lot
why do i care?

there is a person
A person who recently entered my life and I really want her to like me and my daughter
and I am afraid that she won't
But I like her
so hopefully that counts for something
and I am afraid that she won't

neglecting my duties and blogging about shoes
Has anyone noticed that I have not worn highheels for more then 5 minutes since I had my child.
I have
I have noticed that my Birks live on my feet and the tan lines prove it
I have noticed that somehow I have convinced myself that every outfit goes with Birks
But for some reason on Sunday I had some courage
and I wore heels-Gasp
and I was reminded as to why silly women do this almost everywhere
because
my legs looked better
my outfit looked better
and people were nice to me ())
no really- I even got compliments on my sallyanne handmedown makeshift outfit
-because of
the Heels
and so I am passing on my discovery for the few women left on the planet
who may not have come to this conclusion
Pumps look good
and so maybe sometime next year I will wear them again

Dear Diaper Fairy
Why was my daughters diaper on crooked today in church?
Why did she pee all over me, and why O why
did it run down my leg?

I can spell if I want to
I can use capitals if I want to
I can use spell check
I can use commas and semi-colons properly to my hearts desire
I know when to use italics usually
but sometimes I am having a dumb day or a lazy day- or the usual- I just don't care
But, I am now realizing sadly that many people cannot spell or punctuate
even if they graduated from highschool
(its all making sense now as i write this- i didn't actually learn this stuff in highschool, I learned it out of fear and desperation in university when I was over my head early on)
I am aghast at the spelling of would-be job holders on Kijiji!
Goodness- no you can't be my nanny- you can't even spell!
Now lets not be proud and snotty here people
I have scads of leeway(sp?)) for busy mothers and pregnant women
I just think if you are actually looking for employment that maybe you would want to appear well versed or atleast mainstream.

so speaking of art
i have a passion
for something i have never done
(i think thats pretty common)
I deeply desire to make stain glass art projects that dangle from the ceiling
maybe someday
right now i just need a job)

Proper
Proper is an old word that I have been using a lot to describe something that is Right(in my eyes) but not necessarily in the spiritual sense ie.
It might not be a sin to forget to recycle but it's not Proper
It might not be a sin to not call someone back but it's not Proper
It might not be a sin to eat only microwaveable meals but it's not Proper
I would not consider myself a particularly Proper person
but I do seem to have my Proper boundaries
Like when an 8 year old is rude to their parents friends -that is not Proper
Or when someone leaves their car lights on and we don't tell them- that is not Proper
Or not going to the dentist for a decade- not Proper
..
I am starting to laugh at myself now thinking of how many things that I do that many people would find very improper...

boots that go over the knee
are so in
and super interesting to look at
and might come in handy with a skirt
but are they too sleazy?
maybe flat brown ones would be ok

Architecture
so there is this house i have been lusting after
in an amazing location
small and french and gorgeous
and today was the Grande Opening
and -not like I have any training in Design-
but whoever clothed this beautiful architectural specimen
did a terrible job
and totally missed the point and plan of the actual design of the home
AHHHHHHHHHHggGG! total let down
just because 'modern' sounds cool- doesn't make it the best style choice
in fact I would dare say 'modern' design is often novice and boring
hello suburban builders

we all remember
longer shadows
winds that bite
angled sunshine
shiny moon
better sleeps
loving to do nothing
nothing but wander
up the street and back

themost wonderful place on earth
is the farmers market sans the coffee
loove it! looove it!
want to live there
and listen to the wooden flute
and pet the oversized dog
and eat the oversized peaches
and smile modestly at the Hutterites

who are consistently
considerate
