One day

Do you ever look at your life and wonder if other people's lives are as boring as yours?

I think that if I look at my life day by day, it is not the most exciting thing in the world.  But yet, overall, I love my life.  I have had so many wonderful opportunities that not everybody gets to experience.  There are still other things I would love to do with my life but I am happy for everything I have experienced so far.

I've had the opportunity to go  cross country skiing, water skiing, downhill skiing, sailing, snowshoeing, etc.  I have also traveled to many different parts of the world.  I have even had the chance to attend the Canada Games.

There are still things I want to do, things I want to accomplish, places to go, people to see.  I am happy that one day (knock on wood) I will be able to accomplish them.

:-)

ouch!!!

Ugh!!

Tonight I fell down my stairs....and now I am sore.

I believe I am okay but I scraped my legs and my hands (a bit).  I was on my way to Zumba and tried to avoid the ice on them but accidently tripped on my pant leg.  I am wondering how long it is going to take me to no longer be sore.  I just hope my soreness leaves after tonight but...there is not much I can do if it does not.

Oh well...

Zumba

I have signed up for Zumba on Tuesday nights (and Monday nights but that is a different story).  It is close enough for me to walk.  The first week I walked to Zumba - there was a wind chill of -40 so it was mighty cold.  The second week I walked but it was much warmer.  This week I drove there from a meeting.  It was the warmest trip so far.

I wonder what will happen next week?

Working from Home

I have been working from home for about 5 months now.  There are things about it that I like (ie. no commute)  but I am not entirely convinced it is something I would hope to do more of in the future.  I like being able to separate my work from my home.  The good news is that I only have one more month left (of the pilot project) and then I can decide what I want to do.

Tomorrow I am working from home again.  It snowed on the weekend and I just got notice that they are planning on clearing the snow from our parking lot tomorrow.  Now I have to figure out where to park my car.  If I was at work, it would not be an issue.

Now I am on my way to Zumba!

Another wedding...

Yesterday my uncle got married for the third time.

It was a nice wedding - all 12 grandchildren and my niece were in the wedding party.  Only 9 were under the age of 10.

It is nice that my uncle is happy again.  You never know where life will take you so count your blessings.

I had a great time dancing last night but today I am really tired.  I am looking forward to sleeping.  Is that strange?

My sister thinks my postings should be longer but I have nothing more to say except...

Congrats!  (You know who you are.)

Picture this...

It occurred to me today (as I looked around my living room) that I do not have that many personal pictures.

These are the personal pictures I have in my house:
In the living room =
Picture of Kareena, Joanne, and me on Kareena's wedding day
Picture of me at grade 12 grad
Picture of Bella and Mya on their First Eucharist
Picture of paternal grandparents

In the kitchen =
Picture of Kathleen and Bella
Picture of the wedding party from one of the weddings I went to last year
Picture of my Real Estate Agent (came as a magnet at Christmas)

In my bedroom =
Picture of Bella as a baby
Picture of Ted, Kareena, Alex, and Alyssa
Picture of me with Rangers (made the newspaper back in the day) skating

In my spare bedroom =
Picture of maternal grandparents
Picture of me with Lieutenant Governor

For a grand total of 11 pictures in my house.  How about you?  How many personal pictures do you have displayed in your house?

 What do you think it says about you?  (I think it says that I am analytical?)

Here are some tips for giving me a picture:
1) Always give me a picture in a frame
2) Wait 3 months...
3) Come over to my house
4) Walk through my place to see if I have it displayed anywhere
5) Hang it up

:-)

btw - I always love getting pictures.  (even if I don't hang them up)

Determined!

To beat this heat!!

Oh the joys of summer...it is nice when the weather is warm but man - does the house ever heat up.  Unintentionally I have not turned on my air conditioning yet!! (and I live on the 2nd floor)

I just haven;t been hot enough yet to need it on....except for maybe on the weekend and even tonight.  Okay - now I am intentionally not turning it on.

I am boiling but determined not to turn on the air conditioning tonight...

Tomorrow - it may be a different story...
