Oh The Holiday Season...

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Beautiful Beauty of a Day

My sincere apologies for the profanity on my last post. A Lady shouldn't talk like that!

I'm working on rebuilding (or building) a realtionship that is long (30 years long) over due. Trying to stay positive. Merry Christmas...Dad?

Fucking Mother Fucking Cold Out

Not so much the norm for VanCity.

And, I am so cutting my bangs and colouring my hairs. Soon.

Love

Sheesh, you would think with all the time I had on my hands recently I would have blogged a lot more. Not really sure what my deal was. Anyways I'm back in the working world and I LOVE IT!! I love plants. I love love. Looooove.

Just Feeling

the need to post something.

Sweet Jesus

Taking the Time.

A New Twist on Old Shit.

Fun at Dressew

Okay, I said I wouldn't post these on FB but I said nothing about my blog! Sorry H.

I like laughing.

So Nice (and sometimes funny)

Miss Helena and I went on a stroll the other day and came across Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden and Park. We thought "why not?". I'm embarrassed to say I've never "actually" been. At one point navigation was a bit confusing (and funny). And so nice to escape into such a tranquil garden in the middle of The City. Terrible us apparently didn't learn anything whilst there but it was really fun to look at the most beautiful trees, bonsai, and mosses. So if you want the 411 on this amazing Chinese garden/park (and some very excellent photos) go HERE.

Symphony No. 7

Last Saturday Bobby took me to watch the VSO and amazing cellist Han-Na Chang play Elgar. She was phenomenal! I absolutely loved every second of it. I haven't been to the symphony since I lived in Calgary. I love watching so many musicians play together, and especially when they are playing musica that was written over 120 years ago. Bravo! Love love loved it!

This First Lady has been Visiting The Asylum far too often these Days

I don't mean to make light of the seriousness of the current situation but it turns out I really hate hospitals.

Well That Was Fun

And good-bye to you too.

Always Looking for a Seditive

I know that this is Passiflora caerula not Passiflora incarnate but even looking at this flower makes everything better!! Mine is in full bloom as we speak. I planted this guy way to late this year, oh ya... and then there was that sitting in water way too long and getting a little root rot thing. So...I have no fruits this year. That's okay, I have tones of flowers right now.

What

is that?

The Roo Says....

"Keep your nose to the ground and super fantastic things will come your way!!!!"

Who can argue with The Roo?

Oh Thank You For this Rain

Completely just realised that the reason that my balcony has been flooding is because the builders did not attach the drain spout to the eve.
I didn't realise that drainage in my apartment was my responsibility. Quality control people, quality control.

A Single Explosion

On a plane, somewhere over the sea

Above the rain, the bottle sets me free
I turn to stone, fall back in my seat
The cuts are gone but somehow I'm still bleeding

You know it's true
There's nothing I can do
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you

Move to France
La Rochelle or Nice
Get a house
Pretend to live in peace
Paint the walls
A blackout of your face
Stalk the halls
Then move into the basement

You know it's true
There's nothing I can do
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
Walk away, there's nothing I can say
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you


So don't you mind the gap when you leave
There'll be time enough to turn tall tomorow
So don't you mind the gap when you leave

Broken up like a tanker on the rocks
Not room for much
I'm like the Cubs against the Sox
On a plane, somewhere over the sea
I fall asleep, convinced that I ain't breathing

You know it's true
There's nothing I can do
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do
Pick a fight, it's just you being right
Walk away there's nothing I can say
You know it's true
There's nothing I can do about you

So don't you mind the gap when you leave
There'll be time enough to turn tall tomorow
So don't you mind the gap when you leave
There'll be time enough to turn tall tomorow
Son don't you mind the gap when you leave

Times they are a Changin'

I am certainly not the biggest fan of change so feeling a wee bit stressed at the moment, but I've been feeling stressed for a while now. As I type this I'm wondering why feelin' so stressed? Things could be so much worse. At least I don't have a terminal illness.

Onwards & Upwards

Not sure what to say.
My Grandmother told me "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all".
So I shall say nothing at this moment.

I Am a Girl, and I can`t help but Love Fasion

Givenchy & Audry Hepburn
Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks
Leo & Clare Danes

Can`t help it, feeling super sucky romantic.

Again and as Always....

Zinnias make the world go 'round!

You Know What's Funny?

Using the dictionary to look up the word penises.

And Breath

Man, I gotta get back into the living.

Marrage in the Mountains

The other weekend Bobby and I meet up with some of his really good friends and their "wives" to go to a wedding. So very much fun!!

Flowers and Beer Two of My Favorite Things

I lost my mind when I saw this Hibiscus beer on the menu! It's been fun times the last couple of weeks, but it's exausting and I am so excited to have a me day today.

I changed some of the colour on this here blog. I feel a little better now.

Spiffy and New

For a long time I've been wanting to change the look of this blog, it was too dark, too "Larry King Live" background. However, being a Cancer and not liking change at all and I feel sad that the old blog look is gone, forever. I should have taken a photo. Not that anyone reads this but now I will never see the other layout ever, and I miss it. I don't like the new colour of text, and the title needs to be fancier but I am tired and will change it another day.

p.s. LadyBug love makes things better (tolerable).

A Dozen Just Because

I am a lucky Squirrel. Bobby has been quite busy/pre-occupied with his new business, his full time job, and his 3 bands. I've been feeling a little neglected and he totally gets it. He showed up at The Flower Box with a dozen roses (from West Van Florists, but that's okay 'cause I actually really like that shop). I know I know.... I shouldn't like the traditional dozen roses but I loved these. I love him. I am a lucky Squirrel.
