ughhh what a long day!

Trapped on old Annacis Island tonight.  Due to this horrible accident, it shut down the Alex Fraser Bridge in both directions.  Got to leave the office at 7:50pm and it was still backed up out front out our building.  I managed to sneak the back way off the Island.  So glad not many people know that route or I probably would still be out there fighting to get home.  People were out of their cars and milling around and you could hear the helicopters in the sky.   Very sad for sure.

Soccer Weekend

It was a soccer weekend for us.  Yesterday Brayden played and it was sunny ( a major treat) but cool. Sorry no photos...my battery died!  Today Kaylin played and I froze!  She was in goal for the first half and did an awesome job.  Our team won 4-2.

Another great save!

Congrats on a great job from Coach Derek!.

The Week

Nothing terribly exciting this week went on.  Just a busy one.  Lots of rain - I mean crazy rain.  My drive to work the last couple of days have been slow due to huge puddles.  Oh well...finally saw some sun this afternoon and that is enough to totally forgive all the rain that came.  Hoping the weather this weekend will at least hold out for the kids soccer games.  We are travelling for both...Surrey/North Delta for one and New Westminter for the other.  Crossing fingers.,

Had my MRI on Wednesday morning.  Was at the hospital bright and early at 7:55am and did not have to wait long. The MRI tech was really great, but I did get worried when he kept asking questions like "are you afraid of confined spaces?  are you claustrobphic? etc.  I finally told him...no more talking about it..lets just get it rolling  :-)  Oh it was confined alright. The test took about 20 minutes and it seriously was like a jack hammer was be operated beside your ears. Crazy, becuase there is nothing wrong there - just take the photos of the back and I will be good to go! :-)  Oh well, in the last 8 weeks, I figure that I have had enough radiation and whatever else is in those scans that I should be glowing!   So, hopefully I will hear that the bulge is shrinking?  Can only hope.  And at the request of my Neurosurgeon, trying to drink the extra water and lose my stress!  Haha..that should be fun.

Speaking of stress...how would you feel if your child called you on a dark and pouring rain night from a park where he was supposed to have a soccer practice. Turns out that was earlier cancelled.  He is asking if he could get a ride home because he had just been dropped off and turns out no one from his team was there??? Right...because it was cancelled remember?.  Normally one makes sure before leaving a child in a park that all is good.  Oh yes, did I mention that you are not in the area to pick him up in short minutes and he is borrowing someones cell phone at the park to call you?  Yup...welcome to my world.

Here are a couple of recent pictures of my silly girl and oh yes, got the nails done today.  You know me, I like designs.  See what I have today.

And that is about it for now.  All my news and gossip.  So we will see what comes next!

Stuff

Lets' see... what is new.
Saw Avatar last night in 3D and WOW.

That is really all that has to be said. 










I have a MRI appointment on Wednesday.  Again.....only had to wait 2 weeks for this appointment.  Managed to squeeze in on someone's cancellation.  Thankyou very much!  So, off to have a better look at my problem disk.  Hopefully it has shrunk some.  The numbness is still around but the pain is minimal. So that is good.

That's about it.  Hope all is good with you.

New Year = New Laws!

So......just got my bluetooth - thankyou to my employer and I love it.  Wow....should have gotten one alot earlier....so nice to be handsfree!!!

It may be bootlegged....

but I don't care. I have a coworker who surprised me with a copy of New Moon!  Whoo Hoo.......I am soo happy.   Now I can watch whenever I want and can drool over Jacob

I know, I know..he is like sixteen isn't he?  Oh well...who cares...he cleaned up great for this movie.

He almost converted me to

Especially when he and Bella almost kissed.

 I was caught up in the moment - must have been because....

ahhhhhh  I am an Edward girl!  and now I can drool over him in New Moon as much as I want to. 

I am not going to write a big long story of how the year went. This one for me was full of ups and downs. More downs then anything so I for one could not wait to see 2009 hit the road. I am looking forward to 2010 and the changes that it is going to bring.

I have spent so much time worrying about others; thinking I can change things when things can't be changed; putting out fires; worrying about peoples perceptions; can't do it anymore. I am tired and it is me time. This is my year and those most important to me. To those that don't agree, I really don't care. I could think of another choice word to add to that but I won't. I am busy now...and I got things to do.

Happy New Year to You and May it be your Best Year Yet.

Here are some photos of Christmas.

A New Look to Start the Year Off

Thought I would change up the background....wish that dog was a cat but oh well.
For now it will do. No offence Poppy!
