It's hard to believe another Christmas is over...

time passes just way too fast! We had a wonderful time with our family and made many memories to carry with us through the years. It was so fun to watch my great niece and her wonder at all that was happening. It was even more fun watching the whole large group of us turn in to babbling idiots just to hear her say her new word "wow". I succeeded at making Jay's mom's green bean casserole... those who tried it thought it was pretty tasty and it was fun adding something to our tradional Christmas fair. I think one of the biggest highlights was a surprise my brother Al had for everyone... a tape that had my mom's voice on it. How neat it was to hear her laugh, chat, sing the ABC song... and even to cough. It is amazing how hearing her made memories flood back with a vengence. I had tears in my eyes and a huge smile on my face and I am so happy I was there to share it with everyone. Hearing her voice on Christmas eve helped to cement the fact that even though she is no longer physically with us her presence always will be. We both got spoiled as is the way with my family and I am looking forward to trying out my much coveted new appliances :P and I am even more looking forward to the spa package I recieved and sharing that day with the girls of the family... a day that I am sure will create many more memories. Jay's already got all his new tools organized and I am sure he's plotting ways to create projects to use them on. The list of gifts goes on and on and are all very much appreciated but the most important gift was the time we had to share with our family! On Christmas eve my boss gave me a picture from our Christmas party... it just goes to show that you are never to old to sit on Santas lap lol

I couldn't sleep at all last nite......

kept thinking of my first christmas with my "new" family....i laid there,my mind whizzing around with all the past memories....taken myself back in time is very easy to do,well in my head anyways...lol.

and there was my dad,swearing like an irish footballer...trying to haul the giant box that we kept the tree in since the begining of time,duct tape and all.putting it together was a nightmare,the stand first,then the three sections(held together with auto hose clamps,not pretty but it worked..lol)then all the branches had to be seperated by a small colored tag,i swear i think this tree was owned by Alexander the Great before my dad got hold of it....lol.

and of course my mother in all her wisdom was sitting in her glider(which is now owned by my sister in law,who rescued it just after my mother passed away)....she was more content to just sit there and glide back and forth all the while barking orders at my dad and the poor soul who he picked to help him set it up(which was usually me)...until the all familiar phrase echoed through the house.."BE QUIET WOMAN"..usually with a big ole smile on his face.

As far as traditions are concerned,we had very few for Christmas,one that is still carried on every Christmas no matter where we are is my moms green bean caserole.

Well time to get back to the here and now,but will never forget the good times i had with my parents at Christmas time,I love and miss you both and where ever you may be....Merry Christmas....from your loving son.

A book in my pocket and a bus pass in my hand....

just like my dad. How the years of past. Today would have been his birthday and he was on my mind as I made my way on the bus to work. I wonder how many book he read over the years, how many wacky people did he see... I swear they get wackier everyday. Everytime I have to navigate a new route unexpectedly I think of him and how heard he worked at teaching me the transit system for the city... is been a good 23 years but I still remember those lessons like they were yesterday. I was listening to Christmas tunes as per usual this time of season and felt a smile creep across my face as I sang along... nothing like a good version of Silver Bells to conjusre up happy images of Christmas's past with him. I wonder what he would think of his family today. I am sure he would be proud and so happy for the way things have gone. I really wonder what he would think of my husband... and get a chuckle when I think of what he would have said with me finding my life long partner on the internet.... not something that was happening when he was still alive and with us. I would hope that he would love Jay as I do and would just be thrilled with how happy I am. I love ya dad and always will... I only wish you were here to get your birthday greeting.

Ok here we we go again...lol



You Are Comet

A total daredevil, you're the reindeer with an edge!

Why You're Naughty: You almost gave Santa a heart attack when you took him sky diving

Why You're Nice: You always make sure the sleigh is going warp speed

You Are Rudolph

Sweet and shy, you tend to be happiest when you're making someone else happy.

Why You're Naughty: You sometimes stick that nose where it doesn't belong

Why You're Nice: Christmas would be a sad affair without you!

Yeah I am a sap these days....

Heard another great song these past few days. One was posted on our other blog... this one is more suited for this blog. I know that most of my years have been spent in Edmonton but Edson has always been home and always will be. This song gets me thinking of Edson and coming over the over pass... adn yes I usually switch to YR radio even lol. I can feel the gravel under my tires as I head down the road to Lynne and Cliffs.... I can feel how relaxed I become after jsut minutes in the house. Anyways enough babble; heres the song:

Lights Of My Hometown(Aaron Lines/Steven Dale Jones)
They're not really expecting me
But I know where they hide the key, under the welcome mat
There's no better place than that
Don't know how long I've been gone
All I know is it's been too long and I'm off track
That's why I'm coming back

When I see the lights of my hometown
I feel like the world stops spinning 'round
Everything makes sense
Maybe it's the innocenceI
know it's just a few miles down the road
I'm getting there as fast as I can goI can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometown

The static is almost gone
From the station I grew up on
I'm getting closer now
So I turn it up real loud
Funny how a little thing like that
Can make it all come rushing back
They say it's not the same
But to me it will never change

When I see the lights of my hometown
I feel like the world stops spinning 'round
Everything makes sense
Maybe it's the innocence
I know it's just a few miles down the road
I'm getting there as fast as I can goI can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometownI know it's just a few miles down the road
I'm getting there as fast as I can goI can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometown

Why is it that I.....
Can have a hard time remembering what I did last week but I can remember every detail of Dec.9/95. It was a cold awful snowy day... serious amounts of snow. I had to go to work for a few hours in the afternoon ( I worked at the lodge in those days) to finish a gingerbread town I had made for the lodge Christmas party the next day. I remember settling Teddi in my room and telling her to wait for me.... you see she was in labour. Did she wait nope... I arrived home and could hear the squealing on newborn puppies. What a sight they were and she was so proud. It wasn't long before the little odd ball of the litter ( I wish I had a scanner to show you how different he was) had totally stolen my heart then not long after Katy came to have a peek at the puppies and said " he looks like a Buster".... and it stuck. Yup its Busters birthday today. I can't believe how fast the years have gone and its only at moments like this that you truly relaize that time really does fly. A typical 10 year old dog he is not; he still acts like a silly puppy most of the time. He has attitude and really tries to play Jay and I against one another... heaven help us when we have kids. He begrudginly gave up his side of the bed to Jay.... but is now content to sleep betweens us at the foot.... then of course the second Jay gets up he steals his "rightful" place back lol. Happy Birthday Buster... I hope we have many a more to celebrate together.

tis the season....

for acts of random kindness. Jay and I were recipients tonight of the generosity of a stranger. We had just come out of the grocery store and we were loaded down with bags ... standing in the bus shelter freezing our butts off. We see the bus... we get happy... we go out... the bus brakes... slows down... then pulls AWAY. Talk about being right ticked off. So there we are destined to freeze for 15 more minutes. Then here comes this guy... he comes to the shelter peeks in and says I see you guys shivering... would you like a ride. We were blown away. We did accept the ride and he was such a nice man. We thanked him many times over for his kindness and odds are our paths will never cross again. I just wanted to say thanks again to this kind hearted stranger... though he will never see this message our thoughts of thanks and gratitude are there without a doubt. It is moments like these that remind us that there is still some good in human nature :)

It's offically our First Christmas Together......


it's a shame ya can't see how cute that little ornament is. We got our official " Our First Christmas Together" ornament tonight... and woo hoo its Precious Moments to boot. We tried to get a clear shot but this is the best we could do... still its not to shabby for our crappy little web cam. We really do need to get a digital camera. So after shopping we came home and put it on our first tree :). We decorated it last night and what fun it was. I have decorated many a tree in my life and I have sat back and enjoyed it when all the work was done. But last night it felt so much more special... it is amazing how perspectives change when you are doing things with the one you love. I can't wait till the year we have a little one to help us. I am sure that will bring all the more emotion to the process. We took a shot of the tree from across the room with our webcam too... a little blurry in the photo... but boy it sure sparkles and it pretty in real life :)

I recently took my proposed family chat board offline...because my online host has been really unreliable lately...as soon as i find another one that meets the requirements for the invisionboard install,it will be online,but for now i will remove the link to it.....but keep your eyes open for it in the near future.

Ok...I usually don't post much,but since i love Christmas so much,i couldn't resist doing it....LOL





You Are "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"





Gee, if I could only
Have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas."

At Christmas, you are a happy soul who's easy to please.
You're biggest concern is making those around you smile.





Well don't that beat all....LOL

Rudolph is my Christmas Carole...





You Are "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"





Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
You would even say it glows.

For you, Christmas is a mix of tradition and fun.
You're not above strapping on a red blinking nose for a laugh.



What Christmas Carol Are You?
I'll have to get Jay to do his later and post it...

Where does the time go....

It seems like I just posted yesterday. Its hard to believe that in 2 days December will be here and right around the corner comes Christmas. Its gonna be interesting getting ready for Christmas this year. I have next to no time because work has been so busy and I won't be buying all my craft supplies till this weekend... I see many late nights in my future. I am also excited to be heading into a season where Jay and I can start building our own traditions. Many will carry over from our families and our own growing up years... but then we will be building many together too I hope. Its going to be a different experience planning and buying gifts for a husband as opposed to picking up small trinkets and creating crafts as I have always done. ANd speaking of traditions I better go start hunting for a Green Bean Casserole recipe... yup green bean casserole will be added to our tradional Christmas meal in order to honor one of Jay's family traditions. I only hope I can make it half as good as his mom did.

All applicants inquire within uterus ASAP!!

We are alive....

Really we are lol. It is amazing how fast the past two weeks has gone. Life around our house is pretty much the same as always. Work for me is nuts... but I'd rather be working tons of hours instead of getting the few I had at my last job. We are in the process of filing the sponsership stuff for Jay. What a pain in the ass that is... but it will be worth it in the end. He applied to get his birth certificate... UGH what a pain. They told us one thing then when we did it they called and said no we need it this way... it is so annoying dealing with government agencies. I'm just glad we have the unlimited long distance to the states so we aren't paying through the teeth to talk to idiots!

As for the rest of this family of mine.... Lynne and Cliff celebrated 26 years; how amazing is that! I only hope that Jay and I can be half as successful as they have been in our marriage. Katy and Steve heard the baby's heart beat, Glenn and Marilyn both had birthdays. Life is moving along at a happy pace :)

I will try and post more often. Heck just getting online more often would be great. I check my mail, pop by my board then flop on the couch to snuggle with Jay before heading off to bed to gear up for the next day lol. I have however made it to level 8-4 of Zuma and my little bit of downtime is being filled with my obsession to get on to the next level lol :)

Off to add a link to a friends blog... be sure to pop by there to. Its the TTC Rollercoaster. We met on the fertility board and are going through this journey to become mommies together lol.

So I have been thinking...
Scarey yes I know... but I have been. Today would have been Mom's birthday... and oh how our family has changed this last while. She has been on my mind so much this past few days and today I really took the time to wonder what she would say about all the happenings. She would now be a great-granny two times over and anxiously awaiting her third great grand child. She would have gained another son in law... and God only knows how she would have reacted to the way Jay came into my life lol. And knowing her she would have pretended to hate him... while loving him the way the rest of us do all the while. She would have seen her daughter renew wedding vows after 25 amazing years with the man who has been one of the greatest gifts to this family. She would have seen her son make some huge steps on his road to sobriety. All in all this last year has been one of the greatest yet. I wish she was here to celebrate with us but in my heart I know shes looking down and smiling. Happy Birthday Mom... I love and miss you always!!

We are expanding....

Our blog sites that is. We created another blog dedicated directly to our missions to get healthy. Come on over and check out Healthstyles of the not so rich and famous and root us on as we embark on this journey!

Advantages to the bus.........

Yup I admit it, there is actually some good things about taking the bus.

  1. No scrapping frost off car windows
  2. Being on the bus that is holding up the traffic; not following the bus holding up traffic
  3. Not driving in rush hour PERIOD!
  4. Not having to fill the car up with gas... one of the things I hated the most
  5. Enjoying my muffin and coffee from Tim's at a leisurely pace... not trying to fit it in at red lights
  6. Cat naps when the morning comes to early
  7. People watching... thats pure entertainment right there
  8. Finally getting caught up on reading the many books I have

So the next time I whine... remind me about this post and the day that I actually decided taking the bus wasn't all that bad :)

Back to the working world....

Well that week off was way to short lol. I started my new job today... I think its gonna prove to be interesting. The staff seem to be pretty cool and the clients will be fun and very challenging a the same time... oh well at least I shouldn't be bored. Looks like my hours are going to vary from week to week and I have to pull some weekends BLECK. I will be enjoying travels on the bus to the tune of just over an hour each way and I have a six block walk. .. and while in the nice weather that is a short distance I bet I break speed walking records when the -30's hit. I am still fighting my cold... nothing I seem to be doing is making it go away and let me tell ya it has over stayed its visit. Welcome to Monday!!!!!

Sunday, October 23, 2005

Add yourself.....

To our frapper. Whats a frapper you ask... well its a map that puts markers on all the locations that people enter. Yet another fun thing I ahve pulled of our board. So whether you are family and friends who pop by all the time or someone who has found us through a blog search... add you name. We'd love to see where you are :)

Is that a light I see.....

Another interesting day. I woke up to an email from my ex boss still disputing what she owed me and the rules from Employment Standards. After a another email fired back to her I head out and jumped on the bus to get to a job interview. Well wouldn't it be my stinking luck this week... they decide to detach some of the LRT cars. UGH... I was on a tight back to back schedule to get to the interview on time. Get to my next transfer point to see my bus pulling away. I went to a few of the busses seeking out the one that would get me the closest. I arrived 5 blocks from my final destination and walked faster than I thought possible without running. I got there 5 minutes late but they were fantastic. The interview went great... back on the bus for another hour I go LOL. I met one of the clients from the agency I had jsut interviewed at. She was really sweet and lots of fun to talk to. Not long after arriving home I get a call from the admin assisant at my old job. It would seem I was gee RIGHT and they had to pay me out! She let me know I could pick up my check on Thursday. Right behind that came a call from my interview. I got the job!!!! WOO HOO. I have no real details til I go for orientaion on Thursday morning. I know I am a Community Support Worker but that's about it... but enough for now. I flet totally snowed under less than a week ago and little by little the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. Its gonna be a lean few weeks around here but at least I have Jay to go throuhg it with me. It feels good knowing I have a job that will ahve steady hours and a steady pay check. I am also proud of myself for not backing down to my ex boss and sticking with it til I got what I deserved!

Monday, October 17, 2005

Unemployed.....

For the moment anyways. My boss decided to cancel my shifts during my notice period ARRRGHHHHH. After few calls to her and to Employment standards I am waiting to hear her final decison. She has to let me owrk this week or pay me out. As much as the pay out would be nice... I could get paid to look for work; I hope she lets me work so I can take the time to say good bye to my kids. The last few months of this job have given me nothing but head aches so I am not surprised really that she is doing this...but it still frustrates me to no end. I had an interview if you want to call it that this morning.... no questions at all other than what I want for pay and she didn't ask for references but I could start right away... kinda scarey. I am going to one tomorrow morning that will likely be shift work but I can handle that becasue the hours and pay are really good. Oh the joys...on days like this I just wish I was back in high school where my burning issues were cleaning my room and passing my classes

Lets move it higher........

I just thought I would share that I looked our our trivia groups' standing. For all the tournaments played yesterday we ranked #5 in the top 10 within trivia groups of our size. WOO HOO we rock!!!!! Let's see how high we can get that number :)

And the family grows .....

So it would appear I am a Great- Aunt again; on Friday October 14, 2005 at 8:16pm Antaya Lynne Marie Cameron joined our family; she's 6lbs 11ozs and 20inches long! Congratulations Amanda and Dave! Welcome to our very loving yet a little crazy family Antaya!

And the car went boom........

Its been quite the week to say the least. I have been fighting a cold which has now found its way to Jay... and he can keep it :). Tis the seasons for sure and in my line of work I am always bringing bugs home LOL.

Thursday was a simply a day from hell. It started off with me sleeping in, continued to the car breaking down and sending billowing black clouds of smoke into the St.Albert sky, on to a confrontation with my boss and then after much thought and discussion deciding enough was enough and the decision to quit my current job.

Friday seemed to bring a little sunlight. I maneuvered the St. Albert transit system with ease:), had a great conversation with one of the families I work with about my decision to leave my job and her support and understanding with make the transition a little easier, managed to figure out the buses from St.Albert to Kingsway Garden Mall and then finally to home amazingly easy ( thanks Dad for all that training when I was a kid!), then I arrived home to find a few call backs from resumes I had sent out Thursday night. I have an interview Monday morning and the job looks really cool and the bonus is that it is with walking distance from home :). Kathy met me at the mall to keep me company as I walked to the Center for Education to apply for a job. We had a great visit and as always it was nice to have company on my trek.

Saturday morning I had to be a part of a group putting on a powerpoint presentation... it went very well. We got lots of positive feedback and several people told us they learned a lot... it made getting up at 6am on a Saturday worthwhile for sure. Saturday afternoon was spent rescuing the car ( thank you for your help Katy and Steve and thank you for the use of the van Dan and Carmen). We have the car safely settled in its stall for now with a bucket under it to catch the oil that seems to be pouring out. We have yet to figure out where it is coming from as it didn't start to leak until it was hoisted up to be towed???

Here we are at Sunday. Al drove me around to get time sheets signed and then off to Walmart... I so hate the crowds there the weekend. We hit Tim Hortons ( like we could go anywhere else with Al lol) and I have found a new addiction... the Hazelnut smoothies. I tried to look them up on the Tim's website but they aren't listed yet. I am sure with as good as they taste they are gonna be very bad for me lol.

After a lot of discussion Jay and I decided to park the car for a little bit and join the bus world. We figure it will help us get ahead on cash and it will also allow us time to save up for what ever repairs we are looking at. We will be doing lots of walking I am sure... but we have so much so close that it will be easy to get what we need and for those far away trips like Walmart we can always beg a ride or take a taxi :)

As rough as this week was I was once again reminded of how much support I have out there. I have a fantastic family who once again pitched in to help and offer support, I have super friends who lent and ear and offered words of encouragement after the confrontation with my boss. And most importantly at this point I have an amazing husband who once again has gone beyond the call of duty and done everything he could to make me feel better... from hugs and backrubs to running to the store to buy me chocolate.

Off to whip up Jay's favorite supper of spaghetti and then we are settling in to watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition and then the Family Guy Marathon. Who knows maybe I'll throw together a batch of cookies too

Come one Come all to our Daily Trivia Challenge...

I am in a trivia tournament with my one of my online groups and we are having a blast. You play once a day and your scores accumulate. I figured it would be something that we all would enjoy too so come and join in the fun and see who's the smartest of the bunch. I tested one set of questions and they were really hard so I dropped down a level. As we all become masters I will challenge us by uping the level. Hope to see you all there. Just hit " The Kelly's Trivia Challenge" under our links :)

Curse of the thyroid.....

Well any of you who were wondering if I was Pregnant .... I am not :( I went to the doctor on Friday and he thought for sure I would be too and did a blood screen; while he was at it he decided to do a full blood work up on me. I got a call to go back today so Jay and I headed out. We got the news that the PG test was negative and then he told me that my thyroid was way out. Normal levels are 0.3-4 and my levels are 6.36. He started me on Synthroid which I will fill on payday and I go back in 8 weeks for follow up and more blood work. I was on Synthroid as a kid and once I was making my own decisons I went off.... in retrospect I am thinking that was a bad choice. Oh Well we can fix it now. We asked the DR about the effects of thyroid on getting pregnant and he said it didn't matter and that didn't sound right to me. So home to the computer... and there is tons of sites that explain how much the thyroid does affect fertility and I also posted to my fertility board and discovered that thyroid issues make for a high risk pregnancy as well as potentially causing birth defects. UGH. So time to find a real DR and quit messing around with the medi centers though I have to say the DR I had today is not the one I normally see and my regular guy seems to know what hes doing.... but either way its high time to figure out why we aren't getting pregnant... cause I sure ain't getting any younger lol

Happy Thanksgiving...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend. I have spent much of today reflecting and am simply amazed at the changes in my life from this time last year. I have much to be thankful for and am so utterly blessed to have Jay and all of my family in my life. I think of all the transitions and changes we have all made and how much closer we all seem to become year after year and how awesome it is to be a part of a family that great!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Teddi and Belle lol. Our oldest and youngest furbabies share their special day.... just ten years apart. Its hard to believe that Teddi has been with me for 11 years.... where does the time go? She's showing her age now especially on the cold days and has fallen totally in love with Jay and has become very devoted to him... and he to her. The night before we got married she was upset and whining and couldn't make her old bones work to jump up on the couch... so he got down on the floor with her. Its no wonder I love him so much. Then there is the devil cat... Miss Belle. She turns one today... its amazing she lived to see this day. She truly has been a test of patience as she has grown but then there are those moments when she crawls up, snuggles in and purrs that you melt and forgive all her sins. Good thing shes so adorable.

Thank You, Thank you, Thank you....

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of our family for helping us pull off our Wedding on October 1,2005. In the span of a few short days you all jumped in to make our day as special as possible and for that we are eternally grateful. From asking perfect strangers about condoms, to making Jay pick a honeymoon night accessory, to sharing our very first dance as man and wife... you all helped us to create memories that will live with us for always. We love you all!!!!!!

And here we are......

Well hello all. We finally decided to join the blog world and create a page. This little adventure will be a work in progress so check back often and see what new and excting things we have learned lol. Dan and Carmen.... you seem to have mastered the art of the blog so you can count on a few pleads for help along the way!

Welcome to our own little place on the Web
