I like to think that I am a writer... though unaccomplished and lazy...

Sunset from my balcony.

We all know how wishy washy I am.  We all know that I am desperate to find something to hold my place, that is all my own.  But what you don't know is that I have kind of found it, though lazily.  Through this blogging adventure, and since completing my English course last summer I have found a rekindled love for the written, "typed," word.  Even though I am rusty at this whole thing, and I find some days easier to write than others I like to think that I am a writer. 

I remember when I was in school how easily everything seem to come to me, how easily and beautifully a sentence would be created in just pure moments and without struggle.  I remember writing poetry everyday, stories by the ton.  What happened?  What can't I seem to do that now??  Is is just the constant interruptions I seem to get in a day with these kids?  Is it life just getting in my way?  Am I getting in my way? 

I would like to make a promise to myself.  To write.  Just better.  To take the time to really think about each sentence I type.  Granted of course I am not doing a review and all that.  Though I promise to give them and most of my posts some more literary merit.  I shall try that is all I can do.  I am not perfect, I don't plan to pressure myself to write everyday; if I do then I don't think I will end up accomplishing what I came to do.  Now all I have to do is find something good to write about, I am sure it will come to me.  In the mean time I have these blogs, I have all of you and I have your great ideas to help spark some inspiration! 

For those of you who write up a storm, hell who are even published; what do you do, what have you done to be a writer??  Just curious about that defining moment from you to "writer-you" kinda thing. 

I have been bouncing around some ideas on themed days etc to help myself along.  Perhaps using the alphabet to do one, each day can be a different emotion or something.  I have no idea i'm just trying to come up with something fun to do.  I have heard thru the grape-vine about a theoretical "in-law bitch-fest" that I think would be fun.  You know for those of you poor wives that have in-laws that actually read your blogs lol!!

Ending; wish me luck; with my writing and with my job hunting endeavors lol, which I guess I haven't touched on at all in this post till this moment.  For another day I guess.

I have come home!!

So I am finally back online everyone!! Aren't you all soo soo happy!!!??  No need to cry now I know how hard it must have been to live without me lol!!  HA!  Anyways I wanted to recap on my last post to remind you all to FIRE OUT THOSE QUESTIONS!!!   I am dying to answer them.  I am dying to catch up with you all etc.  So moving on from that I wanted to give you a recap on my moving.  We all know that I managed to find an apartment in an older building.  I wanted to share with you the photos from our move!!

Youngest enjoying the move.

our empty living room whilst moving. Bye bye washer and dryer I shall miss you.  You too dishwasher!!!

our hallway packed with boxes.

empty living room again...

our new kitchen horribly colour desperate for paint.  Just like ever other kitchen in Vancouver apartments... small lol!! Plus our building was built in 1965 i think! lol

kids enjoying their new room!!

kitchen filled with our boxes lol!!

still enjoying the room!!

I want to show you more but i'm tired of waiting for these pics to upload lol!!  Plus we also haven't figured out our computer placement so were it is right now is super uncomfortable.  Makes me want to remove my spine.  On other news I now have wireless internet!! so I now have Netflix!! SWEET i'm kinda happy and it is awesome I love it!!

I wanted to take another moment to highlight the things I like about our little run down apartment.

I can now go to my OWN mailbox and get my mail.  I know that is silly but I love getting mail and I love being able to get it to my OWN house now.  I have to e-mail some of you my updated address as of yet but i'll get to it!! lol

I have SSOOOO much more space and my living room is no longer a sardine can!! 

I have a balcony all my own and we are in the upper floors so it is really nice and private. 

We have a storage space!! which we didn't have at the last place.

We got rid or a BUNCH of things which feels great, surprisingly we still seem to have a junk load of stuff!

I have about three different parks within walking distance to my place which is GREAT!!!

I think that is all I can think of at the moment.  I will come up with some more later.  So remember to ask me your questions!!  I don't care if you have one or two or six (unlike i previously outlined) just ask away!!! Looking forward to catching up with all of you !!! xoxoxox

away too long... my return is inevitable and vast approaching

I have been away too long.  The withdrawal from not being around each of you every day is killing me.  So I am happy to announce my complete return to the ranks of blogging by the end of the month.  I am supposed to be getting new internet equipment via mail by the 29^th so hopefully it will be on time.  Nonetheless with moving, waiting for them to finally come into my house to set it all up only to find out (after a week and a half of testing and us complaining that nothing is working etc.), that there was a hardware issue.  Clearly one of our pieces suffered some small battle injuries during our family migration.  Like I said, I’ll just be happy to finally be back in the ring of things once again.  To catch up on things I haven’t had all the time in the world to do etc…

So soon enough you shall see me again.  Soon enough I will be back to reading all of your blogs, all of which I have desperately missed… such a shame how blogging can really rape your data; whilst tethering it to your computer.  Thus why I haven’t be doing it.

What else has been happening with me?!?!  Well you will just have to wait.  Till I can divulge everything in detail, but to hold you over I am imploring you to ask me ONE question each (so make it good.)  It can be about anything or even nothing lol.  I will love you to submit your questions via comment or preferably e-mail, so that I can check right away without raping my data while I am waiting for my internet to be back on track once more.   Think up some good ones and I will dedicate some, hopefully great, posts just to answering them all. 

Till the end of the month!!  I shall be patiently waiting to come back online, hopefully I will still have fingernails and hair at that point in time… if not… expect me to look something between marg and homer lol!!  See you then!!
