Wow. I haven't updated since MARCH?

2009-05-26T21:23:20Z

Well, that's just crazy.

I'm just not too interested in updating here lately. Meh. I'm mostly on Twitter these days.

Anyhoot. The restaurant my sister worked at burned down last week. Sorta works for us both in the sense that the kids are getting out of school right away, Trouble this week, and Angelface next month. This way, my sister can drop me off at work and they can go hang out at the lake all day if they like which is all she wants to do all summer anyway. And I hate doing that. Meh.

Also? My birthday is coming. Wondering what I should doooooooooooo. *sigh*

Van loves his land as much as I love mine. Replace the mountains with the prairies and this song could be about my rez. So much love for this song.

I just broke my glasses. I haven't had a new pair in 3 years, and I
my insurance at work covers them, yet, I haven't bothered to make the
time. As long as my sister can glue them back together, I will be
making an appointment ASAP and driving into NB to get a new pair. :S

Time keeps marching on ...

OMG! Just a mere 3 weeks - that's 21 DAYS - until my wee baby, my wee swee' Angelface turns TEN YEARS OLD, you guys! *sobs* MY BABY! She's growing up! When did this happen?! HOW did this happen? I'm freaking out here!

*sigh* She's getting so tall and so pretty. :( And she's so smart. I can't stand it. Someone stop her from growing up. I want her to be my tiny baby forever. :'(

If you could jump in a time machine and travel back to any point in history, where would you go?

Probably back to pre-contact North America. I would love to know how Plains Cree and Mohawk societies dealt with things like the criminal element (my dad's a lawyer and that part of me has always been curious), especially since Crees were mostly nomadic and Mohawks were sedentary farmers. Oh, and I'd love to see things like marriage, and whether there was divorce. And how education was handled. Ooh, and foods, and clothing. What sorts of moral codes were there? How much of this stuff was truly influenced by European morals and standards? I'd love to see the differences between the lifestyles of my two cultures.

Yeah.

And I finished this toque last night while watching the Oscars. (yay! for Heath!) It's a present for M. :) She liked it.

Also? I did not realize I had that many freckles. :P

Also part ii? I love my new camera! *glee!*

Well, maybe not literally, but I am allowed to brag. lol

Angelface has a 100% average in science class right now! w00t! *ish
proud* Her math mark continues to leave something to be desired but
we are continuing to work on it.

I am hoping to dangle the proverbial carrot of science camp this
summer as an incentive to get her to improve her math mark. Here's
hoping it works.

GOOD NEWS!

That guy who was going to take the puppy called to say his landlord won't let him take the puppy! *glee!* We get to keep her! :D

Her name is Puppy ...

2009-01-26T18:23:58Z

I don't know if I mentioned it before ... probably not, but Daisy Duke had a litter of puppies before Christmas. It was just before the cold snap and all seemed cool. But then when the cold snap happened, she couldn't nurse them and she ended up abandoning them, and they died. All except one. My daughter saved one and she's been living inside the house with us for the last two weeks. She's a little black and white dog, and I'm pretty sure she's the runt. Either that or her growth was stunted for whatever reason.

She is soooooooo small compared to her parents! She is just the most adorable little sweet-natured little puppy! So quiet and so happy. She's smart too!

I think I'm getting attached. Which is bad because she's spoken for. Was before she was even born. See, Daisy's last batch, my sister was talking about them and some guy who works on the rigs was here and he overheard my sister mention that the pups are border collie cross mutts, and she showed him pictures and he said he'd love one from the next litter. So since she's the only survivor, she's going to him. He said he'd be by to pick her up in a couple of weeks.

But I loffs her. She's so cute and lovely!

See?!

Isn't she perfect? That's her hugging her teddy bear! She always finds her way to my feet and sleeps there. She reminds me of Pixie in her temperment. I think that's why I love her so much. :)

Oh man. This is bad. *sigh* I thought, if we don't name her, it won't be so bad, but I think she thinks her name is Puppy now, because she's responding to that. lol And she gets so excited to see us in the morning and stuff. Ugh. What to do, what to do. We already have 3 dogs. All of whom we love. Well, except for Roosevelt. Well, we love Roosevelt. Just ... in a different way. It's a "special" kind of love. lol Because Roosevelt is a "special" kind of dog. lol

Oh! I should take a picture of Roosevelt for you guys! Man, that dog got crazy big on us! I don't think she's finished growing yet either!

I'm still kind of pissed at my mom for that too. Geez.

Anyhoo ... Keep Puppy? Y/N? *sigh*

It is too friggin cold outside

2009-01-24T19:15:33Z

Holy crap, it is cold out there! -42$ with the windchill! And I have
to go to town! *sobs* we ran out of milk and I wanted to make some
hummus.

*cries* Can it be spring now?

It's official ...

I nearly burst into tears when President Obama finished his speech and the crowd broke out into chants of "Yes we can!"

And how much do I love that he included us non-believers in his speech? A lot. It wasn't just about the Jews, the Christians, the Muslims ... we have a place in the world too. So, thank you Mr. President, thank you. You may not be the leader of the country I consider home, but I really appreciate you. ♥

A Change is Gonna Come ...

2009-01-20T16:06:27Z

Today is a big day. Not just for the Americans, but for the whole world. :)

My daughter is so excited. But she was disappointed to learn that the school had their internet cut off yesterday due to an insane number of viruses in their network. I'm hoping they took care of it yesterday in time for the broadcast today because I know her teacher had been planning on watching the live feed online today during class. :s

I'm pretty excited. I'm watching live on CTV.ca for the Canadian perspective. ;) So far, I've learned that there's a tradition where the First Ladies and the President and President-Elect ride from the White House to the ceremonies in limos together. And that the outgoing President and First Lady climb into the limo on the right side and the First Lady and President-Elect enter the limo on the left. Isn't that neat? You learn something new every day!

In honour of this day, I thought I'd post this video by Jana Mashonee featuring Derek Miller on guitar. It's Sam Cooke's song A Change is Gonna Come, which I think is very appropriate on this day in so many ways. :) It's a beautiful rendition of the song, and the video is beautiful as well. And it has Derek, who always makes me happy. :P

Is it spring already?

2009-01-16T20:29:06Z

Doods, it's sooooooooo warm outside! 2C! CRAZY! In January no less!

I am so playing outside all day tomorrow! Supposed to be nice like this all weekend. :D

YOU GUYS!

2009-01-13T20:53:24Z

My dad went to the airport for me, and they found my mitten!! He said they told that normally they throw away single mittens, but since it was so unusual looking, they kept it in case anyone claimed it. I'm so glad I called! FINALLY.

:P

*dances*

I'm sooooooooo happy! He's coming down to the rez tomorrow, so my mitties will be together once again! *twirls*
