Off to See the Wizard

I am SO excited for our trip! I am excited to go to my favorite place on earth, which is my Dad's.(aka, The Wizard due to his massive wizard-like beard and his believe in all things magical) Dad lives on the border of one of the provincial parks, and so there is tons of lush forest, animals, rivers etc.It's like a fairytale land. A place that makes you believe in once upon a time. Plus there is no cell service etc, so all is quiet and no one can bug ya! I am so into quiet!! R & R!! Also, I can't wait to show my Juan where I grew up. I hope he likes it!!  I am also pretty stoked to see one of my bestestst Kim. I haven't been 'home' since last September,and considering I used to go nearly every weekend, that's a very long time. Just to leave this place behind for a bit is awesomeness. I plan to leave my worries here too...they will be here when I get back!! I will be sure to have plenty to be thankful for and will fill you in upon my return! Safe journeys to all!

Like shooting stars

Maybe it's my summer solstice wishes I planted coming true, Or maybe it's just time for me to have some luck for a change. Here's a list of awesomeness:

1.House SOLD!!  It feels like the weight of that house has been lifted off my shoulders! I like how light I feel without that.

2. Renee's been doing alot better. We have gotten along, without any MAJOR drama for a good couple weeks. I like!

3. Upcoming holidays with my Juan, to my favorite place in the whole world, "home".

4. Spending time with friends and family! J'adore!

5. My hair is growing long!

6. Fresh starts abound everywhere!

7. I am in love, it's summer, and there's so much to look forward too!

8. Almost time for my appt with gut specialist! FINALLY! I have already self-diagnosed, but just need the guys with the prescription pad to comfirm! Good health...I am on the way!

9. Last day of school. Yippee...no more purchasing of school snax for 2 whole months, and no trying to wake the beast at 8 a.m! I shall be arriving at work on time for 2 whole months!

10. Sleep. Finally got some good rest. It's amazing how much a good sleep can help!

Eye Got My Mind Set On You

Thanks to the good people who take care of others.

Pour a little sugar on me huney...

I would like to thank the makers of OFF! Deep Woods. I may begin bathing in this stuff. Whatever keeps the nasty skitters off me! And the makers of After-bite...cuz the blood suckers find just that one spot that you didn't get the Deep Woods on....like my NOSE! As if!  And thank-you to The City for deciding to fog. I hope that helps. Other than the buzz of skitters, today was totally kick-ass. Thanks to yoga, my brosiff for bringing my car back (now someone...please buy it!!) , True Blood Season 3, Old Skewl Kids Classics,  and that Sunday is a bit closer!

MUAH!!

Sara

Their, There my love...

I just read the Wikipedia definition of Angels. It made no sense to me.

Sarapedia Version Angel: An angel is a guiding and protecting soul. Be it human or spirit. Animal perhaps. The odd coincidences that have no other explanation. That dream that just seemed all too real. The right person at just the right time. A friend who says just the right thing. That little voice that tells you to pay attention when you've taken you're eye off the road. That hug right when you needed it.

Today, a thank you to mine. My Grandparents. I miss you. Thank you for keeping an eye out for me. I hope I make you proud while you're watching from where you are.

My human angels. My family, and friends. Thank you for being in my life.

Always & Forever,

Sara

Hot Summer Nights

Yippeeeeee...it's Tuesday. Tuesday was pretty swell for me actually. Not much goings on. Which is a-ok. Drama free is sweet! Highlights include but are not limited to pedicures and sweet shiny, red polish. My feetsies are twinkling with happy. New shoes from a co-worker who got a size too small also made me toes jig a happy dance. Yoga in the morning, with accompaning sunshine helped Tuesday go down smooth. Work was uncomplicated...my lil long meekend did me well. Bath in fresh herb (from my new lil herb garden!:) lavendar was a nice wind down...ahh. A great love note from YOU! Everyday is wonderful with you. Maybe Tuesday's will grow on me after all...

Live, Love, Laugh

Today.

You fill me up

Ahhhhh.....lovely me-kend! How awesome you are! For Fathers, especially my own awesome Fajha, and those that are so important and influential, summer sunshine, flowers, wine, shredded hash browns, thunder showers, dancing up a storm, long bike rides, and bike baskets, red velvet cake, potato/spinach salad, cook-outs, and getting soaked in the rain. Martini's and herbs, coffee, and coffee grounds, soy ice cream, smell of rain and camp. Sigh...

Birthday Suit

Severe thunderstorms!!!!!EEEEEEEEawesome! I like 'em. Not that we need more rain but thunderstorms row my boat. There was some flood warnings, in which case I wish I had a boat...but I doubt that'll happen. Er. So ya...just been waiting for my mini-break to arrive...I am gonna mini-break it out...gonna get me some q-t with Juan, a facial, and all things ME...since it's my LONG me-kend! Also my date of birth is tomorrow. I shall have a very merry unbirthday bash, which will be all kinds of stellar. Oh the anticipation is at an all time HIGH!! I can hardly be thankful for much when all i think about is MEKEND!! But last few days have been ah-ight. Hot summerish weather, back into my yoga, kisses, calm and cuddles morning and night, and green juice. Oh ya..SHE's been getting up well...that rocks hardcore. Gotta go me it up! Happy Smurfday ME!!!

I wish I may...

I am thankful for back rubs, and face pets, waking up to this perfect day, yoga, (my new kundalini practice is proving to be invigorating), wine gums, hammocks, naps, and early to beds, sleep catch up is where it's at. I am thankful for sisters, and yummy smells, and income tax. I am thankful for wishes that come true and unanswered prayers. Thanks for knowing when I didn't.

Fairly Many Things to be pumped about..

Yikes....I have been deliquent. It's finally feeling summer-ish around here. So when the sun is out....so is we. Along with sunshine, I have enjoyed much last few days...fair rides, mini donuts, girlfriends, freaks, Tankini's, Fred Penner, and Donnie Wahlberg, cotton candy, people watching, long dog walks, new hard drives, cheesecake, f-bombs well timed, crunching things, karma, karma and karma, crossing fingers, clearing up odds and ends, salmon on bbq, beers, chip fries, balloon foo, hot pink balloon guitars, and naps.

Walmart Steals Souls

Sunday already!! Awwwwws. If it must be so....then alrighty. But I am procastinating...I am procastinating a Walmart venture. I dislike wal-f-n-mart. Alot. But I do like, BBQ's with me pals, chums I haven't seen in a while, Labbatt Blue, looking forward to visiting my mudder, potato salad, my new juicer, and juicing everything, your bum in those jeans, toast n' butter, thunderstorms, sleeping, kids day, sunday family nights, Sky.fm, movies, special coffee day, and I'm trying to think of more so I don't have to go there.....ugh...gotta. Wish me luck...no...wish all the people there luck since I will be scowling all the way...

But....I should be thankful

Today....this is my face...

I have been having a big frown kinda week.

I know, I know...it's all about attitude, how you choose to look at something, positivity.

And most of the time I strive for that....

And I'll keep on a tryin'..but for now I am indulging in a wee pity party.

If I said otherwise I'd be lying. And I hate liars.

So....in the name of honesty at all times, I will tell ya the truth so help me.

Sometimes life totally SUCKS!!

And sometimes you're allowed to be a big sucky baby about it.

Every once in awhile, I give myself the right to be angry...

But... then you gotta 'suck' it up and remind yourself it could always be worse.

Anyway...here's my Top Suck Piles in no particular order and a response for each aka: my attempt at sunnyside up.

Raising teenagers = suckage

But.... she'll always be my baby no matter what!

Going thru this divorce=Total suck

But... because of it, I have a chance at a happier life with my soulmate.

My Sickness=High suck factor

Butt....
Uhm..ya...still sucks.

Well.....I guess i could get stung by a bee and uhm...look like this....

That would be worse.


Selling my home....or not yet as the case may be....

The moving to who knows where/who knows when=sucks like a wood tick or vampire

But....on the Plus side=Fresh start!

Stupid people all over the place=suckerdoodle

But...at least I'm not one of them.

My Job=super sucks

But...I have one.

And it's not this one....

Ex Monsters=sux big time

But.... I have found my Juan and only Juan.

Weather=f-n sucks

But....nothing you can do... dance anyways.

No cash dollars=$uck

But I know what truly matters.

Time Out Chair

I gave myself a time-out. Needed to just be in the present for awhile. But am sitting here, with my usual tummy troubles, can't sleep, so propped myself up and am here, in this present moment, thinking back on all the things I have to be thankful for since Saturday...and whew.....it's mucho things! Very many. And that's a good thing...to have so many things to be grateful for. So here in lies, only a partial list: Sushi, sandwiches, snuggles, canvassers, intense cliffhangers, yoga, bike rides uphill, sore legs, massages, epsom salts, long walks, cinnamon buns, Disney, candies, and sunshine for finally showing up here!
