Zooming into sleep, feet first....ZOOM

Refering to my many strange phrases of the past few days. I was imagining I was gonna just dive right into bed and instantly zonk out! Hence zooming to sleep.
Chunking myself is another phrase I've uttered.
Obviously I do need to zoom to sleep!!
By this I  had meant being only able to organize small chunks of time. Morning time aka: 1,2,3, GO!!,
afternoon aka: sit at work and think about everything that should be getting done,
evening aka: work or bust a move packing time,
late evening aka: should be sleeping rather than packing.

Apparently chunking is an actual psychological term. Huh!

Living in a mountain of boxes, pondering why I have so many things. Not getting enough sleep and speaking nonsense. C'est la vie the past few days. And thus tomorrow begins the heavy lifting part! Muscles...engage!

Where is Mary Poppins when you need her??



But... a big bucket of gratitude to my helper, and for the next chapter in our many adventures! Wish us luck!

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us"

Yawn~ Oh, why hello there Monday! Hello busy week! I've been SO busy lately. My stuff is literally EVERYWHERE! It's in boxes, at my loves house, in bags, in piles. Scattered about, just like my brain! Between moving and packing and working...I'm not sure where I left my head at. I'm grateful for a place to move to, that my girlie is back home, for YOUR big, strong arms to hold me and support me when the moving on is hard, for friends and family and their help and support, for free boxes, and garbage bags. For live music, freedom of speech, and dancing. Sunshine and sandwiches.  I'm thankful!

I'll be back....when I find my way through the mess!!

Dirty Feet and A Sunburn

I've been owning the days lately! Hells ya! Waking up early, biking everywhere my little purplely bicycle will take me, outdoor swimming, growing big muscles, new hats, exchanging pay check for bills, continuing to work so I may earn the exchange papers, krusading in the name of kindness, taking photographic memories, catching frogs, flying through puddles, and generally avoiding packing at all costs.

I'm telling you kid, this is the great life

Happy-Go-Lucky

So, as previously mentioned, it was my Love and I's 6 months. And what a lucky chicky I am! Spoiled so rotten!

Thank you to my love for this post on his blog, Average Life Spam. He is hilarious and an amazing writer. I admit to being totally biased...but right!  So go now and check it out!
I am thank-ful for delicious greek pizza and red wine at our lil pizza place, that we were able to give the homeless, hungry man outside some slices, coming home to a mess-free home (thank you my love for that surprise!!!) with fleurs on the table, a bottle of the first red we shared, and a wonderful card!! It was just the perfect day, and you're the perfect one for me!
I am thankful for morning bike rides to work, looking forward to live music and new friendships tonight, memories of great days gone by, pigtail braids, hats, finding what  ya need where ya least expect it, Saturday newspapers, and confidence...what a wonderful thing! Life is so wonderful right now. Couldn't be luckier or happier!

600 Months

Thank you for my beautiful daughter who turned 13 yesterday. You are truly the most amazing thing in my life, and I couldn't be more proud of the young lady you're becoming. You are talented, kind, courageous, strong, hilarious, gorgeous, a great friend, animal lover, passionate, and most importantly you are always you. Happy Birthday.

To my love, my soulmate. You have made the past 6 months the best of my life. You truly have made me feel so alive, and are everything I could have ever wanted and more. I am the luckiest, most blessed woman alive, and I can't wait to spend the next 600 months and more with you at my side.

Thank you!

Why does that cat smile like that? ~ Alice

"Cus he's a Chesire Cat...that's why!" ~ Duchess

Or maybe he had days off like I just did. Mmmmm....Days off in the middle of the week make me smile like this guy!! Well...perhaps less creepy..but my smile is big nonetheless. Today I am thankful for home-made food. I made carrot-curry soup, mushroom/zuchinni alfredo with peach crisp for dessert for my Juan. He brought over a wonderful red which I adore, and this soy icrecream we found! It was delish! I planted my rosemary, weeded the garden, mowed (make that swathed!) the lawn, watched True Blood (best episode ever!!) Sex and the City 2 (shoulda just stopped at 1), while I packed 6 boxes of stuff up for the move. I am grateful I was able to do so much of what I love. Then I got to do even more of Sarastuff after supper. We toured EVERYWHEREs on our bikes. AND spread some kindness around too. Something I've been waiting to do....take some chalk along and write random quotes on sidewalks!! We also spread some Free Compliments and BREATHE poster around town too! I just adore spreading the love!! It feels good! A nice bath and I'm ready for a good snuggle! I am so grateful for such a marvelous day!!

Summer Sara

Ya...when I say EVERYDAY, i mean everyday I am not doing something else. Summer is meant to be enjoyed...OUTSIDE...so ya...that's where I'll be. In the past few days there has been much summer fun going down. Swimming and making JAWS! noises, racing into the water, waking up at the crack of dawn to run in the lake, but chickening out and opting for coffee instead, slow roasted breakfasts, chasing deer ( I wanted a new pet) fishing, scavenger hunts, long walks and vampire churchs.... gin in hand, living in your swimsuits, campfire smells, roasted marshmallows. Cheers to Family!

Weekends are da bomb diggity!

As I am headed out of town ASAP so I can hit the beach and knock back some smores at our campsite, I have to do this a bit earlier than normal!! I shall just say THANK YOU WEEKEND!! You are the bestestest! Hope everyone has a kickass one themselves, and I shall be back Sunday with delights of our adventures!

Final Countdown

Huffalump. That is my word de jour. I just like it and it's fun to say in your head. Or outloud for that matter. This huffalump hump day I am quite enamored with azithromyicin (also fun to say ~hard to spell) (I has a sinus cold  with attitude!!), telling stupids they are stupid, counting down 2 months today to Grexy back, udon noodle soup homemade by me, new herb Rosemary for my herb garden, baby white roses - Russian cut is the name actually, procastinating, cheesy bagels, rest, and upcoming CAMPING!!! Whoot, whooot!

Oh Canada

Thank you to my country. I am one majorly proud Canadian!! Our country is truly outstanding. Thank you to our soldiers who fight to keep our freedom. Thank you for our many parks, lakes, and trees. Thanks for our freedom of speech, that gay people can get married in peace, for our multicultural diversity, for polar bears, and beavers, deer and moose. Not mosquitos though. Thank you for being a safe, and happy place to raise families. Thank you for hockey, and lacrosse. For teaching us to speak French. For health care, CBC, and not being overly commercial all the time! I LOVE this country!! Happy Canada Day to everyone!!
