When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious

Today I had to go into Vancouver for an appoitment.  As I was pulling into the parking garage, I could hear the two men working there talking.  After realizing that the most adorable, old man was talking to me, I started to listen.  He was saying how girls always look there best and that I looked very pretty today, and then he said, "you have a lucky man".  Uhhh...First things first, there is no man, but I will accept your compliment, and perhaps lunch..on you. ;)

Dear Man Walking through Price Smart wearing your pajamas (including a black fuzzy house coat),

Is it really that hard to put on some jeans, or at the very least, a jacket before you walk out the door?  You not only look ridiculous, but you are also making everybody around embarassed for you.
That is all.  Thank-you and Happy Holidays.
Sincerly yours,

Jubes.

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

It's been one year.  On this very day, one year ago, I was awakened by a phone call from my boss at work telling me that the hospital called there and wanted me to get to the hospital as soon as I could.  I thought nothing of it.  I knew I had to be there that morning to renew the T.V in his room and I just thought that he called my work thinking I was there.  As my brother and I drove to the hospital, I was angry because I thought that my dad wanted us to get him McDonalds for breakfast (which he shouldn't have been eating in the first place), and that maybe he thought that I had forgotten about him, which I didn't I just wasn't in a hurry to get there.  When we got to the hospital we began walking towards his hospital room, but when we got there, there was a note on the door telling us to speak with a nurse before we went in, so we did.  After finally getting the attention of the nurse, she then informed my brother and I that our father had passed away earlier that morning.  I thought that she was lying.  My brother wanted to go in the room to see him, I decided not to and waited outside and sat on a chair and the nurse brought me a box of tissues and a glass of water, but for some reason I didn't cry.  I just sat there.  I was thinking about the day before.  All of us kids were there and had spent the day with him in the hospital.  His brother ended up suprising him and we left so they could talk.  When we all left the hospital, I wasn't going to give my dad a hug, and he had to ask for one, and I am really happy he did; I thought that he was fine.  I don't really remember much of what else happened that day, I think I drove my sister to the ferry to go back home.  I remember being at home and getting a call from my brother asking me to pick him up from the hospital.  When I got there, I had this really weird urge to run up and give him a hug and kiss good night, but I didn't and just told myself that I would see him tomorrow, even though I knew it would have ment the world to him if I did.  I would give anything to go back in time and do that, now I have to live with the fact that the last time I ever talked to my dad was over the phone getting in a fight and him hanging the phone up on me.  I know it's not my fault, but in some degree I feel like it is.  However, I still find that as the days go on, it doesn't get easier.   I still have my moments of bursting into tears, sadness, and depression, and when I do I just snuggle up with my puff-a-lump, like I did when I missed him when I was younger, and just think of all the good times we had together until I feel better.  There are also times that I think of him, and want to cry, but I just can't...in some way, I still don't believe that he is gone.  For some moments in life, there are no words; only tears, which are God's gift to us.  Our holy water; they heal us as they flow.  Dad, if you can hear me, I just want you to know that I am thinking of you.  If you were sad or down, I would send you loving thoughts of sunnier days so that instead of chaos, you may have serenity and peace.  And in the words of Asher Roth, "...Happiness is not about getting what you want all the time, it's about loving what you have, so get ready it's a new day."
I love you dad, and I will always be your little girl. ♥



Fail No. 2 : Home-made Nutella

Long story short, I attempted to make my own nutella at home.  I still don't know why I decided to do this as it is cheaper to just buy it from the store, but I did it anyway.  Let's just say it didn't turn out exactly as planned..it still tastes good, but the texture and colour turn me off so much that I have absolutely no intentions of eating it. 

I think I'll stick with the store bought version.

So. Many. Salmon.

This weekend, I went back to the Shuswap with my sister and her daughter to visit my mama for Thanksgiving. On Saturday, we went up to the Salmon Run which, for me personally, I do not understand what the big deal is. 1. It smells bad. 2. It's boring. 3. The fish just sit there, it's not like they're doing anything magical. and 4. When you have sisters like mine, they drop your camera in the water. Luckily, this was not my new camera, and I have to admit, it was kind of a joint effort. When she thought I had it in my hands, I thought she was still holding on to it and it slipped out of our hands and into the River. I stared at it for a few moments in dis-belief, before bending over and picking it up out of the water. It didn't work for a few days, but this morning when I put the battery back in, it was working better than it was before, so maybe it was a good thing...?  Here are some visuals of the Salmon Run so you can see how uber exciting it was and how much you missed...

Fishy Fishy Fishies!

hahaha, so these people, a mother and son I am guessing, decided to walk throughout the park in their Christmas Pajamas!! No Jokes here peoples, I only speak the truth.

This is where my camera fell in the water. ):

Those were just a few of the highlights from my salmon run experience this year, there are more to come :D ... an I will also be posting about my Thanksgiving with in the next few days, I just wanted to put something up before I went to  bed...I have to get up at 5:30 am tomorrow morning ):  I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!!
Now you tell me, how do you like your salmon?

Magic in a Cup?

However, I continued to make it anyways.



Et Voila! le pain aux banane! (:



Have I Lost my Muchness?

This morning I woke up. After I woke up, I then preceded to get myself out of bed. As I began to walk myself to the bathroom, I past my cat sleeping in her bed and heard this strange noise. I stopped and tried to listen more closely to the sound. It was very loud, and it sounded as if my cat was purring. I looked at her and she looked back at me...was she purring? I'd never heard her purr so loudly before. I couldn't believe it, how does a cat suddenly start purring that loud? Not long after I heard the noise, the floor started to vibrate. Wtf? I was so confused. I had one of those moments where you have a million thoughts going through your head at the same time, and I was just trying to figure out how Kip, my cat, was even able to purr so loudly, or if it was even possible. Then, it hit me. It was an airplane.

Color T.Vs?! When Did That Happen?

Tomorrow (well technically today) is my first day off in almost a month! You can't even imagine how excited I am; I'm like MVP at t-shirt time. I know you are all wondering what I am going to do on my day off, and since I love you, I will tell you. On my day off I am going to do nothing! I am going to sleep in, maybe make some cookies, play the Sims, watch a movie, and perhaps catch up on the latest episode of the Real World on my PVR. Annnd, if I have the time, and mental strength, I might play around with photoshop some more to see if I can learn some new skills! (:
I am going to go to bed now.
Goodnight.
Seriously.
Bai.
