The Life and Times of a Part Time Dreamer....

Valentines has passed and life goes on pretty much the same. the sun is shining more often and the snow is beginning to melt. and I'm stuck inside with strep!!!! Isn't it ironic. The week you decide to do something with your life is the week you get sick. oh well at least I have a chance to sit down. So a couple weeks ago I took my all too round dog and decided to cure both of ours cabin fever. We went for a walk around our neighborhood. It was sunny and slushy in the snow and I got to check up on things I hadn't seen since my last walk( which was before the snow fell). When we returned home I ventured out into the frozen wasteland of my backyard to see what I could find. my curiosity was rewarded. BUNNY TRACKS on the undisturbed snow I found a trail of bunny tracks. In my imagination I took on my fur trapper persona and fallowed the tracks. I probably was something very funny to look at as I hopped from foot to foot through the snow, trying not to get snow in my snow b...

Oh the magic of chocolate chip cookies. they make the house smell beautiful, the dough tastes amazing, not to mention the joy they bring no matter what kind of day you're having. can't wait to make a batch and spread the love. :)

leggings.. check socks...check jeans...check sweatshirt....check undershirt...check two pairs of gloves....check hat...check scarf...check coat... check snow pants...check boots...check sled..check and then inevitable as soon as you're decked out and ready for the snow you have to take it all off and go to the bathroom. Isn't that always the way. Today is the day that we are packing everyone into their snow suits and sending them flying down the hill. And building snowmen and snow forts that will last until the sun melts them into puddles of mush. You play until your fingers freeze and and you can't feel your cheeks or nose anymore and then you come inside and ceremoniously strip of all your wet clothes and grab your favorite blankie and sit down by the heater and read. YAY! SNOW!

passes crawls moves races hurries The point I guess is that no matter what, time never stops or reverses. It doesn't wait or pause. Time is one of the many forces governed by law. It's neither good nor bad. It's strictly an unstoppable element of the very fibers of the universe. It waits for no one and nothing. But it will always pass, regardless of any attempt to make it slow. Odd. "Nothing very good and nothing very bad ever lasts very long"- Devin Braithwaite

I want to write something moving , something worth reading over and over again. Something that will be used. Something that will invoke emotion and cause thought and change. It's hard to call something from my thoughts and put it on paper in just the right way . Oh the desires of a writer.... I've found that writing, like any other hobby , art, or form of communication , requires constant practice. I mean everyday. I look back on things I have written and the writing that I did when I sat down and spent time daily to just write, is so much better than much of my other writing. I took a creative writing class last year and had to fill a note book completely up by the end of the semester. The entry at the beginning is on e of the last entries that I made in that note book and I look back on the things I wrote in that note book, and they are so much better than some of the other things I've written in the other note book s I've filled . And the only difference i...

This is Ivangeline. And she is the most beautiful plant in the whole house. today was a good a day.... moonlit path The grass is wet and soft beneath my toes. The warm breeze keeps the evening air fresh. It blows the hair from my face and drys my damp shorts and t-shirt. the warm summer rain had just passed and the moon now shone brightly down on the lawn and sidewalk. the houses on this end of the street were dark, the neighbors either out of town for the summer or gone to bed early. Now was the time, if ever there was one. I began to walk the moonlit path ...

I woke up to this this morning: beautiful but very cold. I'd like to catch you all up. Christmas and New years has come and gone and like all good things they didn't last very long. I got to return to where I moved form and see everyone for New years. I'd like to tell them all that I love and miss them like crazy!!!! I think with all the new snow I'll get to try out my new sled that I got for Christmas pretty soon. that will be an adventure making sure I don't kill myself flying down a hill at break neck speeds. I love to sled though, strapping your sister in front of you and hanging on for dear life and you race to the bottom of the tallest hill you can find. snow and ice flying in your face stinging your cheeks and the adrenaline from the sensation of flying keeps you warm in your air tight snow suit. It's the most exhilarating thing in the world. I'd like to also introduce my new friend and pet who will, like all the rest, become a renowned figure on thi...
