Merry Christmas!
Hi all...
Now, I know that wishing people a Merry Christmas probably isn't the most politically correct term... but here's what I figure: Christmas is a time that is meant to be about 3 things in my book: faith, hope and love... and I think regardless of race, religion or creed, we all can say that those are 3 things this world is in a little more need of.
This Christmas is a good one for me I think - there will be lots of family, food and hopefully FUN! The Baerwald and I are off on a Swiss family Scammell and Baerwald journey this season that will take us to Waldheim, Edmonton AND Valleyview; all within the space of one week. Oiy vey! He's never met my mother... all of you should pray for the poor lad... she may be litte, but hoo boy is she feisty! Just kidding... the worst she'll do is make some scary, inappropriate, Valleyview-type comment and embarass the poor thing... I'm thinking it could get hilarious.
Perhaps we should take a camera along for some fun photos - you never know when a penguin display will grab your attention, just begging to be used to create wonderfully funny photo ops... or perhaps the large Ukranian egg that resides in Vegreville. Such a cool egg. Ahh sigh; sorry if this post is a tid bit boring... I'm not going to lie, I've had a bit of stage fright for posting after that FREAKING hilarious Dave barnes video... seriously, that guy makes me crack up!
OK people; the gifts are not getting wrapped this way; and I have a wedding to go to in the morning... hence, sleep needs to occur. I enjoy you all, and wish you the Merriest of Navidad's... Love. Faith. HOPE. This world can be changed by the positive gifts that lie within us all - cast aside the fear that would hold you back from doing/having more of all those things!
Anyhoo - today I did not leave my couch. All day... what does this make me feel? Welp. First, I'd have to say great cuz it meant I wasn't in the bathroom heaving the last effects of this weird 24-hour flu-like thing up (always a pleasure...) and Secondly, I'd have to say amazingly rested.
Reflections on the year 2006 that is quickly coming to a close:
1) I'm glad it's almost over 2) I wish I wasn't glad that a year of living was almost over 3) Shoot, I wish I could sleep... for a long, long, long period of time 4) I wish I didn't have so many bills. 5) I like that things have worked out 6) I wish the things that haven't worked themselves out yet would soon 7) I hope this New Years Eve is better than last... anyone ever celebrated New Years with a mono-infested special friend? Not the best time ever...! Them sleeping, you watching terrible TV. Booyeah? This year'd better be better - not sure it could be worse, so here goes! 8) I'm hungry 9) Do I dare attempt eating?
Welp; I don't have any other really deep thoughts besides those... feliz navidad folks.
Oh yeah; PS: I almost peed myself when I saw this, and so thought I should share it with y'all! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Seriously; Dave Barnes... who knew he was SO funny...!?
Notice: The Spanish accent with a LISP!!! Also Notice: His chuckles in between songs cuz he just can't help it! Thirdly: When he knocks on the guitar and then asks: "who is there!" Lastly: HIS NOSE... how does he sing AND flare it at teh same tiem??? Oh my I might actaully pee! Wait wait... no, no the bad English at the end! ANNDDDD "Police Never Die... or is it please?" I don't know - FRICKING hee-larious! For some reason, Jon Esau, I hope you watch this and laugh like I did... tha'ts right a personal shout out on the oel blogski... hoo doggy... enjoy peeople enjoy!
Today I called Holland College and let them know that I just don't think I can go in March. It is too soon, and I don't feel ready. At the same time, I am feeling a bit unsteady about that decision. My application will be re-entered into the running for September, and so the door is not closed... a piece of me wonders if it is out of fear that I do not want to go just yet; but another piece of me knows that I need to be here now. That dream will come to fruition, I just have to wait. Wait, wait, wait. Patience may be a virtue, but it is not one that I am good at.
In other news. I am going to be posting some pictures soon. However, I put the question out there: of what. Of what should I take pictures? Send me on an adventure people! If I shan't go to PEI just yet, I shall check out the scenery 'round here... oh yes yes!
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
