Sigh.... even with all that it still somehow seems inadequate.

So this past week I was out visiting my mother in small town,Alberta before my daughter and I move out to the west coast.It is the first time I had been out to her house and thankfully I won't have to go back for a long,long time. It's not that I didn't have an agreeable time, but I don't really have the fortitude to deal with alcoholics for very long any more.
I was grateful that my mother didn't drink a whole lot, but we do have other relatives (cousins) in that town who tend to drink a whole lot more.
So we stayed at her lovely tiny house with the really nice yard. She has two cooking apple trees, two crab apple trees, two plum trees(one red,one green),and a pear tree. She has red and yellow roses, big orange tiger lilies and fluffy pink peonies. I would show you the pictures,but it was a very bright sunny day and I took crappy outdoor photos.
We had a couple of nights outside around the fire pit,which was nice.
We had a marshmallow roast and swatted at mosquitoes.

On Friday we went across the street to my cousin Twilla's house.(Here and now forever more I will deny any blood ties to this woman)
She told us how a stray cat had given birth to some kittens under her shed and she was planning on catching the kittens and taking them to the pet store or to the SPCA to find homes for them. This was the second batch of kittens the mother cat had had under there. Twilla kinda kept the first batch of two males and one female (she feeds them a little and they live outdoors).
So my daughter and I put in the effort to help her by luring out and catching the five new kittens under the shed.
So here are the babies we caught.


This is Lacey.

She wouldn't stay still for a picture at all.

This is Tula.


This is Muffin.


This is Tex.

We couldn't catch him or Tula on the Friday night so we went back the next morning.
He was a little rabble rouser, as soon as we reunited him and Tula with the other three he instilled them with mistrust and fear. He was constantly growling at us and shrinking to the back of the cat carrier. The other kittens we had caught, who were starting to trust us and play and eat took their cues from him and started to act the same way. Well at least he didn't claw us a lot. I finally got him to eat by opening his mouth and putting the wet cat food in it. You should have heard him growl like a little lion while he ate. XD

I said there was five yes?
Well I ended up keeping the last one. I couldn't resist her. She is just so tiny and feisty.
This is Marble.
Sitting next to a medium sized orange.

Well after we caught the kittens we phoned the SPCA and the pet store and found out that we could get a special litter rate from the SPCA to take them off our hands to find homes for them, of $150. The pet store was reluctant to take them, but would if we couldn't get the SPCA to take them. After we got this information my mother went over to Twilla's to let her know. When my mother came back she was steaming mad. She said that when she told Twilla what the SPCA had told us, Twilla said "Here's $20. for gas OK?"
She figured that now that we had caught them that they were our responsibility not hers.

Unfortunately I am related to more than one stupid jackass who refuses to take responsibility for themselves or their actions. I disown them all. From this day forward I refuse to acknowledge that we are related. I don't need the headaches, the stress, the tension in my shoulders and neck. They all make me sick, they can't even act like decent human beings.
If I told you some of the stories about these idiots, you would look at me like I had crawled out from under a rock just for being distantly related to them.

Well anyway we were able to take the four kittens to the pet store, so they could find homes for them. My mother and I both just about cried on the way out of the store, we felt so bad for leaving them there,but neither of us could take in five kittens. At least they have a chance to have a better home than living as a stray and having more and more kittens in Twilla's yard. Too bad we couldn't have caught the Mother, I know Twilla will never do anything about her.

So now I have a kitten who apparently has a gambling problem.

There will probably be more picture posts of the mischief maker in the future. You know how parents are. ;P

I can hardly belive my luck!
I found (it was actually found for me) a two bedroom apartment that I can afford in Victoria BC in the building my Grandmother & Brother live in.

I know I never posted pictures of my trip to Victoria last summer, I was too depressed that we had to leave it, but now I am all happy again!

So PICTURE SPAM!

This is building in which we will be residing.


This is the view from my Grandmother's Apartment balcony.


This is the view from the bridge that I crossed going to the grocery store a short walk from the apartment building.


Same bridge, slightly different angle.


These are the Canada Geese that swim in the gorge all the time and nest along the banks behind the apartment building.


I'm going to get some packing done, more picture spam later.

I am soooooo happy *squeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

*Squeee*
I love nice surprises.
She made me a bookmark,and two magnets which now live on my fridge.(the magnets not the bookmark)

They are great.

Thank you Brandi1498 *hugs*

I decided to try my hand at making some Homemade Healthy snacks to have for those "snacking emergencies"

I love me some spicy food and Salsa & Chips is always easy to grab out of the cupboard for a quick bite.

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be wood. Possibly metal. Perhaps a picture. Something written. Or, I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well. We all can make stuff!

I wish I had a good digital camera.( My kids isn't working)
This looks like an interesting thing to do when you are bored.

Anyone here have some good Pictures of Alan in Frontal and Profile that they could do this with?
I for one would be really interested in the analysis of why he is so attractive. ;-P

One of my favorite funny people has passed away.
Funny with out being foul mouthed.
He was such a great character.
I am sure that in one way or another even if you don't recognise his name you might have seen his face or even heard his infectious laugh.

This is a great clip of Dom, but the embedding feature has been disabled so I can't put it on my journal, but have a look. He has some wise words to say about life.

In one of my favorite animated movies, he played one of my favorite animated characters.
Unfortunately I can't embed that one either.

Jeremy is a hoot. XD

Dominick The Great


I love watching movie bloopers....

....they make me want to be part of the movie industry. :D
Speaking of which Dom was also the host of Bloopers for awhile (a TV show about mistakes and bloopers in the film and tv industry for those of you who don't know).

He is in so many funny clips, but I don't want to inundate you with them. I am sure if you are interested you could find some more to make you laugh on You-tube.

"When you weep from joy....that's pretty good weeping" -Dom Deluise

I will miss you Dom, and find joy in the works you left behind.

Okay some of you may find this offensive. He swears a lot in this one, but the picture of the Origin of Swine flu is @ 2:40.
Really CUTE!

Simon Baker

He is absolutely adorable.

When I watch his show The Mentalist



Every time he smiles on the show I squee uncontrollably.


I mean look at those dimples!

And the Character he plays Patrick Jane,
I just want to squeeze him all the time.



And look he has something in common with Teh Man.

<---Look Stripy Pants!!!!!

As seen from everyone.

You Are a Black Panther

You see through people. You understand others' motives and plans. You have a knack for predicting the future. You just know what people are going to do. People are attracted to you. You are naturally able to influence other people's thoughts. You have the charisma to be a beloved guru or dictator. It's all about how you handle it.

I was going to the Greyhound Bus station to pick up my daughter's friend who is staying with us for the weekend.
As I was walking down the street I noticed a small blue car parked along the street and two people getting out. An older man from the front passenger side and a barefoot female from the back passenger side.
They didn't really register on my radar as more than a passing curiosity, that is until I came to six feet from the back end of the car and I noticed that the female was struggling with the man. I could hear her screaming over the music in my MP3 player.
"I don't want to go with you, I don't want to go with you" as he pushed her towards the front passenger door.

He sat her down on the front seat her feet still on the sidewalk as I approached the car my heart beating like a hammer.
She was crying and yelling and I noticed that she was only a teenager.
The man noticed my approach, but I didn't look directly at him until I asked the girl if she was OK.
She hiccuped and said yes she was all right. I then looked at the man and he smiled as he said that her mother, pointing at the woman in the drivers seat, was picking her up and she was just upset over a disagreement they were having. I looked at the girl again but she was back to yelling about how much she hated him and generally going on.
Her mother smiled at me and I flashed a quick smile back. (I know what it's like kids throwing tantrums in public)

I always wondered what I would do in a situation like that, now I know.

I decided to try it again for kicks......

How could I not share this.




Then I tried it again...




lol this is too much fun @ 3am.

So true....lol

Today I had to go to The Largest Mall in Canada(it used to be the largest in the world until The Mall of America) to pick up my daughters  $500. Graduation dinner dress. I only had to pick it up mind you, it's been paid for already by the Grandmother as a gift to her granddaughter. :)
Before I headed out to the W.E.M. (West Edmonton Mall) I stopped by Blockbuster to get a movie.(Nothing on T.V. on Wednesday nights here)
Guess what I found! Bottle Shock! *SQUEEEEE* It's a good thing that my kid wasn't with me, cause when I spotted it and scooped up the last copy I did a little dance in the aisle.
I was disappointed when neither Bottle Shock or Noble Son came to any of our indie movie theaters :( , but I got to see it tonight!

After I picked up the dress, I had to find a box it would fit in, because it didn't come with one. In my search for a box, I found a British Import store. You know I had to go in. While in there I just had to pick up a few treats to eat while watching Bottle Shock. So I bought some Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Tea, Jammie Dodgers(delicious stretchy jam splodged at the heart of 2 yummy shortcake biscuits),Simpkins Raspberry & Cranberry Drops, After Eight Chocolates(in a different shape than we get here) and a Yorkie which according to the package it's NOT for girls! 

When I arrived home I started to prepare dinner, which had to be done in front of the T.V. because Galaxy Quest was on!

My daughter came home from work and we watched Bottle Shock while we ate dinner. She then surprised me by staying and watching the rest of the movie with me instead of heading off to her room after dinner.

I should have known it was going to be such a great day. I woke up this morning from an Alan dream.
Even though the end was kind of weird it was still an Alan dream which I don't have often enough very often. I won't tell you all the boring parts, just where it started to get interesting.
Anyway in my dream I was outside at a normal suburban style house. There were lots of people at the front of the house minding their own business and I was dancing around having fun. Then I started to leap around and found out I could fly. A man I identified as a cousin told me that I should go fly in the back yard as there was no one I could bother back there. So I flew along the path to the side of the house grabbing the branches of the tree overhead, pretending to swing from branch to branch. I was half way to the backyard on the side path when I heard a voice behind me ask if I was enjoying myself. I looked down to see Alan with his fluffy white hair and all dressed in black walking along the path to the backyard. I let go of the branch I was holding and floated down and wrapped my right arm around his shoulders as he reached up to catch me in his arms. I buried my face in his neck, he smelled like musk, dark chocolate, citrus and salt. I couldn't help myself I licked his neck. He laughed and swung me around before he set me down and continued towards the backyard calling over his shoulder "Come and play cards with me" I ran across the grass behind him to a little white plastic table and two chairs.
There was a tall glass pitcher full of Ice tea and lemon wedges. We played cards and drank Ice tea, and I started to feel warm and fuzzy. I giggled a lot and when I stood up to go to the bathroom I felt all wobbly. I came back to the table and sat down to play some more, drinking up my cold Ice tea greedily. Alan cocked his eyebrow at me and in a slow deep voice suggested we play strip gin rummy. I leaned back in my plastic chair then ran my left hand slowly down the side of my neck and down the collar of my blouse while I fanned the cards in my right hand across my face, fanning my flushed skin as I crossed my legs. 
"I don't think that was just Ice Tea in there" I laughed huskily.
He shrugged "Too late now I guess"he laughed"We shall have to continue as we have begun"
"I'm game" I said as I raised my glass to be refilled from the never ending pitcher.
Then in that way dreams have it jumped from one situation to the next and Alan and I were running around the backyard sans clothes, chucking bubbles at each other. They were single blown soap bubbles, but they were huge.
And the weird part that I promised you?
Well both of us were normal from the waist up, but from the waist down it seems that something went wrong, because he had the girl parts and I had the boys. O.o
