digi skills

the other day I mentioned I needed to work on my skill of taking photos of people.
so on Sunday I made off with Mishu's camera and shoot some kids at Elevation.







they're sooo cute!

I have to learn how to get the right colouring now... thank goodness for photoshop so I'll be able to correct it :)

updates...

on my apartment

My friend Judy and I went to IKEA on Saturday. It was a great trip and I spent a butt load of money. I did get quite a number of things and have placed/installed most of them already. I shall post some pictures when it's complete.

I rearranged the living room, again!


in the balcony garden

Our baby tomotoes are blooming.

4 of 6 bean plans are sprutting up.


on my new roomie

Most of you probably know that my twin sister is moving back to Ontario and will be moving in with Michelle and I. It's going to be a little crazy with 3 sisters in a 2 bedroom apartment but I'm sure it'll all work out.

She arrives in 9 days!


of movies I've seen recently

Up until about a month ago the last time I had been to the movie theatre was to see The Chronicals of Narnia. Recently though, I've been out to the movies a number of times and finally got a chance to watch X3. I thought it was fantastic! (the other movies I've seen are: Cars, Over the Hedge and The Da Vinci Code.)

I think that's it.


oh, I forgot to mention that I walked into the screen door.
I'm special.

think pink

I saw some pretty pink flowers today. Since I had my sister's digi with me I snapped a few photos. I'm getting pretty good at taking photos of still objects now if only I could master people :S





Two weeks before my twin moves in with me! yikes. I have sooo much to do.

stay fresh!

of mom and movies

It was my mom's 48th birthday this past weekend so I went and spent a few days with my family. Often when I go to my parent's it can be pretty intense and not very relaxing and I usually get sick. But this weekend was good.

On Saturday night I went with my mom and dad to Goderich. We enjoyed a great diner of pizza and then we went to see CARS at the theatre. It was strange to be accompaning my parents in a theatre full of kids but whacha gonna do? The movie was really cute and pretty funny. They did a great job on some of the characters. After the movie we headed down to the waterfront. It was mighty chilly but we did some walking around anyways. It was great to be by open water again. (I didn't get to the beach at all last summer, and this summer was shaping up for the same).

Yesterday, I popped by my church picnic for about an hour (just enough time to eat a bunch of food and say hello to a few peeps!) and then Michelle and I hung out with Dad and Mom for awhile. After they left we decided to head to King's College Theatre to watch Over The Hedge. We were the only ones in the theatre! so weird but great because you could talk all you wanted, put your feet up on the seat, stand to readjust, sit wherever you want, throw popcorn... :) and it was only $7. Sweet, we've decided we're going to go there to watch movies more often.

... still need to watch X-men 3!

not so green thumb

I'm afraid I killed my gerbera.



This is what it looked like a week ago.
I don't have a picture of what it looks like now but it's sad. Tonight, I performed a transplant and brought it inside.
Hopefully, it comes back. It was so pretty.

when will I learn

"Many people don’t think they are loved, or held safe, so when suffering and struggles come they see it as an affirmation of their worthlessness. The great questions of the spiritual life are to learn to live our brokenness under the blessing and not the curse." -Henri Nouwen

Sometimes I feel worthless. I think that if I was just a little more "enough" of something I wouldn't struggle so much. I start to believe that I'm not smart enough, not interesting enough, not pretty enough, not talented enough, not spiritual enough, not funny enough... whatever relates to the particular struggle. I'm just not "enough" of whatever would "fix" my life. But I know to feel this way edges at my soul. I hate berating myself like this. I feel dirty and heavy. I am the "many people" in this quote.

Sometimes I do not like my life.
Sometimes I think it'll choke me.
Sometimes it seems so senseless.
Sometimes it surprises me.
Sometimes it holds so much promise that it scares me.
Sometimes it makes me giggle like I'm three again.
Sometimes I think it doesn't exsist.
Sometimes I think I've screwed it all up.
But mostly I know I need to live in love, humility and grace.

Do I continue to affirm myself under the curse or learn to love myself under the blessing of my heavenly Father?

and it rained

I remember running in the rain.
The smell of the coming rain. The contrast of dark skies and bright grass. The strong breeze that accompanies the first burst of drops. The faint rumble of thunder. Twisting and twirling while our skin felt the relief of the plummeting drops. Squeals of laughter and fright. Until the fun ends and we're sheltered from the storm.

that was scary

for awhile there I was contemplating going back to pen and paper. I've been having such issues with technology and they've been compounding into one huge headache. but then I remembered how much I love my computer and cyberspace :) hopefully this infatuation will help me replace weeks worth of files and data in superhuman time.
