just some rambling thoughts... again
I find myself with many scatters thoughts lately.. and strangely enough my clarity usually comes in the middle of the night.. truly!! .. it's amazing what the brain does at 3 am! I have such great revelations.. its just too bad I don't have my computer next to me to start letting it flow..
So sadly yesterday I watched our hockey team.. the Vancouver Canucks lose the final game to the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup. I have to say though.. watching the Canucks in the last few games, yes.. they had what it would take to win.. but it's all about the execution and of course how the puck bounces.. literally.. game 6 was just a slam.. watching the Canucks get a power play and it ended up 6 against 3.. and they weren't able to get a goal.. I knew then.. well I thought then.. they don't deserve to win.. I mean my goodness.. how easy can this get..and they were still shut out.. sad.. What was worse was seeing the riots.. after game 7, fully expected though.. I mean this is not a shock... there are those few people that will riot for any excuse.. face it.. win or lose.. the riots would have happened...
I had a friend say... you don't go to a family bbq with a molotov cocktail in your backpack.. true.. and then I did ask.. have you met my family.. LOL.. soooo kidding.. but yes.. the mentality is there.. that was there agenda.. just as it was for the Canucks to win the Stanley cup.. sometimes what we wish for or hope for.. or work so long for.. doesn't happen..
Doesn't mean it won't.. just means.. you got to try a little harder.. for a little longer..
Guess I should implement that saying in my life... so much in my life has changed, it's definitely not where I thought I would be.. not saying that I don't like where I am.. I do.. I am with someone who loves me for who I am.. the good, the bad and the ugly.. of course my hope is that this time it is my happily ever after... isn't that what we all want...
Dream a little longer, always reaching for the stars.. one day..

second guessing.. second thoughts..
Amazing how many times a person can think things thru and come to an informed decision.. only to have "life" happen.. and then we start thinking again.. sometimes having those regrets... like in my life.. won't go down the whole rabbit trail here but regrets are a big part of my life.. not sure how much it is for you.. I am constantly second guessing my choices.. now let me make myself clear.. I am in no way a dumb.. or naive person.... if you ask me if I am smart.. I can hold my own.. but I know there is always someone bigger.. better.. and wayyy smarter.. let's just say... I know my place.. anyway... earlier this year I was faced with the daunting task of buying a vehicle..seeing how I killed my explorer.. (see earlier posts.. Dec 22) anyway.. my mindset was truck.. cuz I always wanted a Ford F150 super crew cab...of course 4 x 4 so off I was to shopping... now keep in mind.. I am a woman.. and you would think that shopping would be something I enjoy.. but I don't..I despise it...so off I go with my notebook in hand.. and many many dealerships.. and also private parties.. it finally came down to 2. Well one wasn't willing to deal.. and the other was.. (which was the one I rather have anyhow)
After the mechanical check out.. (off site I might add) negotiations began.. I even brought my dad.. who helped me be the hard ass that I needed to be.. love those salesmen.. they could sell a glass a water to a drowning man!!! but being January.. and they did say.. they would really like to sell a car in January.. LOL.. so I just said.. well you're not selling it to me unless I get it for what I want.. and I come to play hardball.. with that.. he gets his manager... so we neg. and I got a good deal with a warranty..(free I might add for 2 yrs unlimited kms).. that's what I wanted.. for the just in case..cuz that's what I am all about.. the just in case..
so here I am.. only 2 months later.. and yup.. you guessed it..
Truck is in the shop.. finally diagnosed with...head gasket issues.. ah.. thank goodness for the warranty.. ah.. but it doesn't cover it all.. so am I the wiser.. I guess we'll find out... fingers crossed.. sending up my prayers.. hoping this truck lasts me a long long time.. (til I can at least get out of debt!!! )

Still cold..
Had to laugh last week we got about a foot and half of snow.. yet again.. and this was days after I heard on the radio that "Marvin the Marmot" something about spring will be here in 6 weeks. Needless to say while I was shoveling for the third time that DAY..I dreamed of laying on a beach.. anywhere tropical. Sadly the cold whipping wind brought me back to reality! Reality was I better keep on shoveling otherwise I'll be up before 6am digging out my darn vehicle!..
Ah the wonders of Canada....
So here we are already in February, and already dreaming of summer...I was chatting with someone who had just gotten back from Mexico and as we were talking..I had a hard time listening to the story, I was more engrossed with the bronzed tan, and how that must have felt, laying on a beach, listening to the ocean, feeling the sun warm your body. The glistening of oil on your skin, and beads of sweat on the stomach.. my finger circling the rim of the cold glass of ... ya.. reality.. see how fast my mind goes somewhere else....somewhere WARMER.. haha..
Well I did manage to brave the snow.. and headed up for night skiing the other night. I have not skied in a very very long time!.. and surprisingly.. I didn't break anything!.. I did wipe out a few times..and of course that just keeps me more reserved...actually got a bit scared when I felt like I was going to fast..and then when my legs wouldn't do what I wanted them to do.. guess that's the joys of beating your body up.. Don't get me wrong I was very much a tomboy growing up..still not quite all grown up yet.. haha.. I have come to learn or shall we say.. have a respect for speed, for my body hitting the ground.. and for bones to not bend! all things I want to avoid!.. thinking when I got hit by that car, did more damage to the mind then to the body.. cuz still .. I don't full out anything...well..let me rephrase that..hehe.. I won't full out anything that requires speed and not being in some kind of body armour.. (picture me in a knights suit) hahahaa..
anyhoo.. back to skiing.. I did have a good time.. once I went down about 3 times, the fear finally subsided.. and then after a few more times down the hill.. I realized I am not in my twenties anymore.. and don't give me this.. 40 is the new 20.. sure in my mind.. but not while traveling on skis down the side of a mountain doing about 5k an hour.. ROFL!... I will most likely be doing that again.. considering it was only 16 bucks, rentals and lift tickets!.. go figure!
Sadly.. we did not get any pictures.. so that day..the feelings, the excitement, the fear, the joy!.. and the great company.. will be etched in this mind, and in this blog!...
