I just found out that I got approved as a photographer at “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep”. I’ve been a nervous wreck since I applied that they’d hate me! This has been my calling for years - this is what I’ve worked towards..

So my sister and I were chatting last night and it ended with plans for me to go down and see her at the end of February.
YAY! I’m going to San Diego - maybe I’ll never come back…

CALGARY — Arsh Brar didn’t come home Saturday night, but his family didn’t worry. Responsible, clean-living and never a kid to get into trouble, Harvinder Brar says he was a little concerned, but not really worried about his 20-year-old son.
“He was only a couple of minutes away — we tried him…
Beautifully written - what a loss.

I laughed waaaay too much - then posted it on my nerdy daughter’s facebook wall so that she could laugh too.
It’s a week to Christmas and I STILL don’t know what I’m getting my mom. Anyone out there wiser than me with some suggestions??
In the past few years I’ve gotten her:
XM Satellite Radio receiver
Blue Ray Player
Cell phone
Kitchen Aid Food Processor
Flat Screen Monitor
Digital Picture Frame
Digital Camera
Range hood for her stove (hey, she wanted it!!)
Computer

Memory of an elephant, but not really.

Do you know how I remember that exactly a year ago tumblr had the biggest blackout ever and didn’t work for practically the whole day? Because it was my birthday. Easy.
Tumblr is still working so let me shut up and jinx it now.
heh. I remember this! I was in New York City for the first time in my life on vacation and heard the chatter there.
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Missy!...

and going all the way into Red Deer is a pain
There is one. Heading to Edmonton, it’s on the left, not easy to get to. Heading to Calgary though, it’s on the right - super easy, right on Gasoline Alley. ..I do this trip weekly.. know it all too well!

Was inspired to write one of these hehe.
They rather hold their bulky camera, than hold hands with you.
On a romantic date, you’ll watch the sun go down and think “Wow this is gorgeous” and they’ll go “mirror lock, tripod, and stop down f/8 at 1/125.”
You’ll never be able to enjoy tv,…
hahahaha… not so bad when you and your partner are both photographers...
I finally got the nerve to apply to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and now I’m a nervous wreck that they’ll hate me..
In Canada, on Remembrance Day, we honour a “Silver Cross Mother” This is a mother who has lost a child (or children) in war lays a wreath to represent all the mothers who have lost a child fighting a war.
When I was younger (I’m talking the mid 70’s, early 80’s…) these Mothers were all so very elderly. They were in their 80’s and 90’s and were...

From Me To You: All PERMED up! →
fromme-toyou:
Last month I did something I’ve wanted to do my entire life: Get my hair permed. I’ll admit, the process takes a long time, it smells and you can’t wash your hair for 3 days (sexy) BUT… being able to step off the plane in Paris with still perfectly curled voluminous hair made it worth every…
I <3 my Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious - it’s an addiction.

Sunday is the 10th anniversary of my husband’s sudden death. There’s someone that I want to see very badly this weekend but can’t.
It’s barely after dark on Friday night and I’m miserable.
I think I’ll spend the weekend cleaning bathrooms. yay, me.
