A New Year

It's 2012... many people say you should make new years resolutions right about now. Not really a fan of this. Many people set unreasonable goals that are just plain silly, perhaps this is why I don't like it so much. If I set one, I set one... if not, well I'll just take things as I go.

Snow...?

So Christmas is in 8 days... went to a Christmas party last night, it was fun. We don't have much snow on the ground and its +8°C outside and there is a Chinook blowing, so the snow we do have is melting fast. Hope it snows in time for the 25th, I want to go snowshoeing on Boxing Day!

Remembering

I've spent a lot of today thinking about her, missing her. Just reminiscing about what a wonderful lady she was. Just wish I could have been able to have more time with her. I wish she could have been here for longer. To see all of her family grow and change. Two years seems to have passed so quickly. It seems only this morning I was being woken up by my dad telling me she had passed. After years of battling cancer she finally succumbed to it. Words cannot describe how much I miss her. I miss you Grandma ♥

What a View!

I saw the most beautiful view the other morning driving home. It was a crisp morning and I could see the mountains perfectly. The range just went on forever stretching North. It was like a scene from a movie. Just gorgeous snow-capped peaks! Makes me realize what a wonderful part of Canada I live in and I'm very thankful I only live an hours drive from those mountains. Can't wait for my first snowshoeing trip of the season!

Just a Thought

There is something I've realized in the past few days, something that I wish I had thought of months ago. I don't need a man in my life, sure its nice for the companionship and of course the sex. But being single means you don't have to worry about what your boyfriend is doing, is he going to be free later, will he like what I'm wearing, there are tons of things couples worry about and mostly its the women who do the worrying. I don't have to look nice for anyone but me, and that is awesome. I find I dress up more now because I want to look nice, just for me. I've spent so many months stewing over a man who dumped me, asking why? It doesn't matter the why of it in the end. Getting an answer didn't make me feel any better, just produced more questions and more pain. So the conclusion I've come to is: Men complicate things and I don't need one in my life.

Wheels

Life's been slow. Looking for a job is a pain. On a lighter side, I found a car for a very good price and now I have wheels again!

Something Short

Been a good past few days. Hung out with my mom and dad. Saw some old friends. Went shopping, got some nice things. Have been doing yard work this morning, raking leaves and mowing so much fun...
