Mike's 33 WTF?

whoa... time went by too quickly! We had a great day in Corning, NY in and out of all the little shoppes and art galleries, and i had the worlds GREATEST tea! mmmmm. We then went home made a lasagna and had some cake :) miss heidi decided to go NUTSO with the cake LOL... hayden didn't do too bad herself, but heidi was so insane with it i had to shower with her! the bath would never have worked. sid and cindy came over too, it was a nice night.

Sooo... i have cable now...

i am almost in danger of becoming one of those people who sit around all day watching TV, getting fat... you know the type of person who i LOATHE. i never got cable before, just seemed like a bad idea, i lived with out it for sooo very long, my parents, of course, got it after i had moved out. they still joined the information age long before i did. its pathetic really. heidi loves her some TV too... at her age, she shouldn't, which is why i am happy that i have the smarts to take time to turn off the mind numbing thing and play with her. i am just dying for winter to go away! i want to be able to walk outside! i miss my stroller walks in the park. (so strange for ME to be saying this as i LOVE winter.. but i guess children change you LOL)

i suppose my biggest issue is that everyone around me is soooo damn miserable! greg because he has but one job and makes like no money. sid because his wife and children hate him and he has no job, no purpose... and... ok... he has every reason to be miserable, but i am not miserable, i am a relatively happy person, or at least i would like to think i was haha. i have all that i could need right here, so... i dunno, maybe its selfish, but i try to shield myself from all the unhappiness, sort of a self preservation sort of thing, i know my brother will get by, he knows what he needs to do. and i know he, unlike sid, will do what ever he has to. i have seen such a wonderful change in him. he is genuinely trying. *sigh* well i digress, now that i have gone of on some tangent that has nothing to do with anything, i guess what i am saying is hell, i need to stop watching tv and do somthing... i just need something more to do! i redecorated my living rm wanna see?? haha.. of course you do...

my little helper :)

The moose enjoying her new place to chill

People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Advent

Today was the first day of Advent at the church.. We went it was a lovely service and Miss. Heidi really enjoyed playing with the other little kiddos in the “Lullaby Room” Michael and I are going on wednesday for the baby romp and christmas story hour. Should be fun. :)

"REVIVAL" by Steve Crow

Snow is a mind
falling, a continuous breath
of climbs, loops, spirals,
dips into the earth
like white fireflies
wanting to land, finding
a wind between houses,
diving like moths
into their own light
so that one wonders
if snow is a wing's
long memory across winter.

If i should ever happen across the evil, vile, putrid skunk that sprayed outside my house, i may be forced to cause it some torment as it decided to make my ENTIRE house smell like burning tires..
