Really, I’m a girl

Today I drove past a construction site on my way home and had a flashback.
I worked in the construction industry for nearly 20 yrs, first as a laborer/first aid attendant, then did a four year apprenticeship for carpentry, and finally ended my career working in the office doing corporate safety in charge of 7 jobsites [...]

Second thoughts on Collective Soul’s Rabbit

I recently BLOGGED a REVIEW of Collective Soul’s new second ‘Self Titled’ album (affectionately known as ‘Rabbit’) and my review was a positive one.
Its been one week since I first began to listen to the album, and I had a day last week where I suddenly had a ‘meh’ moment about nearly all [...]

Thinking about Water

my peaty pee colored water has taught me a valuable lesson

I’m becoming a hat person

Whether I want to or not!
I’ve recently moved from The Coast (Vancouver) to the Interior (Vernon) and the weather is very very different in this new locale. It’s hotter in summer, with nearly no moisture in the air at all – not like Vancouver which is more humid thanks to the Pacific Ocean on [...]

Duking it out?

Been thinking lately of guys and fights. Why? Three things.
Earlier this month, a well known guitarist was blindsided by a drunken patron at a bar he and his friends were enjoying an ‘end of tour’ drink at. There was blood involved, but thankfully no further injuries and no black eye or broken nose. It was [...]

What i realized last night

Leaving home

we’re moving. we will be out by thursday night/friday morning and moved to a new location after nearly 18 yrs in the same house. I dont really feel any specific attachment to this place – it is what it is and its been a crazy house with never quite enough room but we’ve always made [...]

no chocolate

No chocolate for a month.
That’s what I promised Collective Soul on their Twitter page 16 days ago. And I’ll stick to it even though they’ll never know if I cheat or not. Am I crazy? Just might be   But so is this band. Sometimes they exasperate me, often they surprise me – but [...]

thoughts about living

I attended a funeral today and it got me thinking about what’s important in life, of course. Watching tv with my dinner per usual nightly ritual, and they were talking about Susan Boyle, from Idol fame, and how she’s cracked under the pressure. Seems her dream coming true was a great thing, but being speculated [...]
