Bloody Days

Rock star Vida split her head open, sad for all.

Here are gruesome pictures for you:

And sweet V lookin crazy after her rhino tranquilizer, she pulled the needle out of her leg like a she hulk so it took a lot longer for the drugs to run through her system.


She is much better now. Thank. you. very. much.

untitled to you

In my mind I place your hands upon me.
Hands that always ask a fee,
Never yeilding to entrances,
of eager eyes and sobbing throat.
You are too clever
for a heart that waxes slender,
so you stop just there,
before the burgeon of my soul.

So let me begin to unfold you.
Tracing fingers down your spine.
Let my forces crash upon you,
waves that drag one out to sea.
But there you wait upon the shore,
eyes of amber all aglow
missing nothing in the challenge of a foe
content to have me lap about your feet.

I will take your heart inside me,
like a pyre burning bright;
And take you deep inside the dark,
Let you burn me from the inward out.
But like the blood red phoenix rise,
We'll come to sing anew.
For I am the weary traveler
winding down the road that is you.

If we so collided with contentment
and the world conceived persists,
I will rest my hand upon your jaw,
"Let us see this eye to eye,"
Never leave me,
Never say you can forget.
For I am the gentle breeze that rocks you,
and the stillness is the death.

Stand a little Taller

I just wanted everyone to know that I love my Heavenly Parents, and my  brother Jesus Christ.
It's the least cool thing to say out in public (it seems like), but if people can go around talking about the drugs they do, the drunken deboturies, and any other various examples of lack of self respect; well then, I should be able to talk about my beliefs, that lift me higher, without feeling like I am going to offend someone.

To my fellow believers out there and to those who are not, the times they are a changin'. Birds, fish, cows, and all sorts of animals dropping dead everywhere, more natural disasters than ever, wars and rumors of wars (it feels like an M. Night Shyamalan movie). Today does not seem like a day to say "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," but I tell you that it is. Because I know that the Lord has assured me that WE will win. That light will vanquish the dark, and a new day will dawn. So to those on the other side, feel free to apply said adage to yourselves. You will not win, so you might as well join us.

 I know that if I follow the Lord's plan for me that I will be lead safely down the path that is meant just for me. He loves me, he knows me by name, and he has called me to do his work here on earth. The same goes for each and everyone one of you. I want all of you to know that I love you too, whether we've ever met, or not, you are my brothers and sisters. I am not some crazy Bible girl, though I am a girl crazy about the Bible. I am just trying to live a life that will make me and those around me happy and this is the best way that I have found to do that. If you have any questions, let me know.

So I'll leave you with this diddy:


Know that I am not perfect, but I am trying dang hard to get there :)

Jelllllo!!!

Did you know that I looooooove Jennifer Lopez,
also know as J Lo, Jenny from the block, Mrs Marc Anthony.

I told everyone in high school (much to my bff Megan's dismay) that I thought I looked liked aforementioned honey goddess. My booty backed me up.

When I met Brandon I told him that I just wanted him to make enough money so that I could be J Lo. I guess I was slightly kidding. He was slightly in awe, I'm sure, but had a few misgivings as to how I was going to get from a thrift store clothes-crazy haired-bag lady feel thing going on to Perfection. I told him not to worry, the latina in me would find a way. Did I mention my bum.

I saw her on Ellen today; still rockin' it. She lifts my spirits and reminds me why I get up in the morning. My friends, aren't you glad that you are around to watch my beautiful transformation.

For your viewing pleasure:

New Start

Yellow folks!

I know you missed me...people have told me. Of course, they were all members of my family. But they already get to hear what I have to say frequently, so that must mean that those who do not frequent my inner sanctum must really miss me.

I was going to try and make this more concise (my blog writing style), you know, as a fresh start new years resolution type thing, but it seems that's already out the door.

FYI: I was gone so long because baby V pulled my laptop off a stool and sent it to robot heaven. I decided not to replace it right away and had a very lovely technology respite.

I hear lots of people saying it, but I too feel that 2011 is going to be an exciting year. I'm really looking forward to it. My big goal of the year is to enjoy what I have.  Taking special care with my home and family. Imperfection means only that we're growing and learning, and hopefully loving. I've found that in too many instances I don't appreciate something until it changes; well, I repent! Here's to the moment!

All my love,

O.

Things About Winter

So its winter here in Alberta (again) {{sigh}}

It has already kind of snow/frosted in the morning, and it was 3 deg C yesterday, which is 37.4 deg F.

That deserves some swear words.

So here are a few observations we've made in the last couple of weeks about winter:

1) Three weeks ago I woke up and it was dark and heavy like a blanket outside. I snuggled in and thought to myself  "ah, I'm kind of ready for winter, I can do this,"

2) Then the thought that followed immediately: "I could do winter for 3 or 4 months, not the next 8 or 9."

3) 3deg is freakin' cold now, wait till its -25deg out.

4) Went to the mall yesterday and a) blew smoke while putting the stroller away, and b) got into the car after being outside for no more than 5 min and having painfully cold ears.

Suck.

And the quote of the day.....

Brandon: Burrrr it's so cold!
Olivia: It's only September; why do we live here!!!!
Brandon: But it's never this cold in September here!
Olivia: Well it IS this year!

Boo.
