In A Single Grain

Another beautiful day down in sunny California, too bad living in the valley is...well living in the valley. And too bad the valley down here is nothing like the beauty of the valley up north in C-da (aka my homeland, aka Canada).

The air quality is getting to me most recently, as it's sweeping up my allergies quite a bit, not as bad as back home but enough to be annoying. A few suda-fed and I'll be back up and running in no time :).

Happy hump day to you.

A New Book

I started reading Angela's Ashes a couple days ago, and so far it has stood up to it's "Irish Turmoil" explanation on the back cover. I watched the movie when it came out way back when, but the book thus far has turned out to be much more riveting for me. Perhaps it's because I enjoy reading certain styles instead of seeing them on film. In anycase, if you like a heart rencher with insight into history give this a go.



In other news, the kitties are happy as can be, and become more and more mischevious with every day!

Un fiore per voi!

Miss Margaret Hudson - painter/sculptor extroadinaire. I adore her flowers, they're magnificent! I used to love walking the halls of the hospital I used to work at and look at her amazing flowers. She is one of my favorite artists. If you haven't seen some of her work (her baby quail are adorable too!) I suggest googling her and checking her out.


Back to work today! HAPPY MONDAY. I'm trying to be positive as I got a good night sleep (thank you benedril), and deciding that it might be time to look at tylenol pm as a sleep aid. Enjoy the sun, it's been beautiful out here. Oh and the jasmine is in bloom and it smells like heaven.

Formal Introduction

Looks like I'm going to have to post 3 pictures in order to make up for the last few days. So what shall it be?? Well I assume it'd be best of me to introduce the two newest members of our family. Lowe and behold the fierce some duo!



The lil ankle biters are quite photogenic when they stay still long enough for me to snap a picture.
They were sleeping, but when I turned on the camera they woke up a little. Don't worry, being true campers they passed right out the moment the camera was gone again. They're really the most darling little babies, with bold personalities that we can't help but adore.




This is the Abbie - she's a spunky little calico with so much to say. She's always gabbing up a storm (her nick name is princess gabby) or playing around with her sister. A big lover of food, the moment the fridge opens surely miss Abbie won't be far behind.







This is Chloe - a contained tuxedo with more mischief on her mind then the average kitten. She's shy to begin with, but warms up quick with a purr that would make a tractor blush. Her and Abbie love to play fight and just play in general.

Re: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

So we went to see it because it looked on the funny side, a lot of actors we both enjoyed were in it so we thought what the heck lets give it a go.

Unfortunately....this thinly plotted movie is held together by gasping full frontal nudity's of the not so attractive Jason Segel.


Yes I said gasping, in a full movie theatre there was stunned gasps after the first flash, half gasps and one or two laughs after the second flash, and silence after the third flash.I think the saddest part is it could have been so much better if there was more of a plot and a lot less sexual innuendos.

Anyways I'd give it a C+, like the rediculous highschooler who could do better, but flops because all of his like minded friends are flopping about also.

Besides the world of crummy movies, my allergies are in full charge so benedril is driving me to continue through the day until the glorious time when I get to go home and hide from the orange tree blossoms.

A Photo A Day Keeps The Migraines At Bay.

I've decided to post a photo a day for fun. Just a way for me update even without saying anything or very little - don't want to get overwhelmed :).

A Forest Like None Other.



Magical isn't it? Bah Humbug on all you evil corporations that pollute earth, and all you sad people who believe that one person can't make a difference. Everyone doing a little something can benefit the earth over time.

What's new? I'm running solo today as one of the girls is out sick. It's been good, affirming my knowledge and making me learn the tough way. BE PROUD OF ME!! On a positive note (not that the aforementioned isn't positive) our latest additions to our family are doing splendid, though my fingers/hands look like they have gone through a war zone - don't you just love little antsy kitten claws?

A New Beginning

A blog for me.myself. and Irene. Wait. No. This is for people, like me, unlike me it doesn't matter. If you have thoughts then you're perfect. It may be random it may be dramatic - who cares, just embrace it. But mostly to keep family and friends updated on the day and life of me and my lovely husbando.

Yikes this is starting to sound very fru fru. Never the less this will be splendid.

So enjoy, share, and love.
