So, I'm going to take a bit of a blogging break...

So, as the title says I am in fact going to take a bit of a blogging break. It's true, I don't write a lot to begin with and so many of you might be saying, what's the big deal. But you see I think I've chosen to take a break from the whole blogging world. I'm almost embarressed to say it but it just sucks you in and I end up wasting so much time sitting in front of this computer looking at peoples lives I barely know and wondering what my life would be like if it were like this or that. It's not that I sit here pining away for others lives but it does stir up something in me that makes me a little restless, and so I'm trying to still those thoughts. I heard this wonderful sermon this week-end titled 'the house of thoughts' and saying your mind is going to be the biggest battleground, and is like a letter for the world to see, and basically asking what are you going to write on your mind for the world to see. And so I want to spend time writing good things on this mind, focusing on what God has around me and what He has put in me. It might be just for a week, or I might realize I don't need to spend as much time looking at others lives. Who knows, i might just be back next week, ha!

What a wonderful evening...

I have to say I just had a great night last night. It was a reunion of sorts really. Amy, Peter and me. You see when amy and I used to live together on 514-12th Street East (ha, I can hear neighbour Jeff calling the house and telling us who has was adding in his address - just in case we forgot he lived across the hall) we used to have game nights with Peter. Many an evening was spent playing games and eating popcorn. It was lovely. So last night was a reunion. It was to be games night, and we did play a fair amount of skipbo but then we decided to take a break and go play in the puddles. Good thing Peter has worked in the bush cause we were all three oufitted quite well with boots and pants and jackets and hats (some being water proof and some being not water proof we sooned learned). We drove around the city in search of great puddles and definitely found some. I lost my boot in something that was more like a pond than a puddle. We played a Kinsmen park and then all went home soaking wet... I wish I had some pictures cause it was great fun. We changed into warm cozy clothes only to play more cards, smoke some sheesha, ete some popcorn and watch some tv. All in all a wonderful night.

I started to think about my friends and how much I really do love them. (queue cheesy music - is that the write queue to use???) no need to get all emotional, but I was thinking about how sometimes I get so restless and want to leave and then nights like last night happen, where we all just have fun and don't have to care about what's going to happen next and all of a sudden I really like where I am right now...

Here's a few pictures of our annual Valentines Day night...

Time to write some more...

Well, it's been a while since I wrote, but you know that feeling when you have a bunch of stuff swirling around your head and don't know how to put it into words, and don't really feel like putting the energy into doing so... that's how I've been feeling. Caught in between wanting to get out of this 'funk' (for lack of better word) and kinda liking the fact that I can wallow for a while. I don't even know what I'm 'wallowing' about really...

Don't get me wrong, there is much to love about life, and in fact I have just had a couple of wonderful days, but I'm feeling all around restless. Like something big needs to change. When I get like this I start to think about travelling. I have this new dream now to take a bike trip in a foreign country. I have these thoughts that I would kinda train and ride a stationary bike lots this winter and then take off to Africa or something and go on a week long bike trip along the coast of south africa, or somewhere wonderful like that. I just think it would be so wonderful and you would see so much that you miss when you are speeding by in a car... hmmm... just a dream for now... or I start dreaming about settling down with someone I love, (who? your guess is as good as mine, and if you're guessing you might as well through those guess's my way cause all my guess's are ending up wrong...) and making a home and dreaming together and really being in love. Really isn't it funny how a restlessness within you can make you shift between, 'oh I want to fall and love and settle down' to 'oh i want to run away and travel the world'. Hmmm... two thoughts that are so opposite... weird.

On a different note there seem to be a few new things going on around here which somewhat settles the restlessness for spurts of time. I bought a new car (well, not new, but new to me, and I love her!), I got a new hair colour (which I have say might be my old hair colour soon cause I'm not particularly sold on it), my dear friend Sarah Jane and my old friend Rachelle are moving in together and they are coming here to this wonderful neighbourhood, so slowly but surely we are building community, and I am back to work full time now and really enjoying it. I do really love that place...

So there's an update on me.... I must go to bed now... talk to you later...
