Our Greatest Need, Already Met

2006-05-09T12:45:00.000-04:00

K, So I was working on my descriptions for products on the web-site at work when I saw this book which got me thinking…

Question:
If God is so amazing, if He really is all that we say and believe that He is, If He really knows what we need and desire (and better than we do), then why is it that WE are to ask Him for those things? Why do we need to ask when He is the kind of Father that gives us all and more than we need? Why ask when in the end God is God and will do as He wills?

Answer:
I don’t pretend to REALLY know the answer to this timeless question that most of us have asked on many occasions…but think about this:

What if the very act of us asking Him IS the greatest answer to our needs? Like think about this…Maybe what we need most is that NEED to communicate with God. How many of us in all honesty would really speak with God as often if we never needed to ask Him for something. I am beginning to think that He put that in place for us to ”ask so that we may receive” so that we would have a place to build relationship. People don’t just jump into being intimate with God, we need time to get close, feel safe, and know He is really there with us. Well, what better way to do that than to NEED to ask Him for things all the time and then see Him taking care of it in the best way!!? So maybe God set this entire thing up in order to fill our greatest need: Relationship and Intimacy with Him. This very NEED causes us to be real and honest with God about where we are lacking, where our heart is, and how we are REALLY living; Basically allowing Him to see the Real Us even when no-one else does. This NEED to communicate with God is a basis for all of the Heart connection that goes on throughout the journey of our lives. Eventually we no longer fear asking Him (or fear forgetting to ask), and it just comes out naturally throughout the coarse of our day in being so close to Him that we just speak and relate all day and all night Spirit-to-Spirit!!

So this is my "Oh So Great" Revelation for the day… This is how HE REALLY cares for us.

My Dearest Grannie

2006-04-13T15:35:00.000-04:00

This is my Grannie!! (Pearl Webster, 84) She past away last friday. So life has been difficult lately. I went to the funeral dispite what i felt led to do...but i did it mearly to honour my parents there. That's not to try to promote me as a selfless honouring daughter...meerly to state that i didn't want to be there. I was in the middle of writing my Grannie a leter when she left us. I had been working on it for a year. There were many hours that went into it...and i never got to send it to her! I used to be very close to my Grannie, but in the last few years i've gotten so busy, and so phocused on finding me...i lost track of the other people who are a huge part of who i am today. I'm sorry for that Grannie. I wanted to spend all day yesturday at a park just trying to finish that letter and tell her everything that i remember about us together... I still want to do it, and i pray I'll still get that chance.

My Grannie was the kind of person who appreciated everyone. She loved so deeply. She even cared enough for the animals to make sandwiches and then feed them to the birds. She was never without a cat, and she was always there to help even the chipmunks find their dinner. She always had pickles!! and OLIVES!!! one thing which has become a great passion in the food category for me. She did puzzles and crafts with me since i can remember. She didn't like her nose, but loved mine...funny thing is, they are the same. I see alot of her in my life, and i see alot in her that I want to be. I loved my Grannie!! I miss her!

My Apearing Heaven(s)

2006-03-16T10:22:00.000-05:00

K, so it seems I have come to love the mall...alot! i am not entirely sure how that happened, but I have been many times since my last post. And...funny enough, it seems to include work people all the time! I thought I was so over that stage of boredom...but now, I think i like it!
I work,
___I baby-sit Lillee,
______I stay home,
_________I go out to eat,
____________I hang out at work on my time off,
...or... I go to the Mall!

I went with Dallas and Lyla not so recently...so Dal could get a shirt for grad...and for the day he was going to talk to his now "hot Lady friend" and propose their future as a couple (of cuties)! That was a quickie one, and yet, seemed we were there for longer than either of them wanted to be.

A few weeks ago I came in to work...on my day off no less...and I decided i was desiring some "pick-me-up." So, YES, I went to the mall again! This time with Liz...we bought shoes!!! And they are hot ones...I will put in pictures Here and Here and maybe even Here! And I got 4 pairs of really cool runners...my fave kind! But, Liz got me two pairs and i got me the other 2. See, the thing is you can mix and match them. I wear them off set most of the time!! and i love them. Liz got hot shoes too, check them out!

Last night i went to the Mall with Lyla and her niece, Cherish, who is 20 and extremely cool! I totally love her, and we totally connect...at least i think we do! I loved it...the best so far! We went all over the Mall, and we totally had much convo that i loved and we ate and we tried on much clothes...mostly jackets and jeans...and some swim wear was modelled. I had the bestest of times! I got jeans...a pick will be shownhere and maybe another. Cherish got a bunch of needed stuff for her life here in the big T.O. and the legendary S.O.M.!! So, I totally know that need to prepare!! and splurge a bit too! Lyla got her Yogen Fruiz...which was much needed as it would seem! And, I found a love in my heart for these two awesome peeps!

in conclusion i think I am beginning to love the mall...or maybe i'm just having no life. If you look at it this way: I work A LOT, I hang at work when I'm board, I only seem to go out with my co-workers when they are off, I sit around them when they are not, I spend 4 hours at one time going to a mall to watch my boss' niece buy stuff...YET... I could just be totally content in my position in life. If you look at it this way: Work isn't really work because i love to be there, I get to spend all day with my favourite people to spend time with, and I can find total joy and excitement in the middle of doing something that has nothing to do with me and spend very little money on it!!!

I just love it!!! The Mall, the People, the Life!

;o) B1

Mounting Everest

2006-02-01T22:41:00.000-05:00

K, so I wrote this nice little poem for Y'all about my job!!! This depicts...as in draws a pictured illustration of this year in the life of the Resource Centre and not so honoured guests...etc.

Mounting Everest
There once was a mount named Everest
We thought there was none the Betterest
Till on day when we looked close upon it
And discovered maybe we can't make it

It seemed more like Tetris we're Playing
With bricks for laying we start our praying
And never to stop we try making it fit
'It Can't' we all try and avoid to admit

Half way up this mountain we've built
Instead of a Duvet it's a Patchwork Quilt
But we'll trek on ahead on the slippery slope
For a Quarter of a Million we really must Hope

This mount is called Everest and remaining today
Are the hearts holding on all through the delay
Each step we get closer to the end that is nigh
As we follow the bright light we Wave our Goodbyes

AEROport Delight

K, so today our 4 is back together in all Fullness!!!
In case you don't know Laura Thomas has rejoined the life of Toronto. FOR GOOD!!! ish!

There we were going to the airport to pick her up...we got very confused...ended up then down...then over and under and back up!! ? Do I make sense? NO! K, stop talking to yourself...FINE!

K, so we awaited the arrival from a balcony...so she couldn't see us right away!! She came out all gorgeous as usual!! Our hearts jumped...hers dropped...cuz she didn't see us! She wandered and went to sit down. Just as she was nearing a seat we started to cough...then got louder...louder...SARS anyone?? NO! She looked up and screamed...not a blood curdling...just an AHHH...

We ran and screamed our way down the escalator...when we reached the bottom she was just...without her baggage...prophetic?? Or not... (Just after the warning infomercial said...Do not leave your bags unattended" hehe) WHERE COULD SHE BE? We pondered...then a sudden jump and HA! Omitted from in front of us!!!

LAURA!!! We hugged, we jumped we sang and ate chocolate....thanks to Ventura! (not ACE)

Oh, I love this day!! The joy the fright and the near death experiences...did I mention we almost died....NO? Well I shall...

We were carrying the rather large bag on a BROKEN cart on the moving sidewalk. Then the cart STOPPED!!! It would go off of the end. To avoid collision I began to walk backwards...AAAAAHHH came from BV's mouth. "Help me get it off!" so we pushed and shoved while walking backwards...finally got it off and decided for our own safety we would just carry it!

As we drove back to the church to see Lyla and get back to work for some we went on many wrong turns and pulled some U-ees and also ended up inside the Woodbine Race Tracks...? Don' ask....we got there after over a half our....(it's only a 5 min distance by tha way) and we ran in out of the rain and rejoiced our triumphs there!!

YES, and God said, It is Good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

How did we get from saying

‘I love you’

to ‘I’ll see you around someday’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well...enough said??? Maybe...there have been many changes in my family...and many are just not anymore...and in mine...WHAT? anyways...Sometimes songs make me think. This ones seems to do that alot! so...listen to it sometime. It is by great big sea. and i think they rock...and roll!

...

Love you all...and I'll write again soon...I HOPE!!

...

You can blame Lyla (my lovely boss) for over working my to the point where I'm not into looking at computers after work for my lack of postings... Or not...ACTUALLY I love my job!! and I love working as much as i do...but I don't like spending my only time at home on a box...I'm more into my Lillee!! Cuz I love her!! So you can blame her...no actually you can blame God for making her so CUTE...and captivating!!

...

Anyways...keep on licking frozen poles...no WAIT...don't do that!!

Long Time No Talky?

2005-10-08T20:50:00.000-04:00

So What if it's been forEVER since i wrote in this thing that i loath...k, not loath, but used to. What? I don't get it either...trust me!
K, so i don't garuntee there is much interesting things to say...

1- I moved into my new house in Brampton. I love it, my room has barely been touched as of yet...but the rest of the house is looking great! I guess my room is kinda last proirity...but for those of you who endured my last room experience it will not take a year...and NO I"m not using 1 tiny paint brush to do the whole thing...just doing large square with a roller on two walls.

2- My Niece is now in my parents custody...so yes we have a baby...but hopefully she will be with her parents again soon. But, for now I"m simply getting used to the sounds of the cutest child in the world!!!

3- Lillee (Niece) can now say, and I quote, "HI!" but only if someone, like me, comes in the room overly excited, as i normally do, and says "HI" to her first. But, she so knows what she is saying...unlike when she says "I love you" all cutely...she doesn't get it yet, but she will!

4- My sister may not be moving out of the province, and is now sleeping on the floor in my room for a month.

5- Spent an awesome day with my bestestess in Barrie...have pictures to prove their psychoticness...they will be added here and here shortly...or maybe now...you should try and see!! ;o)

6- My Job Discription has most recently expaneded...as per normal at the beloved TACF...lots of scanning, editting photos, and data stuff!! I LOVE it.

7- Timmy's makes these Hot Raspberry Smoothie drinks...and I really wasn't sure about them at first...but they are great!!!!

K, so that kinda sums it up...ish. My Dad says my genereation is weird and uses Ish as though it is a complete sentance. He believes it has taken place of the old fad...WhatEVER!

Focused On The Heart?

2005-08-21T16:23:00.000-04:00

K, so there I was just in the car listening to whatever my brother had in the CD player, and (to make along story short) I ended up worshipping to an Evanescence song!!! Totally! I was singing from such a deep place...It just seemed so raw, such a real message in her words!

I will share it with you!

"Tourniquet"
i tried to kill the pain; but only brought more
i lay dying ; and i'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
i'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am i too lost to be saved; am i too lost?

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

do you remember me; lost for so long
will you be on the other side; or will you forget me
i'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am i too lost to be saved; am i too lost?

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation (x2)

i want to die!!!

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation (x2)

my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will i be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide

So, after reading it can you see how real she is...Sure she may not have it all RIGHT, but who does? And Christ is our REAL suicide...We are to sacrifice ourselves so he might live in us!! The revelation...

I was reading this thing by Moby the other day and he was saying that he doesn't understand how anyone can truly be confident in their salvation...To the extent that we are to be working it out everyday according to Christ. I think he is right...I choose to believe that i am saved under the blood and love of our Lord, but also I always wonder what will judgment day bring. I know I don't live fully for him, I still do love the world. And I hate that fact, but I have to be real about it. And just trust that he is more focused on my heart!

So yes, the thinking about stuff has arrived!!! And Evanescence is more anointed then perceived!! I was so having a Spirit-to-Spirit with God during that song!!!

Speak now...

2005-08-06T19:55:00.000-04:00

So I've learned something recently...Sometimes when things are weighing down on your heart...even good things you just need to speak!!

I've had some things on my heart for a long time, and recently i decided i just needed to speak now or forever hold my piece. I spoke, and things are looking up. It took months for me to do it, and boy was that tough...it was weighing so hard on me, but i did it. I spoke. And now i know where things are at. Communication Baby...it can be a VERY good thing. It gets us to where we need to go.

I'm just here to thank God for the ability to speak...how much would life be hard if i couldn't speak. And sometimes i feel like I'll never get it out, but I'm always relieved when i do.

SO...SPEAK!!!

That is my two cents...if something is weighing on your heart then just go ahead and say it out loud...to God, to a friend or to the person who needs to know! My ears are always here.

Hot dogs @ IKEA!!!

2005-07-30T21:26:00.000-04:00

GET ONE NOW!!!!...I did!

K, so my parents and I are moving to a new house!! We are going to live in Brampton in the "G" section...Queen(Hwy 7) and Torbram. Should be cool, it's close to the big city center.

Anywho, I bought this new bed for my new very small room! I love IKEA...especially the hot dogs at the end...and the bottomless pop! Storage in bed is good since my room is like 10'x13' so it's like half the size of my old room. And my parents have to move a three floor house with lots of storage to a one floor with no storage. So we are all making tons of sacrifices!!! Well actually we are all getting rid of all the stuff we don't need, but also some of the stuff that is still close to our hearts!

It's really good for my parents to have a house they can afford and also take care of. It will make it much easier on me when I eventually leave their covering and head out on my own...in due time...in due time!! But for now i have the pleasure of helping them settle into a nice place and i get to bless them with all i can!!! I love them, after all they have cared for me longer than any othe human beings!!!

Dallas is my conscience, and he is desirring to be known by the outer world!!! So I'm going to allow you all to hear what he has to bring to your lives...if you let it, it will change you! "You all need to invest in an algae model!"

To Jump or to Skunk

2005-07-26T21:00:00.000-04:00

K, so this may not be the newest of news, but it is still there. what?

I think that i must live in the wilderness house of Thornhill!! I was out with my parents in late June gardening and such...when we found a familly of rabbits living in our front garden. To this day we still see them on our yard and the mommy just sits and stares at us every time we go in or out...freakish!! But the babbies are so cute!!! Bunnies!!

Also the next day my mom and i went for a late night stroll down our street. It was quite enjoyable untill I suddenly freaked...very quitly i might add. I stopped and also stopped my mom because there was a very cautious skunk standing 4ish yards from us. measuring yards, not houses. We snuck onto the yard we were next to and cut accross near the doors of the last 5 remaining houses and snuck into ours quickly. YUCK!!!! And a few days later my brothers dog got spraid by it in our yard...stinking up the house? YES!!!

Also My Brother Tim got a snake...a not so nice kind!!!
It is a Milk snake...anywho we looked at it for a while and such, but then it got loose after a few days and now it lives under our front steps!! Dude, Kinda Weird, and it definately still lives there. Tim wants it back, I just don't want it at the front door!!

So yes, bunnies, skunks, and snakes all in my yard!!! I'm gonna miss this house!!

Wild Turkeys!!!

2005-06-24T20:27:00.000-04:00

Well, as some of you know I spent a week out at the wonderful Critchley Ranch-ishness!!

FUN times had by all! Some would disagree though...Like the lovely Dawn, (Bethany's momie) who was convinced I must have been bored out of my mind! Seeing as Bethany worked until 4 every day. But I quite enjoyed the tranquil feeling of the wilderness and looking at the horses, and no brothers bothering with their friends I might add.

Now I must admit it was very wet almost all week...in fact there was a tornado warning!! COOL, eh? I loved it... ... ...to the point where I actually went for a 5 hour walk in the pouring rain one afternoon!! I was going to walk to where Bethany worked in midland from where she lives in Penetang, but I missed the turn and walked an hour and a half past it and decided to just walk back because I didn't recognize anything anymore.... There were these guys in a closed in patio that watched me walk past them and then when I got back to their house over 3 hours later they got all excited and all waved at me!! Wow, country folk...not much else for them to do I guess.

I visited Bethany at work a couple of times because Dawn was going into town and couldn't stand watching me just sit there anymore. So she dropped me off.... Yes, the peeps there are entertaining...Oh Greg...

One of the days I spent 6 hours twisting my hair while watching X-Men 1 and 2.... It took a while, but looks cool. I feel like Avril with the living in the country and a zillion braids (or twists) cuz there's nothin else better to do anyways...and We played much Crack The Case stuff too while i was there!! One of the only games I actually play... I love the mystery...

It was great and on the way home from their place Bethany suddenly yelled out in the van, "WILD TURKEYS!!" I looked and lo and behold the wild turkeys were standing next to the road...Weird.

How to Party it up Like a True Raver?

2005-06-11T19:50:00.000-04:00

A Walk down memory lane!! This is what I was thinking this time-ish last month....

So, I was called in as usual to help my brother with the cash at the door of his rave. Well, so I was there and I really do like going to those things...It was called Resurrection. Held by Purple Heaven...well what is left of it. See it seems the owner totally ran off with a crap load of money that was spent on "good tickets" by people trying to get into his party...so after they were all ready to head over for the opening of the venue the owner split!! And they have no clue where he went! So the owners of Nightmare (my big bro DJ Unabomber included) decided to please the crowds and have a new party in honour of the memories of a beloved company (purple heaven that is...for those who are not following my trail) ...thus named Resurrection Purple Heaven! And the first hour and a half was totaly FREE entry!

I must say I didn't realize how much I missed doing that stuff with him!! Now he wants me to start working regularly again because he forgot how nice and relaxing it was to have someone he trusted watching the monies for him!!! Yes, he does trust me...well, more than most anywho. I'm not sure he fully trusts anyone really! But I love him majorly! And I'm so gonna start working at his good ol' Rave Events so much more now!! Yes, it is good stuff!

Now I am babbling...but the funny part is that in the midst of all the young peoples that were totally high or drunk...or just happy and psychotic...there was this random OLD couple in the corner of the club who totally paid the money to come in and they were actually trying to have a deep philosophical conversation with their martini's and whatever....so out of place!!
Then Bethany Critch and I were totally watching people dance and this one guy was like jumping on both legs and swinging his arms like he was SKIPPING!!! What the Crap!!! It was so tripped out...and there were many more who clearly couldn't dance...but we love them!!! And not just because we must but because they entertain us too!!

Yes, so this was the fun that occurred...and this one guy totally tried to sit on Bethany's legs so she moved her legs hoping to allow him to sit on the 'unoccupied chair' only to have him look at her and say...and I quote..."I don't have STD's, if that's what your wondering! I DON'T!!" WTH?? These people need help! And then when we went to Coffee Time for a little late snack that guy was in the bathroom with a few girls...and they asked if we wanted to join them...I kinda told them we'd wait till their done...he decided to mention that they were only peeing! He was so serious too! Messed up my friend, messed up!!

Yes, so this is how THEY party it up...definitely not true ravers...If only they knew that we totally can tell that they don't know what they are doing! It is sad...but they will be fine, now if only I could keep the Candy Kids from trying to put their angel wings, halo's, bracelets, rings, soothers, candy, flowers....(trail off into deep contemplation) all over me and my counter...hmmm...

Puzzle Pieces

2005-06-02T15:13:00.000-04:00

Three blondes have just finished a jigsaw-puzzle so they decide to celebrate by going out. They walk into a bar chanting, "61 days 61 days!"

The bartender gets curious and walks over to them and asks, "Why are you chanting 61 days?"

One of the three answer, "Because the box said 3-6- years!"

First Time Coming...

2005-05-29T14:28:00.000-04:00

Well, today I had the joy of being able to take my little niece to church with me!! It was so freakin exciting!! I got to totaly take care of her and make all of my friends say hi, and i just totaly loved it!! Sometimes I find that I can't love her any more than i already do...but then I prove myself wrong... YES...I may be obsessed with my love for her...but you just try being with her for as long as I am and not falling in love with her! She is so cut...

Something to speak of is this: First thing I did was let her sleep for a bit and then I changed her and I fed her and burped her and got her all ready to be very happy...only to have my Daddy come over and use his Boompa possition to totaly take her for worship...I was like, Dude...I totaly just finished getting her totaly content...and he had her for all of worship...I got her back after she went back to sleep...but, I didn't really mind! I'm thinking it was just too cute to see my Daddy with his little Grandbaby walking and dancing around in our church service!! I liked it alot in all honesty...

I just started over again and when she woke up i repeated her rutine and got her all happy again for the ending of the service...she was jumping and standing and flying...with my help...but she can do the first two things mostly on her own...

It would be so cool if she could fly wouldn't it? Totally awesome!! Like this...or not! Who knows how my mind works...it's just fun is all!!

Which??

Off with Dorothy!!

2005-05-15T22:31:00.000-04:00

Well, we are off to Kansas City...see Y'all on Friday...long drive, too fun!!!

Don't worry, Bethany and I can handle the green one...we're tight with the munchkins...so don't worry about us, K?

Driving alone, and eating much icecream...and drinking much Limeaide...Gotsta love it!!!

Anyways now we are gone...15.5 hour drive, so yes...goodnight to you all!!

"there's no place like home!!!"

LEGO Rules the World!!

2005-05-14T21:45:00.000-04:00

You so need to check this out!!!

LEGO is taking over completely!!

I love LEGO...I remember playing with LEGO when I was little!

LEGO uses Imagination...encourage those kids brains to be used well...

Anyways...the Link you need to see!!

This is my personal FAVORITE! LEGO friend...just think, you can see him there all night long...watching you like a presence that never leaves you!!

What is up with the blood and gore...and other stuff too??

Who did I think I was?

2005-05-11T12:08:00.000-04:00

Do you ever find yourself getting all ready to do something and being all excited about it...and then all of a sudden reality steps in, and you realize that you can't even do it? Like there is no way you can afford it, or handle it, or even realistically see yourself going through with it.

This is one of the wonderful things that has happened to me yesterday! I was planning this trip to a place i love so much, but have never gotten to go to. Then, I was at cell, and we were doing some of the things that i am going to be doing the whole time I'm away...I hated it!!(I'm just so not into praying for signs and wonders on the streets of TO...I just don't know why, but I'm like bored when it starts...I used to love it.) I wanted to leave, and wait 'till they were done and could drive me back...I then began to wonder...if i don't want to be in this for 1 hour then what the heck am i gonna do for 4 days of it?? And REALITY set back in!!

Who was I thinking I was, that I would still want to be there... But, it wasn't my idea, it was God's he clearly spoke to me that I was to drive there this month and that I was to bring art stuff and rebuild my artistic side all over again! So, what the heck was He thinking? Who does the think I am...i guess i am who he thinks i am...in reality...but I suppose I'm just not seeing it right now.

And the money, it's growing every day! It's costing way more than I was planning for, it's constantly exceeding my posabilities. I have the money, it's just that I'm saiving it for school next year. if God's said go and keeps making things work so it's even possible for me to go, then why isn't He making it so that I can afford it? I just really really would love His help in this right now...

It so sucks that I'm not at all excited anymore!! It was so cool and then I remembered the real me...I'm still trying to get there with all that is inme, because I really want to be faithful in going where God says when God says... So I'll keep pressing on.... Even if it sucks...

Beautiful Niece...Lillee

2005-05-08T23:35:00.000-04:00

I would just like to Say Happy 2 Month Birthday to my Niece...and Share some of her Beauty with you all!!!
I love her to Many Pieces!!!

Bethany on Google

~Unclaimed Fries~

2005-05-04T18:53:00.000-04:00

Can I just say that I was at church all day today, and was for sure getting board at like 12ish...did some errands for my mommy...then I was sitting at the computer just playing some games when Jan invited me to join them in a trip to that changed my whole day!!!

I was so bored...so going anywhere would be an improvement.

We get there and then Mark orders and gets his extras...i.e. napkins, katsup, fork...and 2 straws. As Jan finishes ordering Mark has the two straws balancing behind his ears...Jan really doesn't like it and says there is no way she is going to use that...Mark points out the fact that they are in paper wrappers and Jan precedes to ask me to explain to him just how special and corky she is.

As they are having this discussion the Lady (lets call her Wendy...I think it is fitting) has put Jan's fries in a bag and is waiting for the burger...then she begins to get the next person's stuff ready...(our order was to go, and the next guy's was 'for hear') So Wendy puts the man's fries on his tray...

Jan inquires about her order being ready yet, and Wendy shares the delay of the burger...so Jan reaches out to grab some fries...off the tray...

I'm like ahh..."those aren't yours." and Jan's like "what?" and I'm like oops...

She turns to the man behind us and says, "I touched your fries, I'm sorry..."

He just stares at us like we are total freaks and then Wendy (with a similar look) is like don't worry...and she places the second large fries in Jan's bag...dude I was like "hay I'll take 'em." Mark's like "she just put them in your bag..."

So Jan pulls them out and hands them to me...She tells Wendy that she is "so sorry" as she was passing by and then says "Beck's not."

We step out of the doors to be run over by a pack of Mennonite people and then we get in the car as Jan discusses how it isn't fair that the guys look the same as us, but the woman all have to wear the ugly clothes..."just keep those woman down!!" as she is disgusted with it's unfairness...

Then we all get WAY distracted by a van COVERED in pennies!!! I mean covered...half of it was turning green with the copper rust!! It was so cool!

Thank you Jan for the unclaimed fries...they were filling!!!

How To Prepare Chicken...

2005-05-03T16:26:00.000-04:00

A waiter asks a man, “May I take your order, sir?”

“Yes,” the man replies. “I’m just wondering, exactly how do you prepare your chickens?”

“Nothing special, sir. We just tell them straight out that they’re going to die.”

Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

2005-05-01T09:58:00.000-04:00

So, there is a show that I am passionate about, and the most incredible thing happened.

Warrick...who is usually not that interesting...said a most perfect line, which should have been said by Gil Grissom, because he says most of the good..."or bad"...lines!!

Anyways, there we were (bethany of the critchley origin and myself) in my room in the dark, as we like it to be for the bestest of shows, at like 1:30 am...engrossed by the show. The new episode! (beth was taken by greg, and I just love to watch Catherine!! we love them both though, don't get me wrong...)

When out of nowhere Warrick was going nuts with his overwhelming speach to greg about all the things he is doing wrong and how he should be more organized like warrick is when the most brilliant of sentances came out of his mouth...."Are you picking up what I'm putting down?"

I imidiately turned to bethany and said i was so going to steal that phrase and blog about it...then she decided it was to be a race and she was going to get to it first...but clearly, She was wrong!!..."or was she wronged?" as Grissom would say.

What are you made of ?

2005-04-30T20:51:00.000-04:00

What is the original design and outline of you? The DNA, the graph that first appeared in God's mind before you were born...so sappy!!

So not me...

But this is!!

Look What I Can Do...

ONIONS!!...What else has Layers?? WHY?

2005-04-27T23:26:00.000-04:00

*************************************************************

A wedding cake has many layers, right? at least most do!!

Did you know that when a couple get married they are supposed to have the top layer made of a Friut Cake type recipee...?

They are to take the WHOLE top layer off of the cake and then they feeze it...

For those of you who have no idea where this is going: GUESS WHAT THEY DO NEXT?? They Take it out and thaw it on their 1st anniversary...

NEXT?? That is correct: "THEY EAT IT!!!"

One year old cake that never tasted good in the first place. They defile their First Anniversary (Which you only get to have ONCE, i might add) with a psych..and twisted OLD richual (probably satanic...or superstitious anyways) that is gross and means nothing to them in the first place!!

So not worth it, in my oppinion....

My wedding cake is going to be cupcakes made by children...or a fancy DELISIOUS large one...or mabe it will be like 20 different kinds that you pick from...or better yet...POT-LUCK DESSERTS!!!!

Who cares... just no old fruit cake crap that i use as a freezer block for 365 most wonderful days of my life, only to be ruined by the awefull idea that was probably meant for insurance that you would at least have a dessert that the WOMAN (barefoot and prego in the kitchen) didn't need to slave over all day!!!

Yup, no one-tenth of a decade old excuse for food for me.

How much do I hate money? Well, that is a question of un-ending response!!

In this lovely world we are controlled by a thing we know and the cha-ching$?? But, what is up with it.

K, so my parents are incredible people who have been faithful to God and His calls for them as long as I've been alive!! And yet they find themselves in thousands...I'm talking like over 30,000 $Dollars$ in debt. And that is only our bills and taxes!! What is up with that? And this woman that I have known most of my life, who uses her money for things like excessive shopping, and things like lottery tickets and whatever!! And she is continually getting promotions and bonuses and all sorts of financial blessings!! And then there are the people who are missionaries, and they actually do get the money that they need from God.

So my parents became missionaries in 1998, and we came here to Toronto to work at the Scott Mission downtown, and we did. Much has happened since then and they have been so faithful...I've seen it, and yet we can't afford our house, car, gas, electricity, phone, heat, or food. I felt God telling me to start tithing to my parents last month because of how much they have poured into me, and I knew he wanted me to give it to them in Gift cards for the Superstore around the corner from our house. This week I found out that they have so little money that they couldn't afford to buy food, I then realized why God had been directing me in that direction!

This isn't for people to feel sorry for me, or for them to think we are in the poor category...we aren't! We have a beautiful house in a nice neighbourhood, and a good car...etc...etc. This is just to comment on the fact that I would think that I do not deserve the good prosperity that I have as much as they do, and yet I am the one who has it!!

So what is up with money? Why do some get it and others not? Why is it so stressful when you are running out? How are we supposed to account for the old retired people who are on fixed pensions when the cost of living goes up every year? It's not like their costs go down, it's the opposite!! With all the medical and house care they need their costs go up and so does the cost of those costs, and yet the check that comes in the mail for them is fixed and never changes!! Aren't we supposed to care for our elders?

I seriously just want to comment that I hate money, and that we can never escape the needing of it!! We will always need it, and will always be bound by that need in order to survive, but that is what sucks the most! That even though we kno it is ruling over us, we cannot leave it in the dust...unless we are simply walking in the wilderness and fending for ourselves on an Island or something...but even then, I'm not sure there would be enough dust...unless there is a chunk of desert there and you have money on one side and then you begin to run really really fast...then it might work!!

Anyways...this is just a ...rambling... of all that's in my head...MASTER MIND!!

:o)

Is there a POINT??

2005-04-08T21:43:00.000-04:00

Is there a point? I really want to know.

A point to your blogging or mine?

A point to the yellow traffic light being called Amber?
...who is AMBER anyways? The traffic light inventors girlfriend? Long-lost lover...or highschool sweetheart? or maybe a little sister...maybe the inventor was a girl in the first place and that IS her name...

A point to the word Weird?
...does weird even exist? if everyone is weird(and I'm sure that we have all experienced being called that at least once) then is everyone normal...or is what we think is normal actually the weird thing?

A point to Rebellion?
...seriously, if you are resisting one normality for another than your not really doing anything different...if you leave one kind of clone(like a parent or leader) for another(like punks, friends, drugs, you pick) then you are still following the crowd...there isn't anything that others haven't already done...and so then are you actually rebelling or are you just switching your alliances?

A point to my NOT wanting a blog?
...was there even a reason for my not wanting this in the first place...was there a genuine meaning? Was it just the fact that i was wanting to be unique, and different...to go against the tide...or flow(this special word has been brought to you in honour of Bethanee Critchley) ...was i thinking or just not thinking...did i just want to argue?? if you know the answer please comment...or if you think you know that is...

A point to Locking you home...or lack there of?
...if you don't lock your home than you are showing you have total faith in God and are taking a step of faith...yet, your not using wisdom...if you do lock it then you are saying you don't fully trust God with your house, or even that all you have is totally His and you are not bound by earthly possessions...yet you are being a good steward of what he has given you charge over...so lock or no lock?? does it even matter?

A point to a pencil?
...Damb, there is a point, it's the lead...Dang it...

"Holy Long John Silver Batman she's done!!!"

2005-03-06T14:34:00.000-05:00

K, so i must tell you all...or the few who actually read this...that i am a PROUD Auntie!!! That is right. My brother Christian Lee Poulsen has a little beautiful girlie. She was born on Sunday and is slightly larger than 6 lb.s and is slightly longer than 9 in. skinny baby!!! Brittany is the momie, and my parents are now official Nana and Boompa...how cute is that??? I love her even though we haven't met, but we will meet this weekend, and photos will be shown!!!In fact they already are!! And the Name was ispired by my brothers middle name...lee...so she is little lee!! Cute? YUP!

Here is the story of SUNDAY!!!

I was asleep in my bed, it was just getting light. When suddenly i was abruptly jolted from my sleep at good ol' 7:30 am to the lovely sound of "STINKY!!!" over my bed. It was my second-oldest-brother Chrish yelling out my childhood nickname over my beauty sleep chamber of peace. (Nickname: I smelled like a girl and to the 5 boys that meant i stunk...honestly it is the real reason, after 5 of them they knew what babies smelled like) Next thing i knew...(before i even recognized him) since he doesn't live there anymore...he was throwing $60 on me and telling me in a hyper stressed and confused manner that he is stealing the car and we can take a cab to and from church...remember at this point i didn't even know who he was...I was like, "What???" So he said it again. And then he took off out of my room in a frenzy saying, "Brittany is in labour!" By then i knew what was happening i was so dazed and only knew one thing, 'i need to tell my parents'...I ran to my parents room to tell them and awaken them from a similar state, but in a sweeter more drowsy daughter style. By then he was on his way to Kitchener already to stand by Brittany's side!!! Wow, fun day. We got news around 10ish that she had arrived and he got to help with the delivery and it was a beautiful thing...I loved this news and told everyone i could find that I was officially Auntie Becky!! (only leaving most of them in some confused and weird thoughts of why are you an ant??...or at least Martin Elliott) So cool. My sis and i went shopping for little pink clothes (velvet jogging pants and ruffley hoodies with real pockets, little heart dress and shirts with hearts and soes and stockings and even a little hat...we had lost all sense of rational thinking by this point.) We saw video of her and her parents in the evening after my brother returned the car. My dad drove him back to spend the night with Brit and Lillee. My dad got to spend some time there and said they are a sweet little family! That Chrish is such a dad and he is taking so good care of Brittany.

This is my story...and i hope you've enjoyed it!!!

I most definitely did...even if i can't spell or think in a straight pattern. I like rabbits and their trails...what??? Your crazy there are no rabbits here...

Mack Truck

2005-03-01T23:31:00.000-05:00

I need to start off by saying that i feel as though i have just been run over, hit, thrown in the air by a Transport(Canada), Mac Truck(USofA) or a Lorry(Europe)!! I'm sure i also look it right now. I am dying of tyerdum, this may be a strange write because of it (but yet here i am writing because i have been issued some complaints... Some famous i.e. J-Lo, others not so much, but still dearly loved )
I'm delirious right about know, but still they tell me to work. The point of this entry? To tell you why i am tired and to share some of the weeks adventures:
So to start a week and a half ago it was a Friday (are you following so far? Well, weather or not you remember that, it still was and the fact remains) anywho, I was kinda sleepy because of a late night of packing after helping Sarah get ready for her trip to Haunduris. (spell much?) so there i was hanging out at youth until the Beth v. and i were going to begin a journey to the Critchley Habitation... When youth was completed we ventured out into the cold, only to end up with a hamster on our laps and people to drop off, and a Ventura parents giving us many parental advissions ;o) fun times!! After we brought hammy to her new home and then got stuff and OREO's (even the vanilla gold ones) we were off to Beth C.'s place. Well, can i just say far... next B-1(Beth V) fell asleep (no surprise there) B-2(Beth c) and i stayed up all night and at 4 in the am we woke B-1 up with eggs and toast which we SLAVED over at 3:30.
At 4:44 am we were off on an enthusiastic ride of the road!! Well, we got what we were asking for; by the time about 8 rolled around we had seen a shoe tree, nearly been abducted by a possible lesbo in Terra Cotta, surrounded by construction workers at Marge's Truck Stop, been very lost, almost drove off of a bridge that turned way to fast...and the climax of all climaxes...Hit some train tracks at full speed on the tip of what looked like a tinny hill but turned out to be much larger in percentage and got some wonderful air time with B3 all on the front bench of the old car we drive and we screamed at each other before hitting the ground (it takes 3 sec. for the human mind to react...thus saying we had more than that in air time if we were able to scream...thought? yes) where we ever so gracefully bottomed out puncturing... (denting and causing minor hole) in our transmission... and finally all freaked out with much to say about wonderful adventure and it being the most exhilarating moment of our lives and it not being on video, which it should have been, and also us being in the air for so long, and us never being able to top this one ever in our lives!!!! FUN FUN FUN. well, B-2 and i had not slept for so long and we all waited at the Midas in Guelph (where the guys there all loved us and called us the quartet because we sang the whole time we were there, though there were only 3 of us not four...mechanics! and where the guy who fixed our car stole it and drove away and teased us and made fun of us and we attacked him with snowballs and etc. etc.) for 3 hours for the car to be fixed for $185 (so worth it!!) and we entertained them in our hysterical state and we ended up napping in Godritch (where we got a hotel room...and was near lake heron) for 2 hours and eating pizza and then sleeping for 6 ish hours... and well we went shopping in London and then had lots of choco milk and then came home and then slept a few hours on Sunday night and then worked out mon...then WORK for FW05...zzzz...
