I wanna be an artist





I want to be someone who has paint stained clothes, red hair in a messy bun, oil pastel stained under her nails, drawing pencils slid in behind the ear, hands are sticky from glue and craft supplies in disarray. In a studio with big windows letting in natural light with shelves filled with canvases, cameras, rolls of film, yarn, jars filled with paintbrushes, buttons, ribbons and more.

Long awaited update

Wow it has been forever since I posted on here. Sorry for keeping everyone in the dark. I've always either too tired or lazy. :P Just to get you up to speed:

Work: The only place I am working at now is the Wal-Mart Portrait Studio as a Manager (it's a temp position for a year, but this will help me get my feet wet and help me grow and test myself in many ways). I will still help out at Jemini (ice arena) here and there but ONLY if I'm available to them, they know this and love that I'm doing something that will help me in the long run.

Home: Jen is moving out here beginning of Aug and we are all so excited to have her finally here. Pam, Danny, Brooklyn, and Cassidy are moving to Calgary this summer so now we are only 5 hours away to visit them instead of 8/9.

Summer plans: Other than working I'm going on a fishing trip with my Harder side in mid July at Sioux Narrows, which I am VERY looking forward too. also a few trips back to MB here and there for my sis's b-day and Jordana's wedding.

Hobbies: I've taken up knitting (with a circular loom) making hats, and I'm getting better each time. Also doing some painting and reading whenever I can find time.

Other: My grandma Otto had some sort of skin infection but is doing better, so that's good, just wish she wouldn't have to be in the hospital anymore.

And that's really about it. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Second Chance by Sinedown


My eyes are open wide
And by the way, I made it
Through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out
Today

I just saw Hayley's comet
She waved
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Please don't cry
One tear for me
I'm not afraid of
What I have to say
This is my one and
Only voice
So listen close, it's
Only for today

I just saw Hayley's comet
She waved
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Here's my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance [x2]


This song is exactly what I'm going through. Well I've been going through it for the past year. I've started to stand up for myself more now, hope that helps to stop this nonsense.

What I've been up to...



Once again I've been away from the blog world.
This is what I've been doing:

Learning to knit with a circular loom:

Painting: (hey gotta start somewheres lol)






Then today I painted my nails with OPI's Barefoot in Barcelona.
I'm really liking this color.


Been switching jobs and dealing with scheduling conflicts with is never fun. Another thing that's not fun is getting sick. We drove home Saturday night all the way through and I haven't totally recovered.

Like I said we just got all our stuff from Manitoba and brought it home so our house is FULL of boxes that need to be unpacked. Which I'm gonna go do right now. Hope you are doing well and I'll update again soon... hopefully. :P
