Weekend adventure

This weekend that just past didn't quite turn out as we had hoped. Dan came down with a pretty high fever and was miserable. So we didn't get Kassy after all and we just spent the weekend cuddled up watching movies and getting him better. Work was interesting yesterday, we had a shop lifter come in and my boss Rob and I had to tackle her as she was thrashing about and trying to leave the store. I called the cops and we had our statements taken and whatnot. It made for a scary but eventful day. Dan wanted to make me a special meal as thanks for putting up with his sick self this weekend, so he went out and bought some sea foods and we had sushi and lobster and some ordurves of mussels and cheese, and of course some wine. What a guy! He spoils me and I feel oh so loved!

Just another day

So nothing much has gone on this week, lots of work and chores. This weekend both Dan and I have off and his daughter Kassy is coming down. We plan on taking her swimming and skating all on the same day. There is this community place that has lots of different activities and we thought this could be fun. I know its a strange combination, but hey we are Canadians and can handle it! Ha!
I have also just learned that I am going to be one of 200 poets chosen to be published in a book called "Best Poems and Poets of 2007" so its quite an honor. I have also been entered to win some cash prizes for my latest entries, very cool! If any of you want to view these poems they are all here on my blog or just type my name in the search poet field on http://www.poetry.com/. On this site you can also "rate" my work.
I will also upload some new photos from Valentines day and some other fun stuff as soon as I can. Love you all.

Valentines Day

So I accidentally erased my blog for Valentines day which is a pitty. But to sum it up, Dan and I spent a wonderful evening together with dinner at Greccos wine bar and we went ice skating with the snow gently falling and music playing in the background. All of which was quite romantic. He had got me a diamond studded dragonfly pendant and necklace and I had gotten him a leather banded roots watch. I love my gift especially cause he was so excited to give it me he woke up early and asked if I wanted it right away and jumped outta bed to grab it for me. He is a wonderful man and I am truely blessed to be with someone so sincere and honest with me.

Taking it all in

I realize I complain at times in writing but it is a good release for me, as I don't want to bottle it all up. I do apologize if I offend anyone with my rantings. Anyways, I've been thinking a lot lately and am happy with the condition of my condition! Ha. Life is pretty sweet and I really should be completely content and thankful for all my blessings.
Dan and I spent a quiet evening watching a movie and he made catfish and we had a glass of wine. It was delicious! I love when he cooks for me, which is honestly almost every night. We have a deal going cause I hate to cook, that if he cooks I pretty much take care of everything else, like dishes and cleaning. I don't mind cause I am picky when it comes to cleanliness and need things done a certain way, so it all works out.
I finished another painting as well. This one is on four small canvases and it is a close up of a womans face done in black and white. It looks really cool once the canvases are split up cause you can't quite tell what you are looking at. Well, thats just another day in the life of me.

Distraction

Have you ever spent a day thinking about stuff that has happened, and you dwell and dwell on it so much to the point that it makes you feel sick and distracted from the things going on around you? I have that problem sometimes and I don't know what to do about it.
I have cleared up the issue and discussed it and come to a conclusion to resolve it, but even then, I can't stop thinking about it. I may have a problem of holding on to unnessecary nonsense just to have a form of chaos within me. The sad truth is, that chaos has been a part of my life for so long that I am now finding reasons to keep it. Its crazy though, cause I really don't have it in my life, so I'm creating it.
What I'm trying to learn is that people have grown up differently than I. They don't have the same morals or the same take on life as to what is appropriate and what is not. I just have this ideal about relationships I guess, maybe its not realistic, but then how do I deal with this without feeling let down?
