Day 354
Monday December 26, 2011
Another Christmas had come and gone and I have to admit I thoughly enjoyed every moment of it. The gods of holiday spirit though, seemed determined to rob me of mine, seriously.
I re-strained the tendons in my left arm, pulled my lower back, burned and blistered 3 fingers and 1 thumb on my right hand on a hot lid and had hot Ham juice soak the entire front of my dress. All in one day.
I don't think my game face held on through dinner (I've been told I looked grumpy) but I did learn something. Families change and as a result so do traditions. It's not a bad thing, just different. It's not always easy to accept that things will never be the same but what you have to look at is what fantastic new memories are being made.
If you're not able to bend when the winds of change arrive you'll find yourself twisted and broken and eventually discarded. Not a place I wanna be. So I learned to man up and move on...or at least I learned I want to.

'tis the season to be knee deep in christmas cookies. It's the one time of the year that eating our weight in tasty treats is not only expected but reveled in. Those who know me, know that I'm not much of a baker, but in the 2 weeks that lead up to Christmas I can't seem to stop myself.
Maybe it's because I'm hosting our families dinner this year...or maybe it's just the excitement of having all of the 'chores' done for the first time in ages and allowing myself to simply have fun.
I'm still scouring the net for more recipes...what new treat can i make? How much research can I do? Where would we be without the vast resources of the internet? Life has gone from a simple box filled with index cards to folders upon folders of favourite recipes.

Does it count if you took the picture a year ago and then finally got around to editing it a year later? I'm totally cheating but with all my time spent on other endeavors as of late there just hasn't been a lot to inspire photo taking.
There's hardly any snow out there and the sidewalks are so slippery going out for a walk to see what I can find, doesn't seem worth it. I just need a weeeee bit of snow. Please?

So in _no_ way is this shot within the spirit of the project but on Grey Cup Sunday, when the home team is in the game, is it really so wrong?

I've been remiss this past week in posting. It's not that I didn't have the time, it was just that there was only one picture that could have been this days...and I just couldn't find it in my heart to process the images I took. They broke my heart all over again...I can't describe Dodgers mood that afternoon.
He came over to see what I was doing on the floor...because in Dodgers mind there can only be one reason to be on the floor...to pet him of course. He saw the urn on the ground and headed over for a sniff. I'm pretty sure it was her collar he responded to but all of a sudden he pawed the collar/Urn and mewed pathetically.
The sadness that echoed through the room was almost deafening. Who knows...maybe he knew...or maybe he was just picking up on the sadness coming from me. Either way Ms. Boo came home to rest today.

Day 312
It's time to say goodbye my friend,
I'd hoped our time would never end.
You helped me through the bad and worse
I wish you didn't have to go.
We started this chapter hand in paw
I'll miss you more than words can say.
But you've let me know loud and clear
that your time to rest is finally here.
No one to guard my bath,
No one to steal my food.
No one to sit beside me,
while sickness took it's toll.
You came to me by chance
but i believe in fate.
You came into my life
and erased the pain & hate.
If not for you, dear princess Boo
life would have seemed less shiny.
But it's time to let you go sweet girl
I love you more than you'll ever know.
The tears are pouring down my face
as these words flow into place.
It's time to say goodbye Ms. Boo
Please know I will always love you
