Confession Friday

I confess I didn't write a Manic Monday post because sometimes it is better not to say the things you are feeling/thinking and instead just let them pass.

I confess the sun came out today and the wee one and I went for a long walk around the river with a good friend and her baby.

I confess I had a date with Javier Bardem last night. I went to see his movie "Biutiful" and it was fantastic. He was fantastic! It has been so long since I have been to 1.)see a foreign film 2.) a movie by myself.

I confess I enjoy going to see a movie by myself now and then because 1.) You get to choose the movie and no one argues with you. 2.) You get to choose where in the theatre you get to sit - I like the front couple of rows 3.) No one talks to you so you can completely and utterly get lost in the film you are watching. (This is especially important when the film is subtitled like last night's movie was.) 4.) you get the popcorn all to yourself!

I confess I started back to yoga tonight after a long, long break and it felt so good to stretch and contort myself in unusual ways!!!

I confess we are going to see Bruce Cockburn on Sunday night and I am really looking forward to it.

I confess our wee boy is a funny little dude and makes us laugh daily!

I confess Blogger has been driving me crazy lately! It seems to have a mind of its own and it is pissing me off to no end!

I confess I am totally disillusioned by our political system right now and really am not sure voting for one particular party or another will make a difference. I will vote...don't get me wrong but the choices we have leave something to be desired. I also think the timing of this election is atrocious! Spring Election! Blech! I hate all those signs in people's yard...and for some reason the first ones to go up are always NDP. Why is that? (This statement does not allude to some kind of political bias.) And really aren't there more important things happening on the world stage right now and our government is basically at a stand still and can't participate or take action.

I confess you should read this post.

The T-Shirt Says It All

Channeling his inner Elvis maybe? Or Billy Idol?

Ya, Billy that's it!

Last summer my friend Laura came for a visit with her husband Chad and their daughter Sara.

She gave us these fabulous t-shirts for Ade.

The top t-shirt he wore when we walked thru the airport doors to greet our friends and family.

Laura and her family are waiting to bring home their wee son Seth who is a couple months younger than Ade. Their journey has been a long, tough process as well and I think of them everyday!

Please send some positive thoughs and prayers their way so Seth can come home to his family!

Nice, Cold Beer - Check!

Confession Friday

I confess today I am feeling sad and lonely.

I confess it has been a long week and while I was feeling the upside of things last week this week has been more of a slight slide downhill.

I confess I don't think it will ever be spring or summer here where I live. It is -16 this morning.

I confess there is a direct link between my mood and the weather. Because if I have nothing lined up for the week and I can't get outside for a walk at the very least it leaves me very sad indeed.

I confess this confession isn't as upbeat as last week. This leads me to believe the PPD support group leaders are right...there will be ups and there will be downs...

I confess I was happy to see MOWA issuing letters to families this week....now we just need to get everyone their letters...there are people who have been waiting way to long to be united with their children.

I confess it is date night Friday. This is something to look forward to.

I confess I could use a trip somewhere hot and tropical. Preferably where they serve drinks with umbrellas in them.

I confess I went to Costco last night with my sis-in-law and only spent $45...uh, ya $45!!!! That is some kind of miracle!

I confess thanks to a my excellent friend Lori I now have one new CD in my car stereo!

I confess it has been a long time since I escaped into a good book and I need to get my read on!

I confess I could really use a nice cold beer tonight!
