This Blog Has Moved!

I moved my blog on New Years Day, 2010. If you haven't come to see my new blog, head on over HERE now. This blog will be available for archive reading but I won't be posting here anymore. I hope you'll join me at my new bloggy home!

p.s. I am slowly but surely moving all the blogs I follow over to the new blog, so if I haven't come to visit you for a while, my advice is to leave a comment on my new blog, so I don't miss you in the shuffle!

About Me

My photo
I am a bereaved mother and wife. I began this blog to help me look for the "good things" in life after my daughter, "Babybear", died in July 2005. Three years later, her daddy, my husband, "Bear", died in November 2008. (You'll find a link to their stories on my blog) And now, as difficult as it is, I continue to look for the good things in my life as I learn my new normal with my pup, "Furrybear", at my side. And the angels on my shoulder...

Friday Fragments: Friday Again?!



Welcome to Friday Fragments!

**********

I can't believe it's Friday already! This week seemed to fly by (and yet, it felt like one very, very long day!)

*********

Rain Rain Rain.
That's all it did this week.
oh, and Rained some more!
(we even had a tornado warning!)

**********

The rain is making me ache all over.

**********

Remember this post?

I went to buy one that week at Canadian Tire.
They were all sold out, so I put a rain check on it.
But when I called to see if they were in stock yet, I was told they weren't yet there.
Then I asked if I can reserve specific color. They told me they only get them in white.
I decided I did not really want a white one. So much to my disappointment, I waited.
I kicked myself for not going to the other stores that had it on sale. Maybe they had it in other colors.
But the Friday before my daughter's birthday (and our anniversary) it went on sale at
Zellers.
For an even better deal than before!
So I went, and they had it in black. I bought it!
I love it!
I've used it a few times already.
Totally worth the wait!

Thank you to everyone who answered the poll in this post.
I made my next batch of apple muffins without peeling the
crabapples.
It turned out just fine! (but it still took FOR-EV-ER to chop up 3 cups worth of apples for the recipe!)
I also made some Pork Juice. My friend Alli's recipe! Go bug her if you want the recipe.
I just wanted to use up the 4 litre bucket of apples before it all went bad!
I still have half a bucket to use! (started with two full 4 litre ice cream buckets full of
crabapples. Made 3 dozen apple muffins, and the pork juice.)
There's still TONS of apples on the tree... but too rainy to go pluck them off. I hope I can get some more off before they fall and rot on the ground (which will just mean extra raking and
puh-lease, I have enough to do)

Notice the scrolling Blog Roll on my sidebar?
It looks like this:




If you would like your blog button to be added to it, just let me know!
And if you would like to make one on your own blog, here's the tutorial! It's really simple!

We all know that the Pink Ribbon signifies Breast Cancer, but what color ribbon is for cancer in general? I ask because, as you know, my husband had cancer. So, I'm just curious.


This one is the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Ribbon:

If you've been reading my other blog, then you know that both my Father-In-Law and my
Gramma-In-Law are very sick. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. I will post updates on that blog as they come.

edit: my father-in-law died this morning.

**********

This week will be a busy one as I prepare to go out of town for my brother's wedding next weekend, and trying to play catch up around my house.

**********

I'm really disappointed about Photography School not working out. I didn't think I was really wanting to go but now that I can't, I feel bummed out about it. (I know they asked me to come next year but next year seems so far away. It takes alot of effort to look ahead to tomorrow, let alone a year away from now.)

Not sure what to do with myself. I know I need to look for a job but I just... don't feel like it. I begin to hyperventalate anytime I think about it. Ugh!

**********

And did I mention, it's been raining?
Every day this week?
And it shows no signs of stopping?!

Thanks for the link to make a scrolling blog roll! I have been wanting to do that but did not know how!

Have a great weekend! :0)

Looks like the lavender ribbon is for general cancer awareness but there are ribbon colors for specific cancers as well.

I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law. My condolences.

I'm happy about your mixer though ... sometimes things DO work out.

And now that your realize you did want photography school, follow up on that!

And I love the kitties!

And rain sucks.

And the other day, we saw a ribbon on a car that we'd never seen and it was a "joke" one for "Lap Dancers."

I am so sorry to hear about your father in law.

I'm sick of the rain too..it's downright depressing. I hope you got out to enjoy the little bit of sunshine we had over the weekend.
