Finding Fun in Simple Things

Welcome to the journal of Katie.

I am human.

with hopes and dreams
with flaws and imperfections
a need for love
and an open space around me

I cannot be caged
or held to this spot
I need to open my wings
and learn to survive on my own

I will be the product of my own design.

Moving?

Not far. Back to [info]rash_riot , my old account.

This one will be saved for my professional account, should I ever need one.

:]

Hope to see you all over there (I think most of you still watch that account anyways).

love love love


EEEEK!

Why oh WHY does the Star Wars concert have to be on a Tuesday? Tuesdays I have class from 10am till 8pm. *cries* And Wednesday's Shed has class in the morning.

BAHHHH

I MUST convince him to gooooooo! RAHHHHHHHHHHHH


Authentic movie props, C3PO, live orchestral music, huge screen. Condensed version of all six films showing the directors version of all key elements and characters/...

*faint*

It's a dream come true.

$180 for both of our tickets together. At least.


Now I must hotel shop and such so that I have a plan when I get to school today to convince him.

MUST


GO!!!!


(or I will die unfulfilled)

So, for the last few months, eljay has not been notifying me of replies to any comments I make. Not by email or anything. Don't know what to do.


Any suggestions?????

Got to talk to Kathryn on Skype today, which also meant seeing baby Aubrey.

CUUUUTE! she YAWNED an it was adorable I just want to pinch her cheeks!


well, thats all for tonight.

*sleepy*

Aubrey Lochall Holden
friendship
[info]kgartspeaks

Well, I'm in Newfoundland now. I love it here. It's no nice and relaxing.

But, I do wish I was at home.

Because....

Kathryn had a baby girl at 8:30(ish)am this day of August 15th, 2009.

Little Aubrey is sooooooo cute, from the pictures I've seen. I'm already in love with her and I can't wait to hold her in my arms.



They both look good, and they get to go home tomorrow. It was a natural birth, with no drugs other than a little laughing gas. Only about 6 official hours of labour, but it started yesterday morning mildly.
 
I cried when my boyfriend sent me this picture via camera phones, I was so happy. I still want to tear up when I think of Kathryn and the amazing experience she just had, and the little bundle she holds.


There She Goes....

Well, today I'm off to Newfoundland (but I'll only actually get there tomorrow. hhhaa :/)

I'm going to stay with my mom for two weeks, and work at the convenience store her and my step dad run. I'm so excited. :]

But at the same time, Kathryn hasn't yet had her baby, meaning I won't be here when little Aubrey is born. And that is quite upsetting. She was due on Monday, and if she's not born before next Wednesday or Thursday, they are going to induce her (which is where they break the sac so her water breaks and initiates labour)

As well, I am sad about leaving my very loving boyfriend for these two weeks.

I will probably update more when I'm in Newfieland.

The Ugly Truth

[info]kgartspeaks
For a mini anniversary celebration (read: excuse to go see a movie) Joao and I went to go see The Ugly Truth. It was really good. Incredibly funny, and quite close to the truth, if you mash up both of their beliefs and go with something in the middle. lol.

Kathryn's baby is due in 5 days. I wonder when she will actually give birth...... I hope soon, considering I leave on the 13th for Newfoundland.

Lake!

I'm heading to the lake with  my boyfriend this morning to enjoy the cool water before all the heat breaks loose. I leave next Thursday for Newfoundland, and Friday to Tuesday I work full time, so I want to spend time with my lovely boyfriend. :] And this Friday we will have been together for 7 months.

The sun set tonight amidst a sky of red, and the flames of an all consuming fire. Plumes of ash and smoke rose higher and ever outward till they seemed to fill the sky on all sides.

I watched Braveheart for the first time tonight. It was pretty brutal, and the ending was WOAH.

But my reason for this post:



This is my dear Moon, and you can't see them very well in this photo, but she has black stripes all over her. I can't wait to see what she will look like as a adult.

Also, my boyfriend and I have been talking about our relationship, and we're both super excited to live together for another year and a half to gain "Common Law" status.

A Rare Update
island
[info]kgartspeaks
I know I don't update anywhere near as often as I should, but .....

First off, my boyfriend is making supper tonight! And it's not just warming up frozen food! : D He's actually making strogonoff on rice, with taco bell style fries on the side. I'm super excited.

My kitty is adorable. She's got an obsession with licking my face (especially my nose), and batting my eye. I got a body leash for her, but she's too small and can step right out of it on it's smallest setting. :/ No outside for Moon yet.

Kathryn's due date is coming up fast (August 10th), and her doctor told her she will probably give birth about a week early! Oh my! I'm so excited to meet little Aubrey Lochall Holden.

I had more to update about, but I think this is all I'm going to write for now (it'll give me a reason to come back on here and write some more.)

Kitty! :3

We bought a kitten yesterday. SHE'S SO CUTE!

:3

Moon is her name, after Monday being the Moonday in most languages. She's all black right now, and only two months old, but it looks like she might get some grey spots on her (craters? lol)

Pictures soon. And art too. Since we're keeping her in our room till she's a little bigger, we get to spend lots of time with her, and she's already warming up to us. So I'm going to use her as an excuse to do animal art. :]

Also, my lappy is in for repairs, so I'm using Shed's for all of my computerly tasks.

Have a fantabulous week, ElJay.

Happy Belated Canada Day
friendship
[info]kgartspeaks
Yesterday was quite a busy day. We went to the lake with  a few international students, I got totally sunburnt, and Shed's paternal Grandmother died. Then we picked up his mom and sister at the Grayhound station and went back to the lake, after breaking the news of the death to them.

xoxo

Happy belated Canada Day, and Happy early Independance Day for the Americans.

House full of joy

We had a roomie finally move in a few days ago. Now the house is full of furniture and stuff.

I miss stuff.

having STUFF that is not mine, surrounding me.

:]

We also have an awesome wraparound couch/pull out bed thing that is great. Don't have to make the bed now, just tuck it all away.

: D

I still have no job. Blah. Trying to sell my duct tape wallets on e-bay, but some guy's E-store is stealing all the customers. lol

I'll just have to make something better.

What kinds of things would you guys buy if it was on a wallet?

Pikachu? Hello Kitty? Anime shit? Music? Which bands?

Telllllll meeeeeeee.! :3

Hermit Crab
cookies and milk
[info]kgartspeaks
I've been meaning to buy a ten-gallon tank for my hermit crab. He needs more room to live/play in. He gets so bored in the one he's in right now, and just sleeps all the time. I don't want to lose him, especially now that he's the only one I have.

So a day or so ago, I decided I'm going to make a tank for them. I'll get the dimensions for ten-gallon tanks, and make my own out of Plexiglass and Silicone. : D And it's going to be more like two five-gallon tanks, since I'm putting a piece of Plexiglass down the centre to make it have two different environments for the little guy to play in.

Crabs need deep sand to dig and bury themselves in for when they are molting, or upset. So one side will have sand in it, along with the food and water dish. And the other side will be bark and other climbing stuff for a fun and interaction playroom that I can constantly change around to keep it exciting. I'll probably get another Hermie as well, so they can play together.

I'll post pictures when I'm finished. I'm getting the materials tomorrow, and depending on what Shed and I end up doing when we get home, I might get started on it tomorrow.

Crabspam tiem!


This is the table I had designated as the Crab Table. XD Poor guy has less than a quarter of it to himself.


The shelving here is what inspired my Crabitat. Sheldon is so obsessed with exploring both of these compartments individually, that I got to thinking about a divided crabitat.


Queen of Tonsillitis
dog
[info]kgartspeaks
yep.

I've got tonsillitis again. And an ear infection. What else is new.

All I've been doing the past four days is watching CSI and CSI: NY. laaame.

but they're soooooo goooooood. ;o;

I was never that into them before, so they were all new episodes, and Spike TV plays like, 6 hours of it.

D:

I hate being sick.Everything I eat wants to be thrown back up again, and three hours after I had broccoli and cheddar soup, I could still taste it when I swallowed. EEEWWW

Well, enough about Sicky McGee.

I hope no one else is sick.

oh. P.S My mom spent another night in the hospital last night, when she mixed Benylyn with her anxiety meds. It's like ODing. D: Rough times. Two near heart attacks in six months. Tip from the doctor: if your not sure whether you can take regular cold medicine, do this. 1) For a sore throat, take honey. 2) For a stuffy/runny etc nose, use the nasal sprays.

Tip of the day from Katie. lol

Other than that, I'm good.

I might be getting a job at the local grocery store, but it's no guarantee. It would be nice to be able to bring home groceries more often. lol

Today there were some wicked storm clouds coming our way, but by the time they got to us, it was hardly even enough rain to fill a bucket. D: I want THUNDER and LIGHTNING!

Oh, and I coloured a very old artwork from about three years ago, and am just waiting to hook up a printer/scanner to my computer so I can submit it. :]

Hope everyone is having a good spring!
