Spring Reading Thing 2011: An Update

Hello all!!  Just wanted to let you know how my reading is progressing.  I finished "The House at Riverton" last week.  Very good book.  Totally a good read.  Kate Morton did not disappoint.  I added another book to my list that I MUST read by the beginning of July.  My Rangers and I are doing a challenge where we all read the same book and then discuss it!  I love it.  Anyway, we are reading "Water for Elephants".  So far?  Well, it's okay.  I am not sure I would pick this book to read on my own.  It's well written and all, but I have no interest in the circus whatsoever.  Anyway, hopefully I will be done it in a couple of weeks and then on to another book....

There are several I am interested in reading. "The Paris Wife" is the story of Hemingway's wife.  I think that sounds awesome.  There is also "Sarah's Key" that looks good.  Also, "The Secret Daughter" and "Room".  Anyway, you know what I'll be doing this summer!! READING!!

On a side note, what do you all think about e-readers?  I would be interested to know your opinion.  I recently have said that I would NEVER buy one...BUT if you could highlight and save sections and quotes...Then easily find them later....That would be awesome.  I don't know if you can or not, but still....Anyway, share your thoughts!!

Here's my updated reading list...

1) Little Bee - Chris Cleave (Read)

2)  Lake of Dreams - Kim Edwards (Read)
3) The House at Riverton - Kate Morton (Read)
4) The Distant Hours - Kate Morton
5) Bringing Up Boys - Dr. James Dobson (Read)
6) Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen (Currently Reading)

Ahhh... Mr. Darcy

So I was in Starbucks yesterday morning.  Emma was in Preschool, so you will often find me here.  I like to go and do homework, read, spend time with God and, of course, have a coffee.  Yesterday was a regular morning, until I looked up.

There at a table across the way was Colin Firth's twin brother.  Okay.  He had glasses.  He also had some unwanted facial hair (I say unwanted because Colin (we're on a first name basis) doesn't have any)!  He was also a bit chubbier.  But still.  The eyes.  The dimples, the hair...It was all there.

Needless to say, I did the next most important thing: sent a text to my sister and hubby.  Jen wanted me to get a picture.  Jonathan thought I should go up and start talking in an English accent.  I did neither of those.  First of all, he was looking down the whole time doing a crossword puzzle (not writing his sister Georgiana).  Secondly, he left quite abruptly after receiving a phone call which made him quite perturbed (or proud - hard to say).  So, we will have to content ourselves with pictures of the original man himself!

I had to share.  Now I have a huge urge to watch P&P.  If you wonder what I am doing this weekend, that will probably be on my list!!  Until then, enjoy this fan video, which I've shared before, but it bears repeating!!

My Dad...

My Dad's cancer is back in his other lung. We found out a week and a half ago. Life has been hard since then. One day at a time is all we can do. We will know more when he goes to see an oncologist here in Calgary. No more flying to Toronto. He will do all his appointments and such from here. The truth is that they won't be able to do much. Just take away the pain when it comes. So, we have been praying (God still works miracles), and just reflecting on life and what we want to do with Dad this coming year (Hopefully a year).

Anyway, it is hard, but we are getting through it. The prayers have been great. I can feel God with me since we found out. Prayer is amazing. Also, God has been speaking to me through worship, the service last night, my Bible study on Mondays...He's just been there, which is AWESOME!! God is so good. I will trust in Him through this time. It's all I can do!!

Here's the song that I have been listening to this morning. Jonathan is on worship team this weekend and they are doing this song. I LOVE the words. So timely!!

I hope that you are all having a good weekend. I will give you updates on the Dad when I have them. Thanks for all you support and prayers. I know they will be awesome!!

Tuesday Tunes: In Tha Muthahood!

It's been a rough week, so here's a little something funny to remind me that I am not alone in this strange place called "muthahood"! Check it out, yo!

Spring Into Reading Thing 2011: An Update

An update... Here's what I have Read so far!!  Good stuff.  I may continue to do well, as long as all the books I want come in to the library on time!!  Today I begin another Kate Morton book, "House at Riverton".  I will hopefully have a chance to read on Monday when the polling is slow at the elections.  (I'm working as a PO - poll clerk!)  Anyway, I will keep you updated!!

1)  Little Bee - Chris Cleave (Read)

2)  Lake of Dreams - Kim Edwards (Read)
3) The House at Riverton - Kate Morton (currently reading)

Christ is Risen Indeed!!

 After the Sabbath, as the first light of the new week dawned, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to keep vigil at the tomb. Suddenly the earth reeled and rocked under their feet as God's angel came down from heaven, came right up to where they were standing. He rolled back the stone and then sat on it. Shafts of lightning blazed from him. His garments shimmered snow-white. The guards at the tomb were scared to death. They were so frightened, they couldn't move.

The angel spoke to the women: "There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed.

Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples, 'He is risen from the dead. He is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.' That's the message."

The women, deep in wonder and full of joy, lost no time in leaving the tomb. They ran to tell the disciples. Then Jesus met them, stopping them in their tracks. "Good morning!" he said. They fell to their knees, embraced his feet, and worshiped him. Jesus said, "You're holding on to me for dear life! Don't be frightened like that. Go tell my brothers that they are to go to Galilee, andthat I'll meet them there."

Matthew 28: 1-10 (The Message)

Holy Week Song #1... (And Tuesday Tunes)

Recently been playing around with Tumblr.  Not crazy about it, but it is cool that you can upload songs, audio, video, etc.

Anyway, you will have to go here: http://parisenbleu.tumblr.com/post/4756902167/holy-week-where-the-nails-were-all-rights-go for today's blog post and song!  Yes, it is me singing...long, long ago...  Still love this song, though.

Tuesday Tunes: Crazy Tonight!!

It's Monday....

Here we are, at the start of a new week.  A busy one, too.  Lots going on.

Tonight I am leading worship at my Bible study.  I am excited since I am doing a little something different.  A mini Good Friday service, if you will.  Should be interesting...  First time doing something like this, but I believe it is totally from God.  I will continue to pray all day so that God will be at the center no matter what.

Also, starting to tutor on Wednesday.  My Mom and I are team tutoring.  It should be good.

Thursday night, my sister and I are going to see Frank Warren the PostSecret guy.  I am so excited.  He is having a book signing afterwards that I think we will try and stay for.  I mean, it's Frank.  I feel like I know him, even though I don't...not really anyway.  All of the proceeds go to the Suicide Prevention Line, so it is for a good cause.  Anyway, check the website (www.postsecret.com) if you have no idea what I am talking about.

Friday I am off to horseback riding camp for the night.  We are back Saturday night at 9 or so.  I am excited because I don't get to ride horses very often.  Jonathan is allergic to them, which means I will have to throw all my clothes in the wash as SOON as I get home.  Then head straight into the shower.  Do not pass go.  Do not collect $200...

Anyway, I am very excited about this week, but I am also getting tired just thinking about it!!  Ah well, God will give me strength!  Here is one of the awesome songs I am doing tonight!!  Enjoy!

Friday Fill-in: Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun...

Happy Friday, everyone!!  Sorry it has been awhile again.  I am trying to sneak in some homework, worship prep for Bible study and some real quality time with the kids.  Also, I have been seriously trying to write...stories, that is.  Anyway, if you are wondering where I am, that's where.


Here's a Fill-in, though.  Thought I could at least do that!!

And...here we go! 

1. In the near darkness I wake in the morning to the alarm.  And then I sigh...At least it's Friday today!!

2. I will be drinking coffee this morning till further notice.  It's just one of those mornings, ya know?

3. But this song, though horrid, always gets stuck in my head!!
(Hee! Hee!  Now it's in yours!!)

4. I'd like to throw all of the housework I have to do in the stream. Perhaps it would just float away???  Maybe I should just do it instead!!

5. It's always nice to wake up to the sun shining, the birds singing and the fresh smell of coffee.

6. We have small group on Sunday which is always good, especially now that we are studying Hosea, and is filled with pleasant company.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to doing some more of our couple study that the hubby and I are doing, and perhaps watching a movie, tomorrow my plans include driving people places and then doing the WHOLE large group time (twice!!) for Promiseland and Sunday, I want to relax, go to small group, and then relax some more!!

Spring Into Reading Thing 2011

I am participating in the Spring into Reading since I enjoyed the fall one so much.  Here is my list of books.  I will add to it as I go on.  I will have to be done Lake of Dreams by Sunday since it has to go back to the library...  Then I will move on...

1)  Little Bee - Chris Cleave (Read)


2)  Lake of Dreams - Kim Edwards (Currently Reading)
3) The House at Riverton - Kate Morton
4) The Distant Hours - Kate Morton
5) Bringing Up Boys - James Dobson
6) ...

Hard Times

Well, the job prospects are looking more and more bleak.  They are laying off more staff in the school system this coming year.  So, what now?  What does God have in store?  I am not sure.  I know He has brought me to this place in time for a reason.  Maybe He's pushing me to something that I don't think I can do...like writing or something like that.  Anyway, I will wait and ask for prayer for patience and wisdom about what He wants me to do.  I will keep you posted.

In any case, Tangled comes out next week.  If you haven't seen it, please make sure you do.  It is REALLY good.  One of the best princess movies ever.  I pre-ordered my copy, if just so I can watch it.  I can't wait till it arrives on my doorstep!  Until then, here's the song from my favorite scene with the floating lanterns...So romantic and so beautiful.  I cried....

A Page from my Journal...March 18

FOR TODAY


Outside my window... It is going to be a lovely, yet chilly day.  Cars pass quickly on their way to work

I am thinking...  That I soon have to get Aidan up and dressed for school.  He has his Arts-Centered performance today.

I am thankful for... The nice weather we have been having lately.

From the kitchen...  The smell of coffee wafts in.  Mmmm coffee!

I am wearing...  Jeans, a long sleeved striped shirt with my black t-shirt over top (it has puffed sleeves!!)

I am creating... More videos soon of trips, birthdays, etc.  I hope to make some more DVDs soon.  The kids love watching themselves on TV!

I am going... To go to Aidan's school this morning and watch his performances.  Dancing and Choir!

I am reading... "Lake of Dreams" by Kim Edwards.  Its a bit eerie as it starts out with the main character living in Japan where they are experiencing lots of earthquakes....Perhaps it is too early to read a book with that kind of subject matter.

I am hoping... That the people in Japan are safe, and are going to be alright.  I pray for them often.

I am hearing...  The cars race pass and the coffee maker.

Around the house...  There are toys, clutter and dust.  A reminder that I need to clean before Aidan's party next week.

One of my favorite things...  Is just to sit in the silence before the kids get up.  So nice and calm...

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Well, church on Saturday, taxes, a Ranger meeting, laundry

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

(A picture of Banff, AB from Tunnel Mountain - Hubby and I are going there in a couple weeks...)

Friday Fill-in: Party Animals

Tomorrow is Miss Ems 4th birthday party.  She is really excited.  I hope everything goes alright.  She wanted an Animal birthday, so that is what we are going with!  Should be awesome.


Since I am busy cleaning, baking and prepping for 23 people (adults and kids) to descend on our modest abode, I leave you with a Friday Fill-in today!!

1. Bring your favorite mug and we can do coffee together.  Wouldn't that be fun?  With all my friends, internet and in person?  It would be fun to meet y'all.

2. Batteries are included.  Ever.  In toys.  Blah.

3. This cold weather is exactly what is making me go a little bit wonky.  I long for sun, warmth and flowers, butterflies, picnics, bbqs, bike rides, park playdates....

4. Well, you see, I am tired.  It is still early in the morning and my coffee hasn't kicked in yet.  That should explain everything!

5. I hope Spring comes soon!  

6. But what if it never stops being winter?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to decorating a cake for Emma's party with my Mom (I love cake decorating!), tomorrow my plans include throwing a birthday party for Miss Ems and then going rollerskating with my Ranger group (Please pray I don't break anything!) and Sunday, I want to take care of my blisters (I know there will be some from rollerskating), rest and relax and then watch The Amazing Race!

What I'm Singing Tonight!!

Sorry about the sound quality! Just my crappy microphone!!

Friday Fill-in: Camping

Off to camp today!!  Here's a little Friday Fill-in while I go pack!!




1. Ooooh, I have to go to camp this weekend.  Should be okay.  We are in buildings.  That will be nice.

2. It is so cold outside (-30*C/-22*F), I can't stand it!  I want spring to be here soon.  I want to do some gardening, play outside, go for walks...

3. How the heck did I end up with so many emails in my inbox?  I need to go through them again and trash a whole bunch....Time consuming, though.

4. The shoe store is one of my favorite places to visit.  I love shoes!!  I could have a whole room just devoted to shoe storage.  Wouldn't that be awesome???  Who's with me??

5. I'm not a lucky person, I'm not!  That being said, I have already won 2 coffees on Tim Horton's Roll Up the Rim to Win contest this year.  They have a button that the have to press and it makes a loud noise.  They also yell out "We have a winner!"  Makes you feel kinda special!!

6. I have been working on my testimony for Monday night and it has to be good.  Well, it doesn't have to be.  I just want to show God's work in my life for His Glory.  It has been fun to see where God has taken me.  Now if only I can find a song that I want to sing...

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to camp, tomorrow my plans include more camping and Sunday, I want to come home, take a shower, cuddle my kids and rest!

Happy Thinking Day!!

Lady Olave Baden-Powell's Last Message

Dear Guides, Scouts, Cubs and Brownies and all their leaders and friends,

I shall have left this world when you receive this message, which I leave to express my thanks for all the kindnesses and the affection shown to me, and to say how greatly I have rejoiced over the way in which you have carried out your share in the work of the Movement that my beloved husband invented, for the advancement of boys and girls of all countries years ago.

I have firm belief in Almighty God and in the life in the world to come, when he and I will be reunited, and together we shall watch over you who have been enrolled as members of this world family, and go on caring for your progress and your well being.

I trust that you will continue fully to use the system of work and play that our Movement provides, keeping up the fun and the friendships made at your meetings and in camps, abiding by the Promise and upholding the Laws that you undertook to live by when you joined up.

In that way you will not only advance yourself in body, mind and spirit, but you will affect those around you, in doing what is honourable and right and wise, and in giving out kindness of thought and action, thus striving against all ills and helping to make the world a happier and a better place in which to live.

I trust you will be successful in all your tasks, and may God be with you all in the coming years.

A Sunday Blogthing

Good morning!  I'm up early to have some time to myself before the kids get up.  So nice.  Listening to music, drinking coffee, computer time uninterrupted....

It has been a long week.  Hubby has been sick, leaving me to do EVERYTHING around the house.  I have been fighting off this cold thingy, too.  But someone has to keep the kids fed, rested, bathed, dressed and the house clean.  So, here I am.  Moms should really win more awards, I think!  We deserve it!!

Anyway, I thought I would share a blog thing today.  Something about books because I love books.  I want to write one.  Or several.  Even if they are not published.  I just want to write.  Perhaps one of the dreams I have squelched since becoming a stay-at-home mom.  Since they are not really hiring with CBE (I emailed and checked into getting back on the sublist....Not promising...), I should start writing more....  I will keep you posted.

Have a great Sunday!!

You Are Fiction

You believe that life is magical, especially when you enter the world of ideas. You are highly creative and imaginative. The real world often isn't enough for you. You are optimistic and hopeful. You believe that we craft our own destinies. You believe that if you can dream it, you can do it. And you do a lot of dreaming.

Are You Fiction or Non-fiction?

Thursday Thoughts....Keith Urban

Keith Urban is coming in September.  Tickets go on sale March 4th.  I am going to check out the cheap seats.  I would like to see him, and it is a concert that Jonathan would like, too!  (He doesn't do Country much, but he does love some Keith Urban.) Right now with where we are in our lives, Keith's songs really speak to us about, well, us!  I guess that is why I like him.

He also is a really good guitar player and has a nice voice with a really nice tone to it. I could listen to him for hours.  Plus, he is a rebel who settled down.  Kinda sweet and romantic.

I am sure his tickets will sell out quite quickly.  Tickets always do.  But, I will see.  It would be a nice date night...especially with songs like this!

Ramblings on a Friday

Wanted to write something today.  No idea what.  Feeling very tired this morning.  It's gonna be a busy weekend, too!  Starting with a girl's night out tonight to make cards.  I LOVE making cards.  The thought of doing it uninterrupted (except for the girl talk, of course) sounds heavenly.

Jonathan is on worship team all weekend.  While I fully support him in this, and pray for him constantly while he is on team, I still am stuck alone with the kids for the majority of the weekend.  It turns out to be a long weekend...God is gracious, though.  The kids and I usually find something to occupy our time together, so I shouldn't complain too much.  They are growing up so fast, too!  Emma will be 4 in a few weeks and Aidan will be 7!!!  No more little boy...just all boy.  YIKES!

In other news, I will be taking 6 girls (15-17yrs old) to Paris in 2012 - My Ranger group.  (Girl Guides)  We had our parent meeting last night.  The three that showed up are signed up and ready to fundraise.  Hubby is really excited at the prospect of me leaving for 10 days.  Of course my Mom will be around this time, so that should go better.  He can at least take breaks.  It's good for him, too!  I think they all really had fun last time, though they wouldn't admit it, lest I do it again!!

I will leave you with a song today.  I recently purchased the new Chris Tomlin CD.  I love his stuff.  Anyway, here's one of my favorites off this album.  I hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

Tuesday Tunes 69: Stolen

I am feeling so down today.  Stressed out.  Tired.  Worn out.

Anyway, the weather is finally getting warmer, sunnier and less snowy.  That should help a bit.

Also, my new class at Women of Heart is going REALLY well.  I thought I would take a break from Beth Moore.  So, I am taking a course about our Identity in Christ.  So far it has challenged me to change some of my bad habits to more godly habits and to rekindle those dreams that I may have pushed down because of life's circumstances.  Daring to dream again is an amazing thing.  I think I have stopped dreaming for myself.  I am a stay-at-home mom.  What dreams can I possibly acheive in this position?  Anyway, I will keep you updated...

The other news is that we have registered Aidan in soccer for the spring.  He is going to do the skills option (2 practices a week with no games) and then they have 2 Fun Festivals (mini tournament things)!  He is quite excited.

Emma has been having a tough time lately.  She has been crying and clingy at Preschool and also bedtime.  So strange.  I guess she is just having a moment in her development.  It's okay.  I am sure it will pass.

As it is Tuesday, I thought I would post a video for today.  Here's a song that has been going through my head lately...Enjoy!

Friday Fill-In: Disneyfied

I can't believe I haven't blogged in a week.  Well, I am sorry for that.  I have been busy and have had 2 sick kids in the house.  And then one of them decided to get pink-eye on top of it all.  Sigh...

I hope you have all been having a good week.  I know it has been busy, but it has been a good week.  God is working on me constantly these days.  Hard work, but so worth it.

I have also started reading "Wuthering Heights" for the first time.  It is good.  Sad, but good.  I love reading The Classics.  So much literature I haven't read yet.  So little time. LOL!!!

Well, it is Friday, but my brain is elsewhere...So here's a FUN Friday Fill-in.  Hope you have a great day!

And...here we go!

1. So many of us want to be Princesses and Pirates.

2. Cinderella succeeded even in hardship.  She is amazing!!  (And she has mice and birds for friends!!)

3. Those who are accepting of another's imperfections are just like Belle.  She looked past appearances and saw the man under the Beast.

4. Nemo is waiting quietly.

5. Light is in both the light sabers and the moons of Star Wars.

6. Mickey Mouse is the best mouse of all that is ordinary.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me, tomorrow my plans include waiting for my Prince to come and Sunday, I want to fly like Peter Pan!

Friday Fill-In: Ahhh the Weekend...

And...here we go!

1. Right now I need a nap.  I am feeling tired, especially since the roads have been tricky to drive on this week.

2. Coffee is what's in my glass.

3. A copy of this letter is saved in a special place that only I know.

4. A fruit smoothy is best with a spoon.  We made some last night at Guides.  They would have been great with a spoon, especially the REALLY thick ones.

5. The best movie I've seen lately is "Tangled".  Loved every single minute of it.  Funny, humourus and a good princess movie.  A must-see if you haven't seen it yet.

6. Cozy sweaters: like; My new polka dotted, aloe filled and scented socks: love.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to resting and hanging out with the family, tomorrow my plans include driving around, going to church and SLEEPING IN and Sunday, I want to sleep in, rest and have a good meeting with my Ranger group!

A Blog Thingy for Monday

Tale as Old as time by Mommyajg on Polyvore.com

Well, the weather is horrible.  Completely.  It is still snowing, blowing snow and FREEZING!!  Aidan is sick with a cold (welcome back to school) and I am keeping him home.

Since I am feeling blah, a blog thingy is what I came up with for today.  Please share your answers with me.  Would love to know what Disney Princess you are.  I LOVE mine.  She's my favorite!

You Are Belle

You are independent and even a bit sassy. You speak your mind. You are curious about the world, and you're always learning about something new. You are stubborn and headstrong. Once you have made up your mind about something, it's difficult to convince you otherwise. Deep down, you are warm hearted and compassionate. You are open to loving almost anyone.

Tuesday Tunes 68: Sia

I have been in a Sia kick lately.  You may never have heard of her before, but she has had a few songs featured in movies.  Anyway, this is the one that has been going through my head lately from Eclipse.  This version has nice pictures to go along with it!  Enjoy!
