Duxford Girl

Honestly, if I didn't have a house-sitter coming over to the house, I would have have just left things as they were around this place. However, six hours later, my house is somewhat better than it's been all spring.

Most of the things that I wanted to do around the house before leaving is done but I'm not going to finish everything. Sigh. My anal-retentavness knows no bounds.

I've not had the most productive of days as I've had a major allergy flare-up. Now I'm just sleepy from too many antihistamines. I suppose, in the end, it doesn't really matter or not, whether my living room is clean while I'm gone.

As I was pulling up handfuls of crab-grass, the other day, I couldn't help but reflect on the people that got us in to this gardening mess. It's the British, there's no two ways about it. The minute they pull up a boat on to a foreign shore, they set about Britishing-up every thing.

This song was everywhere while I was in Toronto this past week:

It's been a week since the KIA went away and I still can't believe it's really gone. I get way too attached to my vehicles.



My ski wagon, sitting at the hill at Lake Louise. Me and KIA had great times going skiing.

Knowing that I wasn't going to feel great about the state of my body, I booked a photo session shortly after Simon was born. These are photos by Libertee Muzyuka at Pure Form Salon in Calgary (http://www.pureformsalon.com/index2.php#/home).

Simon, at three months, had been exceptionally good throughout this session but he was definitely at the end of his patience by the end.

"I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am chained
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real"

And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better"
