oooh D.O.M.S.

delayed
onset
muscle
soreness

3km run on Monday.
bike 6km today -- into the wind and snow (i missed the bus).
1 hour of pilaga -- go my abs, go!

4 walks up the hill -- not so fun. go, lobbying for my PE credit, go!

it's over!

the triumph.
the elation.
the height of my hair.
the (4) bouquets on my kitchen table.
the exhaustion.
the joy.
the embraces.
the voice.
the memory.
the feeling.

i have officiall sung my junior recital.

pictures to follow -- the beauty.

thank you to those who came -- quite honestly a dream come true to be so surrounded. these are the moments when i remember...this is what i came here for.

love.

action plan...

team action plan is off to a good start. I've been to the gym twice, once was RuNNinG on the TRACK -- I haven't really run since July. WOW that felt SO GOOD. Now my ankle hurts a bit, but not too much. Pilaga started too.

I've had lots of salads, and veggies. Not really any bread or pasta...or juice. Water all the time though.

My attitude is changing too -- that this has to be for the longterm, investing in my life, as much as it is seeking immediate change. Well, "immediate".

Mmm...it's so true that taking steps toward accomplishing a goal makes it seem so much more manageable. I RAN!! I'm ready to take on the world now.

Or at least a set of Mozart songs for my recital.

:)

tyson has to read this poem for school. i read it in 2nd year.

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89).

Pied Beauty



GLORY be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.

MEL! is sooo goodlooking.










And here's Evie and Kevin -- Kevin's a good-looker with a surprisingly nerdy side, and Evie is very touchy -- it's basically like living in Africa when I hang out with her.

ok.

posting at school. Peace out.

jayda!

me and jayda are chillin' in my room.

so here she is: just in case you haven't seen her before.



from L to R is: deanna, jayda, me.

happy saturday.

back in the windy flat lands.

hey ya'll.

I am back in Lethbridge, moved in, going to class, singing opera, and fighting (in love) to have the heat in the house turned up. Heh.

Mmm...

here's a picture. Which is kind of like on dvd's when so-and-so says "here's a deleted scene" in the deleted scenes bonus feature -- but since when is stating the obvious a crime?



I'm hiding under the HUGE box of chocolates we got last Christmas (2005) -- and we got one again this year. Sheesh. For a family of slow-moderate metabolizers, this isn't the BEST idea -- but it IS a delicious one.

TGIF!!

happy new year

2007 it is.

i will turn 25.
there will be a big pary. in may. but be prepared.
i will write new songs.
i will eat 1 big salad every day.
i will struggle to accomplish the things my heart desires.
i will breathe in peace to accomplish the things my heart desires.
i will kick ass at my recital.
i will fly to new york.
i will meet a legend.
i will call mikael once a week.
i will send email updates.
i will freely say 'i love you' to those who need to know.
i will follow the promptings to phone, write letters, drop in, or just say hi.

i will.

love.
