Peek~a~Moose

Busy busy week getting a bunch of loose ends tied up. Went up river to my daughter's apartment, like three times. Came back to home base to work on a carving I'm doing for a friend. Went down river to my woodlot and got a few more plants settled in. I suppose I should let y'all know I'm going on another road trip real soon. I am very much looking forward to it. Come to think of it, I never did share those pics of my last one back in April, like I said I would... Bad MissK, Bad!

~ My Roses Bloomed ~

I wish :P

Mine are below... 

They look kinda sad. But hey,

you gotta start somewhere, eh ;-)

      These are suppose to be pretty hardy. The one on the left is called Winnipeg Parks, zone 2b. The second one is zone3, I forget the name. I debated getting them because I've never had much luck with roses in the past, except for wild roses that spread fairly easily. I just couldn't resist starting my flower garden with them. The layout of the lot lends itself perfectly to so many different garden concepts. I've got high sunnier spots, and low, nestled private pockets. I can see you, but you can't see me kinda thing. One thing's for sure, I'm gonna enjoy planning this layout over time ;-)

Good Morning!! :)

One step at a time, things are moving forward.

My daughter has graduated and moving on to the next phase of her life. We still have lots to do, prepping her for University, but things are on schedule :-)

Now on my end, my little woodlot is feeling more and more like home. I'm getting fairly organized for getting out there and doing some work. Still at the clearing stage, but I got a few surprises in place ;-)

I would like to focus more attention on my blog. I've been neglecting it and I don't like that :( I'm not the same as I was when I first started, but I'm still me... perhaps a little more grounded and a lot more independent. So let's where this road takes us... ;-)

Countdown Time...

Just a few days to go.

Can't believe my little girl is about to graduate.

Valedictorian to boot!!

I am one proud mama :D

I Love Puzzles...

The "picture" is becoming clearer ;-)

I've been doing research this past week.

Lots and lots of thinking, sketching and calculating.

I'm working to figure out how best to utilize my little woodlot,

in a timely manner, to shape the life I want.

What I know for sure:

My resources are limited at the moment.

I wanna use my skills to earn income, on my terms.

Practical, useful and realistic is way more appealing then bling.

Day by day, things are taking shape :-)

~ I will share more on the topic, as things progress ~

Little update in the comments ;-)

Happy Mother's Day!!

Love you Mom ;-)

Now it is ;)

It's been a long week. I never made it out to "Play" as my last post suggested. Had some car issues on the way out, which thankfully turned out to be very minor. But even minor things like a fucking loose connector can leave you stranded for a while. Especially when the "error messages" you get are random and unrelated ~shaking head~ Gotta love GM :/

Dare I say, conspiracy for extra dealership traffic?... :P

Anyways... Back in running order. Tools/toys are loaded up and ready for the next ride out, hopefully tomorrow.

And in the meantime, since it is Friday... How 'bout some Reds ;-)

Check back in a few, and have an awesome Friday!

Finally Done!

Tax Time... Ain't it fun... :/

Gotta love phone tag with "foreign" people???

Yippee!! At one point, I was on a chat thingy for the program I was using, attempting to work through a software glitch. I waited over an hours while the following four lines alternated about one per minute....

One of our Customer Specialists will be right with you.

All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.

An agent will be with you in a moment. Thank you for your patience.

The next available Agent will be with you in a moment.

Needless to say, the screen was full of shit :P

Then I get the message:

Onisokonikumen S: How may I assist you?

Oh great, I thought, and proceeded to write out my issue.

Then he answers:

Thank you for your patience. It will be another moment.

Several minutes later, he comes back with... 

Looking into it. 

Then I get this fucking message:

Thank you for contacting us. You may now close this window.

Your session has ended.

Like seriously!?

What kind of fucking customer service is that??

After more bullshit, I finally got to the nitty-gritty of it.

And I have to say it was really easy, compared to the previous years.

Looking at a bigger picture here, if feels so weird to do these "simple" things, not thinking about how it could affect EVERYONE else. To live just for me, and my daughter of course as she is part of me. I just can't remember ever having this feeling.

And I'm loving it more and more everyday :-)

Totally in Love with This Senario

Side Note: I have a few Road Trip Highlights I would like to share.

A little glimpse to where I've been ;-)

The thing is, I took some pictures with my phone, and some with an old camera I had, but I gotta fiddle with it to get the pics off.  So I'm gonna work on that later, cuz right now, I'm in the mood to drive out to My Woodlot and explore. Almost all the snow is gone, and I'm very curious on how things look out there... Be back soon :-)

I Be Grinnin' :D

~ Hitting The Road ~

I'll update y'all when the Wifi kicks in...

In the meantime, have one on me ;-)

Just Passing Through...

Between renovations in my apartment, work, and prepping for a highly anticipated road trip, I've been a little busy over the last few days... More soon :-)

If you don't get the reference, revisit THIS post ;-)

MissK ~ The Younger Years

Protecting da precious bacon seed ;-)

Ahh.... Spring is in the Air

Damn it!!!

Well it's not that bad, although we did get close to a foot over the weekend.

I really thought spring was here :( Dare I say it? For the fifth time now...

This was the last storm!!!! I better be right this time :P

Yes Please :D

What? It's a fetish ;-)

My Own Little Paradise

I recently got my hands on an awesome little woodlot.

I took this first pic a few weeks ago. The snow was still way too deep to venture in,

so I snapped a shot off the neighbor's land.

Last Friday I decided to strap on my snowshoes...

Roll up the Rim ~ Come and Gone

My fellow Canadians know all too well

about this dilemma.

I would get my coffee thinking...

"This one's a car :-)" or better yet...

"A shitload of money!!! :D"

But nope :(

They should save some ink and write "Sorry" instead :P

Comme vraiment là?!! Trois cafés p'un beigne... Grrrr

Then there's the BONUS RIM ??

A Message To My Readers

I have a few words I'd like to share with my readers. Don't worry, It's not bad ;-)

Those of you who have been around for a while know that MyWorld has gone trough changes. I've always been a little random about the things I choose to post, that part still works for me because many things interest me. But clearly something doesn't work at the moment, or I'd be posting way more. I've been contemplating over this for a while, because I really do care about my blog, and it's presence online. And I am sad that MyWorld has fallen short of what I know it can be. It's "My World" and MY Responsibility to make it work.

My life has really changed lately, including my reasons for posting. I use to crave posting as a way to "Escape". That need is no longer there, since I'm finally in a place where "My Rules" apply in real life. I have so much to look forward to, and the only person standing in my way is myself. I know better now, and I'd like to have my wings back, thank you ;-)

As far as my blog goes, I've come up with a basic plan. A little more structure, that's all. Something I've avoided in the past.

I have different goals now, and they do include a blog I can enjoy. So I will focus on posting more often. I have lots of material, and I'm constantly collecting things I stumble on in the interest of sharing them. I just need to take the whip out on myself, so to speak. Find a format that works for me, in the life I have now, and get posting.

Obviously, I'll be tweaking a few things over time. I wanna bring back some favorites, and hopefully share more personal stuff as time goes on. No pressure, just LIFE <3

And way more posting ;-)

You Referring To My Lack of Posting?

I'm gonna have to agree with the pussy on that one...

~ Someday ~

I would love to do this kind of work...

I added links to the Artists. A few were hard to locate,

so my apologies for any errors. Please let me know,

and I will gladly make the correction.

Finally! Light @ The End of The Tunnel

Above freezing? Really? I must be dreaming. I'm not sure what to make of it, all this dripping water and the need to take off layers of clothes in the spur of the moment. One thing is certain though, this is definitely a glimmer of hope that spring really does exist.

The sun is shinning outside and I have to take it in. I'm heading back out in a few for an extra dose of Vitamin D. This damn cabin fever has gone on long enough.

I've been busy moving snow all morning, slicing a trench in boob height, really dense snow drifts to gain access to the storage cabin in the back of the lot. The lady next door is moving out, and she needed to get her shit out, asap. So I volunteered to take care of it. What I wouldn't do for a body rub right now. I will be stiff in the morning, that's for sure. Now, I'm all done with the trench, and gave her a hand lugging the bins to her car. I should stay in and relax, but I can't help myself, I have to go back.... it's sunny!! And warm!! ;-)
