Never think "it's just spit up", Stash goes to surgery...
My 7week old was in surgery this past monday. He had Pyloric Stenosis, which is the thikening of the Pyloric muscle connecting the stomach and small intestine. The operation was 15 minutes long. The longest 15 minutes in my life...
Stan is fine right now. He can finally eat without vomiting but when we got to the hospital he was so dehydrated they put him on an iv before you could say : househunt... I don't know it was the first word that came to my head! We were discharged just yesterday and he seems to be tolerating the food better. Just wanted to let everyone know that just because someone says it's normal, doesn't mean your instincts are wrong... my mother instincts saved my son's life, and I'll never question them again... atleast I'll look into it before doubting myself!
all is well sending my hellos to all!

Comic books and realism
Are comic books made to be realistic? Well, some are. There are titles like "Don't go where I can't follow" about the death of the writer's fiance. There are other's like "Nextwave" about a rogue group of superheros who are fighting to save the world from Kwala bears. Ok, so what does this mean about this Genre? I believe it means that this genre is not just one type of writing. Let us think about some themes we learned in high school english class. Antigone... man versus god. ok, There is a great book called Kingdom come... it's about whether Superman or Shazam should save the world... Well that is what it comes down to. There are many layers. Well, Shazam is human. Superman is from another planet, shall we say a god of some sort. It turns out Shazam should be the one to save the world because he is a man and a man should be the one to save his own, not a god. ok that was a stretch. Let's try another: Man vs Self Man vs Nature Man vs God Man vs technology (can anyone think of anymore?) OK OK! Batman, the dark knight returns, is about Batman coming to terms of being Batman and not Bruce. The whole story is about fighting who you really are and what you really want to be. If that's not Man vs Self I don't know what is! Another is the Hulk... he is trying to control himself. I'm sure there are lots of conflicts of man and machine but to bring a more strange idea to you I think this one could work with Iron man. Iron man is this guy, who has alot of money, who is a superhero when he puts this suit on. I guess I would have to see an issue about him becoming attached to the suit, but then ofcourse that becomes man vs self. I love this stuff.... | | Tuesday, September 18th, 2007 | | 7:36 am |
Janice
It didn't take long for the closet to become empty while Janice pulled out every piece of clothing she owned. Would she look more professional with a blazer or would it be better to try to dress as she usually would on any given day? It wasn't as if she could really know what the interviewer would want but she tried to think of all the advice she had gotten from friends. There was the free spirited friend, Sarah, who would remind Janice she needed to listen to her heart when dressing. She had never worked anywhere but a bookstore, or library. Carol would tell Janice that a CEO of her years would never hire someone who didn't come to an interview prepared. Does that make a blazer more prepared? There were the thousands of conversations with her mother that ended with "Don't worry about it, if you worry it will make everything impossible. Go in as if you are meeting some people for a chat, nothing more." Janice, remembering, mumbled "Fucking Brian..." Brian told Janice that he had never really tried to impress the interviewer. That he received his most wonderful job while wearing jeans and talking shit about his previous boss. "Fucking Brian always gets the breaks!" Janice looked over her hidden bed. She had plenty of time. All she had to do was relax and the answer would come to her. Suddenly the thought of coffee came rushing into her like a sunami. She left what she would call her bedroom in the six hundred square food studio to enter her kitchen just feet away. Mr Gerbal, Janice's cat, had been enjoying himself sprawled on the stovetop. When Janice picked up the laziest cat alive and kissed him on head he started to purr. The lump of gray fur, fat and bones was placed very gently on the floor where he intended to stay all morning. The idea of coffee called to Janice. The kettle boiled in no time and Janice was back to staring at her clothes but with a cup of what she felt would help her make her decsion. She had plenty of time. | | Sunday, September 9th, 2007 | | 8:34 pm |

in love- until death do us part
alright... there are a few of you down there who have heard me tell you this... but I'm just going to put it down in writing... I want to marry Paul. He wants to marry me. We make a great team and Michael thinks I'm crazy... alright. So there it is... I will be engaged when I get a ring, but he has to ask my father first, but he needs money for the ring... oh I would marry him tomorrow if I could. but alas I am excited and scared. I am inlove and also in need. I can't tell you how good these last two months have been for me. I feel wonderful and my heart doesn't seem to be as heavy as it once was... I'm inlove. I want to tell the world! I want to shout it outloud and scream it from the roof tops, anyone else know the feeling I have? anyone? | | Saturday, August 27th, 2005 | | 2:10 pm |

no black? what???
I just got a call from the sm and guess what? the director would prefer us not in black... what the fuck? Who are these people? It is not the directors decsion to put us in street clothes... nor should it have anything to do with whether or not we are doing the scene change in the dark or during intermission... black is what you wear, it separates you from the crowd of people just outside... just sitting there in the audience... and those who think they can touch the set... what the fuck? I am sooo confused, why wouldn't we wear black? I think it makes us look professional, aren't we? anyway, just venting.... talk to ya lata! paul comes home tomorrow, I am gonna surprise him at the airport, hopefully we won't miss eachother! hehe | | 12:23 am |
opening night
well.. it went wonderfully! I did all I was told and had a blast! the stagemanager doesn't seem to know what she is doing... the actors need a straight and narrow to walk on before and after the show... costumes strewn about, props left to sit in the shop, just shit everywhere! I know what it can be like to have a small space and have to keep it clean but this is rediculous! Please actors... don't leave your shit lying on the floor. Please actors don't leave food anywhere! Please people listen to the sm!!! If you don't then the whole affair seems to fall apart. Oh well, not my show ... it's the SM's show right? tell me if I'm wrong for thinking these things?

good for you heather!
about three days ago I got a call from an artistic director of a small theatre company in chicago. I had sent an email to him about three months ago and he said there weren't any volunteer jobs open at the moment and to get intouch with him later... so I waited and today I called him back cause work has been really busy. he was soooo excited about me calling.... he needed someone to come and help do some set changes for the show... I can do that no prob.. easy scheasy... he was overwhelmed when I said I would be there this evening to check out the preview and help with anything I can... well well well, it seems like a cool crowd and I know what I'm doing, which is a bonus! anyway, ya for me! I did it all on my own and I didn't even need my boyfriend to get me friends, it looks like I have my own ... the artisitc director shook my hand like ten times while I was there, thanking me. He looked like he was gonna kiss me he was so happy to see me... anyway, learning the ropes and meeting people... I am very proud of myself... doing it on your own good job heath! Miss Paul, but he is proud of me too... my guy is great! | | Sunday, August 14th, 2005 | | 10:46 am |
I am tired of having a headache... Elly isn't helping... she barks to protect me but I really don't need protecting when I am trying to get some sleep cause my head hurts... growel... oh well, I'll try for another nap today. | | 12:51 am |
wow
so Paul went away today... visiting family in Maine... and I am here waiting for him to come back so I can tell him all the adventures I had while he was away... the only problem is that I must now have the adventures to tellhim about, or I could lie... I could tell him about riding an elephant and loving the swamps of Africa... perhaps I could tell him that just under the city lies the ruins of our ancestors and I was the first ever to find them after thousands of years, there is also an indian graveyard just under my parents house and I had to save them both... as well as Agatha... Elly learned to speak english and now I can hold conversations with her... I don't know if those things will happen but wouldn't they bee a good story? le sigh... Everything else in my life is peachy... mom quit at the bookstore, and she is now looking into taking classes at uof c inthe continuing education department... she needs more friends up here... le sigh life is wonderful, and so am I! (I am very vain) | | Thursday, August 11th, 2005 | | 10:01 pm |
so here is the whole story
It happened on saturday. Paul was supposed to take me to a movie and dinner. The problem was when I told him about my friend being sick and he made a joke. This royally pissed me off. He noticed... I told him I was too tired for a movie. After work I found him waiting for me outside. He asked if he could just walk with me to the train. I said sure... but was getting ready to tell him that we would just not work out... well well... the first thing he said was... "I'm not doing this slow thing very well am I?" I looked at him and with total honesty said: "ya"... he apologized and expained his actions, he is going away this saturday and wanted to get to know me before he left, also he really liked the way I made him laugh and vise versa. He promised not to get intouch with me for a while and said I would only see him twice in the next week.... he promised! I was satisfied... I felt like I had a load off my back. So I had sunday to sit by myself and do nothing... ok... so that sucked and all day I was thinking: I need to tell Paul about this stuff, and I have to remember that to tell him. Funny things happening, strange animals and my experience with sour milk. I honestly thought I would see him monday. Monday came and he never showed... I saw him in the hall but he didn't even look over my way. I felt a little dissed. He didn't come in... why didn't he come in? I have so much stuff to tell him, stuff that had happened on the weekend! Tuesday came and by four oclock I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to at least tell him we could wave at each other... I mean he was just standing out in the hall talking at the security desk. It was then I called him and said: hey wanna have a smoke after the store closes? He said: sure.... We had a smoke and only talked for like twenty minutes but I found myself checking out his ass... alright I'm bad, whatever! So Wednesday came and we met for a smoke again... this time he asked if I wanted to see a movie cause he was getting off early and we could walk together... sweet! I thought and decided to go... all I have to say is, enchanted! that is what I am... he is leaving for a week this saturday, but he asked if I would meet him in New York, I can't cause of Elly but hell ya! I would love to! but alas, I am not going, instead he is coming home early and we are going to hang out... I've never been in such a weird situation... happy and sad all at the same time! ps... great kisser! pps ... gentleman! ppps... one big reason he is coming home early, other then to see me, is cause the girl he was semi dating in New York is no longer semi dating him, We just happened to meet at perfect cross roads... | | 9:58 pm |
I have a new boe!
Yes, there is a new paul in my life... and this guy is better! hehe.... lets just say he won me over with the good ol' "hard to get" game... hehe I really like him. | | Sunday, August 7th, 2005 | | 8:48 am |
The great North American Novel
I am writing again. Thank god... I am going to write the great North American Novel. It can't be the great canadian novel cause I live here, and it can't be the great american novel cause I'm canadian... well anyway, I will make millions. Or atleast a bit to pay off my bills and stuff. I hope my luck gets a bit better... not that it's at all bad. I would just prefer to make more money... it's really depressing to hear people having sex through my inch thick walls. I used to do that. Now I don't... le sigh... make it stop. | | Saturday, August 6th, 2005 | | 7:49 pm |
We had a talk
Yes, I talked to Paul and he apologized for what was happening... he knows it was stupid and is embarrassed.... great! Got that out of the way... but it was what he said next that bothered me: I'm glad you didn't kiss me on our first date... cause I would hve fallen hopelessly inlove with you.... atleast now I am not hopeless. DEAR GOD!!! Current Mood:  pissed off | | Friday, August 5th, 2005 | | 9:23 pm |
soooo...
now I can't stand Paul. Really, he is driving me nuts! He calls me all the time and comes down to the store all the time and stuff. What do I do now? He knows I don't want to be in a relationship but for some reason he doesn't get it... he keeps bugging me! What do I do???!!! HELP! | | Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005 | | 9:21 pm |
hello hello
yes... it has been a long time... to sum up: I had a boyfriend for two months- Paul I am now getting to know this dude: Paul who works at my building downtown...he lives just up the street from me but it was weird to find out his name is Paul!!! The first paul left me because I was immature... anyone? Please tell me if this was a good reason to leave someone... or if it is true how I can fix it! anyway, he is gone although very cute and rather crazy catholic but other then that... anyway... first date with the second paul lasted from 830 to 330 in the morning... he is 29, a little low on the "hair on head" scale but a nice and funny guy... seems to get my humor- I made him laugh alot and viseversa! Current Mood:  nervous | | Monday, June 6th, 2005 | | 10:36 pm |
Alright, so now I have great news... I am going to pursue a career in teaching. I am starting my search tomarrow and want to start in private schools. Paul was the one who got the idea into my head. Being at the same secure job for these last months has made my head very soggy.... I just keep thinking about rent and how to pay it. I think he was on the right track when he sat me down and told me I hated my job. I hadn't noticed but I really don't like it. I say I love it because it is easy, but I don't have the right kind of boss for my brain. I need someone who has goals for the store not just dreams. I need someone who will answer a question like: "do you want me to take my day off tomarrow or friday?" with an answer like: "Take tomarrow, come in friday." and not: "uh... I just... well you said you would come in friday?... So I guess you could do that... But are you... so I think you might just want to work... wait no..." FUCK!!! Now on to my journey into the teaching world... Maybe one day I'll be a professor! Current Mood: nervous |
