<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Saturday, March 11, 2006 :: Today, Jaap and I rolled out of our beds, hung over after my friend Brian's 30th birthday party last night. Good party. And not TOO hung over. I made some bacon and eggs for breakfast and some coffee (decaf, of course) and we sat leisurely sipping and chatting the morning away. We finally got off our butts and made our way over to Etienne Brule park, over near the Old Mill. Jaap had been there earlier in the week and thought I'd like to see it. It was a gorgeous day - unseasonably warm and sunny - and I had always meant to go to the Old Mill. It looked so pretty from the subway. So, now I've done it! And it was great. What a beautiful spot! We walked along the Humber River until I had to go to the bathroom, then wandered down to Dundas West Station. We had a craving for Burger King, which we satiated at College and Spadina. Oh the whoppers never tasted so good! Then we headed to St. Clair and Bathurst to go second-hand shopping. I was very close to buying about three purses. But I reasoned with myself that I really didn't NEED them even though they were cheap and cute. We grocery shopped and headed home. Exhausted. Jaap put his feet up while I made bread, washed the dishes and swept the floor. And even though I wanted a nap at about noon already, here I am at midnight, just brushing my teeth. I wish weekends would last forever. :: Cathy 8:58 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Friday, March 10, 2006 :: I saw an interesting film last night, Ushpizin, a Jewish film about an orthodox jewish couple whose lives really sucked until they just, well, prayed hard enough. And then the miracles (and curses) started. It made me think a lot about faith and how I wish I had some (aside from the small amount that I have in myself). It also made me think about anger and having love inside. I find myself getting very angry quite a lot. And it actually physically hurts me by giving me headaches and an upset stomach. I want to be someone who doesn't let things bother them. I want to be someone who seems a little outside of it all, musing quietly at the peripheral of fantastic events, knowing that all of this will pass, that this is a test of my character and strength, who is never shaken by criticism or a bad turn of events because I know that it will all work out. They have an interesting way of looking at life and the world: it's all about God's will, not man's free will. No matter what happens, it's because God made it that way - it's all part of His plan. It certainly wouldn't make much difference or sense to strive against the natural way of things, since you would know that this is exactly what was supposed to happen. It would mean less panic, less aggression, less stress. More passivity, more acceptance. But it goes against my sense of life: how would you know that you could achieve all that you wanted to achieve? You would never strive for more, would you? There would be no value in it. It's all pre-determined: you'll end up as God wanted if you just follow what He lays before you. Who is to know if that is the true way of Life? There are no controlled studies that one can conduct. :: Cathy 10:41 AM [+] :: 3 comments :: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 :: Tired, so tired. Need nap. Characters swimming before my eyes. Must switch off the post-lunch eyelid gravity machine. :: Cathy 11:26 AM [+] :: 0 comments Is it already three days that I've been home from my vacation? Sigh. Yes. The first day back was very difficult. I had a really good time and was sad to come home. I just wanted to keep skiing. I was really getting into it. Improving. Hitting vips and vaps (mini-jumps) and even tackling the moguls (not well, mind you, but everyone has to learn). Thankfully, I finally got to see my boyfriend. But I was so cranky about being home that it wasn't as nice as it probably could have been. Still, it was nice to talk again. I was trying to wait until I had some photos to upload to my blog before posting, but obviously that is going to take a long time since I didn't take any with my camera. Everyone else in my family hogged all the photo opportunities. On the upside, I think I was IN most of the photos. Stay tuned for them, anyway. They'll be up in the next month... or two... :: Cathy 8:14 AM [+] :: 0 comments
