Mr. Spidy Jim

R.I.P Jim Meyer



Your life was cut too short on Friday, 21, 2008 at the tender age of 22. You leave behind a dream of becoming a firefighter, broken hearts and a beautiful baby girl.

I'll always remember you as that crazy kid. I'll think of you everytime I see my Tinkerbell.

For good.
He decided not to go back to Australia.

Birthday

Monkey enjoying his new recliner from Mommy and Daddy.

Birthday boy and balloons. The whole dinning room was full of balloons.

What happened to the cake? I see finger marks...

That's what happened to the cake! Mommy left the cake a little too close to monkey.

Opening presents with Daddy.

If you're on my facebook, there's a ton more photos there.

Until next time...

Monkey is one year old.
Monkey is 12 months old.
Monkey is 52 weeks old.
Monkey has lived one full year.

May I cry now?

I am so proud of my little monkey man. I can't remember what life was like without him. Even though I am still physically healing from having him and all the problems afterwards, I look at him today and am filled with love. He's smart, kind, curious and a bundle of energy.

**Blogger isn't letting me upload pictures, so I will try to post one later of Monkey and his birthday fun**
Until next time...

**This is an edited post. I had originally written monkey is 24 months old. I am a knob. What can I say? I was rushing through the post so I could go decorate the birthday cake. Lesson learned...Rushing leads to not thinking straight or proof-reading. Feel free to laugh at me. Really. Go ahead. I don't mind. I'm laughing at myself too.**

Seven Random Things

I've been tagged by the awesome Jeni (aka Pepsigirl at BG).
Here's seven random things about me:

1. I *heart* Degrassi. I think it steams back to when we were living in Quebec and one of the few English shows was Degrassi Jr High and Degrassi High. I like it best when the show is about one of the old characters (Snake, Spike, Joey, Catilin anybody?).

2. I am extremely clumsy! Know anyone else who managed to hole punch a finger? Thank goodness it didn't go all the way through. On Monday I had a run in with a door. See picture. I drop almost everything. Lucky for monkey I haven't dropped him.

3. Whenever I try some sort of food, candy, gum, etc, and I don't like it, I will pretend it's good to get someone else to try it too. It's like doing a favor. How is someone going to know just how bad it is just by my description? Plus it's no fun to be the only one with a bad taste in my mouth.

4. I have a weakness for fun panties, bras and socks. My dresser drawers are overflowing with them. I do not own a single pair of basic, one colour socks. Even my workout socks have designs (breast cancer socks...Fun, mostly pink and money gone to a good cause). My workout bras are either funky colours or have designs. Same with my everyday undergarments. Plain colours and no designs just don't make the cut.

5. I'm not sure if I ever want to get married. I've already spent thousands of dollars on a wedding that never happened. I don't want to waste that kind of money again. I love Steve with all my heart, mind and soul and I see us together for a very long time. I'd rather buy a house with him than spend money on a one day event. We're already out of sync with the norm; we have a child together. We look like a married couple, we act like a married couple, we talk like a married couple; we're just missing the little piece of dead tree saying we're married.

6. If Steve asks me to marry him, I'd probably say yes, dispite all I just wrote for #5, just for the pretty, new *princess-for-a-day* dress. My first (and only, so far) wedding gown was stolen by the steamtress. Good thing the shithead cheated on me or I would have had nothing to wear to my own wedding.

7. When I was little I *knew* I was going to be a rock star when I grew up. I practiced everyday. I would sing, I would dance, I would recite acceptance speeches, I would have practice interviews with myself and I would try to be just like my favourite stars. Reality set in when I realized I can't sing to save my life. I've been a lost soul since.

I'm suppost to tag seven people now. I don't know who to tag. Becca? Do you want to try? Jeni already tagged some of the BG bloggers. I'll tag Tiersa and Jeanette, Linda and Lori.
It's not seven but it'll have to do.
Until next time...
