The Daisy Field

Ever thought about this??   When things are going bad we say "when it rains....it pours"   but what do we say when things are going good? That's my gift to you today dear internet...you're welcome! Okay so why is it so shiny?? Its been a stellar week in the daisy field!   Sunday -   My faithful fans (so my mom and tanya LMAO) will remember fondly my status update for sunday...."Hung out with the kids...made Christmas pictures...had Perogies for breakfast (yeah I did)...took a 3 hour nap...finished my paper....ate home made Turkey pot pie for dinner...cuddled with my husband...decorated the Christmas corner....now I am watching Dexter!! yup sounds like a great Sunday to me!!!"   I mean really, that's a good day!  Those perogies by the way were homemade by the polish lady at the deli down the street! YUMMMMY Monday - The work day flew buy, I watched some Sons of Anarchy (season 1..kind of grusome but really good!) at m...

Okay, thats almost a year!!! What a freaking wierd year it has been!   so what, my new readers, you may be asking was 357 days ago? It was the first day I noticed I had a problem with my vision and we started out on this journey with Intercranial Hypertension.    The end seems so close, I have an appointment to go see the specialist in 7 days and it should be when she takes me off the medication!   YAY.... But in the last few days I have been having more headaches (possibly due to sinus infection?), I have needed to wear my glasses WAY more, and have had 1 or 2 days with some wierd vision things. I really, really, really don't want to be taking this medication forever!   Chris and I would really like to stay on the road to good health and start having a family in the next year, but that can't happen until all the meds are out of my system! I am getting older, it could be because of stress, it could be I am not drinking enough water,...

I have heard myself say these exact words...and I am sure you have too!   My friend Ronnie sent this to me and it actually caused me to stop and think.... Have a read....maybe it will make you think...maybe it won't. The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. My confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection nea...

I was offered the opportunity to try out the New Trend Micro Titanium Subscription and then submit a review.   I think some of you may have seen my posts when I first got it about how you could get a copy for a discount at Best Buy. (discount code "BZZ30" (for use on the Trend Micro™ site) and the downloadable Best Buy coupon .) I have had this installed now for about two months and I have to say I LOVE IT!  I was able to use my one subscription to cover my laptop, my tablet and my smart phone!  The install was really easy and even unistalled the other program I had on my computer for me as part of the install. It took me only a few minutes to run through the set up and push it to my mobile devices.   The scan is quick and thorough, and no longer causes my computer to just randomly shut down for no apparently reason like the other one I was using! One of the features that I LOVE is under the email/website settings, I notice it most on Facebook....

For those who know me well, you know that my family has been struggling alot in the last few weeks.    On August 17th my mother was diagnosed with Breast cancer  and that started this horrible ugly ride that we have been strapped into since. (photo: Joel A Rogers) I got the text to call my mom while I was at a week long camp up on the sunshine coast, I took my phone and sat down on one of my favorite beaches staring out into the beautiful sun hanging over the ocean surrounded by trees.   Behind me I could hear the girls laughing and enjoying the program I had planned for them.   I took the news like a good women in our family does - Strong and Optimistic.  When I hung up the phone  I put my face in my hands and I cried.   I cried in fear, I cried for my mom, for my dad and I just let it wash over me. The wierdest thing happened as I cried, a long haired hippy guy with no shirt on appeared on the beach (wie...

So here we go, what happened to the summer?  Apparently I worked through it LOL. My weekenights are slowly filling up with Choir, School, District Events, Area Events and somewhere in there I need to remember to fit in date night each week with my lovely and ever patient husband! My calendar has gone digital, my files have gone cloud and I even found my GGC name tag.    What sort of things do you do to keep on track during the busy months? For my faithful readers in the Vancouver Area, if you want to sign up as a leader or district guider you can always email me!   Depending on which role (or if your as silly as me...how many roles) you take on, your commitment can be a few hours each month or week.   We are of course always looking for leaders who want to fill in for leaders who are sick or who want to be ratio leaders for camps and events.   Its a great organization to volunteer with and you can make a significant difference in t...
