This is my friends kid, Nathan, who is a pretty cool beans 7 month old. WITH RED HAIR. I would pay money for a red headed kid. Excuse the crazy face. Its pretty much impossible to look normal around a baby. Who was teething but still delightful :D Also my forehead is looking pretty large and in charge there. He was extraordinarily puzzled by the whole webcam looking at himself thing.

Last thing,
Saturday morning tv is literally TERRIBLE, worse than when it was Super Mighty Power Rangers everything. There is a new TMNT where I swear one crap assy voice over guy does all the voices and someone actually said "What the SHELL" ?!?!?!?!

Last thing for realz now.
You all know Puss In Boots from Shrek right?
WELL. That name is a MOVIE from the 80s with...(wait for it)

FOUR

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 06:15:00 +0000

Four days in a row of working out!
I had to dig really deep today though. I woke up feeling very weak and sick in my head. I don't know how to explain it but just sick feeling pressure, in my head. But I did do it. I really didn't want to skip this day, because I'm afraid of it snowballing.
But! Anyways. I did it. SO! Now i really wish I had some good dark chocolate, but I do not :(

I'll have to settle for some thumbs up ^.^
(albeit deformed looking thumbs up)

I've been gone for forever it seems and this whole writing on the internet has never felt so awkward. I have to admit the past three months have been hell and a complete regression, and I am now back to square one. Because I couldn't afford to do a test that checked my hormone levels, I had to go off the Progesterone. This has been since February. It has been worse than bad. Long story short. I am back on the Progesterone again. Started last night. I've started physio to strengthen my muscles again, and now that I'm feeling stronger I've just started doing some workouts at home. (Slim in 6 yo) Which I really like. It kicks my ass, and reminds me I am indeed in the worst shape I've ever been in. But I'm done being sad about it, and just doing it. I don't want another year of being sick and bed ridden. I'm terrified I would never make it back from that. So I can honestly say, I am being extremely proactive and actually working hard at this. I'm trying to let go of the guilt of what I've put Taylor through.
He's just glad I'm working on getting better, and wants to move forward, and I am following him.

Love and Light
I appreciate you all ^.^

Big Balls

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:13:00 +0000

OK. last night? was insane to the top degree! LIKE. OH MY GOSH GUYS.

ONE? I am soooo glad i made my dad come, it. was. hilariuos.
First, he wore eyeliner. Second, his Christian Fish dangly silver earrings. THIRD? He sang Big Balls by ACDC.
KARAOKE! He'd never sung Karaoke before. lol

The dudes there were pissing themselves and singing along. It was like, I dunno man.

OK, SECOND, but the best. My friend won first place! So she goes to the semi finals and won a voucher for a wedding dress of her choice! They were awesome!! her sister and our friend were her back up singers, and they sang Dancing In The Streets and Beat It. And our friend that sang with her, during Beat It, jumped on a chair while singing and dancing.
Holy Lord it was beyond hilarious. ahhhh. It was an awesome night. :D

OH MY GOD every picture i had taken with my camera since halloween has been corrupted and i cannot fix it, since they're not still on my camera. this REALLY SUCKS HARD. especially since most of them were of my niece at halloween and the holidays and her birthday and holy shit this is so bad!

how does this happen? they imported fine a couple weeks ago and then i go to edit them and it says the file is missing so its not actually the picture. except i cant FIX IT because i don't have them on my camera anymore!

my skull feels like its breaking open. my comfort is that at least it's not, for realz.

don't ask how im typing this. since my skull is broken open, i might as well let some wordz leak out.

went bulk barn crazy with my mum. it was lots of fun. (this was all pre skull destruction) bought some fancy grain mixes called jade mix and ancient mix. they have lots of awesome rice and lentils and all sorts of cool treasures that i'll cook up into awesome deliciousness-ness. once the skull bashing is over with, totes obvs.

I snagged a ton of cheap epsom salts (best pain killer!) and chili tvp for the veg chili i'm somehow going to make for family dinner thursday. i'm also making biscuits. have i mentioned im a cook from scratcher now? its a lot of fun. now all i need are the screaming kidlets. im barefoot always already. (i have seriously worn my birkenstock flip floppys all winter. to the out loud bewilder-ers amusement)

i'm really hoping this crazy pain stays to just my head.

back to the dark icy depths for me loves

withdrawal sucks >.<
im going off a med my dr. wants me off, that wasn't really doing anything good. and i didn't like it either.
i can expect a constant, severe, migraine/puking(really hoping for no puking) for the next 10 days or so.

im hoping not. im hoping to do fun things instead. but i can feel it getting worse already and today's only the first day.

it has been ten million years and its a whole new decade and i have NOTHING TO SHARE. BECAUSE I STILL CANNOT FIND MY CAMERA CHARGER >.< the cats are awesome possom. (and as i typed that, Phiren puked on our floor from eating his food too fast) I am SO happy they are back with us. Our place is AWESOME and gorgeous. I'm so proud of myself for making it into a home. I'm cooking again! Using the crockpot my mum bought us all the time, and LOTS of baking. Its fantastic. Things are good. I'm starting to feel better, and our new years was verrrry interesting. it included a fantastic dinner cooked by moi, chillen with my parents, and then an apartment fire (not ours!) all before midnight.
I'm still reading you all! Love and Light (and hopefully pictures soon)
-cri-tree-

Phiren hopped onto my lap as I was trying to get a HAPPY NEW YEAR picture, and was all like, "Whatchu doin woman?" So I grabbed him to add to the shot, but then he was all, "This is major lame, I hate you"

But I was all, I LOVE YOU PHIREN even though you puke on my floor. And HE was all, "Ya, I guess I love you too. For now. Purr"

The End. <3

Day6

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:35:00 +0000

Shazzam!
25 minutes left!
Today was a busy day, the niecey kept me on my toes...(they are nubs now)

So we played with the DSi a little! Taylors came in today so we did some Zelda battles!
It actually takes decent pics. The lighting was terrible but they weren't bad!

My dad was a good sport
(he has the sickness) and let me make him look silly

Mrawr!

This post was short, but sweet and totally counts!

Day5

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:10:00 +0000

Woah!

So it's 10 o'clock and I'm just posting now. This Nablo thing was an impulsive decision I think.

I've been busy all day, watching a kid. Who knew that stuff was so time consuming eh?

Anyways, I'm scrapping that Proust Questionnaire.
I'm just not in the mood for public self reflection.

Not really sure what I'm in the mood for.
I kinda feel like I'm talking to myself out loud on the subway and everyone nearby is pretending to not be eavesdropping.

+++++
I have just had massive inspiration (from this friend)
GRILLED CHEESE

or rather how do you like yours?
Real cheese, or processed?
In one of those grill cheese makers, or on the toasting on the stove with lots of butter?
Tomato soup, or is that the most disgusting food combo everrrrr???

Questions that need answers people!

My preference? On the stove, tomato soup? Worst combo EVER. Unless, I dunno. I'm having opposite day.

Day4

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:16:00 +0000

Today has been quite the day. My sis is gone overnight so it was just me and the niecey.
She was verrrry good. I took some video of her reading her two little books about hungry kittens. It was so precious I think I busted an ovary.

She also gave me a hat make-over!

Apologies for looking so pissed off. The joy is just very deep inside.

Day3

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:47:00 +0000

The cold is here. Its blustery and gray and found a home in my bones. Hopefully not to stay since it's making things slightly miserable. Gray weather makes me sleepy and crave warm things. Possibly to make up for the fact that my bones feel like brittle icicles.

But enough of the cold! On with Proust and todays edition of the questionnaire.

Lets talk about deplorable things
(does someone remember those books?)

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
My inability (but I am working hard on this) to just live in the moment. I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. "If things are good now, they won't be for long" kind of terrible mentality.

I just want to be happy and living in the moment dammit! >.< What is the trait you most deplore in others?
I can forgive a lot. Especially if people acknowledge bad habits and work on them. But I think we're talking most about pet peeve things right? Because we all don't like the usual stuff. i.e. murderers/evil doers. You know, I think this is a stupid question. I don't like the usual deplorable things. Also, Proust? You are on notice, so far this questions are kinda sucking ballz. Also, this posting everyday is harrrrrd. Boo.

*p.s.
I just had won ton soup, that must of had tons of salt/msg.
I feel like I may die.

** p.p.s. (three hours later)
so yeah, I almost did die, I had to drink baking soda and water (ghetto saline solution) to re alkaline (or something like that) my blood. Thank God my father in law is House and I didn't have to go to the hospital. Because I probably would have gotten H1N1 and died from that instead. (a joke. hahahaha)
Turns out when you're hypoglycemic, AND have high blood pressure, and have only had really salty Won Ton Soup. It's not such a good combo.
***p.p.p.s
this is my excuse for a half ass post. I nearly died whilst typing it up.

Day2

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:45:00 +0000

Today has been hard.
Today is the two year anniversary of when my Grandfather died. I woke up knowing and feeling that, but trying not to dwell. Out of weird coincidence my sister and I ended up having lunch at The Backroad Cafe. I hadn't been there since I used to go with my Grandpa.

Grief is surprising.
I can only acquaint it with Water. How it moves, it can be gentle, or powerful.
It can destroy and cause ruin like no other force.

I'm not going to do a Proust question today.
Today I'm just going to sit and be still.

Nablopomo

noreply@blogger.com (cristymuranda) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:25:00 +0000

Yeah, the girl who never speaks is gonna attempt this bitch.

Word.

And to help me with that, lets all have a posthumous clap for Proust!
His eyes are much bugg-i-er than I imagined.

.....YOU KNOW!
THE GUY! THE FRENCH GUY!
Or rather, THE FRENCH GEE!

Hahaha..

So whatever, I'm not funny.
We can't all be good at everything, because then we'd have to punch each other in the face. which would make the poor Canadian police, really busy. And they'd get really disgruntled and write everyone a ticket, and then THAT would make the people punching each other in the face, more aggravated, so much so, that they'd go to Ottawa and protest! Peacefully and quietly of course

And, OH GOD, that would make Parliament have to close, and then the Bureaucracy would crash to a grinding HALT.

HA! I just made a bona fide JOKE.
I AM FUNNY.

Anyway,
expect lots of sarcasm and maybe when this is all done, Avitable could do one of his dead person of interest interviews.
But it'd have to be in French.
And..well, interest is all relative anyways. Or is that the wrong word?

So..
I'm gonna start this now.

What is your perfect idea of happiness?

Two words.
Haagan Daas. That doesn't make you fat.
But seriously?
Ya this depressed lady is working on that one.

What is your greatest fear?

Death.
I don't really think about my death so much as, always being reminded that people die. People I love are going to die. I'm trying to work on not torturing myself with the knowledge of that, and feeling like everyone is already dead, and I'm just reliving bittersweet memories.
Because that? Is kinda really effed up.

But, my real greatest fear would be waking up glued to a bed full of centipedes and cockroaches soaked in gasoline with only a zippo to help me escape. Besides the saw, but I'm not sure how that'd help. Maybe if i thwacked all the insects with the saw? But I'm glued to the bed, so that wouldn't really work.

HENCE!
My greatest fear!
Cuz I'd be totally SCREWED!

So people who read this?? You should give your answers in the comments!
