grandma! what big teeth you have! and so we sliced the wolf open and put rocks in his stomach.

thank goodness nic remembered to water pat, i was getting a little worried...

i pushed little people on swings for approximately 4 hours of my day today. i was absolutely wiped and felt like if i heard another "push me meg", i was going to snap in half. i took catherine out of the swing at the park and she hugged me with the most genuine little hug, told me she loved me and patted my back with her little hands. i no longer cared about how exhausted i was and felt so happy that i have such a wonderful niece.

catherine, although she's only three i've always had a special connection with since she was an infant. i mean, i love and care for all my nieces and nephews - but with catherine it's always been different. i've been told by my sister that catie and i are identical in a million ways, & that we were pretty well destined to be best friends.

i'm so joyous that i have her.

tonight was amazing. after putting andrew and catherine to sleep, i laid with ryan for an hour or so. i told him stories of the fairies where i lived, the warnings i'd get for going over the hill, and the proper fairy precautions to take before you decided to go into the woods. his wide brown eyes looked so intrigued. children's curiosity damn well kills me.

after a few drinks, i grabbed a blanket and laid in the park watching the stars & smoked a bunch of cigarettes one after the other.

the park doesn't exactly have street lights but i was feeling daring enough to venture to the beach to throw some rocks and listen to the water along the shore. sometimes i forget there's no wind in ontario (therefore, no waves to hear), but i curled up in my blanket there too and enjoyed a beer to myself.

i hear so many complaints that the world is a terrible place, that people are unhappy or angry at everything... i wish these people would just take the time to do something for themselves to feel at peace.
the world would be a better place.

i don't even really enjoy cage the elephant all that much, but i do enjoy this video and song quite a lot.

i'm going to pick flowers tomorrow.
