pictures

I thought I wouldn't see snow again, but this is how it looked around my house after just one day snowing.
Of course my kids loved it!

This pictures are from a park in Vancouver close to the Pacific National Exhibition Forum
(where I had my training for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games here in Vancouver).
I had some time to kill and I walked around.. this is what I found :D
Opera Square

A Japanese Garden...
I can't remember the name, but pretty, eh?

Organize, Organize, Organize...

Last night for our family home evening we talked about ORGANIZATION. ... and apparently I greatly need it!
Evan told me that I have to live my life, not let LIFE live it for me.
This is a hard thing for me, since I feel I have very control of what I can do on a daily basis.
So he suggested to write down what I do everyday so I know where my time goes and then prioritize, set goals and work on then until they become part of my routine.
So what did I do today???
I got up, nursed Isabel. Then had a shower. Gave Carmen a bath while Evan had breakfast. Dressed them both, gave Carmen her breakfast. I had mine. I read all my emails. Cleaned the kitchen, did one load of laundry, folded the other two I did last night. Made snacks for the kids, put on a movie for them. Made some phone calls for Herbalife, send some emails to the WLC participants... Had lunch, get some for Evan. I watched my neighbor's daughter after that she came and visited for a while, then swept the floors for the 7th time today and now I sit down and write about it ...
what a fun day, eh????
And I still have dinner to make, work out with my trainer and more phone calls...
And just before going to bed... I'll watch my American Idol and read the scriptures to finish the day right!I guess that will be the time to sit down and set goals.... when there is peace and quiet...
I am stressed! Plus thinking about all of out commitments this week... I am stressed!
But at least we'll get out of the house today... not tomorrow though. All day with the kids, on my own.... Good thing I love them!! :D
Anyway... I wonder what Evan thinks of my day.... I wonder if he thinks he could do more than what I do.... I wonder ...

I used to love you....

Everybody knows I am an addict of reality shows.... America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, Hell's Kitchen, American Idol, So you think you can dance?.... and THE BACHELOR!

I have to say that I am really disappointed. First of all because I was so happy that Melissa got the happy ending...but then.... he totally fetched with her!

I liked him...a lot... but he is the image of what the world thinks about love...and I totally disagree!
The idea of falling in and out of love. One day I love you, the next I don't.
Love is a fight. You make your choice and you fight for it. When things are right you go with the flow... it is when things are hard that you prove your love.
And he gave up. He won't even try. That makes me think about why he is divorced.

And why did Molly get him back??? How does she know he won't give up on her like he did to Melissa???

Melissa did great in her reaction, I thought. It was the bestgood-bye I've ever seen. The one he deserved.
So... I hope Melissa gets to be the next bachelorette... I"ll be cheering for her.
But the truth is that I'm getting tired of all this unreal world. No wonder why the couples that come out form this show don't last.... it is because the preconcieved idea of love that people have.
But I like to believe that someone will get it eventually!!!
So I'll keep watching! :D
