Making Grace Kelly Proud

In photos I can sometimes appear chic and perhaps stylish and put together.  Sometimes I even fancy myself to actually be that.  But really, I’m the girl who rushes out of the bathroom because she’s late for the acting class, slams her finger in the door as is shuts, and plunks her butt down ungracefully on the couch, and then realizes that her fly is undone.

Yup.  Grace Kelly would be proud.

True Story:

I Won’t Start A Fight But I Will Finish One

Leaving the checkout, I notice the lady in the next aisle looking at Baby Girl snacking on a single serving bag of chips shaking her head.  She then looks at me with a dirty look.  Totally ticks me off when women judge each other’s ability to mother.  Lady, what do you know?

Yes, maybe once a month Baby Girl gets a single serving of chips all to herself.  There is nothing wrong with that.  And perhaps, you should compare our shopping carts before you shake your head at me.

Mine:  Kale, beets, cucmber, avocado, mixed nuts, bananas, almond milk, rice ice cream, apples, lemons, fresh chicken breasts, drumsticks, bag of basmati rice, cashew butter, eggs.

Hers:  McCain frozen meal, Frozen pizza, white wonder bread, big hunk of cheese, bag of cookies, sandwich meat, some frozen cooked meat, ketchup, lettuce, tomatoe.

I wasn’t judging you before *because I just don’t care*  but I certainly am now. 

You know what they say about people who live in glass houses right?
Don’t be throwin’ no s@#t around!

The Heart of The Big Bad Wolf

Little Red Riding Hood, the hapless and helpless damsel in distress.  
Innocent in demeanor and guileless in intention. 

She was chased and hunted by the big bad wolf.  

She barely escaped with her life. 

The wolf fared worse.

What if she wasn’t so innocent?
   
What if she lured and baited.   

Desiring the heart of her enemy.

Axl Rose, Pirate

Shorts – Gap
Shirt & Tank – hand me down
Sunnies & Necklace – F21
Shoes – Payless
Scarf – from my Babcia
“Argh, me matey!” is what I thought when I put on this kerchief.  That, along with, “Hmm, a little Axl Rose.”  But whatever.  I went with it.  I’m trying out different ways of having fun hair in the heat and humidity, and it’s a bit challenging sometimes.  I don’t want to always put my hair up, but I also don’t want flat lifeless hair just laying there.  So I thought I would give this a go.  Overall, I enjoyed wearing a fun kerchief and only once did I break into a Guns ‘N Roses song.  While on my bike.  Alone.  So you know, no witnesses.

…with fictional exploits of my imaginary life.  With the jaunts, the wishful thinkings, and the could-have-been of my fantasties.  Let me captivate you with all the possible presents, and the likely futures.  Let me regale you with all the things that are becoming. The wonders and the miracles.
Just don’t ask me to tell you of my failures, or my dreams unfulfilled. 
Can you miss an opportunity that never existed?

The Start of The B.C. Madness

I flew from Toronto to Vancouver, and then got on a tin little propeller plane to take me into rural B.C.  Now, I’ve traveled a lot, but always on big huge jumbo jets, and this tiny little thing made me wonder if I had to wear a parachute and sit in a cargo plane. But no.  It was quite luxurious inside, just small.

The view from the plane as I came in.

Sitting on the deck just after arriving was super.  Just relaxing with all the mountains around me.

The food has been just so delicious and wonderfully spiced.  The chef is pictured here and not only does he make great food, but he also provides adult beverages to accompany it, music to match, and jokes for a good belly laugh.

Heart On My – Bee!

So I was totally going to call this post “Heart On My Sleeve” in reference to the hearts on my cardigan, and I was going to talk about something sweet, but here’s a better story:

See that last picture where I’m looking all profound and philosophical?  Yeah, well just as the timer was going off on my camera I happened to hear a noise and noticed a bee flying dangerously close to me.  So the picture was totally forgotten while I focused in curiosity, indecision, and growing terror as the bee started a slow trajectory towards me.

Soon afterwards, I gave a high-pitched yelp, grabbed my camera and ran inside the house.  I’m just thankful I had the wherewithal to remember the camera!  Though in hindsight, I doubt the camera was a panicked as I was.

Give me zombies and I’ve got sword and gun expertise, but don’t you dare face me with a bee.

*Hangs head in shame*

Krikee!!

Drake and I are wracking our brains.  When Baby gets upset or frustrated she says/yells a word that sounds exactly like, “Kirkee!”  *She’s never seen the Crocodile Hunter*  I’m Polish, Andrew is Canadian/British, how did we end up with an Aussie baby?  So confused….

Alien Zombie Baby

Do you watch The Walking Dead?  Have you
seen the season finale?  It kicked butt!  I saw it late because I’ve
been busy, but here’s a thought.  In the show they’ve discovered that
they are all infected and that when they die – no matter how they die –
they all come back as zombies.  You don’t have to be bitten to turn into
a zombie.  Also, one of the main characters is pregnant.  

So here’s where my train of thought goes:
If
she miscarries in her third trimester, does her baby turn into a
zombie?  Does it claw it’s way out like that thing in Alien?  ‘Cause
though it would be really sad, it would also be kind of really cool.

Yeah, I know. 
If you think that’s bad, imagine how I feel.  I have to be around myself all the time!

Decorate Not Dictate

Jacket – Old Navy
Dress – bought in Spain
Scarf – Lace Affair
Socks – F21
Boots – Threadsence
I did a great shoot a few days back with a really fun couple, and I’ve got some amazing photos to edit.  I wore this number to shoot and crawled, jumped, and climbed in it.  I’m not one to let a skirt, or a nice dress stop me from rolling in the mud if that’s what it takes to get a great shot.  I figure, as much as I love them, they’re just clothes.  They’re here to decorate my life, not dictate how I live it. 
Speaking of those shots, the beautiful weather has delayed me in posting them, but I swear they’ll be up soon!
