stains

marilyn bought me these mitts and a toque. they're really colourful and the wool is very stringy. she saw them in a store and thought "lesley would like these, and knickers would hate them!!". that's totally awesome!! i love that she did that.

irina and i were just watching "top ten tragic deaths in rock n' roll" on much more music. i was surprised at how many i guessed ahead of time. and as expected, john lennon was number one. john is my favourite beatle. and that's saying a lot because i'm a mad beatles fan.

i find it interesting that some people are just born old, and other people stay young their whole lives. there are people who as they get older they seem more like themselves, and other people leave you thinking "what?? that person is 62??" seriously. joy's a little bit like that first option, where i'm like the second option. being a mom suits her. i'll settle for the fave aunt who will take joelle to get her nose pierced and will give caleb a mohawk. i gave joel a mohawk once, twice maybe. sarah, do you remember that? it was when he was going through that blond-hair stage. man, that joel, he's a character.

i'm toying with the idea of creating a website. i think i'll have to talk to tim forbes for some advise. but seriously, as a designer it would be a good idea. what if i get laid off and need to find a job? having a website would be a good way of showcasing my work. also, i don't know a lot about web design, but am starting to dabble with in via work, and creating a webpage would be a good way to practise that. expand my ability a little. however, the question is... what will i have on this site? i don't really know. but i got thinking about ed today, this guy i went to college with. he's a good friend of matt's (they both have small wrists, so they formed "the small wrist possé"). he has a nice little and rather vague website for self-promotion. its actually really nice. i like the photography section inparticular. here have a look see. i'm gonna brain storm on this one for a while.

i wish that i knew what i know now when i was younger

About some people "being born old"...my sister is the same way. I had a friend that was the same age as my sister and she always said that she felt very young when she was with Monique. Monique did have some 40 year-old characteristics when she was a teenager. It was interesting though because her closest friends are pretty silly at times.

yelsel said...

that IS interesting.

i need to watch my attitude though and not look down on the "old ladies" in my generation. they have a right to be "mature". just as i have a right to be "childish".

i missed you last night lissa, how was the concert??

It was AMAZING! I don't know if you have heard her, but she is a great poet and story-teller. You should check out her website sheeba.com. She lives her life well...she recently sold her house and all her contents and is just living minimally!

Listen to her song "Calling all Angels" if you have a chance. she had the whole audience singing with her last night.

I forgot you were responsible for the mohawk Lesley! I've gotta say I always liked the cut better than the colour. I think you are a way cool aunt and will stay that way for life.

yelsel said...

hahahaha, i think i actually liked the colour better than the cut. he kinda scared me with a mohawk. does he still have the 4 earrings? anything else pierced?

thanx sarah, you're a pretty rockin mom...

Friend Ships doesn't allow earrings for males so he had to take them out. Poor Joel. But i think he now has five holes...just in his ear!

yelsel said...

hahaha. that's hilarious!! poor joel indeed... didn't he get his first one when he was like 7 years old?? awww.
