Quick Post.

Sitting here waiting to go out with hubby and baby. So I figured I'd jot down something on here. As of today it is 16 more days to go until the day I leave to go to my hometown. I can't wait either. I miss all my friends. I keep playing in my mind what I will do with certain friends, but God only knows what will really take place. I keep thinking that I will be able to see everyone that I want to see, but I am coming to terms with the fact that I might not see everyone.

Well what was intended to be a long post on here has to come to an end, my daughter is done eating her green beans and that is who we are waiting on so we can go and run our errands. I will be sure to try and post more frequently.

Free Preview Of An Excerpt From My Book

So, I've decided that since the site I went through with publishing has this option for me to upload an excerpt of my poetry I might as well take advantage of it and see what my family and friends and people through the world think of my book.
This link I am about to share with you will allow you to give feedback and answer some questions about my book and also give me a rating on my book as well.
So feel free to take a look and read the excerpt at the following link: Free Preview
Thank you to all of you who will take part in this. I also created a feedback for you to give your most honest opinion so please take advantage of that.

A Lonely Night

I am here by myself, not really the baby is here. Although, Jonathan has an awkward shift where he is going to be spending the night over for his short change. He works until 12 at night and has to be back to work for 8am. So, here I am lonely. And can't sleep. Jonathan is my security. I don't feel safe in bed at night with out him by my side. And for this one night makes me think of the military wives that deal with their husbands being gone months at a time.
I don't like Jonathan being away from home right now for the one night. I am sure I'd be a basket case if he were in the military. So, to keep myself together I am trying to busy myself until I get sleepy and thank God for David Smith and his blogs. I am reading the two newest ones that I have not yet to read. After that I am sure to go onto wattpad (a website for writers) and see what's up on there for some good reads.

Well my baby is up as well now and is crying her freaking head off so I guess duty calls for a diaper change and a nice hot fresh bottle. Later taters.

A Stressed Time In My Life

I am sorry I haven't posted in a while. I been busy being as mom as most of you know. And planning my trip down home and packing everything also, because we will be moving into a new place upon arrival back here in Edmonton so a lot has to get done. Most of it is done so far, just a few odds and ends need to get packed now.
Just when it seems like I have got the chance for some down time. It has been come to my attention that one of my very good friends at the moment has not been heard from in about a week. I noticed this on his mom;s status. It has me worried now; because as I got to thinking then I realized that for a whole week also that I have not received any replies from him at all. I sent him three different inbox messages and no response. He usually signs online and gives me the decency of a response to let me know he got the message and will reply to it at a more convenient time, but this time around for a whole week. I got nothing in response to him.
So, I guess you can say I am very worried. He was one of the many friends that I planned on hanging with when I get home for my vacation. Before I moved away I hadn't seen him two years before my moving away, so this is definitely making it hard for me to accept the fact that he is missing and may not be alive. It brings tears to my eyes right now.
So, just in case you are reading this Collin, please get in contact with your mom to let her know you're alright. You are worrying us all sick. This has caused me to not gain any amount of sleep. I want my worries to be put to rest. I know you've got to be out there, because you're a smart guy and tough. I know you can defend yourself, So I am going to trust in God that you're fine. Love you.
Well I am done for now. I am mentally and emotionally drained from all of this at the moment. So for those of you out there that are prayer warriors please pray for this situation and that he is found and ALIVE.

LRT/Downtown/Photosession

Yes, I am going to be taking the LRT by myself with out the hubby. Even though I am still confused with Edmonton. I am meeting up with a friend I made here in Edmonton going downtown with the baby to do coffee, then later he is going to practice his photography on me and Aaliyah. So, it will be interesting Mommy and Me session. I have a couple of outfits to switch Aaliyah into. I bought a beautiful show piece style tutu for her to wear. I am going to put her bathing suit on underneath her clothes. So I can slide her tutu on with ease.

Anyways I do not have anything else more to say. I need to go to bed early and 10:20pm is early for me. I won't get up in the morning if I don't have the proper amount of sleep. Plus I need my morning cup like most of you all do. And get some breakfast into me as well.

Okay I promise I am going to go this time, because I am rambling nonsense now that has nothing remotely close to do with my title. So long, farewell, goodnight to you all.

So Many Things Going On At Once

Maybe this matter is just in my family, or maybe not. But as usual everytime I am on the computer doing my own thing. The television is on and no one else is in the house, but me. I am not even paying attention to what's on the tv really. Also, the radio is always going too. And any other kind of thing you can think of.

When I go out of my way to actually turn all these things off, I find I can't get anything done, even though most people will tell you that having silence is the best way to write poetry or books. In reality, well for me is, I find I can't function without them, even though I don't need them. If that sentence made any sense at all. Haha.

Is it normal for a plethora of things to be going at once even though you're not even using them or paying any mind to it?

I hope I am not the only one here. Although, I probably am knowing me.

Well this is a short lived blog, just wanted to get that off of my chest since no one here is to talk about it with me. I am going to go back to my writing once again and see if I can 'function' without all these things going on.

Before I forget, I promised in my last post that I was going to update that one with my friend David Smith's link to his blog, but since I am here now in this post I have it on me and well here it is and enjoy

Dave's Blog <------ Right there everyone. He has an interesting mind and he is smart in many more ways than I. I am just curious as to what his brain is writing down onto his laptop for his great big book he will be publishing. Knowing him, it will be something out of the ordinary, but it will still be a huge success. Just because he can do it and he has the right attitude about everything. So, I am out for now until next time. No GO! Check out Dave's blog if you haven't already.

Coffee Before Bed Is Not Good

This is just a boring old post, because I can't seem to fall asleep even though I am well aware of the fact that being up early in the morning is I have to do. I am just lying there in bed trying to let slumber come upon me; but it's not happening. So, while I am here and blogging for once in my life. Here is a little bit of what has been going on in the Morin family.

So, Aaliyah is walking now, she has been doing so for the last week with out holding onto anything. Usually she will hold onto whoever is nearby or a coffee table and sometimes her little plastic chair I got for a dollar (compliments of dollarama).

Jonathan and I are planning on going down to our home land for a visit since we have been away for 11 months. We are going to be there for august 17th to sept 1st. Also, he did just put in another request for two more extra days that he has recently earned. We want to try to be at home for vacation as long as possible so we can see as many people as we can.

As for my poetry book. It is going alright, it has not taken off all too well, but I don't care. Not in it for the money. I had a few close friends buy my book and I am ordering some books to bring home on vacation with me to sell to the friends who do not live by using master cards, visa's, discover or american express since that is the only method of payment for buying a copy offline in these modern days. I have been writing a lot more poetry so here's to a possibility of publishing another soon enough.

On my leisurely time I spend a lot of time creeping on my families facebooks down home, it is the only thing that brings me close to them since I am so far away at the moment. I also love to post things up on pinterest too. Another thing I enjoy doing even though I may not comment on his blog often, but I am always reading my friend Dave Smith's blog. I will have to edit this blog and make a link for his name so you can check him out. I would do so right now, but I am being lethargic at the moment.

So, just incase you're reading this post Dave. HEY!! Loving your blogs. I read them daily.

I hear someone is awake upstairs. This late at night, hmm maybe if I got check, then I will know who has been raiding my treat drawer all the time and not fessing up. Oh well whatever. My treats aren't expensive anyways. Mine consist of chocolate bars from the dollar store for 69 cents. Go ahead eat away for all I care. Just wish who ever you are would at least save me the bueno's bars filled with hazelnut. Okay, I am rambling now. BORING!! You guys are probably snoring reading this post. Anyways moving along to something more interesting.

Okay, well I have nothing interesting to say. Not like living in Edmonton is all it is cracked up to be. It consist of humid hot days. All sitting in the kiddie pool with my baby in the backyard. And if not that, then at the mall across the street. Sometimes if I am lucky, hubby will take us to West Edmonton Mall. It's cool at first, but once you kind of know where you're going it tends to get boring like any mall does.

Well I best be on my way. Got to go try and get some sleep. Hmm I should stop drinking coffees so close to bedtime. DUH me. Of course that is what is keeping me up all the time. I am so clueless half the time. The ironic part of me not being able to sleep too is, my hard to put to sleep baby is sound asleep. Go figure! God love her.

Alright good night everyone I am done for now.
