Took a Quiz.... Part 2
What Color Style Are You?
Quiz Results:
Energy & Optimism is your color style
Looking outside the box is second nature to you and the colours in your home reflect your adventurous and positive attitude. With your fearless approach to decorating, you are drawn to a palette of bold, fresh hues and are likely to try out new ones at the drop of a hat. Inspired by art and fashion, you choose colors that spur your creativity and provide a daring backdrop for all your contemporary furnishings and unique and fabulous finds.
Huh. Now if only I could USE my strength in this area without backing down of fear first!
My goal for the new year (oh yes, I'm making one!): To follow m design heart as long as it won't kill Tyler while accomplishing it! *L*

Ahh Van Morrison!
Here I am, supposed to be getting ready for shopping and a night out with my kids, sitting at my computer listening to Van Morrison!
Oh Van, how you have a special place in my heart!
For a split second I caught myself with my eyes closed remembering a time of my Mom and I in our living room.... Van Morrison in the background and the winter snow blowing outside.
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling I get inside me.
Sort of like the feeling you get after swallowing a mouthful of hot chocolate.
It makes me feel safe and warm inside.
I love Van Morrison's work and could listen to it all night.
I love the way it makes me think of my childhood.... Music, My Mom and I.... All have a special place in my heart.
Off I go to get ready while listening to 'Brown Eyed Girl'.....

Loooooooove......
This!
(Umm... The Sapphire one!)
I've "asked" Tyler to get this for me..... (Well... "Told" would be more like it) for when we have our Temple Marriage and Sealing as a Family!
*LOL*
I've even taken him to see it! Ha!
But who knows... Just another thing to add to my "Wish List" like my "Oh My, Oh My, Oh My" blog...
A gal can dream, right??!!
;)
Geese + South =
A very, VERY sad Mista!
Today I went out to close my back windows of my van (it's been gloomy for the past few days)only to notice that there are Geese flying south!
SOUTH!
Already! Ack!
I know that summer is coming to and end... Especially here in Alberta. We practically live in 10 months of winter and two months of summer. Lately we've had 30+ degree weather....
I LIVE for 30+ weather..... While most people I know are complaining that it's too hot I'm soaking it all in while I can. Must keep my warmth reserve on high for the whole winter! *L*
Now please don't think that I won't go as far as to say 'Yup, it's hot!'.... I'll happily mention how hot it is... But I prefer not to complain about it... I save that up for the -40 weather we get all winter!
Anyhoo, back on track.... So here I am, slightly down by the fact that a few days ago the lake behind out house was hosting a Canadian Geese party only to know that the party theme was 'Bon Voyage!'.....
*sigh*

Emma's new eyes!
Well if you haven't heard the news already, I'll explain...
In my previous blog 'Weekend update!' I mentioned on the Monday (28th) I had taken the girls to their very first eye appointments.....
Well Emma and Zoë did an awesome job! Emma went first, of course, and did everything Dr. Mah asked of her. She was spitting out the names of the shapes on the wall, "Cake, Car, Horse...." but when it got to he 20/20 line she'd stop.
After the 'look into the light' test and such I was told the news.... Emma needed glasses.
It was funny... At first I wanted to bawl.... But then I decided to play up the exciting side of this situation. When we told Emma that she would need glasses from here on end she was excited! What an awesome little girl I have!
Apparently she has 20/20 vision in her right eye but a -2 astigmatism in her left eye.... Just like her Mommy!
Tyler had corrective lenses for a little bit when he was little and hated every moment of it.... I on the other had started kindergarten learning to read juts by the fuzzy outlines of letters and numbers... I know am up to a -5 astigmatism in my eyes and a $1000 bill every 2 years for new glasses, lenses, etc.
Anyhoo... Onto Zoë's appointment.... She did awesome considering her age. She did the first shape part with no major issues (as long as she was sitting on my lap) but when it came to the 'look into the light' and place your face on this neat thing, she wasn't having any of it! *L* But the Dr. Mah was impressed! I guess that's all that really matters! *L*
We'll be going back in 6 months for a check-up on Emma and her glasses and to finish up Zoë's appointment. Dr. Mah did mention that it's looking like Zoë has a astigmatism as well.
Yippee??!!
So after the appointment the girls got to choose a toy out of the toy drawer (now that's well worth the appointment! *L*) and then Emma was off to pick her very first pair of glasses!
Now there's something you need to know about Emma.... She's stylish! She always has been... I actually like asking her opinion on things regarding clothing and such, as does Tyler! We're very impressed with her design abilities. But yes, she walks over to the wall of kid glasses and doesn't even hesitate.... She sees the ones she likes and starts pointing! After trying on a few choices she's narrowed it down to two! Amazing, I would have been there for hours! *L* In the end we all (we had a helper) decided that the darker purple frames looked best....
We placed our order (which was to some in on Wednesday, yes only two days later!) and headed out.
A day later I received a call letting us know that her glasses were in! Wow! Unfortunately pay day is Wednesday.... So first thing Wednesday before swimming lessons we headed over to pick up her glasses!
They are adorable! Yes maybe a little wide for her face (as my Hubby pointed out) but I DON'T CARE! What I do care about is that Emma was thrilled, and still is, about having glasses! She fell in love with this pair and loves taking care of them, what more can I ask for?
