I can mark this year down as one that officially SUCKS! It has been the worst one for me since 1998 and that was a bad one- First of all, I lost my sweet Mother , who was everything to me in June.....It has been so hard and I am still not over that- I don;t think that I ever will be...Then in August we lost My Husbands Father....Very quickly..another sad week there....And my friend and her Husband lost there Both Fathers within days of each other...

It has been like I said a aweful year...As I myself have been struggling with my health Issues...I have been in and out of hospital serveral times for my legs.....( I have Lymphedema )

Definition

Lymphedema refers to swelling that occurs most often in your arms or legs. It may affect just one arm or leg, but sometimes lymphedema can involve both arms or both legs.

The swelling occurs when a blockage in your lymphatic system prevents the lymph fluid in your arm or leg from draining adequately. As the fluid accumulates, the swelling continues.

No cure for lymphedema exists. But lymphedema can be controlled. Controlling lymphedema involves diligent care of your affected limb.

And also get serious infections because of this "cellulitis" Which I have to be in hospital and on IV antibiotics..This time my white cells were so high that they were keeping an eye on my heart as well all night.....Each time that this happens it destroys more and more tissue on my leg and I have to be very careful making sure to try not to let it happen again- (WHich is so hard) .....

I know I have to lose some weight and get more physical....but it is so hard when you are dragging a leg that is so heavy it feels like I have a person hanging off me.!!....I get so down with this ...

Hopefully with Gods help I can get to where I need to start and take things one at a time....

I hope that everyone is doing well......at least better than me...lol

I am sorry to bring everyone down - but there isn't anything else that I canlet ya know- Just what is going on in my life right now ..

Have a great day/ night all

Anne

Been awhile since I have entered anything here in my Journal, it has been such a hard time for me and I am finding it difficult to cope .
I lost my Mother last week, she passed away quietly with all of her family and friends that loved her dearly by her side. We found out that she had cancer on Good Friday...she had breast cancer and didn't want to let anyone know ( the older folk would rather think I guess if they ignored it, it just might go away) . And as they did a scan looking for other signs of cancer they fould a large mass ( 17cm) on her ovary.( The Doctors said it was not related to the cancer in her breast)...SO they thought they should take the larger of the 2 out here in Halifax, cause was a high risk patient (her age and diabeties) they were more equipped to handle a case like that here more than in Cape Breton...Yeah right! It took 2 hours and she came out of surgery with flying colors....everything was wonderful, she was well on her way to recovery when all of a sudden she started reatining fluid and her heart was racing.....this went on for several days and nothing was really done for her other than giving her pain killers and trying to " make her comfortable". Meanwhile this angel of a nurse was watching this happen to her and went over her boundries to tell the doctor that she needs some fluid medication and something to slow her heart down........She recieved the meds and started looking well again......... But the STOPPED the meds once more and it happened again.....this was hard on her heart..She wanted to return home to Glace Bay and be there with the rest of the family and just be "home ", I think she knew really!

On the way to Glace Bay from here where I live now-Distance 454 kilometres (282 miles) and she took another attack where - nothing done again - Just drugs ( which her kidneys weren't filtering it out ( hence the fluid retention)- when my sister and brothers got to the hospital there with the ambulance and her- there was one file (no chart with anything about her or what was going on ) and the note was....Do not reccessitate!!!!

Can you Imagine!!!!! She had a few bad days after that her heart couldn't take anymore......we took the 6 hour trip to be by her side and just made it.....I said goodbye to a friend and the best Mother anyone would ever have on Friday, June 5th....she waited for me to get there and we just made it.....she took her last breath half a hour later...and left us...

I can't believe that she won't be here anymore to laugh and carry on- just to call her and say hi Mom how are you and such......

I beleive that the Doctor's here did a lousy job at takeing care of our Mom- if it wasn't for the doctors here and the lack of knowledge ....I am sure she still would be here with us today!!!

They destroyed her heart ( which was normal and working fine prior to the surgery) and they also tore mine appart!!!!!

I love you Mom and will always miss you...

You're with Dad now

Rest in Peace

Anne

I can't seem to change the mook icon from joy to absolute sadness, it won't work for me .

SOME NEWS

AMAZING ARTWORK HERE ON DEVIANTART

Hope that everyone is doing well....

Was looking through the site and I was so amazed at all the great artwork here....Some just blew me away!!
Example- Deane...Aka RGUS -If there is any gallery you would want to look at - you definately should stop off at his- his work is breath taking and what he can do with the female character (rofl) the vertual one I mean always has me in a stupper...

Well other than that I am hoping to get all my poserstuff switched over to an external hd because my laptop is sooooo slow ....and rendering seems to take longer now I am not sure if it has to do with the low disk space because of all the folders and programs that I use...Either way I hope to have the problem fixed soon....

Well hope that you guys have a great day and enjoy your upcoming weekend!

Hugz to all

SOME FEATURED ARTWORK

Just a few works that caught my eye- didn't have much time to really pick many - I know there are so many gorgoeus works and I would love to favorite all of them!

SOME NEWS

My Upcoming Birthday

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful start of the New Year.....And that 2009 -And that 2009 yes 2 0 0 9! (I hope that now I will remember it is not 2008! haha)Brings more good times and laughter than anything else!!!
Thank You All

For your continued and kind support through out the last year.....

Well here it is, closing in on another Birthday....Yikes!!! 1 more year older, I could say that I am one year smarter....but that is a
laugh! It is funny that the older you get- it seems the more that you want to take one year away, not add another one! *Giggles*

Haven't been around to much lately, with my health not that good and other things going on in my life I haven't had much time to
spend with my favorite ppl here on DA and other sites...I still loves ya's though....

Other than that, there isn't much else going on ...... Oh Yes there is something I wanna mention though.....As some of you are
aware I am a animal lover, And the house was just full of furry little creatures.....well it was ro full...when we got back from our
Christmas Vacation....we had about 30 guinea pigs.....ok we started off with 3!!!!.....all those and 2 rabbits was - WAY TO MUCH
TO TAKE!! ..money wise alone trying to feed them...but come on already- 30! lol- well we gave all but the 3 females and 2 little
babies that are to tiny to separate away from their mom's yet, but they to are wanted already.....I feel so good though that they got
good homes and ppl that love animals like we do here.....cause there are so many out there that don't seem to have a heart when it
comes to little helpless creatures like that..It is so sad.....We did a some checking around to make sure that the ppl that were
adopting the little sweeties- weren't going to use them as a little snack for their pet snakes or something like that.....all in all it
turned out great! And YES I have learned my lesson! Little guinea Pigs breed like rabbits!! hehe

I came across this - if anyone is familiar with Cape Breton and the lingo that they use there ( Yeppers I am from there as well) hehe - this sure will get a giggle out of you !!!- Hope that you enjoy it!

I am a Cape Bretoner

Hey, I'm not a coal miner, or a fisherman and I don't live in a company house or own a kilt or play bagpipes, and I don't know John MacDonald although I'm sure if you knew his father's name or his family nickname, I might.

My father is on pogie...not Employment Insurance. I speak Cape Bretonese not English or French - unless I'm from Cheticamp. I say "Yous" not "you" when I am referring to more than one person.

I can proudly sing every word to "The Island". That "bet up" is the past tense of beat, and that after fifty you must go to "the Bingo".

The stick is something Ma threatened to beat you with... you are a minority in Cape Breton if your Grandmother didn't have at least one picture of the Pope or that portrait of Jesus Christ and a "puck" means a really hard punch or hit, not just something you use in hockey.

Nothing nice ever comes after the phrase "that one",<---- HA HA HA -your cousin is your cousint.

Just as a conversation can begin with "What's going on B'y"....you can ask a complete stranger to "saves a puff".

Moonshine, if drunk well, will give you the **********s- and you don't laugh really hard at something you
"roar" at it.

A BUNGALOW IS A COTTAGE
YOU DON'T PRONOUNCE THE ''H'' AT THE END OF KEITH'S
AND HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU PRONOUNCE "H" AGAIN?
BY THE WAY, IT'S A ''OINT'' OF RUM, NOT A PINT OF RUM
CAPE BRETON IS AN ISLAND OFF OF NOVA SCOTIA
THE FIRST NATION OF TARABISH AND FIDDLE MUSIC
AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA
MY LAST NAME STARTS WITH "MAC"
AND I AM A CAPE BRETONER!

Just got my Laptop back from the depot- it wasnt as long as I thought it would be to get it repaired- but again it has been about 4 times that there was something wrong with it....

Has been a depressing time of year for me lately- I am not sure - but I can't figure out why it seems that I have lost the Christmas Spirit I used to have years ago.... Does this happen when you get older?? You think it would be better because you would of has more of them under your belt and more to enjoy..
But it isn't like that...you would think that I should be so happy and enjoy the Season- we have our health and we have food, a roof over our heads...Kids are doing well....yet I miss those that aren't here with us now to enjoy it with...My Dad, Nan ....and my late x-Husband as well, uncles and Aunts that all passed away just with in these last few years...- Christmas seems to have just a darkness when it draws near...I think I underestand now why the older folk used to cry this time of Year- I would see them in Church and wonder why....now I think I know...
Wouldn't it be lovely just to have this one last Christmas with the ones that you love??.....But then Making new memories are something that I have to strive for now... I hope that everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season and make many wonderful memories of their own...hug the ones that you are sharing it with- and never be afraid to tell them that you love them....because you never know - life is just to short...

Thank You All
For your continued and kind support through out the last year.....

Merry Christmas
Best to all my friends in the coming New Year!

Been missing in action..lol- have had a busy summer so far- just got back from vacation last week and while I was there- Both David and I had a major booboo....yes and the thing about it is that both were our own stupid faults! ( Sorry babe but it was- lol)

David, while downloading his mail at the public Librairy, when he was leaving he put the van in reverse and went a little to far!!...Yes there is now a Dent in our NEW van....big enough that they cannot just pop it out- the whole hatch has to be replaced........grrrr....well look on the bright side I guess - thank Goodness it was a wooden partition that he banged into and not another vehicle!

And as for me....well.....this has happened to me before and you think that I would have learned from the first time!! But Oh No....I went and did it again- See I once had a IBM Laptop computer and I enjoy having my morning coffee and ready my emails etc.....and you can guess what happened! Coffee and Computers DO NOT mix!!! - That was the first time- then just on vacation I was doing some artwork on my Mothers(Somewhat Smaller Table) and I went to show her what I was working on and -..........Yes the Coffee went and spilt over my Not Even One Year Old Wacom Intuis3 tablet!!!!!!!- and just in the spot that would make it go POOF!! the buttons at the top ....man I was so mad at myself if I could have been able to kick my own ass- I would have!!!!-
I did learn now to keep any Liquids - Far Far Far- if not in the other room- hehe away from my Computer and Tablet...

I just hope that everyone is having a great summer.....it is coming up to one of my favorite times of the year.......fall..I love the briskness and of course- Halloween..hehe...I am a kid at heart..

take care everyone and remember to take time out and just smell the roses- but be careful for the bees- they will bite your nose!

Something ticked me Off

Well I was really ticked off knowing that someone can hate Larger people so much that they would leave a mean comment on their work....artwork that they took time and hours making....to share with us...And for someone to just reply by saying something mean ( because they hate fat ppl ) -- just isn't right!!!
Don't get me wrong- I do agree that being to large is hard on your health- but that really wasn't the thing that bothers me- it was once again the Comment that was made to her gallery on Renderosity!!

I apparently upset this person to the point of him sending me a site mail there telling me how Bad and aweful it is to be "fat".....

I commented on a beautiful render that WarpedHalo-Tina made of a Big lady in her gallery...

I thought is was just beautiful and got upset at that person for leaving the comment that he did...just saying "Pretty grotesque!" ...I was pissed because not only did he leave that message but because he don't even realize just how hard us as artists work to create such beautiful pieces so that we can share them with our friends.....

Just one Question...... What is NORMAL?

Thanks for looking...
I am a BBW and I am proud of who I am !!
Have a great week all...

PS- thanks for all the kind comments you left on all my art

Here is a link where I have some of my artwork as well
thanks for looking a great place to sell some of your works

I think that spring has finally sprung....It is a wonderful site to get up to no snow and just hearing the birds sing - well that alone is a treat! ..lol

I want to Thank Steven

For making me this lovely Journal- I Just love it!

In other News- last month we purchaced a New Vehicle...A Mini Van and it is in my favorite color as well- (giggles) yes it is blue........Dodge Grand Caravan- it has a dvd player and everything in it- but I am more glad that we can finally travel to Cape Breton this summer and not having to worry if the bottom is going to fall out of it! lol...And we are going to be comfortable...which again is another plus....and yes one more thing- at least the whole Family can go together....insead of David and me go one day while the kids get a bus up there ealier!...

I have been ill for a while now- Just so tired of being sick.....I can't imagine all those poor ppl out there suffering every single day with something that is far more worse than what I may have.....I should feel glad that it isn't something like that.......but who thinks like that though when you are in pain....do you actually think of others feeling worse than you??....I can't say that I do at the time.....cause all I wish is that it would just go away and give me one free day....

Thanks for looking at my new Journal and Please leave a comment as well.....It means so much to me that you do........

Have a great weekend

::What's New::

Again there isn't much that has happened since last update...other than the snow...we werent suppose to get this much snow- it was "suppose" to bypass us and hit Cape Breton hard and we here in Halifax and Dartmouth - we were suppose to get just 2 cm's of the white stuff...!! Yeah right...somebody was drinking when they were reading that weather forcast...

I must say that it does make everything look so pretty and fresh...but ......the walking, shoveling, and just trying to stay warm..lol

Other than that....slowly getting over being sick- (not the flu) I hardly ever get a cold or the flu...now that I haven't been smokng I rarely get sick that way...but the body is making me pay for it!! lol- been smoke free for almost 9 years now.....I quit just after my father passed away- since it was one of the major causes of his fast and untimely death- And I decided it was for the better since I had asthma and I knew it was just time before I would be refused any medical attention (my attacks) because I was killying myself and making this happen....Soon as I quit it was like 3 days and I could breathe better of course there is the part as well where Food tastes so damn good !! I am serious! I didn't really like strawberry's when I smoked ..but man it was like a burst of flavor- everything tasted better and hence the weight gain!!! lol

Now I have to concentrate on losing some of that because once again my health is being tested because of that...and it seems that it isn't as easy to do that now that I am older....my whole life was always a fight to try and lose weight, I was always a bigger person and was always envious of my younger sister- who could when we were younger "eat me under the table" that is what we used to say..Guess everyone is different.

Anyways enough babbling on my part here...everyone have a great week !!!

(Sounding like Mrs. Doom and Gloom here aren't I??) hehehe - Seems so bare around now- Must go and buy a lot of pictures and stuff to put up - hehehe

Now I am trying to catch up with all the comments and beautiful art that I have missed while I was away on Christmas vaction..So hopefully soon things will be back to normal and I will be all caught up... Yeah , Like who am I fooling??. Seems like I never can catch up..lol

Beautiful Christmas gifs by swtmelode

Not much happening on my end this week...just getting everything ready for Christmas..Never put up a BIG TREE -this year, mainly because I am going home to visit my Mom this Christmas....David and I are drving to Cape Breton and the kids are taking the bus there...guess they can't handle the 6 or 7 hours in the car with their parents! ...lol (by the way they are 19 and 20...lol)...Was worried about leaving for the 2 weeks though because we have so many animals that It is hard to get someone to take care of them all....Here are some of the animals we have....

1 4 guinea pigs..2 of which are PERUVIAN (long haired ) and 2 are ABYSSINIAN (hair all over the place) lol

2 2 Rabbits....a Large Loppit ( who is blind in one eye ) and a dwarf bunny-both are males but have female names cause we thought they were females...Emily and Lilly

3 A iguana that is almost over 5 feet long now- his name is Jub Jub

4 Another lizrad..a MALI UROMASTYX

5 A fishtank upstairs that is 50 gallons with 2 sharks and others ...to many to remember..lol

6 Another smaller tank downstairs.

See the thing that I am worried obout is my little buddy Joel - he is the male Peruvian guinea pig, he has been sick for a few months now- had several operations on his teeth ( he couldn't eat and lost so much weight that he is just bones) He was getting better there for awhile but now is not able to eat again by himself so I am feeding him with a shringe....All through his ordeal ...he is still the kindest and most gentle one of them all...When we open the doors of the cage, he knows it means something good is coming and we have to be very careful with him because he just JUMPS right out into our arms!!!...

So the good thing about this all is that we have a young lady that works in a pet store....she is coming over this Christmas and taking care of the Monkeys.( that is what David and I call the little critters ) haha....She knows what to do and how to take care of the sick and not so sick critters.....I just hope that Joel will be ok when we are gone....

You know some people wonder why all the fuss - Someone said to me..."He is just a RAT get him put down!!" Can you imagine?? Man some ppl have no heart ....he might be to that person but to someone that actually has blood beating through their heart, he is our pet...each one of those little creatures have their own little personalities and it kills me to see little Joel trying to fight and eat food that he cannot chew nor get into his mouth!!!! I will upload a picture of Joel and maybe the rest of the gang if I can find a picture of them so that you can see them....

So...Santa to is coming to the little ones here in the form of a person that knows about animals of that kind (afterall- she is the one that we bought most of them from) lol

Take care everyone and have a good week

I cannot believe just how fast December came- it just seemed like we were out on the patio soaking up the hot rays - dying in the heat of summer and wishing it would snow for 5 minutes- At least I did....lol and here it is !! Before you know it - Christmas will be here and gone and it will be 2008!!

I was doing some cleaning up and dusting off a bookcase that I have in my room....my hubby has so many books- art ones, Computer ones. etc .....And instead of putting them away neatly when he was finished reading...he put them at the top...stacked ...I didnt notice this - as I was dusting off one of the shelfs, it shook and W H A M M O several hard cover books came a tumbling down- ontop of my head......and it is true.....the first thing you see is stars ...then feel the pain.....lol I thought I had split my head open but I guess I have a thicker skull than I thought I did....hehe

Well it finally came....the day that I thought I could do css- hahaha that is a laugh....all I did was copy and paste into the places that it should be and

that itself took me over 2 hours..lol because...I didn't know where to put the stamps and thumbnails and then I was almost finsihed and....and ....I

clicked......BACK!!!! I lost it all....I had to get up and do something else other than this because at that moment I was wondering ...."Just how far does a

laptop go , if thrown off the patio??!!!!!!" GGggrrrrrrr...... I am ok now....that helped..hehe

So let me see- I want to thank

for explaining to me about the icons and thumbs- you are a darlin girlfriend..!!

Do you ever wonder where the time has gone? why does it seem to be moving so fast lately...man I was sitting the other day and thinking....it seemed

like yesterday my kids were born....now they are 19 and 20.....I remember when I came to Live here in Nova Scotia.....from Labrador City, I was just

23.....Mom and Dad - and their friends were the "older" crew...we were so young and never thought of getting older- of the future like I am now....
And now I think....my gawd, most of the "older " ppl I was refurring to when I was 23 are no longer here...my Dad....uncles etc- now we are the "older"

ones to our kids and you know what.......... THAT SUCKS!!
I know it is a part of life ..but I am not coping very well with alot of things....I think it might be because of that dreaded "change" thing again....... Have to blame it on something..lol-

I miss my hubby

he is gone now till Friday on a business trip...this week is going to be so long and boring, I think I will have to keep myself occupied in other ways....

I have been going through all the beautiful gallery's here on Deviant and am in awe of the work that is put into some of them- I was hoping that I could learn to do mine - all the pretty stamps, the themes - and all the tiny nic nacks ......but I have NO IDEA how what so ever- I am so computer stund when it comes to that ( believe it or not ) haha
If there is anyone out there that reads this and wants to help a lost soul- make her gallery look mmmnnn purdy.....

I would so greatly appriciate the help!!........Mine is so grey...dull and boring...how do I JAZZ it up a notch- like WHAM!!! there it is....

Here it is 5 am and I can't sleep- had to get up because - My skin is crawling...itchy- woman poor things what we have to do through..

..If any are experiencing the wonderful time of thier lives called " the change" you know what I am talking about- grrrrr

....Oh and those lovely hot flashes!!!! sometimes I wish that there is 10 feet of snow out there just so I could roll in it nakid........lol ( Bad thought ) ..And the mood swings...one moment you are laughing at something and the next- you are crying because your deviant site isn't as pretty as other ppls.....

On that note- I am going to go and do some rendering till I pass out or the sun comes up which ever one happens first...thanks for stopping by and reading my rantings...oh and THANK YOU for anyone that wants to give me a hand in making my journal go from blah to wow!

PS- I know nothing about css- what in the world is that anyways...

Well this is my first entry in my journal...not really used to doing this but - here it goes...There are some ppl that really take the cake.. meaning, ok if you don't like someones art, fine that is your choice- move on and look at something that you do like .But DON"T belittle someone by just say something mean and stupid so that it might make you feel alittle better about your art or your life- or whatever is going on that would make someone be so negative against your works....

Imho....there is Constructive criticism , a way someone would like you to learn, and help you along that path by telling you politely just how things done differently that may make your work better....then there is the ones that think - by saying- "I don't like it - Lousy...and not explaining why they don't like it.....oooh that just is not right!! It gets me so pissed off!!!!!I am a kind person and hardly get rattled..

I understand that once you post anything on the internet that you take the chance of drawing not all the positive people , there will be the ones that make you just wonder- "what the hell is wrong with that person?"...lol.....So I just look at it this way, move on ......if you don't agree with someones artwork .....DON"T be a ass and say something mean to them....they have worked hard on it and for you to lash out and take that away!!!! -

And this isnt just about me...it is about a lot of artist friends that I have- where there are assholes making comments that just shouldn't be.....OK ...."Deep breath"......now I have vented and I actually feel good ..

..Hey maybe this will become a good release for me...haha....
