........

i'm more into resolving
*
i want to be thankful for my past year
learn from it
resolve
&
move forward
*** if i lose weight.. make a million & get a 6 pack **BONUS ***

2010
another year that hit me
hard core

i learned
sooooooooooo
much*

where do i start??

colman
* my amazing sunshine *
he's 13
will hug me goodnight..
tell me he loves me..
remember
***he is 13** im so lucky ***
&
they said it wouldn't last
:)

he laughs with me
holds my hand when it's slippery
catches me when i fall
goes to movies with me
....even chick flicks ...
out to dinner
sledding
wants me to cut his hair instead of me taking him somewhere
&
when he hates it
says
" it's not your fault.. i should have told you what i wanted better "
*seriously.. what a doll.. his new cut is really cute tho*
he smiles & laughs & jokes
with
me
is my biggest fan
&
i am
his
as much as i can't erase the pain of the divorce
i wish
i could
all
i can do is
love
&
get along with his daddy
&
that
i do!

*resolve*

my divorce
yes
a big
OUCH
looking back
* i realize i was so fortunate *
i raised my son
i
painted
hiked
biked
played
all with colman
*everyday*
we lived in our dream home
i started a successful business
****
that
i
will
have supporting me again in this coming year
****
..my needs were met ..
..our needs were met..
the
love
it didn't stop with his dad
just changed...
just wasn't what we both needed after 15 years

*resolve*

work
i like it
but
does it like me???

i hesitate to say anything about my job
i am so grateful for it
i work with
some
AMAZING PEOPLE
but honestly
more
griping
bitching
moaning
not
so
amazing people

ish
"would you shut it already people"

so
i'm quiet
don't say much
i just
do my job
smile & giggle
with a few
&
that's what i will do

i forgot not everyone will like you
i of course for years only had to deal with people who liked
me
enjoyed
my art
my dogs
we shared interests

duh maggie???

*i miss being liked for just being me*
i painted
made people
smile
laugh
remember a moment
a pet
a child
a friendship
it meant something
&
it was appreciated

*it is what i dreamed of doing*

i realize now how much
* i miss my paint brushes*
* i miss being "liked"*
i realize
*i would have colored my hair & disguised my age
had i worked a traditional job*
yep
that was a shocker ...
me
????? conform ?????
i never thought the work place was such an
influential & discriminating
place
but
it
is

i never thought i was
"old"
apparently
i am
i never thought i would say
"geez that generation sucks"
but
yep
i said it
i'm
old
or
yes indeed
i am correct
*that generation sucks*

i knew i was fortunate
now i
KNOW
i want it back
to
work
live
be
&
*make a living making myself & others happy*

HUH??

almost unheard of
but
i had it
still do
just need to
focus

* perhaps a few classes back teaching the kids art will help*

i realize that the last few years ...
i had a extremely full plate
was grieving so much
&
it takes time to heal
now
i'm ready

...house sold...
...we have started looking for new places...
...we close in 2 weeks ....
im overwhelmed with having to move
all my possessions into storage until i find a place
....but i can do this...
simple
next move...
our
new home
* mine & colmans *

* resolve*

my paint brushes..
digging out my mailing lists & getting back what i had but better
*PRIORITY*

finding my place in this world
as a single woman
happy
capable
dreaming
hoping
&
making it happen
will be
a
reality

on my own
with my
colman
our dogs
shy cat
family & friends
that believe in me
in
us

* resolve *

i hope your 2010 was full of
lessons learned
growth
love
&
found peace
&
that
your
2011
well...
be the same
just
* more sparkling *
sounds pretty good yea??

*hold on tight & believe*
~ maggie ~

* shes amazing *

* my mom *

i remember as a little girl
KNOWING
my
* mom was so beautiful *
her hair naturally curled perfectly
* she never had a bad hair day *

i loved her
... jewelry...
&
...her clothes...
...she had perfect eyebrows...
never wore more than mascara..blush & lipstick
&
was
ALWAYS
...noticed when she walked in a room...

she
.. smelled good...
all the time!
is it silly i remember that?
* i think it was it was guerlain or chloe *

...she was always remembered ..
couple weeks ago a boy i know from elementary school
said he remember her tieing his shoe
for him...
i love that he remembers she took time to do that
&
...it left a sweet impression on him...

she could
make
ANYTHING!!

* every halloween costume *
* christmas stockings *
* of course i still have THAT stocking *
&
* yes thats me in the play pen *
...she had an amazing garden full of tulips...
* this is probably pre-spring bloom
trust me it was amazing *

took us on adventures
&
enjoyed
it
&
US!!

* all 4 of her babies *
you name it
she could do it!!
&
...to top it off...
she played in leaves!

*i think i may like this best*
nothing like a beautiful woman
not afraid to have
fun
&
get dirty
!!

she
is
* amazing *
* brave * & * beautiful *

she has outlived both her parents ..
&
...her own daughter..
... a mothers greatest fear...
she is a
cancer survivor
&
she knows she has many angels

* she can swim like a fish*
* walk faster than anybody i know without breaking into a sweat*
*her toes are always pointed*
*her hands always lotioned*
* fingernails always filed *
&
*she can laugh so hard she cries*

i miss her...
she lives in arizona...
i just wanted to let her
know how much
i love her
&
think of her
&
hope one day to
achieve even half her strength

November 9th
she turned
70
&
she
was thrilled
!!!

*this is my favorite photo of her *

ask anyone that knows her
* her friends* family * children * those who she mothers *

* they will tell you the same *



I LOVE YOU MOM
I ADMIRE YOU
&
HOPE ONE DAY
I WILL ACHIEVE
YOUR STRENGTH
...brains & beauty ...
not so sure i can do that
but
strength
* my goal *
:)

so for no special reason
outside
of
letting you
know

I LOVE & MISS YOU MOM

i write this
to
YOU

* all of you go hug your moms *
&
linda
if your reading this
please
go hug "mom" for me
:)

~ maggie ~

*** can you read lips? ***

yep ..
me
29 minutes to get to work
&
*** NO CAR BRUSH/ICE SCRAPER ***

i was packed in ..
my own igloo on wheels!

you would think after a couple winters here i would get
with the program..
obviously i've been in denial!!

tis the season of...

* warming up the car *
* scraping the windshield *
* freezing cold gas nozzles *
* frozen shut car windows & doors *
* frosty windows that refuse to defrost *
not to mention
ramming the grocery cart
through
snow drifts & snow slop
to get from store to car...

so with that said...
i thank this little house
so shiney & bright
that had me driving my mobile igloo around the block twice to admire...


so
until it thaws
this is me
* nanook of the north *

adapting..
conquering
&
bashing
on
regardless!!

* holding my new snowbrush/ice scaper *

...stay warm & buried out...

~ maggie ~

** me ... you & hulu **

so ..

here i sit after months of comcast
scrolling warnings across the top of my tv screen..
they warned me
to hook up my adapter for this new digital tv dealie..
they
warned that i may lose some channels
&
yes
i did ..

slowly...
they wiped out channels ..
a few at a time
but
i had
bravo
i was fine..
but
then
i noticed all i had was 5 channels
which was still
ok...
i love sleeping to court shows..
* remember i typically sleep in the day *
so still all was good...

then
today...
i had the
evening
off..

i was feeling
* inspired *
* awake *
* ...had programs to watch tonight... *
i
was
ready to

HOOK IT UP

my box doesn't work

ugh

so
tonight
on my night off
i am missing
the new episode of housewives of atlanta
one of my guilty pleasures
* along with bridezillas *
..
i think i may want to live vicariously
through these women...
is that terrible?

as much as i desire to be
respected
cherished
&
treated wonderfully
because
of
love
&
mindfulness

not
because
i scare the shitt out of you
so
you better do & say as i want you too!!

yep..
you know what im talking about!
you've watched these shows
whats up with these women..
&
men
what are you thinking??
really
you like that??

maybe i should conduct an experiment..
should i channel a little
nene or kim?

can you imagine
me acting like that!!!

i don't think i could deal with myself...

forget it

it will happen for me...
i just need to get through
the frogs
right?

until then
&
until
i pick up my new digital adapter box
in the morning...

it's me
YOU
&
hulu

* sweet dreams *

~ maggie ~

*** a girl full of yada yada ***

* boys are ridiculous*

ha!!
really...
i am stunned by a good 75% of them!!
the ones i have as friends are so amazing!!!
what happened to the single ones
that i run into
?!?!?!?

i thought dating would be much different from dating in my early 20's

wishy washy in your 40's .....
really?!?!?!

men
unsure of who they are
what they
want
need
desire

i have dated men who turn out to be
~ OUTRAGEOUS liars
~ demanding of time
~ demanding of me
~ color their hair
* this is seriously bizarre to me *
* i love silver streaked hair on men think george clooney *
~ have called me
"a leaky bucket"
because i order diet coke with dinner
~ turn out to be bullies
~ have no integrity
~ think they can buy me
~ are upset when i don't get jealous
~ are upset when i do my own thing
~ insist i can't be happy
~ insist i hate my ex-husband
~ even one that ate ice cream knowing their
lactose intolerant!!!
yeah...seriously gross huh?

****don't worry i moved on****

one of the strangest things i have noticed
if i am kind... pay attention ... listen...
ignore their drama
*yes men you add silly drama*

be a friend

they assume
obsessed

yes
* images of glen close
scariest female actress in history
movie "fatal attraction" flashs through
my head
she scares the hell out of me *

now with me....
i chatter
be it text... phone... whatever
*chatterbox*
so it is not unlikely to get a random text from me
saying basically
NOTHING
*Ex: remind me to take the bowling ball outta the
back of my truck it's rolling around & driving me nuts!
*Ex: ooo look to the east it looks like the Simpsons sky
*Ex: :P
*Ex: balloon boy cnn hurry turn it on!!!

apparently
translated in mens minds
* she loves me *

no matter how many times you gently use the word
friend
they don't believe you

so i ask.....
*are men STILL unable to have friendships with women?
*do they believe that they are not
worthy/capable of just a friendship?
*have they all fell victim to those terrible women on
bridezillas
**a program i admit to being amazed by**
~ demanding
~ emasculating
~ obnoxious
~ insecure

have we as women ruined them??
*that seems silly...i give them more credit ...
men haven't ruined
US
**
bad relationships....
bad marriages...
what the hell happened????

when i was married i didn't have to worry about
being misunderstood
with a comment or compliment
to a male friend
but
now being single ..
I DO
!?!?!?!

did my wedding ring actually work as a buffer??
she's married its all good?
with affairs & divorce rate
i doubt it

i have to learn to really curb my thoughts...
comments
behavior
and
this
is
VERY
difficult for
me!

i am the little sister of 3
i go into
* little sister pest mode *
when misunderstood
it's a syndrome
i'm self diagnosed

i will pester you with hellos
&
yada yada
even if i sense you think i'm totally digging you

i continue on with the friendship until you
loosen up & figure out
that's all it is

* me *
a girl full of
yada yada

&
yes
i admit
.. it fascinates me ...
men your reactions to
kindness
thoughtfulness
friendship
fascinating

******
...sincerely...

* Día de los Muertos *

* Día de los Muertos *

it's just around the corner..
november 2
it seemed fitting to celebrate it today...
the death of so much in my world
but what a rebirth**

i have been thinking a lot of
"my time line"
sorta sounds weird but i literally
feel like the rug was pulled out from beneath me..
swift & hard ..
&
yes
i totally fell on my ass!

i have never put it on paper.. .
or really dated things
in my blurrrrrr......
i still tell people i just moved to MN because i feel like i just did!!
i think we all have our blurrs...
this is mine

may 2007 move cross country from AZ to MN
aug 2007 second move in MN about 8 miles
* crazy neighbors ** REALLY CRAZY i don't regret moving AT ALL *
aug 2008 dad passes away
may 2009 find out my husband wants a divorce
** from my father-in-law.. at the local applebees **
** REALLY i thought i was being punked**
July 2009 sister passes away leaving 5 young children
* i made the gut-wrenching call to my mom telling her her oldest daughter died *
july 2010 my divorce is final & i find out i have to sell my home
aug 2010 son..3 dogs..cat & i move in with my sister-in-law & brother until house sells
sept 2010 renovations to sell my house begin
oct 2010 house is ready to sell & put on the market

*
..waiting
for a buyer

these last 3 years
i have learned more than words...
my bad grammar
&
horrible punctuation can express

love
life
material things
in a millisecond
can be

* gone *

if you don't have

*family*friends*self-love*character*belief*dreams*hopes*faith*integrity

you got nothing

don't let those moments to connect slip away
they will
&
ooo so fast

*i am so grateful to have had my moments*

today i celebrate you
dad & susie
my angels
i miss you
i love you
i thank you
i laugh with you
i smile with you
i cry with you

*you two are amazing & i learn from you daily
thank you for picking me up
walking with me & keeping my faith alive*

* kisses to heaven *

i love you

**** nervous ****

i'm a little nervous..
i went back to work
as in
work-ity work work work
i'm not painting full time anymore
just for now
not for long
:)
i have a new job...
just part time
but
it has
been
beyond
full
time hours...

do i like my job???

* YES *

but...
i miss the freedom of my paintbrush...
... my time ...
this
...makes me ...
... nervous ...

the past 3 years ...
have really changed me
... all the moving ...
deaths...
...divorce
sorrow...
...new responsibilities

i would have never imagined this
would
be
me

*** BUT IT IS ***

i feel
stronger...
wiser...
happier...
more capable..

soooo
what's my deal??

honestly???

it is getting very cold outside....
.....working in a traditional sense .....
ties me down
to
hours
minutes
seconds
days
on a clock...

images of
...scraping the windshield
heating up the car...
....windchill factors
waist high snow drifts...

i know
i'm totally hormonal

i'm quite sure
this makes no sense!!!

i just want
... my patio in the desert ...
... my daily hikes in the foothills ...
... sprinkler running at the park ...
... windows down ...
paints
canvas
wood
brushes
flip flops
tank top
fabulous flowy skirt
scent of
blooming jasmine
&
orange blossoms
roses roses roses
warm sunshine
electrical thunderstorms
brilliant fiery sunsets
cloudless blue skies
twinkling dancing stars

i had it all
... right here ...




my old house

but
guess
what
???!?!?!

i have blue prints
i can
recreate
better
stronger
lovelier
than
before
right??

ok

so that calms me
a little
bit

ahhhhhhhhh

*** candy corn with dad ***

i like to visit with my dad regularly..
especially this time of year
before snow falls
&
the ground is to cold for me to sit
&
stay long...

on my halloween visit ...
i bring candy corn
he liked candy corn...
&
i
sit...
just sit
but within minutes
i'm crying...
it has been since july 2008
&
time hasn't made it easier...

yesterday was a tough day ...
i found myself just blocks from him
so i decided
to drop by for a halloween visit

there was a lot of action there ...
not so much in visitors
but in workers...
i sat and watched them dig the graves
...
it's a big machine with an auger..
the man with the machine
was in his 40's
gentle kind face..
broad shouldered ...
what a job!
i was fascinated ...
i could have sat there for hours watching him...

then there was a couple..
they looked in their 30's...
they were digging and placing the head stones...
they looked almost like a married couple
in their yard
digging and planting
annuals in the garden...
shovel..small hand tools...
again
i was fascinated ...

there was such a calm...
it didn't feel like an everyday routine
it was calm...
respectful...
peaceful..
loving..

just what i needed.

i snapped these photos with my phone while i sat..
watching...
munching candy corn
&
crying...

i know what a sight huh?

they turned out
calm
misty
&
peaceful

i'm hoping it's my dads spirit
hugging me

hoping.....

~ maggie ~

*** thank you ***

** thank you **

warm mismatched thick socks...
melted marshmallows in hot chocolate...
moss on tree trunks...
freckles on a dogs nose...
tall cold diet cokes with crushed ice...
hugs...
smiles from strangers...
surprise calls from friends...
walks through crimson colored leaves...
my sons laughter...
belief of friends & family...
hand knit blankets...
heart shaped rocks...
polka dot tights...
aromatherapy candles...
love from shy cats...
the feeling of wearing my dads socks...
the thought of my mom on her morning swim...
flying dreams...
children learning to somersault...
new paint brushes & colors...
foot prints in mud...

ok
now to the new bathroom...
i have been moonlighting as a
house flipper,
painter, contractor, carpet taker-outer, grunt cheap labor,
we added a master suite to my farmhouse..
hopefully this will help with resale in this terrible market..
and
will pay off!!
my brother is a contractor
i know
i'm very lucky!!
me.colman.herbie,ruby,lulu, & bing
are staying at his house during the remodel & sale
yep
again
i'm grateful & lucky!!

here are terrible shots of
a super fabulous new bathroom
in my farmhouse/cottage

i need a wide angle lens...
i don't think standing on the toilet
& photographing would even do it justice!!

i will post finished house photos
when we are done
:)
it is a beautiful home
just to big for me & colman
wish we could stay

i will try to stay in touch with you better ..
