Apologize - Timbaland

This song has been stuck in my head ALL day....I'm actually really liking this song. So just to have it stuck in your head too...here's the lyrics!

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new - yeah yeah

I loved you with the fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late whoa.....

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off...

Nfld Pics - Part 6 (My Girls)

Kenda & Kayla...I absolutely ADORE these girls, my girls....they're the sisters I never had. I loved seeing them and spending time with them on our visit to The Rock.
I don't talk to them nearly as much as I would like/should...but it's an understanding the 3 of us just have that we know we'll always be there for each other. Not to mention, those childhood memories, that only us (and of course Blaine) will have, will "get", and can look back and laugh about. They spend as much time at my parents house now as they do they're own. And my parents are just an extension of their own parents, my beloved Uncle Shawn & Aunt Marg :)

This picture taken at the campfire after our wedding

They also went with me to Stanhope to visit with Nan & Pop Ball, the drive there was AWESOME! Right girlies?? LOL :)

I love this picture of Kenda....the strong, quiet one...literally. She doesn't say a whole lot, isn't really an emotional person (unlike Kayla and I who bawl over everything) but she's just so sweet, sincere, and then has that dry humour (inherited from Uncle Shawn) that make's her so funny! I don't think she even knew I was taking this picture of her.


Then this picture...where do I begin? We went to visit Kristen's family our last night in Nfld, and on the walk back to my parents house, this is what I see ahead of me. I've never seen two sisters be so close and get along the way Kenda & Kayla do. I can't even explain how I feel everytime I look at this shot...just love 'em so much! :)

New Moon AND Solar Eclipse on Sept. 11

This was sent to me by a friend who has a psychic friend, don't know if you believe in it but definitely interesting if nothing else :)


There's a new moon coming, and this month it's combined with the magic of a solar eclipse. This is only a partial eclipse, and will only be visible from South America, Antarctica and the South Atlantic. A solar eclipse takes place when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. A solar eclipse requires special equipment to watch safely, unlike the lunar eclipse we saw not too long ago, but it's still a good time for magical workings, even if you're not watching it.

If the moon represents the Mother, certainly the sun is a symbol of the Father. Strong with masculine energy, the sun was honored by many ancient cultures. Called Ra, Helios, Svarog, or any number of other names, the sun is the fire aspect in the sky. A solar eclipse signals great change and transition, so if there's something you want to see manifest, now is a good time for magical workings. Are you hoping to get a new job? Looking for an end to something unpleasant in your life? Trying to drop a bad habit? Get to work, then, because the dawn of a solar eclipse is a time of powerful energy!

Nfld Pics - Part 4 (The Ball Family)

Nfld Pics - Part 2 (Grandparents)

I love taking pictures of my grandparents...they're faces just have so much character and widsom. While home I tried to get shots of them all, but somehow missed Kristen's grandparents on his mom's side...I know...shame on me.
However...here's the rest:
Nan & Pop Bishop by the Cherry Tree
Nan Ball in the kitchen
Pop Ball at the dining table
Larry and Nan Brown, that's her boyfriend, but they've been common law for so long ...probably over 20 years I'm guessing, that he's more a husband than a boyfriend. He's a major Harley dude, actually owns a couple...seems really mean looking but when he speaks his voice is literally barely above a whisper & an all around gentle soul :)
