Vlogventure: Campout Indoors Night Talk And Falling Asleep While Filming...


Hi guys. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Well I guess we're in the middle of the week so it's a little late to ask that. I'm a little late in sharing this Vlog that I posted a few days ago. But it's worth the wait after a couple of failed attempts at filming in the wee hours of the morning. To find out why you have to watch the video of course. So if you need a diversion or are just plain bored, check out a couple days worth of vlogs below.

Walking Way Overrated: VlogVenture: Why Am I Still Awake at 430AM. Life Talk. Van Gogh To Sure Hope

 


It's another camp out night, indoors (where I sleep in my power tilt wheelchair).and it's already 4:30 in the morning. Craig passed out on his futon over an hour and a half ago and as usual, my artistic brain seems to kick in if I don't get to bed fast enough. Decided to go outside in this beautiful weather and make a video yapping about a few Life things. Everything from Vincent van Gogh to current events in our lives. I am working on a new video that I'm excited about because my dad has let me take over promoting his artwork ina whole new special way. It's 18 I plan on posting it by the end of the day.

VlogVenture Raw- Uncut. Unedited. Marriage Sitting Down And "I Can't Walk?!"

 

Happy Saturday everyone. Join us as we share life experiences as they relate specifically to life and marriage with a disability. Including some of my childhood ones that stand out well.

In no way are we mocking those who have given us these adventures. Just trying to make light of what can sometimes be a challenge.

As well, maybe we will answer a question or two regarding political correctness. What words, if any should we use when addressing someone like us? Or does it even matter? All based on our own opinion of course!

Vlog. ELVIS, Walk With Us @ 230am And Finally The Answer About The Stink!


 It's an indoor campout night and we splurged on the new Elvis Movie. I figure for $30 to purchase this masterpiece, it works out the same as attending it at the local theatre. Since the movie was over two and a half hours long, by the time we were done, it was already late. That prompted me begging Craig to go for a walk at 2ish in the morning.

What Stinks, Marriage Or The Fridge?

In a previous shimmer watercolour video, I was mumbling about telling Craig how bad the refrigerator stunk for a week. Responding with how he can't smell it or its the garbage. But it never was quite the source. Until The other day when he finally decided to clean the fridge or I am moving out until I can breath! Ha ha. So I made a video but unfortunately a bunch of files ended up corrupted. So disappointed because we had physical evidence. So to substitute for the missing video, we covered what he found in this vlog!

WORLDS COLLIDE: Part 1- Vlogventure. My Shimmery Handmade Water Colours. ART Stuff And Marriage Stinks?


Another gorgeous day outside. Perfect time for me to Basque outside and breathe in the fresh air, letting the sun's rays show off my new shimmery handmade watercolours.  I've already posted some videos about how to create these watercolour paints. but after recently trying to purchase a set from amazon that ended up not working out, the notice claimed that they were undeliverable. It all worked out how it was meant to so I  i decided i would just continue making my own.

Another big lesson learned

 I also learned that you should watch reviews about items like paint and art supplies before buying them online. So I'm glad it worked out that the product never arrived anyway. Because the day before they were supposed to arrive I was watching other artists on YouTube swatch out and test these shimmer paints and I was quite disappointed at what I saw. I remember saying, oh man my paints are far more pigmented, not worth $55. So I actually ordered up some more chameleon pigment powders to make more paints. My husband keeps telling me to just paint already.

 I don't know about you but, it feels like I need to have everything in place and organize just right, and then it means I'll be able to create some great artwork. So far what I've learned in my decades of existence, no matter how organized or how many variations of art supplies I may have, my artwork doesn't get any better. What does make artwork get better, the act of actually doing it. Not worrying about how good you are at it or whether or not you have the perfect brand or colour or paint brush.

But that's not all, I haven't been pleading with my husband all week about this increasingly horrid stench "not" coming from our refrigerator. And yes, if I could take care of it myself, I would happily do so but unfortunately my arms and overall body doesn't like to cooperate with me. Which means my dear husband, has a lot of responsibilities. He is kind of like my arms and legs and I am the nose, eyes,… Well basically the grey matter part. Trying to help out by pointing out things that need to be done or taken care of. I'm not the greatest at it but it helps me to feel a teeny bit useful. However, what happens when he doesn't believe you or has a nose that doesn't quite pick up the same sense you do. 😊If you're married or in a special relationship, you may be able to relate to this. You know, Where one loved one says one thing about something and the other loved one does not agree at all. Usually resulting in some form of ongoing debate or an all out fight.  😏 nothing more frustrating than trying to get someone to see or hear what you see or hear or in this case smell and they insist you're wrong. Definitely one of those moments that result in some humourous content for your YouTube or blog channel.

This video is just an intro into our stinky fridge debate. It's called Worlds collide because when two or more of our blog subjects collide, for instance heartfully creating is intended to be a creativity art blog with tutorials and anything art related. Where as our other Vlog/blog Walking Way Overrated,  primarily focuses  on anything to do with our unique married life as a couple living with physical disabilities. Sometimes we just can't keep the topics completely separated so today is one of those days,  I get to share the beautiful colours from my DIY Shimmery watercolours and then the other subject, our stinky fridge! Worlds Collided. 







A Sad Shock During Our Supper...

Imagine peacefully eating your dinner and you see a passing vehicle fly by in your pereferral vision. Along with an instantaneous house vibrating thud, as soon as the car's tail passes our van parked in our driveway. My husband and I look at eachother surprised. My instant reaction was oh know some kind of impact. Craig mentioned our Gian Tough Garbage can. Realizing how still the air was, we both flew out our rickety screen door. 
Sadly, there were about five people across from our house and the neighbour's, A shorter man in a red t-shirt was upset, yelling at the slicked backyounger tall man, dressed in  black simple garb.  Obviously the visibly upset man in red had been driving with his very upset  wife or mother. As she was crying, almost in hysterics at one point. Seeing the air bags all inflated spilled out filling the front of their vehicle and the extremely crumpled up drivers side, her tears and hi anger made perfect sense. It was obvious that the young man, whose car I caught in peripheral had been driving dangerously fast swerving toward oncoming traffic enough to have basically a head on collision.

My first instinct was to call 911, but initially I assumed the people involved and those near by must have   phoned already. But a rush in my head said, just call 911 right now. So I ran inside and dialled them. Telling the kind female voice about the accident in front of our house. What was so strange was after she asked if it looked like all bodies were out of the vehicle, I said I think so but suddenly My voice broke and tears started pouring down my cheeks. unable to  to talk with the operator.  Unable to communicate clearly, she asked me if I was alright. (Obviously she was confused because I was not in the accident). Asking what was wrong, I couldn't answer without breaking down more. I think she figure it out and within minutes the firetruck, and ambulance arrived. A tad embarrassed, I just felt the sadness and need to pray for those involved.

Voyeurism?
As a couple other neighbours came out to observe the scene in front of our house, I struggled with feeling like one of those staring at bad things kind of folks. Which was why It took so long to get our video phone to vlog about what happened. Wanting to respect people's privacy, I couldn't  film everyone including our heroes, so that's why it's just pass by and mostly my mug showing!

After living here for nineteen years, I have been home for about 3-4 two car crashes. Not ones I saw happen, just heard a horrific sound to discover the scene. This was the closest to seeing  the event. All because once again someone was was going way to fast or ignoring a stop sign. I confess something like this definitely activates  adrenaline and easy stirs up emotions. Thank You Lord, it appears that no one was severely hurt.
