No Nose Nuggets!

Yes, that is what I told them today at school. They did not listen as I hoped they would and I sincerely hope that they will not be the "gross" kids at school.

Three years ago today I got up quite early and in quite a lot of pain later, had two beautiful baby girls. Boy, reflecting on that . . .I really didn't know what I was in for! It's certainly been a learning curve for me and them. One thing is certain though, my life would be radically different without them.

Today, they did me proud at their first day of school. They minded their manners to the best of their abilities. For the most part they attempted to share. They didn't wail as much as I thought they would when we had to leave, but they still wailed.

I made all their favourite treats for them, and they're watching an inordinate amount of cartoons today. Three down, a lifetime to go!

Happy Birthday to my beloved Girls!! xoxo

How To Break Up in 64 Easy Steps

Surprisingly, quite realistic!

Lost Love

Yes, my beloved Lost is on again. I know that not everyone is into Lost. Hell, I wasn't into it until the second season but once I was, I got hooked.
I think quite honestly it's because I'm a sci-fi fan and frankly, there's nothing else out there that is like Lost. At least nothing new. . .there are only so many Star Trek:TNG reruns I can watch. There was a time when tons of shows like these were on and now, hardly any. The networks needed to make room for such winners as The Hills, Survivor and Big Brother I guess. In the meantime, I will tune in LOST and hope that the networks start catering to geekdom once again.

Mister (President) Obama

Well, I've just finished watching the inauguration on the CNN/Facebook feed. Very impressed.

I loved President Obama's speech, calling on what I felt, not just Americans, but on everyone to assume responsibility. The man is most definitely the leader of a younger generation. Now the REAL work begins.

I pray that it really WILL be a better day, especially for the future of my kids and of those next generations to come. Good Luck Mr. (President) Obama!

New Honda!

Surprisingly it looks like the picture I have in my previous post. So Flavio couldn't settle on just getting the same thing at a reasonable price. Nope, had to fight me about getting an upgrade when we're already stretched to the limit. So the new one has heated seats, heated mirrors, all controls by the wheel (actually a good feature for a scaredy-scared like me) and some other bells and whistles. The main argument he used was that our winter tires wouldn't fit on any other car so I said okay. After all the tires were $1100 and I didn't want to lose that money. Lo and behold he calls me up and says "Ummm, the tires don't fit so we need to sell ours and get new ones." I must have turned thirty shades of red in an instant! Needless to say that he's in the doghouse after getting a earful from me. I still like the new car though, leather is easier to clean :)

Finito!

Well, the last of my visits are done. Some surprises there. People weren't as jerky to me as I thought they would be. Well, except one. . hey, I invited you. . .not your dog!

So ends 2008. Not bad, was excited about Obama. Got my first real house!! Very happy about that. Worked out more issues, nothing major but it definitely helps to WORK IT OUT!

Incurred a lot of debt which is a big minus AND lost my car which is also a big minus but hopefully on my way to fixing all of that. Other than that. . .not bad, not bad at all! 2009 here I comes! :)

Do it at your office today!
