This made me laugh...

Something to think about ......

You know what would really PISS OFF the Democrats...

Bush should resign now.

Then Dick Cheney becomes President (that would really PISS OFF the liberals)!!!

Then he appoints Condoleeza Rice as VP.

Then Cheney resigns two weeks later and Condoleeza Rice, A Republican,
becomes the first BLACK President and the first WOMAN President !!!

this is not intended to anger or create a big debate I just found it funny...

thursday thirteen or not

Another week has past and once again we are here with Thursday's thoughts, things  and  confessions of a truly warped and convoluted mind.  OH what a tangled thought we weave when we practice to deceive.   Don't know why I just typed that but it just popped i my mind.

1.  Richard Simmons,  have you ever thought about him?  Is he really the person he portrays to the the public?  I wonder in private is he really 'sweating to the oldies'  or something more evil, more depraved with those old women who love him and worship him and maybe haven't had any you know what for you know how long???

2.I have been out of big green garbage bags for weeks.  I put them on my shopping list and still forget to pick them up.  What is with that?  What is keeping me from buying the bags?  I am thinking there must be a hidden meaning to this?

3.Went to the most awesome BC150 years celebration last night with the kids.  150 years ago yesterday our province was born and we went to the birthplace and enjoyed a night of free celebrations and entertainment.

4. Turkey what can I say,  I drove 30 miles to buy a .27 lb turkey from the states.  Here in Canada the cheapest a turkey will go on sale is .99 lb.  So now I am set for xmas.

5.The quilt........aww yes it appears I like to leave things to the last minute.  I am down to my last 3 blocks and still have to put the thing together. 

6.Facebook, whoever invented it sure has cut into my free time.  I get hooked on their senseless games and waste entirely to much time.  My current craze is Pet Society.

7.So as you know said eldest child failed his driven test last week.  So Monday we had to go back in and rewrite the learners.  $25 dollars later he is set for another 2 years of a class 'L'
In another week he can retake his roadtest at the cost of $35 and if he passes pay an additional I believe $50.  and have a class 'N' license.   They sure don't make it cheap on the young people.

8.While walking home this morning (after bringing nevy to school) not staying out all night.   A crow almost dropped a walnut on my head.  I wonder if he was wanting me to crack it open for him so I stepped on it.  I even kicked the stuff into the gutter so he wouldn't get hit by a car eating it.

9.Women problems,  it seems I am
peri-menopausal.   I don't like that sound of that, it makes me sound old.  I don't want to be old,  I want to be young forever.

10.Cooking with pears.  For all you three blog readers of mine,  I highly recommend adding pears instead of oil for all your baking needs.  The pears add the moisture and you can cut back on the sugar too.

11.Survivor is on tonite and I am loving it.  Now if only they vote Randy off I will be on a total winning streak.

12.On a more somber note.  I have had three deaths this past week.  One a father of one of Kaikoa's friends died of cancer at the age of 44.  He was diagnose and dead within 5 days.  He leaves behind a wife and 3 kids.   Second an old boyfriend of a good friend of mine and someone hubby went to school with committed suicide.  He shot himself in front of another friend of mine.  I feel bad for Duke to have had to witness something like that.  He was 48, much young.  The third was a polar bear that I grew up with in a zoo.  Well I didn't grow up in the zoo but visited Debby for years.  She was put to rest at 42 years old which I heard is pretty long in polar bear years.

13. Well I guess I did make it to 13 shows that I can talk the talk and blog the blog.

cheerio my little chick-a-dees

Thursday Thirteen

Well you know the drill just an assortment of happenings and ponderings....

1.  It is unbelievably windy out right now.  The front door is shaking like there is someone banging on it.  November is our traditional month for storms.  Strange part is it is really warm out,  yesterday we tied the record for warmth at 14 C.  Just hoping we don't lose our power.

2.Today is 'World Kindness Day'   so for my part I am going to say you all look just great...

3.Said oldest son goes today for his road test.  Lets all cross everything we can that he passes.  PLEASE  PLEASE PLEASE PASS HIM

4.I still haven't done any sewing on the quilt.  I think I like to work under pressure.  At least I moved the sewing machine back on to the table.

5.Been looking for flights to Thailand in the new year and am pleasantly surprised how reasonable they are.

6.The windshield wipers quit working on the van last week then poof they started working again.  Not sure what to do,  definitely don't want that to happen again but don't want to pay for something that is working.

7.Been looking at Em's pictures and am getting inspired to change my vacation itinerary's to include more the hot white sandy beaches.

8.Nevada came home yesterday with the only perfect score in her class on her math test.  YOU GO GIRL.   two thumbs up for Nevy.

9.Harry's sciatic nerve is bothering him again.  He has been hobbling around the house groaning in pain.  I kind of want to shove a sock in his mouth so I don't have to listen.  I guess that doesn't go well with number 2.

10.My mom's husband failed his memory test at the doctor.  Now they might take his license.  I know that will be a big blow for him.  I know it isn't' safe for some elderly people to be driving but it must just feel awful for them to lose their Independence.

11.Survivor is on tonite.  I really like how this season is going.  Lots of twists and turns and everyone is voting the way I would like them to.

12.This past weekend Nevada and I went to a Christmas craft fair.  One lady for some reason was selling her old cookbooks and I managed to pick up 3 very old in awesome shape cookbooks.  I like them just to read. Best part is I only paid $7  for all three.  Anyone need a recipe for Babka's?

13.  Well here we are again at the end.  I hope I haven't wasted too much of your valuable time.  Remember be kind keep that in mind..

13.

Cleaning Nevy's room

Well it was that time again to do a major clean out of Nevada's room.  These bags are all the garbage she had hoarded in there, we even found an empty box of chocolates from last Xmas.  She had been stuffing and hiding things when I told her to clean her room so it appeared clean from a casual glance. 
 This second picture is the stuff we are giving away to the thrift store.  It is full of toys and stuffies.  We haven't even began yet on her clothes.
It was great de-cluttering.  I told her we needed to make room for all the new stuff she would get for Xmas.  She actually wanted to get rid of stuff that I would have preferred to keep.  She knew the story of everything and where she got it or who gave it to her.   We even moved her furniture around and it looks  much roomier.   I love getting big jobs like this done.

Happy Birthday Blog


Happy Birthday to Em for tomorrow.   I know a lot of you think she is fudging on the actual number of years she is celebrating.  But, I am here to assure you that she hasn't quite reached the big milestone yet!  So in honour of this most auspicious occasion I am holding a cy-ber birthday party.
I will be in charge of the Jello shots.  Everyone attending can bring what they like.  There will be free cab rides home after the party so no need to hold back.
