• My eyebrows are great, thank-you for asking. I now get them done every 6 weeks or so and couldn't be happier. Currently however I have a hideous pimple just right of the middle up there so not too terribly attractive.
• I PROMISE I will let the news out for those of you who don't know later today, no later than tomorrow. But right now I have to take Michael to sportball and we're walking.

I need a life

I don't know if it's ok to say it or not. So, I guess for now I still won't.
I need a life.
I have spent my day on Facebook waiting for people to play their turns at scrabble.
I am uninspired by the day to day.
Deep thoughts are rolling around but they aren't finding their way out in an articulate way.

taadaaa!

When was the last time I blogged? Oops! I have lots of great ideas and what seems like zero blog-time because I am too busy chatting on the phone or playing scrabulous on FB. There are tonnes of other things I am busy with I'm just not ready to talk about them here. Quick things before I get carried away are:

• Tupperware party here on May 3 at 2pm... you should come... or order something or get a replacement piece they do have a lifetime warranty and it's totally worth it to go with a name you can trust.
• Michael is severely allergic to cats, dogs and Horses. But the doctor found no food sensitivities even though I am sure he has some. He is on 2 anti-histamines, eye drops and special skin cream ($80 prescription! Thank god for extended coverage). In 10 days or so he should be all better. The eye drops are not allergy related, he has the pinkeye again! I think we need to toughen up our hand washing procedures/requirements.
• I had a super deluxe pedicure last night and it was great! (I also got my eyebrows done so now I can see! LOL)
• BIG HUGE things to come including but not limited to ....Chris and I turning 30 and G turning 5.

This is all I have time for...TTFN

Only 1 but, better late than never?

1. Why do the dead people need to be safe after they are dead, they are just hard bones and can't get hurt? (This came up on explanation of a cemetery we drove by)

I have now completely forgotten the rest of his questions as I am still trying ot explain why my grandpas and grandma need to be safe in wooden boxes in the ground. So that I know where to find them if I am missing them, I guess, I don't really know.

There is also much more for me to blog about but I never get the chance for various reasons that I will one day blog about.

To keep this space occupied...

The Solar system. Complete without Pluto... they just don't sell it... Also they glow in the dark.

Kayla, Gabriel, Michael and Austin watching a movie in our room so that we could hang-out in the living room. Yes, there is a TV in my room but it is ancient, only plays VHS and rarely gets used...Chris and I like to do bedroom things in the bedroom more than TV if you know what I mean. ;) (having said that you should take this opportunity to notice the amount of storage in our room and the fact that we never did put up a nice curtain so that we didn't have to see it)

Michael and his good friend Matteo sitting under the desk together enjoying a cookie. They were side by side until I whipped out the camera.

Cheese

Where to begin???

Let me start off by saying that I have been planning posts and never getting to them for some time now and this one is just the easiest for em to spit out now that I do have time. This one is not about what is going on that I can't talk about.

One week ago today my mother was here (surprise surprise) and her phone rang, and she missed it (surprise surprise). After she checked the caller ID she decided to use the land line here to return the call. It was Mrs. L. ; She is a lady that does recruiting fro market research companies for focus groups and other types of paid surveys. I have no idea how she got this job or how many people she must know in order to be effective at 'work'. She was looking for someone to do a focus group, mom didn't fit the age requirement and decided to pass the phone to me.

The last time I 'worked' for Mrs.L. Gabriel couldn't have been more than a few months old and it was a survey about Captain Morgans Spiced Rum, I was paid about $30/$50, if I recall correctly.

Upon speaking to Mrs.L. it became apparent that I was exactly who 'they' were looking for, for Monday evening in Downtown for $75 for 2 hours of my time. I said yes and made the arrangements with Chris and mother to look after the kids. Mrs. L told me there would be a bit of home-work but that it could be worth an additional $25 if it was done well.

I did the homework on Sunday night. I went to town on Monday. I sat in a room with 5 other ladies and one facilitator and we talked about cheese. Specifically what it means to me and how I feel about it. Which is what my homework was... a collage of my feelings/thoughts about cheese.

Now if you know me at all you will know that I love cheese, there really isn't anything that cheese can do wrong in this world. I love all cheeses and I think they love me. If I were on your desert island practicality aside with only 2 things they would be cheese and...(wine?)

I had a great time. I won the $25. I did my homework myself... which is the part I am most proud of....

Guess how cheese makes me feel and what it means to me? I think it's perfectly clear.
