The Crazee Chick's View of Life

Lyrics are very confusing.  Sometimes I think the artists are just making up their own words and when I'm singing along I either sing along with their made up words or I just mumble the parts out hoping no one notices that I don't have a clue. On the way to dance competition we were laughing about some of the things either we or our friends have taken 'lyrical license' with over the years. Here are a few of them: 1.  Doug and the Slugs: What they sang:  Who knows how to make love stay? What we heard:  Who goes out on Christmas Day? 2. Chyrstal Gayle: What they sang: Don't it make my brown eyes blue... What we heard: Donuts make my brown eyes blue. 3. Credence Clearwater Revival (?): What they sang:  There's a bad moon on the rise... What we heard: There's a bathroom on the right.. 4. Artists for Africa: What they sang:  Feeeed the wooorld, let them know it's Christmas time... What we heard (and this one's a real stretch):  Jeeesus...

The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. - Homer Simpson What are the three words guaranteed to humiliate men everywhere? 'Hold my purse.' Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places. - Henny Youngman Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died. The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory,

1. Finalize lay out for business cards        ~card looks amazing (despite the fact that my face is on it).  They should be ready in two weeks!  You're all getting one whether you want it or not.  I expect to see it displayed in a prominent place in your home such as the kitchen fridge, framed in the front entrance way, or lovingly placed on your pillow so you see it right before you go to bed.  Am I asking too much?  This is the picture that will be on my card.  Much thanks to the extremely talented, adorable, magical and miracle worker, Natalie, who is a photographer extraordinaire.   If you need a referral, I'd be happy to hook you up with her!  She's amazing with kids and families...and cheeky mouthed realtors. 2. Is license in yet?      ~Yes, by gumption, it is! I am a licensed realtor now!  It's been over a decade since I've been in the workforce--let me put this into perspective for y...

It's been awhile since I've done an installment of the whereabouts of my feet (a post I lovingly call, "Walk With Me). My feet have been around (pronounce that word with a hint of seduction and raise one eyebrow when you say it). They've been to the Olympics (4 times!!)  where they saw Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir take home the first GOLD ever for Canada in pairs ice dancing.  They rocked out in the corporate box to Hedley (who happen to be one of their favorite bands!) and to Great Big Sea where they made their way all the way from the nosebleed seats to front and centre on the floor (much thanks to Mo and her big hat!).  My feet have been ice skating on Robson Square--the hub of the downtown Olympic experience---and they cried the ugly cry while watching their daughter's feet dance at the opening ceremonies of the Paralympics (to a packed crowd of 60,000 people!  Yikes!!).  My feet lead a pretty charmed life. Here are my tootsies at the Pacific Colis...

Oh my gosh, my life is just so weird right now. For a million years I have been a mom, a homemaker, a chauffeur, a lover....all those 'homemaker-y' kinds of things. Now, in addition to all of that, I am also a 'career woman.' And it's soooo weird! Suddenly I am getting notaries who notarize stuff for me free of charge so that I'll refer them.  Suddenly I am at a photo shoot posing for pictures for a business card.  Suddenly I have a cell phone.  Suddenly that phone rings and it's the office telling me that I have a package waiting for me and when I get it and open it up it's a beautiful leather binder full of information.  Suddenly I have a 'designer' who is designing my business cards.  Suddenly I have a photocopy of my 'signage' that I need to approve and what's the freakiest thing about that is, is that it has MY name on it!  The real estate sign says MY NAME!  (I'm so flipped out over it that I photocopied the notice a...

Hi there! I see that I have lots of new readers from all over the world.  That's so exciting to me and I just wanted to say 'Hi!' to you and thank you for dropping in.  I hope you are finding the Crazee Chick entertaining!  Sometimes you'll find crazee stuff, sometimes just a favorite recipe, sometimes a view into my soul or my testimony, and sometimes you'll even be subject to pictures of nothing but my feet.  Yes, I like to take pictures of my feet in various locations and then blog about where my feet have been. I don't call this the Crazee Chick blog for nothin! So anyway, welcome, and I hope you enjoy your visit. I only have one request from you: Write Something!!! Say hi, hola, konichiwa, hei, howdy, bonjour...whatever! As you read through my posts it will become quite clear that not only am I a crazee chick but I'm also a needy one. I like comments. I need to be validated. I need to know that you like me. Sally Field --"You li...

Today while I was washing dishes, this gigantic crow flew up onto one of the fences and proceeded to lay a big dump right into my yard.  Nice. I thought about perspective. To me, that bird just crapped on my grass, but to him the world is a humongous toilet and so it's permissible to lay a turd, drop a drooly pooh, fart a lump, wherever the heck you please.  It made me think of the cartoonist, Gary Larson and his Far Side comic.  I loved his sense of humor.  In fact, I think I remember that he did a cartoon about the world from a bird's perspective.  It showed the top of people's heads and they all had bullseyes on them!  Hilarious!!  I wanted to find the cartoon for you but I didn't have the time to go through pages and pages of them but I did find some of my favorites that I thought might make you laugh. So.... enjoy a laugh on me. And Gary. That's all I have time for now, my friends, the kids are about to crash through the door fro...

Sorry I haven`t been blogging much. I`ve started a new career in real estate and just trying to get out of the blocks is taking a lot of my time and energy. I`m not ready to take any clients yet so that`s not keeping me busy.  What is though, is the time it takes to dish out the copious amounts of money I`ve had to shell out in the last week for extra training (x2), licensing fees, and membership fees. Ugh! and... Double Ugh!! My poor hubby`s wallet is so light now that we have to put one of those balloon ties on it to anchor it from floating out of his pocket!!

My kids.... at the Paralympic Opening Ceremonies!!! That's Kiki with the white pants, blue jacket and toque on the left!! That's Mo, on the left, without the toque, blue pants and green scarf!!! I'm so excited!!! Way to go girls!  What an amazing experience!!

(Ahem. Tap, tap, tap...) Ladies and gentlemen, friends and family, may I introduce you to the newest member of our family:   Isn't she beautiful? And she wasn't nearly as painful to bring into the world as my other bundles of joy. And, the best thing? I can fit her into my purse. Oh, how I love gadgets!

I'm going to tell you how to have a new wardrobe. 1. Avoid doing laundry. 2. Repeat step 1 for at least 3 weeks. 3. Wear clothes from your closet that you haven't worn in YEARS.             ~these may be clothes you don't particularly like, or have 'sizing' issues, or could even be ones you've forgotten about. 4. Continue to create new outfits out of the remainder of the unworn clothes at the bottom of your t-shirt drawer and from the back of your closet.                ~Are you getting compliments on your new duds yet?  Funny how that happens. 5. Do a mass blitz of laundy.  Bring those clothes that have filled up the bathtub, those clothes that are overflowing in your 3 laundry baskets, those clothes that are lying on the family room floor, to the laundry room and...pay close attention here...WASH them! 6.  Continue Step 5 u...

(sing this to the Beverly Hillbillies song.  If you don't know it, here's the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD22a4APsCg ) about a girl named Mo a cute little girl who got into the front row. When one day she wore a tutu on her head. She looked so awesome, that she knocked the people dead. "Hey, little girl, you look like a fan.... How'd you like to go out on the floor?" Well the first thing you know, Ole' Mo is jumping for glee as we make it down front to watch the Vict'ry ceremony Then Miss Kay, said, "On the TV is where you outta be." So we pushed her up front and we waited anxiously... Smile, we said. Act crazy. Jump around. Well, the next thing you know Ole Mo is on the screen Smiling away for all the world to see... And now my song ends 'cause I can't rhyme no mooooore, So I won't. ___________________________ What was she wearing that caused all this ruckus?  Well, it was her sister's white tutu, a headba...
