I am grateful for...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay, so I was going to write a post about all the things that I am grateful for such as my husband,kids, parents, brothers, sisters in law, friends, and religion but it was getting too intense and I was unable to find an opportunity to inject my sarcasm and I am feeling an very strong need to be cheeky tonight, so here's my list:

I am thankful for:(in no particular order)

1. turkey, mashed potatoes, salad,yams, stuffing, pecan pie, ice cream.....
2. shoes with high heels that go clickety click on tiled surfaces
3. pretty jewelery with lots of shiny facets
4. smiles and hugs--they always brighten a day
5. beautiful songs such as 'You're amazing just the way you are.' by Bruno Mars because it helps to remind me that we, as women, are far too critical of ourselves and that our men only see our beauty and not all the flaws that we can't seem to overlook.
6. bedtime--nothing in the whole world feels better than crawling between those sheets at the end of the day and melting into my soft mattress.
7. technology--email, texting, Blackberry, laptops, blogs, facebook--I love it all!!
8. kisses--they convey so much--from the simple, 'Hey, I notice you' to the deeply intense, 'I love you with every inch of my being.'
9. the passing of time and the maturity that comes with growing older.
10. shoes. Need I say more?
11. shopping. Again...need I say more?
12. friends. Need I say more?
13. books. I can always use more.
14. childrens' laughter. There's never enough.
15. stupid jokes. Love to laugh until my belly hurts.
16. treadmills. Just got one today. Am looking forward to hanging my clothes on it in a couple of weeks when the novelty of working out everyday begins to wear off.
17. cupcakes.
18. the fact that I can eat more cupcakes now that I have a treadmill.
19. chocolate chip cookies. (again...I have a treadmill now...)
20. people like you that read this blog and put up with me and my crazee chick-ed-ness.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends, and to you, my friends south of the border, I will see you during Black Friday! Don't be afraid to wave and take me out to Starbucks when you see me! I'll be the one with the Auntie Anne's pretzels and the can of 'soda pop' in my hand...

oh...and probably a couple of shopping bags too!

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o

Happy 20th Anniversary to Us!!

Yeah, so the old man and I have been hitched for 20 years today.  Been together for 30 years (yes, we started dating when we were BABIES!) and yes, I have been with him for more than 1/2 of my life.  That's pretty crazy when you think of it...he's been there for EVERY major milestone of my life, and I for his.  It's pretty hard for either of us to pull a 'remember when' memory from a period of our lives in which the other person wasn't present.  Oh sure we went off and did things separately, like I lifeguarded for 2 summers in a little town in the Interior, and he lived in the Okanagan for about a year, and he climbed mountains with friends and did hikes that I wasn't part of,  but we were still a couple.   We started dating when I was 14 and he was 17--I had to get special permission from my parents to date him because I wasn't allowed until I was 16.  I remember the discussion quite vividly and my parents agreed to allow him to come over, and to take
