The Crazee Chick's View of Life

Get back to work! You have a very limited time to rock a bikini....now get on that treadmill, start eating right and tighten up that butt!!

Slowed danced with the Hubby tonight. It's been a long time since we've done that... Felt so good to be cuddled in his arms but I have to admit that I think we're both shorter then when we did this in high school. And greyer. And saggy-er. And one of us has a bigger butt.....

Shin: Device for finding furniture in the dark. Anonymous Knees: I drive with my knees. Otherwise, how can I put on my lipstick and talk on my phone? Sharon Stone Brain: The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. Robert Frost Fingers : Happiness never lays its finger on its pulse. Adam Smith Ankle: Did someone sew a baseball under my skin or is that my ankle? Kiki After 6 hours in the ER, a one minute discussion with the doctor, and 20 minutes in the cast clinic, Kiki came home with a pair of crutches and this:   Not feeling entirely confident about the one minute consultation she had with the doctor, I decided to take her to Children's Hospital a couple of days later for a second opinion. After a 20 minute wait, a 25 minute consultation with the doctor, and zero minutes in the cast clinic we came out with a similar diagnosis: Grade 1 fracture on the growth pla...

How is it possible that you are 12 years old already? Wasn't it just yesterday that I ran across the street to my neighbors house clutching a positive pregnancy test  to show her for confirmation? Wasn't it just yesterday that you took me from 5cm to 10cm in 10 minutes? Wasn't it just yesterday that you lay on the baby bassinet all calm, slightly purple, sucking your fingers and having a worried doctor examine your heart and lung sounds? Wasn't it just yesterday that the operating staff wheeled you down the hallway in your little onsie, knitted green hat and a soother in your mouth to fix your heart? Wasn't it just yesterday that the surgeons kept sending out a messenger to tell us that they had run into complications and that you were going to die? No, it wasn't. In fact, it was 12 years ago!! How happy I am to see your smile everyday. It reminds me of the miracle that you are. How I love your strong and independent nature.  It reminds me tha...

Last Friday night... was an amazing night for Mo and a bunch of her friends! No, they didn't dance on tabletops. No, they didn't go streaking in the park or skinny dipping in the pool. And no, they didn't break the law. Thank goodness. Nope, these lucky girls got to dance in the halftime show of the BC Lions game at the first game back in the newly re-opened BC Place! Sarah McLachlan singing the national anthem Dancing to "Raise the Roof" Dance has brought her so many amazing experiences! She's danced in a Christmas Parade, at the Paralympics Opening Ceremonies, at Disneyland, and now this. Next month she also gets to be in the Grey Cup parade and in the halftime show again!   In July both Mo and Kiki will be travelling with their dance teams to compete in Vegas!  I wonder if these kids realize how lucky they are?

 My dear daddy sent me this email and normally these kinds of things don't really affect me. But this one did. And I had to share. THINK There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She Hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always There for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see The world, I will marry you.' One day,   Someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages Came off, she was able to see everything, including her Boyfriend. He asked her Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The Girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The Sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected That. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life Led her to refuse to marry him. Her Boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her Saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before They were yours, they were mine.' ...
