I had a perfectly lovely day planned with a friend today, and was just sitting on the bed after painting my toenails early this morning when the phone rang. It was my Mom. She wanted to know if I had my car to day, and if so, could I come down and drive her to the clinic. I aksed why, and she said she had fallen and hurt her ankle really badly, and then she started to cry. My mother NEVER cries. Anyways, I quickly had to cancel my plans *sniff*, get dressed, pack an overnight bag, and head off down to Mom’s. Turns out it was just a bad sprain. I took her home, and made sure she had groceries, and everything else she needed, visited the afternoon, and then came home tonight.

I was hoping that my cancelled plans could just be delayed to tomorrow, but now my FRIEND has a family emergency, so it’s no go, and now my holidays are nearly finished. Pffffft!

Also today, Sarah was a wreck, because she had a day from hell too! Ended with her car breaking down, and having to be towed to our mechanic! AGGHHHH!

Jessica should not have been voted off AI tonight. Hmmmph!

Sarah turns 22 on Saturday! I was at quite a loss as to what to get her. She mentioned wanting Keith Ur*ban tickets casually, but I thought, “Yeah right kid, the concert is in 3 days.” So yesterday I started browsing around EBay, and I scored a pair of tickets, fifth row, on the floor!! They were ticketfast tickets, so I had them printed off, in my hands within 30 minutes of buying the tickets!! Gotta love technology. I didn’t even get that badly ripped off! I paid less than $25 extra for each one, so I’m thrilled!! But…. not as much as Sarah was! She can’t wait to tell Jay, as he’s the real true blue country fan, like me. Keith Urban is so HOT though, that even Sarah loves him! (She’s a punk rock fan).

In other news, we met Ben’s girlfriend, Jess last night. She’s a real sweetie. Very smiley, quick to laugh, and so cute. She’s a shortie. She comes up to Ben’s armpit (poor girl), so Ben likes to tease her about that. She lives in BC, and is here visiting her cousin (who dates Ben’s best friend). She goes back this weekend. Ben will be going to BC with the cousin and aunt, mid-May, for Jess’s graduation. He and I will have to go very soon to rent him a tux or a suit to wear. At school’s end, Jess will be moving here to live with her cousin. She plans on attending the same university as Sarah after working for one year.

I hopped in the car and took a little trip down memory lane today. Just getting out, cruising in my car, with Rascal Flatts blaring, the sun shining brightly, no downfilled jacket required!

It was WONDERFUL! I’d forgotten how much I Love my little run aways. I hadn’t gone out in months. I turn into a total hermit during the winter. I hadn’t been down to my Mom’s since Christmas and she only lives 45 minutes away, I just go no where except to work and back, and the odd family outing, or shopping excursion. Once Spring comes, I love to get out of the house and just spend time for me I hope I never lose sight again of how important that time is to me.

Tonight’s Hor*atio quote of stupid, “Don’t worry about it Mr. Coleman, I’ll be your memory!”

*gag*

I spent my first official day of Spring Break working like a crazy person. I hauled and swapped mattresses which required 50,000 trips from upstairs to the basement. BLECH! I also took the futon apart, and moved it upstairs. MUCHO lifting, dragging and grunting and groaning. Afterwards I washed all the bedding, blankets and other things, and did a bunch of cleaning. Followed by a shower, some lunch, and now I’m sitting like a blob! My back and elbows are KEELING me now, so I’m going to call it a day.

Supper is already cooking, hubby is going to a hockey game tonight, and Ben works, so it’s just Sarah and I.

I just finished watching “Grey’s Anatomy”. What a GREAT show! I loved it! Of course I tend to be a real sucker for medical shows. This was very good!

Your word is FUCK. You like to come across as rude
and rebellious, and often you do. You also are
intelligent and maybe surprisingly sensitive,
though God help anyone who said that in front
of your friends.

We just got home from Easter dinner at the in-laws. It was scrumptious as always! Turkey dinner with all the trimmings and key lime pie for desert.

Tomorrow we will go out to Mom’s for another big dinner. Ben misses both dinners because he has to work every evening this weekend. Also his girlfriend from BC is here for 2 weeks, so he’s a busy boy!

I hope all of you have a very Happy Easter!! Eat lots of chocolate bunnies, and enjoy the time spent with those you love!

A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became friends. Every day they would sit together to eat their lunch. They discovered that they both brought chicken sandwiches every day! This went on all through the fourth and fifth grades, until one day he noticed that her sandwich wasn’t a chicken sandwich. He said, “Hey, how come you’re not eating chicken, don’t you like it anymore?” She said “I love it but I have to stop eating it.” “Why?” he asked. She pointed to her lap and said “Cause I’m starting to grow little feathers down there!” “Let me see” he said. “Okay” and she pulled up her skirt. He looked and said, “That’s right. You are! Better not eat any more chicken.” He kept eating his chicken sandwiches until one day he brought peanut butter. He said to the little girl, “I have to stop eating chicken sandwiches, I’m starting to get feathers down there too!” She asked if she could look, so he pulled down his pants for her. She said “Oh, my God, it’s too late for you! You’ve already got the neck and the gizzards!!!
