Today is my last day of freedom *sniff*.  Going back to work will be very good for me.  The routine makes life much easier!  The more time I have to sit around… the more I do!  Today I just went and bought groceries, washed my car and gassed it up, so I’m already for tomorrow, and the work week.

I have a 3 cheese Italian sausage penne pasta dish already to pop in the oven, and Sarah and Jay are here for dinner.  They’ve been at the farm since Christmas, and they leave for Maui in a week.

Ben and Jess were out here for lunch earlier, because Ben is working 16 hours today again.  Kid’s got to be out of his mind! He works 7 days/week, and often 16 hour days on the weekends!  And to think he was such a lazy-ass as a kid!   See - there’s always hope!

I’m out of here in about 10 minutes to go meet Sarah. We’re going to do some shopping, and then go for lunch. From there, we’re going over to visit my brother, because I’m a lousy sister, and haven’t even seen his new condo yet. Afterwards, I’ll come home and get cleaned up to go out for dinner with hubby, and then we’re off to the Elton John concert! Should be a good time!

Ben is loving both his new jobs. He moved out of Sarah’s place this weekend, and is now living with 3 of his buddies. One of them bought a house, and Ben’s going to live with them now. He’s real excited about that! Sarah’s already making plans for re-doing his old room! I’m going to help her paint his end of her condo.

Well I better scram, or I’m going to be late.

My Beautiful New 2005 Jeep Liberty

We had another blizzard here today, so the roads were a big old mess, but I got her home…. FILTHY! grrrrrr

We made a stop out at my old deceased car to empty it out, and then headed out to pick up my car. They had the mud flaps on and the touch ups done, and then we had to go up and sign the papers. The car loan is in MY name!! I’m 47 years old, and I’ve never had a LOAN! Consequently I have NO CREDIT! I really never knew that as we’ve had joint mortgages on 4 different houses, and have perfect credit rating. Unfortunately hubby is the only one that gets credit for our credit so to speak! I never knew that until I went with Sarah to apply for her student line of credit when she started University and was moving away. I couldn’t even co-sign for her!!! Hubby had to. I was mortified, and PISSED off!!! It’s largely due to the fact that my yearly income is not very much because we don’t work all year, and I only get paid for the days we work. That amounts to only 6 hours/day, about 9 months of the year. I joked to the finance guy, that Tim died and I had no credit, I could always get my kids to cosign! heh! So anyway, I’m finally a grown up!

I made a stop over at the mall on my way home to pick hubby up a few clothes that he will need for his business trip. Right now he’s in bed, feeling very sick with the flu, so he best make a speedy recovery, as he leaves on Monday for Ft. Mac until Saturday.

My Beautiful New 2005 Jeep Liberty

In keeping with our tradition of taking no time whatsoever to make up our minds about purchases, we headed out of town in a big-ass blizzard, to our favorite car dealer, and looked at the leaseback Libertys (or baby Jeeps as I prefer to call them), fell in love with this one!! Took the “twin” to it for a test drive (didn’t want to dirty “mine”) in the blizzard, LOVED it and the fact that I wasn’t sliding, skidding, and dragging ass around in the snow, and we came back and made the deal! It’s a beautiful pearl white (and I swore I’d never own ANOTHER white car, as we’ve had 4 over the years, along with 2 white houses, 2 white cats, and a white and black dog!) BUT this one is sooooooo purty with all the shiney chrome trim. The interior is grey and lovely, and I can’t wait to drive it out of the showroom! It only has 26,667 km on it, so it looks, and smells and feels like new!

I pick it up tomorrow afternoon, so whoo hoo! I’m beyond excited, and relieved to not have to drive that little shitcan car of mine anymore in another Canadian winter. Even if this winter was a very mild one.

Congratulations Snazzykat!

Sending good thoughts and prayers for Sammy’s surgery and recovery! Also for Mommy and Daddy’s recovery too!

Not too much happening around here this weekend. I don’t plan on leaving the house with my hillbilly self. I found out my dentist only works 1-4, M-Th. Obviously he’s made far TOO MUCH money!! So…. I have to wait to even PHONE until Monday, and no telling how long I’ll have to wait for an appointment!

All I know, is wood glue, or hot glue guns, do not stick a cap back on! Hmmmph!

Some blogging Moms that I know of are doing a great thing this year! They’re getting together to do the 3 Day Walk. I’m jealous, in that some of my co-workers are also entering a team, and I’d love to participate, but with my knees, I don’t want to risk having to quit, or drag the whole group down! I’m leaving the link to their training blog over on the sidebar! Do what you can to help!

3daymom.com » What We’re Doing

So here we are. 6 of us, plus a few more on the way. We’ve all committed to walking 60 miles over the course of three days - not to mention each of us has to raise at least $2200 to support our cause. We’ve all got different reasons for doing this walk - but we all have a common goal.

Join us in spirit for the journey!

Go say “Happy Birthday!!” to Gina! Feel free to tell her that I’m the brat that ratted her out!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeee

If you haven’t done so, please enter your birthdate! Thanks!

This is a car advertisement from Great Britain showing a car being driven along a country road. What’s messed these people up is that when they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. From what many inside sources say, is that the ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon.

The sound isn’t that great but if you turn up your speakers you can barely make out the film editor freaking out as to what is going on with the mist. Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and you’ll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then stopping only to turn and follow it along the road. Kind’a cool in a weird kind of way.
