New Blog

Hey not only do I have this blog, but I also started a scrapbooking blog as well...I love these things...they are so fun!

Ahhhhhh Wednesday...middle of the workweek...Although it's not my favorite day of the week, it comes close. I would have to say that Sunday is my favorite day...I think it's because I never seem to feel rushed to go somewhere, I can sleep in until at least 9am and I can do whatever I want to! And besides, Friday or Saturday would be too obvious! I am not THAT predictable!

Vanity Kills

It's amazing to me that people value their hairdo over their brain or even their life. Nothing against the actress who just lost her life, as it is very sad and I feel for her family at this time...but to refuse to wear a helmet when you are participating in a sport that you've never done or don't do very often is tempting fate at the very least. But when you are a mother with young kids, or even not so young children, it is a little bit selfish. Because of her fatal decision to not wear a helmet her two boys no longer have a mother and her husband, a wife. We as a society have to realize that although it seems that we are alone in the world sometimes, our actions don't just effect us anymore...they have a ripple effect that can possibly touch the world...as we have seen in this and several other cases.

I know there are those of you out there that say "We are adults and we can chose whether or not to wear a helmet if we want to." Yes, you can, but unfortunately we taxpayers here in Canada don't get the choice whether we want to pay to keep you on life support or not!

I know one can never predict when they are going to leave this earth helmet or not...at least you can help prevent a fatal injury...and we all know that kids do as we do more than what we say!

I welcome your views on this matter.

TGIF!

So Friday the 13th again...how lucky are we? Two back to back.

How have they been for you? They have been interesting for me...the gremlins have definately shown themselves to me. Every computerized device in the office seems to go even more wonky on those days...weird.

Well, just a few more minutes and I can leave the gremlins to their own devices!

Have fun and a happy Friday the 13th...go watch a horror movie...if that's your thang!

If you are sick of Winter...raise your hand!

Okay, maybe check if there are people around first so you don't look like a nut...too late for me, however. Ha LOL!

Well, Edmonton gave Winterpeg a run for its money this weekend! Me and hubby and Bailey hibernated like black bears Yesterday and it felt great! Don't feel the effects of springing the clocks ahead at all...okay, try not to kill me yet.

I do hope that Spring will show itself soon. Although the winter really has not been that bad overall, I am so ready for it to be over...time to say hello to the grass and sunshine of Spring...come out, come out wherever you are!

RSP Season

Phew! Another one gone and over! As someone who has to work the RSP season, I thank those that got theirs done before the deadline...those that left it 'til last minute...tsk tsk tsk!

Oh well, now that it's over I can finally regain some of my sanity, unfortunately some is lost to me forever after each RSP period, more some years than others and boy did this year take some!

Hope you all survive this crazy market, and here's to a more profitable year for 2009!
