betcha she had the same bride issues we had... ;)

ta da.....they're all married up...

Got me thinking.... Kate Middleton still must have had those usual "bride" issues...
Who was gonna help her go to the bathroom???   :)
Can't sit once you're dressed...you might wrinkle the dress!!!
Heels, flats, running shoes...and yep some have even done slippers!  Flats btw

And...what do you think was in her purse??? 
kleenex (yes, probably a handkerchief, since she's a princess and all), nail polish, lipstick, safety pin, tide pen...just in case....heehee

Yes...they're Prince and Princess...but they're also just a boy and a girl who want to spend the rest of their lives together.  Happy day for them.  :)

deal or no deal? ... ALWAYS a deal

ok...I know I am not the only girl on this planet who gets a rush from a great deal....but seriously....

Got an email from a clothing store website that their clearance was a further 30% off....  (oh..btw...if you aren't on the email lists of your favourite stores you are sssoooo missing out.)  Wow did I just sound wwwwaaayyyy girlie there.  Still no pink in my closet...just to clarify.   Back on topic.....  then I remembered I'd received a coupon card in the mail for 40% off....  Don't get ahead of me here... :)     read the fine print....woo hoo...goin' shoppin'!!!!!

Love online shopping...probably because I have 2 little people which keep me from the stores more than I'd like.  Yes..I take them sometimes....but ladies we have all been there.... 

Also...I like to be different...  Yes I'm like thousands with my Blackberry...but I dress her up...and thanks to ebay...it only costs about 5 bucks a coat!  :)

You can get a workout shopping....really...  That's what I tell myself anyway! ;)

UFC..more hand holding than fighting

So....UFC in Toronto this weekend...

Can I be the only one who thinks this is funny....??? 
You know this is just grown men, partnered, in some of sort of groping, grabbing, smooshing thing.  I can't even find the words to describe it.....sport is not one of them.  :)

To be fair...no I haven't gone to a match....and have watched only little on TV.
Admittedly it makes me giggle.....yep...giggle. 

A sport requires skill....grabbing, groaning, and grunting with brute strength...UFC doesn't really require the skill of say basketball, hockey, golf....you get me?  :)

Again...to be fair....
two things I love.....   running..... skill required?  none  :)
                               nascar (aka driving around a circle for a few hours).... 
                                         bit more skill required....  lots more
                                         money required!!! 

Would I go to a match...maybe...they're licensed events right??!! ;)

oh to be 19 again...or not.

Princess Diana (yep...finally had to go the route of the Royal wedding) was just 19 when she married Prince Charles.....  
Kate Middleton is 29.  (yes...I told her age....had too...sorry Kate :(  )

If I had of married when I was 19....well.....it's safe to say I would have ended up divorced too!  Phew....  There's one ball dodged....  Now...maybe if he'd had a crown and castle to offer the deal wouldn't have been sssooo bad.  :)

Now your turn.....think back to 19....who would you be living with.......
Go search him on Facebook...for a glimpse of what could have been....

and....
now stop laughing......  ;)  
(maybe buy a lottery ticket if you're feeling lucky!!)

He called her FAT!!!

Seriously...he called her FAT!!!! 

Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson are shacking up K, and he has apparently told her she needs to lose weight. :o  Here's a question.....has he looked in the mirror lately?  Checked his birth certificate?  She's 26....almost half his age....talk about not getting it.  There are sssooo many other guys better than him! 

OK...there is a recent pic that shows a bit of a belly, but her rep says it was a bad shirt. Bad shirt or not, isn't there a "thick or thin" line in wedding vows?  ok...maybe not...hey, maybe there should be?!  :)

Who wants to kick Sean Penn's butt with me?! Seriously.  ;)

yes I do...I just don't want to admit it

How good of a mood are in you in????  Seriously...it's a short work week....as in...today is pretty much Tuesday.  Tomorrow..already the middle of the week!  Is it sad I am this excited?  Perhaps.  But some people get excited to see Celine Dion...that's sad.  :)

Oh...and I feel I will make a confession today...Easter coming up and all...
I have a love for the song...stressing the song here...
"I Know You Want Me"  Enrique Iglesias
shock and awe perhaps????
Yep...I wanted to hate it...solely cause it's that "I never do my shirt up" guy.  hhmmf
Also...it's not like he was cool the first time he hit the charts.  Just sayin'

Now that I've said that...here's this...
Just because you make your band name an acronym does not allow you to move up on the cool metre.  (yes..metre..Canadian me) 
Seriously....  NKOTBSB tour....who are you kidding?  You will always be the voice cracking, zit popping, New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys. (But Kara, you ask, you must sing their songs if you like Enrique?  yes...me blushing...  See why it's sssooo bad to love Enrique's song...see!!!)


Oh how everything old is new again...  Oprah got it right...40 IS the new 30.  :)

racy? really?

OK...I am a car chic.  I can't be the only girl out there who is....
Here's my gripe today...

A UofW engineering student sports a bikini and poses with a car she helped build, they had planned to compete in SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)competitions.  Once faculty discovered the photos (which had been done, btw, in hopes of getting chosen for a charity calender) they suspended her, and eventually the whole team.  Now they're out of an upcoming race in Michigan.  And a couple of major sponsors are ticked with the school.

Us ladies know if we put on a bikini and pose for a pic in front of a car guys (and some gals) will be looking at more than the car's headlights. 

Obviously she was comfortable with it, so I say go for it!

To women who want to ramble about it being sexist....please.....

Don't tell me everytime you leave the house you look like a slob....cause you don't.  Who are you dressing to impress?  You and I both know if we really didn't care about what other people thought we'd sport sweats and slick hair more days than not.

I have seen the picture, and think all this drama around it is beyond unnecessary.  It's not our place to point a finger.  She's okay with it, it's not pornographic, so relax.  Is she showing anything more than the swim team would?  Probably not. 

weird interview questions

Why are manhole covers round? 
How would you answer that in a job interview...yep....job interview...
Just saw an article on weird interview questions....which employers apparently started to ask with the dot com boom when they were trying to gage the creativity of prospective employees.

If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
Me: Depends on the day.  But give me a few more years and cougar may be my answer.  :)
You know you thought of an answer right away...  Funny?  Throw it out to a friend.  Might give you some insight into their brain....unless of course you don't want to dig too deep. :)

How 'bout.....   If you won the lottery, would you still work?
Me:  1 million, yes.  11 million, no.
Yes...I've thought about it, have dreamed about it.....you know you have too!

(btw....manhole covers are round because it's impossible to drop the lid through a smaller hole...so say google answers anyway)

fat, skinny jeans, and men

OK ladies somethin' we battle with...men don't. There's a study showing us Moms do carry more weight than our single lady friends.....BUT....Dads not so much. Single, married, or married with kids....guys' weight stays the same!

Aaannnddd they just naturally burn more calories, even sitting!!!

So I ask you this.....why were skinny jeans designed for us.....not them!!!???Backwards I say! ;)

And...men just have that tiny little area to shave....and we...well....let's just say it's not a tiny job!  :)

more on me....

Weird....weird to write about myself....
But my baggage is part of who I am.....may explain me in a way.

Today....I am a Mom (ya...I put that before wife...kinda sad...but reality these days....if I'm being totally honest...which is what I vow to do here...)  Two boys...Chase is 5, Nolan 2.  I am a wife, 8 years in.  Cliff, my husband.  Never really called him my fiance...find that word too frou-frou (had to look up how to spell that..said it lots...spelt it...not so much).  Married Cliff, my shoulders dropped, he's got my back.  Now somebody out there always has my back.  Worth the 17-grand the wedding cost???...sure. :)

Don't want to turn this into an Oprah show....so done that for now...

Got a new tattoo this weekend.  (see...if you read into that you're going "new" tattoo...she has others???)  Hope...  that word...  Inked on the inside of my right wrist (Charlie stole my placement idea...damn him..going and making it trendy.)  I put it there for me.  It's to remind me to have hope.  I am a cup half empty girl, so this is a reminder I do need daily.  Now I always have Hope.  It's capitalized for a reason.  One I will share another day.

blog virgin

ok...new to the blog world....not new to blah blah blahing though!

Will figure things out...throw up pictures....and share....  cause it's nice to share.  :)
