How??

Can you believe that these are the same people

Nosey or Concerned?

Yesterday, home from work and dance, weather is nice, I decide to BBQ. So in the backyard I go to cook up some baked potatoes and pork chops. After a few tries the dumb thing finally lights and I am off to the races. Here I am, armed with a spatula in one hand and the tongs in the other. The kids are throwing a ball at (I mean with) the dog between the squeals, giggles and the barking I hear the faint sounds of sirens in the distance. The sirens are getting louder so I start looking up in the air for smoke but then they stopped. I must admit that my curiosity did get the better of me and I did wonder where they could have gone. All of a sudden I look over my fence and my questions have been answered. It seems the street over from mine is the answer to my questions. From my backyard I can see a fire truck and firemen going door to door and I must admit I became NOSEY. Not having a backdoor is usually annoying but not today. I was so excited when my daughter announces that she has to go to the bathroom. So I close the BBQ and bark the rules to my son about what not to do while I walk my daughter to the front door. While I open the front door for her the gate flies open and here comes my son running like his arse is on fire yelling that he has to go (it seems that on the short 3 second walk to the front door the urge to go has struck). So as I turn to go back into the backyard I see a police cruiser flying down my street only to stop at the end to block traffic. So because I am NOSEY, I have to take a peek. So all three of us trot down to the corner to see what the crowds of people are gathering around for. Seriously, people are flocking out of their homes with pets and children and are gathering on their lawns. I see a couple walking their dog down the street and see them stop across the street to talk to some of the people gathered. Of course I strain to listen, and to my NOSEY surprise I learn that there is a gas leak. That is right I said a GAS LEAK. So, now I am CONCERNED I turn my kids around and head back home. CONCERNED because I have my kids so close to a dangerous situation and because I am BBQing three houses away. Once we are all sitting down to eat and my kids are asking a million questions. So I started to think, the pregnant women with the two other kids, NOSEY. The elderly couple with the cute dog, CONCERNED. People need to get their priorities in check. I mean its a GAS LEAK not a cute kitten stuck in a tree.

Lyrics of the Day!!

Just because it's hump day and I am feeling alittle silly, this one is for the guys.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!

She ruled my mind, my heart, my dick
I took the line, the hook, the bait
And now I'm sick from what I ate."

Women Are Evil By Nature

A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub...
She gestured alluringly to the bartender who approached her immediately.
She seductively signaled that he should bring his face closer to hers.
As he did, she gently caressed his full beard."Are you the manager?" she asked, softly stroking his face with both hands.
"Actually, no," he replied."Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him," she said, running
her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.
"I'm afraid I can't," breathed the bartender." Is there anything I can do?"
"Yes. I need for you to give him a message," she continued, running her forefinger across the bartender's lip and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.
"What should I tell him?" the flustered bartender managed to stammer.
"Tell him," she whispered, "There's no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room.

And watching you walk away
And never knowing

Because I have been so down lately, this seemed fitting

What Next?

I know I already posted something today but I actually have something else to say. Before I was introduced to this blog thing I had no idea what it was. I was asked to view my cousins and thought it was interesting. So, I gave into the pressure and started thinking up things to post. It was pretty good until one day I got this email to join facebook. So, I joined the fun and signed into facebook. Now I am stuck with the realization that no one views this damn thing anymore. Everyone is so busy with their facebook. I give up. What will they think up next.

I Like This One

I don't really have anything else to say today except my friend took this photo of me at a bar on Friday night and I like it.

GO DEVILS!!!!

Happy Easter !!!
So one more game left before the play offs begin and it is going to be a nail bitter. As a Leafs fan I watched last nights game on the edge of my seat. To my ultimate happiness and surprise the Leaf won in regulation. Now with the standings so close the Devils MUST win today hands down. So as the game begins at 3:30 this afternoon I will be sitting on my couch with my fingers corssed. Taken from the mouth of a very dear friend MAPLE LEAFS FOREVER (I hope).

Why????

Just the other day I was watching some TV and because there was not much on I was channel surfing and I noticed something that made me say Why? Now the average TV show has a lot of good looking or interesting people. Lets take the O.C.now there were some good looking people. CSI has a good mixture of both and so did Friends. The movies if you are not good looking they can make you and if you are then they can make you ugly. Whatever the part calls for. Magazines usually have good looking people as well. Lets face it people sex sells and for whatever reason if you are skinny and pretty you have it made. Most of the famous actors and actresses are pretty darn good looking so why is it that famous music people are ugly? Why is it that beauty sells everything else but ugly sells music? Here is my point, Mick Jagger. Now that Grandpa can sing and dance. He has been rocking out his heart for a hundred years, but have you seen his face? Kiss, in the seventies were pretty wicked. The make-up put them in a class of there own. They rocked out for years but once the make up came off OMG Gene is ugly. I realize that when people age they loose something but come on. Elvis was once hot and then he got fat. Frank Sinatra (now he can sing, I love Frank) also lost something when he aged. So what does one say about Nichelback? They sound good, they are at the top of the charts, every song off their last album if a hit, so what if with the face? That guy, something happened. And what makes it worse is that his brother is in the band and he doesn't look that bad. OMG buddy you are rich do something. Now I realize some girls have things for band guys but do they ever open their eyes? I find band guys somewhat sexy as well but I also take note of the face. I am the first to note I am not a looker but come on. Draw the line somewhere people.
Now I know I may have pissed some people off with my little rant but this is my blog. If you think he is sexy go right ahead, I'm just clearing the thought out of my head. Oh ya here's one more Keith Richards.
Okay I am done.

SCOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!

The Leafs win in overtime. I realize that there is now way in HELL that they should have been in that position. You lead in points that early in the game, you should win it. They faded big time in the third period and that is just plain sad. Now matter how you look at it, it should have never gone into overtime. All other aspects aside, KABERLE scored the winning goal. Yahoo. I guess I did have something to say today after all.

Something New

Okay I guess its obvious that I have had nothing to say for awhile. Unusual for me I know. No funny jokes to tell, no pictures to post, NOTHING. So I am going to try something new. In the event that I find myself at a loss for words I will post a quote. Well not necessarily a quote but an interesting line from a song that I know (similar to what I post on my messanger, but here I have more room). I do know a lot of song but am not the first to know who is singing them. So if by any means I get something wrong please feel free to leave a comment. I am apologizing in advance for any incorrect information. The lines may not be earth shattering and they may not mean a lot to you but I find a connection with almost all of them and I do enjoy them. So here goes the first enjoy,

How was your weekend??

Friday and Saturday my daughter danced in her first competition for the year. Not really feeling like they were ready I was a little unsure of the out come. For jazz they were awarded a special judges ribbon for most promising and came in first place and received a mark of high silver. Saturday was tap, which they got first place again but scored gold. Not bad for the first competition.

Sunday morning the house was a buzz with activity. Today we headed to Cambridge to meet the one and only Darcy Tucker, my daughters favourite player. We waited in line for 2 and half hours along with 400 hundred people. It was so worth it to see the look on her face when he called her sweetie. My weekend was amazing how was yours?

Kaberle Back?

Injured Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tomas Kaberle participated in his first full practice in two and a half weeks on Monday and could return to action against the New Jersey Devils Tuesday night.

The 29-year-old Kaberle, Toronto's best defenceman this season, has been sidelined with a concussion since suffering a late hit from Devils forward Cam Janssen on March 2.

The NHL slapped Janssen with a three-game suspension for his hit on Kaberle, although no penalty was assessed on the play by referees Kelly Sutherland and Brad Watson.

The Leafs will make a decision Tuesday morning on whether Kaberle will make his return later that evening when Toronto hosts New Jersey.

The Czech Republic blue-liner was non-committal about his possible return date.
"I'll be playing soon," said Kaberle, who is third on the team in scoring with 49 points. "The headaches are gone."

The Leafs have gone 3-3-1 in the seven games without their top blue-liner, who was paired with Wade Belak during Monday's practice.

"It's good to have him back on the ice," said coach Paul Maurice. "We need what he has to offer.
"Knowing that he's close is a good lift for our team."

Even if Kaberle plays, Janssen expects to receive a rude reception form Leafs fans Tuesday night.

"You can't let it get to you," Janssen told the Newark Star Ledger over the weekend. "This is going to happen my whole career. I just have to deal with it and play my game."

St. Patrick's Day!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY, and top o the mornin to ya.

In celebration of this fine holiday let me just share with you a little irish yummy.

Sorry guys not much for ya'll to look at but have a great day anyway.

Bad Sylvester!!

Sylvester Stallone has been charged with illegally taking a performance enhancing drug into Australia.

The 'Rocky' star was not present when he received the charge of importing a banned substance in a Sydney court today (13.03.07).
The case was adjourned until April 24 when the 60-year-old's legal representatives will be asked to enter a plea.

Stallone and his entourage were stopped at Sydney airport on February 16 when they flew in to promote his latest film 'Rocky Balboa'.

Members of the party were found to be carrying vials of muscle enhancing Human Growth Hormone which was seized by authorities.

Human Growth Hormone can't be imported to Australia without a permit from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
The actor's hotel room and private jet were searched on February 19, before he was permitted to leave the country.

The maximum penalty for illegally importing the growth hormone into Australia is a fine of $100,000 and five years in prison.
The 'Rambo' star is unlikely to face the maximum penalty, but could receive a heavy fine.

Enough Already

A reminder to some that this Sunday is daylight savings time which means spring is around the corner, or so it used to. How honestly can this event be moved? Who does that? Now all it means is that it is cold and we lose an hours sleep, in short that means people (me included) are going to be crabby, or as I like to call it B-I-T-C-H-Y. Just to make you all aware I have held the title of Queen b*tch for the past week. I think I have been rude to or have told off every person that I know. I hold this crown because I did this in person, over the phone, via e-mail and also via text message. But who can blame me, this weather is not helping. I am not one to complain about the temperature but it is cold. I WANT SUMMER, even thought the looming thought of my arse in shorts scares me, and the thought of a bathing suit makes me want to hurl. All I want is to sit in my backyard on my lounger, with the sun shining and a book in one hand and a cold Bud in the other, is that too much to ask? Will this ever happen again? Here is a picture from our trip to the beach last summer to bring happy thoughts to everyone.

Tribute from Yummy!!

Welcome to another edition from my YUMMY file. Today is a special tribute to my favourite Maple Leaf, #15 Tomas Kaberle who was taken out of yesterdays game with a hit by Cam Janssen. Kaberle was knocked unconscious after being knocked down and heading head first into the boards during the second period. The Leafs took the game in the 5th round of the shoot out with a total of 4-3 over the New Jersey Devils. Cam Janssen was suspended for 3 games, Yeah.

Unfortunately the leafs lost tonight against the Buffalo Sabres.


YUMMY!!!!!

Go Leafs, Go
