Charlie and the chocolate factory.............

Johnny Depp surrounded by chocolate...........................sounds like sheer bliss to me!!!!

Unfortunately he looked like a transvestite which didn't really do much for me.....I kept trying to focus on his eyes...those lovely sad brown eyes...but the teeth and hair and make up just kind of spoilt the whole fantasy!



Ah well! ;)



We've had a nice evening so far, all curled up together watching the movie and eating the most divine White chocolate and Amaretto cheesecake I have EVER tasted!!!

I totally totally recommend Wow Factor Desserts!! I think we will be getting our birthday cakes from there in future ;)

I love him so!!!!!!

Ok I just have to say I love Lloyd just so so much! He is just so so thoughtful! He's on his way and has stopped off to pick Chris up from his friends house and has just called to ask me what dessert I would like.....he is in Wow Factor Desserts in Sherwood Park and called to ask which big dessert or cheesecake etc I would like!!!

We have never been there before so I asked him what on earth made him go there...and he said..........

'You!'

Its rainy and grey outside and I am tired....we plan to curl up and watch one of the dvd's we bought the other day and now we get to do that with yummy dessert :)


A total bitch......IMO

On the Global news this morning I saw a piece about an English man named Joseph Dobbie. He met a girl at a bbq that he really liked. So he emailed her and declared his feelings. What did she do? She forwarded said email to her sister, who forwarded it to friends....and as often happens...it ended up worldwide on the net, on the news, in the papers......

They say he is a laughing stock (although many thousands of emails to him since show otherwise IMO as many women have asked for dates)

They say he is a dork for sending this email. Why? Its open and honest and sweet and shows (to me at least) that he would be an open and honest and sweet and caring partner/ boyfriend/ husband. I constantly see on forums messages from women moaning about the way their husbands treat them.....yet when a sweet caring man comes along people think he's a dork.

I'm not interested in the tough lad thing....the ones that like to go out to the bars or follow their hobbies constantly or never help with the kids and never discuss feelings and aren't romantic...I left that all behind when I left school. Now I just want a man who treats me with love and respect, who talks about how he feels and shows how much he cares and loves for me and our children.

I'm disgusted by thirtysomething single women these days that they would globally humiliate a man so caring and so open about his feelings....why? because he doesn't look like Tom Cruise? Because he isn't a millionaire? Why exactly would that bitch do that?

Ok jumping off of soapbox now.

Another Abby-ism

In the car this morning Abby said:

"When I grow up I think I want to be a teenager.........no, I know....I want to be Chinese"

I'm not sure about the teenager part but I'd kind of like her to be Chinese...they have such wonderful festivals and culture......and food!!! We watched the Chef At Large the other day about the Moon Festival......how to make moon cakes etc and it reminded me of the project we did on Chinese New Year....that was sooooo much fun! Actually I think maybe that would be something nice to do this weekend...head over to T & T supermarket at WEM. The kids LOVE it there!

Millennium fun...................













This morning Chris had a shift at the library to work, so I dropped him at the Mall at 10am and then we headed to Millennium Place (a large recreation centre) for a few hours. Laurence and Susannah headed to the ice rink to skate for a while and then the gymnasium to play badminton and soccer. While they were in there I took Abigail and Samuel into the indoor playground as I'd arranged to meet Sh and her two beautiful little girls (her very VERY special little baby who was born on MY birthday!!!!)

The playground was soooooo busy. It was pouring with rain outside so I guess everyone headed there to get the kids out of the house! Sh introduced me to a lady from LP.....its always nice to put faces to names!!!

They have a new bouncy castle in the indoor playground now so Abigail and K had fun on there.

We went out to the tables for snacks and coffee halfway through and then when Sh was ready to go I walked out to the car with her to give her the baby clothes I had saved for her......So yes....the last of my baby and toddler clothes are now gone.......how sad that we won't need them any more. We also gave her the Tigger bouncer........we have so many memories of Sam and Abby jumping about in that.....

I went back inside and had lunch with my 4......then Susie and Laurie headed into the Sport Zone for the over 8's for a while and I walked around with Sam and Abby and then took them back into the indoor playground for a while until Sam was getting sleepy.......we headed home around 2pm..................

We checked the mail box and Yay another homeschool magazine! I got one yesterday too...Homeschooling Horizons arived yesterday and today The Old Schoolhouse arrived.

Lloyd is finishing work early today (yay a 3 day weekend!!!) and picking Chris up from his friends house on the way home......although I wouldn't be surprised to get a phone call from Chris asking if he can sleep over!

I'm tired today. Aunt Flo arrived. What fun! I was going to go swimming so we took all the swimming things but not today.........maybe next week.......I've promised the children we will head back next week and Chris can come with us to the sports zone.................
