Danica...your blog!

I don't have your blog address any more.........if you post a comment with the addy in it, I won't post the comment if you don't want me to - but I'd love to catch up with your news!

and another thing............

Since everyone got caught onto facebook, none of them blog much any more.....

Me? I prefer my blog..its mine...only I write here...I don't come here each day and find a ton of crap about other people that doesn't interest me.....

I hope facebook is a phase that people tire of quickly....

Geez I'm in a bad mood today......I HATE being stuck at home and inside...especially on a day like this - but with so much machinery and HUGE holes and ditches outside I can't even go outside and enjoy the sunshine! I keep watching the clock waiting for the children to get home......I hope they get home soon...

Coming clean......

I have to admit that I think Facebook is useless....I just don't 'get' what all the fuss is about.....I don't find it a good way to communicate with friends...I find it messy and odd...and I can't believe the amount of groups people seem to join.....is that all they do all day???? Look through Facebook?

I don't use the computer enough to appreciate facebook...I think thats maybe what it is......

So many people told me its addictive but it just doesn't interest me......I had even forgotten all about it until today and figured I should check and see if I had missed anything...but apart from Tanyas cute boat thing...there really wasn't much there....

So I'm sorry but I don't like Facebook, won't be getting addicted and don't have any interest in it...

but I still love getting emails - or comments here so if you wanna get hold of me, do't rely on facebook ;)

pests......

You might need to click on this picture to see it bigger.....we are having a bad year where mosquitoes are concerned...because the last few years have been drought weather, this year we had much more snow and rain and there has been a lot of excess water laying about since the thaw......so the mosquitoes have gone crazy......last night was just horrible for them....

Our baby tree farm :)

Here are the trees that Dan and Laurie (with lots of help from Lloyd lol) planted last week.........we will leave them here for a few years until they are a few feet high and then they will be transplanted to other areas of the land.......they are all Blue Spruce and will add a nice variation to our land.........we only have deciduous trees right now (unless you count the silly little fir's we have at the front....

Friday morning....

The workmen are here.....they are complete tossers who don't even say hi to me...I am not worthy of their speech I guess.....yet they chat away to Lloyd when he gets home...so although I normally serve up snacks and drinks to workmen regularly, I am not giving these guys ANYTHING grrrrrrr

I will be glad they are done.....

Good news today - we have got the go-ahead to have the extension done...just waiting on the architect to get in touch......AND we have decided to make the basement a walkout!!! We will rough in a half bath down there too! Or maybe a bathroom with shower and toilet......

I am undecided as to whether I should go to the garage sale tonight....for some reason I am not that bothered...but the kids want to go.....but maybe we could bribe them with Shrek?????? hmmmmmm

Weather is gorgeous again....20c today....24c tomorrow......21 on Sunday.......YUMMY weather :)

Calgary (3 hrs away) and Red Deer (1 1/2 hrs away) got a tn of snow over the last couple of days which is weird as we have had nice weather.....Wednesday was chilly and it snowed for like 5 minutes but thats all......now its Summery again yay :)

I HATE having workmen here......how will I cope for a month in the Fall???? With no kitchen??????? And then with a kitchen but NO COUNTER TOPS?????????

Great speaker!!! Great book!!!

www.lookadoo.com

I watch Global News in the mornings, and the show that comes on afterwards is the Christian show '100 Huntley Street'

This morning they had a GREAT guest on the show...his name is Justin Lookadoo and he is 6' 7"....they had him stand next to one of the presenters who is my height, and the top of her head is level with his nipples!!! When he kneels down, they are the same height :) Things like that interest me because of my height lol!

They were discussing Lookadoos new book which is called '97 - random thoughts about life love and relationships' I think I am going to get this book (Dan I think you'd like it too as its along the lines of Morries book!!) THis book is all about living with no regrets!

This guy was at Virginia Tech right after the shootings, and he reduced the juvenile crime stats in a county in Texas by 60% through his education of children from K - gr5........

He's funny and interesting....check out his website at the link above!!!
