Yum!!!!

We went out for dinner tonight - I didn't feel like going to a movie after all - maybe if it was local I would but I ddn't want to go far and none of the local theatres were showing what I wnated to see, so we just went into town for something to eat. We ended up at a Taste of India and both had their buffet meal. It was a really good choice tonight! $16.95 for all you can eat and soooooo much choice! Really good too! Their Naan's are soooo good! Yum! Anyway the best part of the meal was the dessert - I had FAR too much and they had this yummy dessert - had no clue what it was until afterwards when we asked - turns out its made of CARROT! So I looked it up when I got home!

It looked like a cross between cat food and the base of a British trifle (not Canadian trifle which is NOTHING like a British trifle TRUST me!!!!) and it was WARM!!!! I had mine with this creamy coconut-y custard and some fruit cocktail. I don't think you were supposed to lol but it went really well ;)

It was good :) Great service, great atmosphere, great food and yummy dessert!

Sunset for you....

My two week online journaling class starts tomorrow :) I have all my supplies ready to go and I'm really looking forward to getting started :) Today I got as many of my ATC's done as possible so that I can focus on my course instead of ATC's during the course. Tomorrow I'll finish more of the ATC's so I get them all done before I get into the course properly.....

Anyone else joining in? You don't have to join in with the projects....you could just join in with the prompts and take part via your blog!

Home remedies :)

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, DRINK A QUART OF PRUNE JUICE, YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

DAILY THOUGHT: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY
GOOD FOR ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS!

Leaving for the bus.....

The children leaving for the school bus on Friday......we had a little snow that morning! That wasn't their bus going up the road, just another bus going by.....

Alone...but I won't complain..

It's Saturday but it doesn't feel like it. I woke up at 6am as Lloyd was putting my coffee by my bed. He kissed my hand and whispered goodbye and I told him to drive carefully....he told me he loved me and then he left for work...I heard the garage door go down as I drifted off to sleep. It was like any other week day.

I woke again at 8am to my coffee and found the little note above folded up on top of my coffee mug. That made me smile :) But I'm still sad he's working on a Saturday - its been a long time since he worked on a weekend.

Normally I would sulk and complain and whinge and wine......but today I'm not going to, because you know what? My day could be a lot worse........And if all I have to complain a bout is the fact that my husband is working today, then geez....I really don't have a lot to complain about! I'm feeling extremely grateful right now!
