I’m still sick but…

I’m almost better. A friend sent me this video to help the healing process. Yes, I starting singing along. Here is the blurb to go along with it…

This video was made in the Antwerp, Belgium Central (Train) Station on March 23, 2009, with no warning to the passengers passing through the station. At 8:00 am a recording of Julie Andrews singing ‘Do, Re, Mi’ begins to play on the public address system. As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances. They created this amazing stunt with just two rehearsals!

Shopping and Spending and Vacations…Oh My!

Published on February 17, 2009 in Fun and Life. 6 Comments

I’m on vacation! This is a wonderful feeling for me, as I’m one of these high strung, bouncy, hyper people. When I go on vacation, it’s usually for stress relief, but not this time. My parents are up visiting, and we are having a wonderful time.

One of the things my mum and I do when we get together is home decorating. I’m usually so busy in my daily life, that I don’t have time to worry about things like pictures on the walls. But when she’s up, I tend to go out and have fun buying things for my house. Today we are going drape shopping. Who knew I would get excited about drapes!

I’m also taking a short break from my writing while they are here. Next week I’m going to be diving head first into a new project, so  I think I’ve earned a small reprieve. It’s giving me a chance to mull things over in my head. :D

How is everyone else making out? I hope you are all well. :D

I have a girl crush on Pink

Published on January 22, 2009 in Fun, Music and The Bond That Saves Us. 4 Comments

So one of my Christmas presents this year from my daughters was Pink’s new CD Funhouse. I SQUEED! I love Pink. Love everything about this woman, to be honest.

She’s beautiful, without looking manufactured. Honestly, she eats real food from the look of her. Healthy, not a twig.  She’s true to herself and what she wants out of life. And her music kicks ass.

I love the messages in her songs, and I would play them for my girls if I could. But there’s swearing, and while I have no problem with it, I don’t want my seven year old to be the one teaching all her friends the “f word”.

So I was singing my little heart out this morning in the car going to work. I think everyone thought I was insane at the red lights. I really get into my music when I’m into it (ask Amy). If you like music with a bit of a message, a good beat, and a lot of fun, grab Funhouse.

You can check out Pink’s site here.

OMG This is freaking BRILLIANT!!!

I don’t know how many of you used to read the fantastic Choose Your Own Adventure books when you were a kid, but I LOVED them. Well, some brilliant people out there created Choose Your Own Adventure YouTube videos!!!

You have to watch the movie short, then make a decision based on what has happened. LOL!!!

You have to do this – I’m in LOVE!

Dropped Coffee, Cats, and Book Reviews

Published on December 9, 2008 in Fun, Life and Review. 4 Comments

Well I had a fun start to my day. More snow landed in my area, and I wasn’t quite ready for it. I had an early morning meeting, and ended up being late because things were so bad in my subdivision. I then dropped my entire mug of coffee on the ground once I got to the office. That means I’m forced to drink crap coffee out of the machine *blech*.

My day started to look up when I finally got to my email and discovered that The Bond That Consumes Us received a five heart rating from The Romance Studio!

Wow! I picked this one up and couldn’t put it down. Taber is a tortured soul, and I had a lot of sympathy for him when I found out what had happened to him earlier in his life. The way it was put together in the story explained a lot of his actions so that it made sense and really enhanced it. Fallon was a great character; she’s strong, sexy and knows how to go after what she wants, which is this powerful, dominant man. The sex in the story is passionate and hot, and in context. The secondary characters were great; they didn’t take over the story but I was left wondering what’s going to happen to at least one of them… Sean. I thought this was a fantastic story, full of rich characters and fast paced enough to keep me reading until the story was done. Don’t miss it!

Thank you so much Julia!! I’m working hard on Sean’s story now, and hope to have it done around the end of December.

My friend then sent me the little short below. I laughed my ass off! I have a cat, and she so does this. Normally when I’m trying to write on my computer LOL!

Technical Difficulties and Vacation

Hello my friends!! Some of you may have noticed that there’s been a nasty message coming up when you go to access my blog. Apparently Google thought I was a spam site for some reason. I think we have it fixed now, so if anyone is still getting the message, please send me know. Feel free to email me!

I haven’t been around much this week as I have friends up visiting from Nova Scotia. We’ve been having a fantastic time! Tomorrow we are going to Niagara Falls and White Wolf Lodge with the kids. I’m super excited to be going as I’ve never seen the falls.

Oh and I meant to tell everyone about Evil Dead The Musical. FANTASTIC!!!! Oh man I had tears coming down my face it was so funny. Please do yourself a favor and go see this play if you ever have the opportunity. If you live near the Toronto area, its still playing until September 6th.

Today we’re off to go get some things for the kids. School starts next week and we’re nowhere near ready. *sigh*

How is everyone else making out?!
