Happy 70th Birthday!!!

If John Lennon was still alive, today would be his 70th birthday! Today is a perfect day to pay tribute to an amazing artist, musician, and peace activist.....his songs and images will always in our hearts and memories! Happy Birthday John!!

He was murdered 10 days after this photo was taken

these 2 above picture are from the Lennon Wall in Prague, Czech Republic

since the 1980s it has been filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles songs.

I was there in 1994....I have pics on my fridge of how it looked then, it's always changing!

Happy turkey (or tofurky) weekend

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

It's that time of year again, a time when everyone comes home to be with their families and fill their tummies full of yummy goodness, turkey or tofurky, mashed potatoes, veggies, pie, and a nice bottle of wine....however your family celebrates I hope it a great one!!!

Just a Thought......

Hitting the Road... like Jack?

Today, in a few hourse, the kids and I are dumping ourselves into my MIL's car and going on a road trip. My BIL is getting married this weekend, and instead of taking the easy way out and hopping on a plane, like our husbands, Dar and I are driving to our neighbor province.

Yup, we're driving to Alberta. Do you know what that means?

 

Yup... it means my hand out the window, but more importantly it means hours, upon hours, upon hours, upon hours of time confined in a small space with my children...

Does the tag line, "Who will survive?" come to you? Well, I assure you... it will be me.

Wait, why am I doing this? I should be smart, like my husband (eh-hem... you like that Honey? nudgenudgewinkwink... you're sooooo smart) and fly.

Man, I hope there's no snow...

Talk to you in a week.

***UPDATE***

Daughter has the flu... of the bum variety. Hours upon hours upon hours of time confined in a car with contaminated air and a sick child. Who wants to trade places?

A Playlist

(photo source)

Remember when Fridays were about playlists around here?

I almost do. Sortof.

So I made you one. A KindaSmallNotSoBrilliant one. It's a not so brilliant one only because this music is pretty old. For some reason the playlist site we use had none of the new music that is on my current playlist. However, sometimes old music can become new music and maybe what's old to me is new to you. Maybe.

Can you tell from my play with font here that I'm procrastinating? Can you guess what I'm supposed to be doing? (cleaning. shhhhhhhhhh. don't say it outloud...)

Kim's in Victoria, snuggling her new baby nephew today. And I'm jealous. I like to snuggle babies too. Especially when they're not mine and I can give them back when they stink or make bad sounds.

Did you notice? I'm cranky. I know. It's pretty obvious, my regular self is all sunshine and rainbows. Deal with it. 

So yeah, I'm bitchy and these are my reasons why:

I have to clean

I had no candy for breakfast

Facebook is not entertaining me the way it's supposed to

and

My socks don't match

What? You think these are stupid things to get cranky about? Well maybe that's why you get a KindaSmallNotSoBrilliant playlist after all. Bitch.
