Chin up, K.T.
Welcome back, Faye.

Funny things to do on an elevator:
1) When it's quiet (like usual), open up your purse or bag, look in and whisper,"Have you got enough air in there?"!

Try it and let me know how it pans out for you.

A proud moment?

I'll start by saying that at least he didn't call her fat!
But maybe by moving quickly aside, looking wide-eyed, and exclaiming "Whoa! You're ah.......big!" was probably just as bad, if not worse.
Luckily, his teacher was able to keep her composure........NOT!
Tsk, tsk, tsk Auntie!

Another funny thing:
I was watching the news last night and the reporter was interviewing people on the street, all bundled up, braving the winter storms across this country. All the typical answers were heard like "I hate the cold but you gotta dress warm" and "it sucks" and "I wish I lived in Florida" but the funniest, unexpected comment came from a young girl in Winnipeg. Not being strangers to all the wintery goodness this seasons provides, she said,"It's even colder than usual. I actually hate my ancestors for settling here!"
I laughed and laughed. Ah, the news. Is there better entertainment?

Noticable difference

There has been an obvious change in the amount of blogging that I have been doing. How does anyone get a chance to blog during the day?

I resolve....

.. to colour with my son more and to let him do it, even if it is outside the lines.
.. to organize my pantry
.. to take a baking class but to first replace the baking sheets I threw out because of burnt baking.
.. to be more affectionate (but only when it's welcomed)
.. to lose 10 pounds (the standard resolution)
.. to buy a bikini (but only after I loose 10 pounds)
.. to think before I speak and to realize that not everyone gets sarcasm
.. to intoduce sarcasm to those who don't get it. Not so much.
.. to call my parents before they call me wondering if I'm "still in the land of the living"
.. to acknowledge birthdays or maybe just take a memory class
.. to love more, to laugh more, to learn more, to relax more, to share more, to listen more (and talk less)

Happy New Year!
