Ten on Tuesday

1. I decided to give my massage room here at the house a bit of a make over. The color that it was, was a cranberry. Change was in order so I went with red. 'Lipstick Pencil' is the name of the color. And take it from me, RED SUCKS! The room is pretty tiny and I finished today and I had to use FOUR gallons of paint. Mark made the joke that my room is now smaller due to the inch of paint on the walls! The finished product should look good.

2. We had a big fire here in the Hat this past week. It happened to be a pub called the 'Dog House' and the bar Ezzies. When I first heard about it I thought the pub was out in Redcliff, they then added on the news that it was the entire building and that Ezzies was lost as well. This building just happened to be the view from my massage room at the Ridge. The horizon looks a little bit different now.....I have a better view! The building was 50 years old and they think the fire started up high, in between the ceiling and the roof.

3. Also speaking of news........it just gives me the heebie jeebies to hear about the Jeremy Stienke case going on right now in Calgary. The Richardson family was murdered 3 years ago this coming April. Listening to the news and hearing some of the details is awful. Makes you wonder what the heck was going on in those kids heads. Even more of a reason to have my kids stay little.

4. Speaking of my kids.......check out their shirts. I just couldn't resist.

(Dear Santa, I can explain everything)


They look like perfect little angels don't they? Their poor lips.......they keep licking them and get those sores under their mouths.

5. Carter went through his first pair of glasses last week. Him and another kid were running full tilt and crashed leading with their heads. Mark took him in on the weekend to see if the lady at Sears could fix them or not. NOT! So they ordered another pair. I'm a bit nervous as to what the three boys picked out. Mark tried calling me to get me there asap, but I was getting groceries and still had my phone on silent from the night before. I should be getting the call soon.

6. I think I sent this email to everyone I know but this one story is just too funny......

This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor, who will, in the future, think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow and then you don't get any? We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed but it didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked, "So Bob, where are those 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not only did he have to leave the set, but half the crew did too because of laughing so hard.
I laughed so hard at this, I had tears running down my face. That is some good stuff.

7. Logan stayed home from school last Friday. He woke up at 5:00am complaining that his tummy was sore and that he thought he needed to throw up. Turns out it was all a false alarm, but I didn't want to be that mom that sends her kid to school and then gets a phone call an hour later to go pick up my kid because he got sick all over the place. Later that afternoon, I looked on the calendar and saw that Logan was to get his first report card that day! Coincidentally, I remember that last year he was 'sick' the day he was to get his first report card as well. Little bugger. He did bring it home yesterday and he got a good report. I have an interview with his teacher tomorrow to get even more dirt on the dude.

8. Friday night I had my ladies night out. We all had tickets to see the play 'Footloose'. I was surprisingly impressed. The main character in the play looked like Kevin Bacon and the minister even looked like John Lithgo. (Laugh all you want...I have no idea how to spell his last name.) They only had one small glitch........10 minutes into the play the house lights came on and the lights to the stage didn't seem to work. Turns out they some how fried the main circuit breaker and none of the lights were working. Saturday night was the final performance and I heard they had to fly in a new one from the states. They somehow got some of the lights to work and the show continued on.

9. The Bacon Mushroom melt is back at Wendy's!!! I think I will be finding my lost 5 pounds!

10. My vote is for Lance Bass to win DWTS. I'll even put $5.00 down if anyone wants to bet?
