Ooooooops! My Bad!

Smokey the puppy is too young to sleep through the night without a potty break, on Friday and Saturday the Hubs gets up with the pup, and Sunday through Thursday I get up with her.

Last night was MY night. At three thirty when the alarm went off I took her out and put her back into her crate and went back to my dreams - which were - oddly enough- about soap making!

This morning when we woke up, Smokey was up as well - and out of her crate. There was a few wet spots on the floor, but other than that, she seemed to stay out of trouble.

I must not have latched the crate properly, and that is not a good thing. I expect some trouble tonight when she pushes on her door and it doesn't open!

We were very lucky last night. Next time, we might not be!

LOL - NO WAY

I was reading a blog from my bloglines and the author is trying to start up a No Candy club for Halloween! Now, she doesn't mean not giving out candy on Halloween to trick or treaters, nor does she mean she will not let her kids have some (regulated of course), she means that SHE will not be eating any this Halloween season!

And the best part? She wants other like minded people to agree not to eat candy! The entire concept makes me giggle like mad! The best part about Halloween is the wee bite sized chocolate bars! Fooling yourself that you will only have a few, when in reality you are going to eat the whole darn bag!

Srsly, Would YOU join a No Candy Club?

Kids say the Darndest things!

When we got our puppy Smokey, we told the kids that when she licks them, that is her way of kissing Them.

This morning Smokey was sitting on the door mat taking care of some..personal business. All of a sudden, in an extremely excited voice, Stuperman (3) said "Look Mommy! Smokey is kissing her nakkie!"

I spewed coffee all over the computer and laughed till my sides hurt. I just had to share!

(Nakkie is the word our kids use for their privates. )

Bad Combination

Our puppy Smokey has fallen in love with our cat Tigger. Unfortunately it is most definitely an unrequited love.

Smokey will cry at the door to our room where Tigger hides, begging any of us to open it so she can play with her new best friend.

Tigger is OK with Smokey. Tolerant, as long as she does not feel cornered, but there is no way she wants to curl up with Smokey.

Sigh. Puppy love is such a difficult stage in life!

ohhhh Ghosts!

I had forgotten m coffee cup in the garage during my last cigarette and was just coming in the door when the power flickered long enough to shut off lights and reset the clocks.

I was in the kitchen resetting the microwave and stove clocks when Stuperman - my three year old - said "der are ghosts in here shutting off the lights"

No matter how hard I tried to convince him there are no ghosts, just a craptacular power company, he is adamant that a ghost is wandering around playing with the lights.



Sigh.

Heh

All the websites and books will tell you to let your children help whith whatever ou are doing.

Let this be a lesson to all of You:

Three ear olds do not have the dexterity to put a 1/2 cup of coffee grounds into the basket of a coffee pot while balanced precariously on our knee without spilling said coffee grounds all over.

And I mean all over.

Also. Now that the puppy has licked up a bunch of coffee grounds - she is faster than I am- is she going to be super hyper?

What next!

For about a year we have been fighting with both our phone and our internet. It got to the point that my granny stopped calling me becuase my phone was so bad. I lost a bunch of good opps on different sites becuase My internet would suddenly and with no warning crash completely.

To be honest, we don't use the phone that much so I was not too concerned about getting it fixed, but the inter net? I lurves the internet! I need it! So I asked my husband to look at it.

He was thinking our wireless router was bad. We had bough it on sale and you do get what you pay for. He sat at the table reading the manual that came with the router and guess what he saw?

Tip for 2.4GHz Cordless Phone Users
Worried about interference between your 2.4GHz phone and a wireless network? While the two share the same frequency band, there is lots of space for the two system to work together without interfering with each other. For 802.11 series wireless networking products, most experts suggest using wireless channel 11. (All D-Link 802.11b Wireless devices default to channel 6). This frequency is often outside the frequency band of most 2.4GHz phones. Also, in the 802.11b (2.4GHz) standard there are 11 channels to choose from, all but three of those channels are overlapping channels. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels.

(Obviously this is pasted off the net, but its the same in the book.)

Anyway. Problem solved!

154

I just put 154 songs on my iPod. The husband had spent several hours the night before last transferring every song on every CD we own into our iTunes library. I had NO idea we had that many CD's!

My little iPod shuffle will hold about 240 songs, so I have a lot of room left on it, and yet, tomorrow I will be transferring 200 dollars from my PayPal account into my bank account so that I can buy one of the new iPod Nano's.

I don't care that it has video. I don't care it has an address book, nor that they hold 1000 songs. I don't care that I can make play lists nor that I can see the titles of the songs as I shuffle through them.

The one and ONLY reason, and I am dead serious, that I am willing to pay 154 CAD plus tax on a new iPod Shuffle is so that I can go to the iTunes store and download this:

'Cus. OMGTETRIS!!1!

ROFLMAO

OK. First let me set the scene.

I am a lazy , lazy person. It takes me quite a while to actually WAKE up in the morning.

So Here I am, Sponge Bob Square Pants pajama pants and a over sized sweatshirt, hair not done. And with short hair, It looks nasty not done, btw.

The door bell rings. I answer it.

A clean cut boy, looks about fifteen, but has to be older. He is from B.C. and is selling magazines of all things.

It took him five minutes to stop talking about how cold it is here in Saskatchewan to get to the part where he tells me why he is there so I can say no and send him on his way. Of course, young and clean cut or not, I had him stand on the porch while I held open the door to talk to him.

Tigger cat came to investigate and I picked her up not wanting her to run out the door and be lost forever. And yes, she would be lost forever, my hair isn't done, and I am not dressed, no way I am running out to grab her!!

Anyway. He made his sales pitch about ten feet away from me while backing down the stairs becuase my sweet little Tigger cat was freaking out. Tigger is a chicken. She likes to sleep and hide under the couch. I often hold her in my arms to keep her from running off while the door is open. But Tigger must not like sales people.

Before I got a chance to say NO to the magazines he, glancing at the hissing, barely restrained cat in my arms, said - must be a bad time - and RAN down the driveway.

RAN

OMG it was way too funny. I will have the cat answer the door from now on!

Pee ess: Here is my hand after trying to hold her while I talked to the guy.




I could only take picture of the one hand seeing as I needed the other one to push the button, but the other one is worse.

Still, I think I need to look into one of those Beware Of Cat signs to scare off the sales men!

And then this one time...

The first thing I ever bought online was a set of blue balls for my dad. No really. They were big plastic blue testicles for my dads old beat up truck.

I found them at a truck accessories site, and because I did not then, nor do I now, own a credit card i had to send in a money order and wait and wait and wait until finally, one day the phone rang.

At first there was just angry screaming about how could i and what will the neighbours thing and blah blah, but that soon gave way to laughter. Its been two, maybey three years now, and he still has his big blue balls tied to the back of his truck.

They even got stolen one time by a bunch of teens and my dad went up to their truck, cut them loose and put them back on his truck.

(they've only been taken the once - and his name was on the back of them, he knew they were his before he took them back)

Anyway. I thought you would enjoy learning what my first ever online purchase was~

What was your's?

Oh! A Challenge!

I do paid advertising for a certain company. It's pretty easy work. All I have to do is write a post about any subject I want and within that post I enter a keyword as naturally as possible. Some of them are really easy, like coffee or chocolate, but some are really really hard.

For example. This company might want me to use the phrase New York personal injury lawyer in a blog post, but what do I know about that? I can't even begin to think of a post where I would even talk about New York. So really, I'm in a bit of trouble here.

You see, with this company you are not allowed to refuse an assignment, So if I cannot find a way to use a certain difficult key word... Well lets not even think of the consequences.

So. Can any of you find a way to use the phrase New York personal injury lawyer?

'Cus I'm stumped!
