Random Thoughts

I had to go bathing suit shopping last night (which I HATE), but I still haven't got my favorite suit fixed (if you want to read the embarrassing story about what happened to it look here) and the top to my only other suit has gone missing. I had no choice and I headed to the mall. Here is my question. Why the heck do some change rooms have curtains instead of doors? Especially ones where you have to take your bra off? They NEVER close all the way. Seriously?

I only ever clean well my house under the pressure of company. And by company, I mean people who don't come to my house on a regular basis.  In fact, I am not sure if my parents, siblings or close friends have ever seen my house really clean. I either need to have guests over on a more regular basis or try and start some better cleaning rituals.

Why does it always rain when I am headed to the lake?

I said "serenity now" in my head approximately 11 times this morning. Not unrelated, Calder had 9 timeouts today for anything from throwing cars, spitting, hitting, to slamming doors. Thankfully Hugh was home today or I may have lost my mind.

Hugh and I are watching all of the Harry Potter movies in order in anticipation of the new movie (this super idea was given to us by Deena and Kyla). We only have Deathly Hallows Part 1 left (for those non-Harry Potter fans that is the 7th and last movie before the one in theaters).  This has made me want to re-read all the books.

Have a great day!

    Sheldon and I have re-watched all the movies each time a new one is released, so we've seen them all quite a few times. I also had to re-read all the books this June, I was just too excited for the final movie to come out, I had to refresh myself. We are finally going to watch the last movie on Monday and I get teary eyed just thinking about it. I don't think I'm ready to say goodbye yet :(

    Have you ever tried Winners for bathing suits? It's my favourite! :) It's rare that you'll find them.. but when you do, it's wonderful! (ie. don't go if you're desperate... they won't have any for that exact reason. Similar to being dressperate)

    Hey Jordan,
    Have you considered taking your favorite Walmart suit to a sewing repair shop. For a couple of dollars you could have it repaired. I believe there is a shop beside Al Anderson's on Idywyld.

    A wise woman once told me that she never cleans for company . . . rather, she cleans when they leave!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that SHE stays in our slipstream an

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!
