The Brothers Bloom Fashion

I am really looking forward to seeing Rachel Weisz in the Brothers Bloom. I love a wacky comedy and she is a terrific actress. Blush magazine has a article on the fashions from the movie.

Mary Chapin Carpenter returns to the stage

Sometimes you are not sure of what you are trying to do; you are just trying to be happy. *Mary Chapin Carpenter

Mary hasn't been performing for awhile due to ill health but recently went on stage again after a two year absence. You can read about it here in this article from the Huffington Post.

What makes you happy?

Did you know that TUCKERVILLE is going to be back on tv this Saturday? I know, Tanya Tucker is in California now. I wonder what mischief she will get up to this time? Starts at 9pmET/6pmPT www.cmt.ca

Did I also mention that Paolo Nutini has a new CD being released next week? Thought I might have :D

What are the things that make you happy? That make your smile turn up high voltage and you are just glad to be?

My big smile inducers are my children, nature and chocolate :D


What is Mojo? Do you have a personal definition?

Mine is taking time to connect with people. Thus this blog, still in its infancy but at least here and available for my blinding flashes to be recorded :p

Being a Winner

So I began entering contests roughly one month ago. So far I have won two gift certificates (though neither have arrived in the mail) Two t-shirts, both cool and my kids made off with them. One book, which has remained in my possession. Not big wins but nice and so much more fun getting the mail now. OH, freebies of course... Carnation Instant Breakfast pouch came in the mail, tried it, too much of something first thing in the morning, needs to be utilized with something solid in your stomach as well. PGSampler, my husband grabbed the razor with the five blades(I share) It came with shampoo samples as well, I got to use those. Two free posters from Environment Canada, kids took them, they were very pretty. I can't remember anything else that has come, I have a few more on the way, fingers crossed.

Sukiyaki

This is the Japanese and best version in my view.

My dream bicycle

Now isn't this the prettiest bike you have ever seen? I want one now! The only hiccup is the price :p isn't it always the way? If I had a million dollars I would buy bicycles for every one who wanted one. I would build a bicycles only town. I would join the Cadbury Bicycle Factory to build bicycles for Ghana, Africa... oh hey, I'm already doing that as a woman of lesser means ;) I think everyone should have a bike and use it. For more choices of colours and styles of these cooler than the North Pole bikes check out http://www.nirve.com

Some Spring Views

A wee caterpillar I found hiding under a pot on the patio. I moved him to the cherry tree.

Some of the daffodils that bloomed along the garden path.

I Hate Whine blog

Ihatewhine blog is offering a prize of Kiss My Face kids products, Safari themed. http://ihatewhine.blogspot.com/2009/05/kiss-my-face-giveaway.html
My kids are very picky but I think animal pictures and a nice fragrance would win them over pretty quickly. Go check it out.

Tired

Woke up tired, cold in my bones with a headache behind my eyes. I didn't start feeling well again till 3 in the afternoon. I figure I must have been dehydrated. I had a cup of tea in the morning, no milk, so I just sipped a bit. Wrapped myself in blankets and slept awhile. Got up around noon had a mango and two glasses of water. Felt better. So tip of the day is drink your water and don't wait till you actually feel thirsty or feel weary like I did. Look after YOU!

A little bit more

So I have advanced since my last blogging adventure, this time I have a second post ;) I've been ruminating on what I want this space to be. I guess it will be a space for me to put my discoveries in. Some pictures for sure, because I adore a good visual :D

I'm Back

Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer. ~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth

Hmm... an image to start... Sunset over the mountain

Yep, this is what it looks like in my world

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens

I'm back

Well guess who forgot about this blog?

I'm looking forward to writing again and taking a bit of time to reacquaint myself with the blogoshpere.

The year's at the springAnd day's at the morn;Morning's at seven;The hillside's dew-pearled;The lark's on the wing;The snail's on the thorn;God's in His heaven -All's right with the world!~Robert Browning
