You’ll notice a new banner at the right of my page…it’s for Sneakpeeq….a new place for you to find what you love. They have a little of everything for everyone from apparel to gourmet foods to accessories and even home home products. And their prices are so low they have to keep them private.

What do ya think? I am loving it. She took 3 inches off the length and its still long.

Oh and please don’t mind the dirty mirror above! LOL

I have always wanted to visit Canada. My dad was born in Nova Scotia and always says how beautiful is it up there. I would love to go and see where he was born but also tour around the beautiful country, especially Edmonton, Alberta – a friend of mine lives there and the pictures she shares of the area are gorgeous. I know that Nova Scotia and Alberta are on completely different sides but I’d still love to take the time to travel from one to the other while exploring Canada.

If you are thinking of moving to Edmonton at all I suggest using a great website where you can find Edmonton house rentals. Their website is very user friendly and has some great information on it regarding renting a home in Edmonton. It has the Edmonton areas categorized along with a map so you can see exactly which part you are looking in. Listed are townhouses, condos, penthouses, apartments and homes – everything for everyone.

If you do happen to move there and use this website be sure to come back and let us know how it all went! Good luck on the move – AND if I ever get up there to visit Canada I will be sure to blog all about it on here and share my pictures of the gorgeous countryside!

It’s no wonder girls these days have eating disorders…especially when someone they respect and look up to (as in their soccer coach) decides to tell them in so many words they are fat. This happened to my daughter the other night after her soccer training was over and I was furious. Furious first off that he would even say what he said to her. He only has 2 sons so has no clue what it’s like raising a girl. BUT he’s a damn COACH and should just know – YA THINK???????

Apparently what happened was she was walking off the fields with 2 of her friends and the coach looks right at her and says “Gee, guess you ate alot of food over break?” Really? Why would you say anything like that to 11 year old girls? Her friend and teammate stuck up for her and said something to the affect “Yeah I did too – so now I am all jiggly”. So all weekend she wouldn’t eat. I’m also very mad at my husband who as soon as she told him what he said should have gone over to him to address it. But no he (dumbass) didn’t. I was going to talk to the coach after her game on Saturday but she got really embarrassed because there were too many other teammates around and asked me not to. Her team is already filled with snobs and cliques – not going to make it worse for her.

So Sean is supposed to talk to him tonight. My whole thing is – if he explains to him that what he said hurt her and made her think he was saying she was fat and he says “Yes I was or did” – I would kick the jackass in the balls!

Will let you know what happens!

So everyday I go to Dr. Wayne Dyer’s website to check out his daily affirmation and see how I can apply it to my life. This is today’s:

Moonshiners

This guest post from Josue Nichols

Have y’all seen that show Moonshiners? I live in Virginia and it takes place in my state which is part of the reason I love it. I think it’s crazy that these guys are able to make moonshine on TV and not be in jail but that’s the way the cookie crumbles I guess. I recently got direct tv and now I’ve got all these crazy channels but all I really care about is Discover Channel. The Moonshiners show is fascinating because on one hand you get to see how moonshine is made and you get to learn a lot about the science behind it which is actually kind of fascinating. I think it’s also really cool watching the ABC agents chase the moonshiners around to see if they can catch them – half the time they get their men but when they cut back to the moonshiners you realize there are SO many people out there they have no idea even exist! The main character is a volunteer firefighter for goodness sakes!

So wish I knew how to perfect this trick!

*POOF* and be gone!

I have been far too complacent with my “wall” lately. Letting more people in then then I normally do. And I know its because I can’t do this alone anymore. But its been too many people and its now time to rebuild. Not comfortable at all.

We finally got to see the Christmas light show at our local outdoor mall this past Sunday night. (We’ve never gone past years because of soccer practice every night). But this year the fields were shut down all this week and we had no where we HAD to be so we decided to go. The light show was cool – they only do 3 songs and the lights kind of dance with the music and then they have fake snow come spurting out of machines all over the main plaza. Kids seemed to like it so that’s all that counts.

Then tonite the kids and I went back to visit Santa because the line for him Sunday night was long and not moving. Sean didn’t come with because he’s down in Cape Coral all week for work. But the kids and I had fun and the line only had about 5 families in front of us so it went quickly. Tristan didn’t go near Santa but the younger two sat on his lap and talked to him for a few minutes. No picture though since they wanted an ungodly amount of money for one picture and they ask you to not use your cell phones or own cameras.

Notice the palm trees in the background (weather here has been gorgeous!!!). By the time we were done with Santa it was time again for the light show to start so we stayed again for it. And witnessed a kid drinking out of the water fountain (like the one above behind the kids) while his mother just stood and watched. EW! What the hell is wrong with people? That is recycled water – disgusting! We then caught the same family stealing the change out of it. I know times are hard but really? The mother had the kids doing it. Takes all kinds!

might look like a girl in the picture below but still has some tomboy in her. She’s off to a roller skating party tonight for one of her soccer teammates and not only did she ask me to blow-dry her hair (which she NEVER does – it’s usually a fight when I tell her I need to do it), but she also asked to wear perfume! PERFUME? At least it’s not makeup. She’s only in 6th grade – doesn’t need that crap on her face just yet. You can’t see it in the picture but as she left to go to the party she put on indoor soccer shoes on her feet! LOL Now THAT’S my girl I know and love!!!!
