BUSY

I'm so busy.

Sorry I haven't been in touch, I've been so busy.

I'm so busy with ______(insert reason).

I haven't talked to you in 2 years...I've been busy with my friends.

Just so you know, I'm not busy at all.

I just sit around with nothing to do....yeah right.

It's October 21st and it's SNOWING ! !

yes, I said it's snowing and has been all day...it's now 6 pm and it's starting to stick!

and check this out...with snow season arriving any minute, how could you not be excited about this! http://push.ca/blogs/snownews/archive/2008/10/20/peak-2-peak-whistler-blackcomb-sets-records-with-new-lift.aspx

Where has the time gone?

There are plenty of excuses for not adding to these rants more frequently than I have, but none of them are particularly good ones. I think it's more of a case of "Ranter's Block" more than anything. Not that there isn't lots to Rant about...it's just that I haven't felt like putting myself in a bad mood cause I decided to really sit down and Rant about the issue(s).

Hope all ya'll are enjoying the fall weather and the beautiful colors that surround us these days. For those in the Southern part of the US, ya'll probably won't seen any color changes until the Springtime - since it never gets cold in Georgia. Did you know there are several people who asked me if we live in igloos in Canada?! Don't even get me started!

I'm studying for my Real Estate Exam - Again. Not because I failed, but because when you move to a different country, they make you do the courses from start to finish, because everything is supposedly different...but it's not. Don't even get me started!

I'll collect my thoughts and my photos of the past few weeks and get it all hooked up online in the coming 2-3 weeks...I'm already making a list of things I need to Rant about, so hopefully you'll be around to give me your feedback.

Tar-rah for now!

Vacation -OR- StressCreation?

Really looking forward to the fun and hilarity of the upcoming long weekend away, but damn, if I don't hate the stress of all the stuff that has to happen before we go! I mean really, how much STUFF do we need to take...I realize when we're going to "live off the land" for 5 days, i.e. camping, we are required to bring everything imaginable..."just in case."

I admit, I'm a big offender of the "just in case" rule, but if I'm going to be sweating my ass off in the blazing sun, with sand in every imaginable crevice, and barely a shower for approximately 120 hours, then I think I'm entitled to bring my "just in case" crap!

I'm keep telling myself it'll be okay once the car is packed...it's the packing that really stresses me out. So after few deep breathing exercises this morning and the obligatory tiff with my hubby, we should have "AIS" (Ass In Seat) and stress free by noon!

Ahhhh....vacation!

The A.W.W. or The Angelina Womb Watch

Okay, so when I thought of this, it was still an issue...but now that I have time to write it down, it's no longer an issue. I'm talking about the AWW, or the Angelina Womb Watch. I mean, enough already...do we need to know the minute she gives birth?

I'm so sick of hearing she had them, she didn't, she did, not yet...well...yahoo!!! I can rest easy tonight knowing that the world no longer needs to be on watch...the twins have made it into the world. Thank you.

The Great Wolf Lodge

What a great concept...a 21st Century version of the Hotel California, but for familes! I say this because The Great Wolf Lodge folks have created a Disney like hotel when the wolfs and bears "speak" to the kids, and once you've checked in - (sing it with me now) YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE!
