Memory Lane

American Idol is back…. Oh yeah, you know what that means. Blog city! Well, that is of course if I find someone in the mix that I really want to win. Otherwise it’ll be a “meh” season in idolville. Last year’s Idol was great, so much drama and intrigue and …. soo… much…. Booooo. *pant* Bo, Bo Bice, that is. …

I have urges, and I think they have something to do with my age. Turning 30 has not only made me somewhat panicky about whether we are going to be able to start a family, more aware of the grey (not even grey, WHITE) hairs growing on my head… but now I have the urge to knit?! I have these …

The grandfather I never knew died today. This morning I was speaking to my mother on the phone and she told me he was dying, that they’d heard it through my father’s cousin who didn’t want my father to just see it in the paper or something. Not that I think it would make any difference, as my father always …

I was in Cape Breton, writing in my diary.. and letters to my future husband, even though I didn’t know it yet. Today while rummaging through our storage room, Xander found my old diary. When he brought it up to me I couldn’t believe my eyes, as I haven’t seen it in ages. I have been looking through it and …

There was a girl I knew when I was a kid. She lived up off of Musgrave’s Lane and used to hang out with my friend Sarah a lot. Her name was Angela and I used to think she was such a goodie two shoes. She never wanted to do anything really risky, she was so pretty and polite and …

Another trip down memory lane for me. Today I was reading Tanya’s Blog and am once again about to steal material from her. hehe It was such good timing that I saw this after my recent post about The Facts of Life. For some reason I’ve been thinking a lot lately about when I was a kid. The TV shows …

.. You take them both and then you have the Facts of Life! My god how I loved this show when I was younger. Edna and her girls, all so different from each other, which looking back makes sense since every young girl could relate to at least one of them. Basically the story was that Edna ran a boarding …

Yesterday I returned the Creative Camera and got the Logitech Camera back with a powered USB hub. The camera didn’t work. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with the people from Logitech (Who were as useless as tits on a bull!) and with the makers of this laptop (Who were great!!) yet we came to no solution. …

The moral of THIS story is… BE YOURSELF! Not what you think people will like you for, not what you think will make people do what you want them to do, just who you are.You probably think I sound like a raving weirdo but but seriously, the longer I’m on the internet the more I realize just how screwed up …

Well the weekend is over and it was awesome! Friday night we went to my dad’s cousin Brenda’s place.. it was just the family and we had some pizza and a few drinks. Her daughter Leanne is a few years younger than me and got married while I was away (in August) so I missed it. We watched the video …
