Buh Bye ...

...so apparently GM is cutting out all Pontiac Models. This is a little sad for me as I drive a Pontiac Torrent and I love it. Actually, I'm real lucky to have it cause about 6 months after I started leasing it, GM stopped doing leases...and now they won't even make Pontiac's. Apparently I'll be shopping for a new brand in 3 years when my lease is done...let's hope they take it back like it was promised to me when I signed the papers.

Also, Chrysler is filing for bankruptcy. This doesn't mean the end of Chrysler...just means that they're pretty cheap to buy right now and I think they're working up a deal with the foreign automaker, Piat. I'm sure we'll hear more about it in the near future.

So what's up with this guy in Hdot who keeps getting shot at? Seriously, invest in a bulletproof vest buddy, as it seems you're quite the target these days! I think this turf war/drug war is a little out of hand, at this point. This guy gets out of jail, his Dad gets shot at, another dude gets shot in the IWK parking lot, then this guy gets shot at twice...once a couple months ago and another this weekend...now the Dad is arrested for Drug Possession... Oh and don't forget the uncle who was shot to death a little while back...apparently unrelated, but it seems to me these people are into the wrong things. How do they sleep? I know many people in Hdot are scared as someone innocent will end up getting hurt before this is all over and that's just not fair. Nothing funny about this story at all...it's ridiculous....get over yourselves...drugs are bad and if this isn't a good example of that then I don't know what is!

Brace yourselves...

...so from now on I need to wear a Pregnancy belt or some call it a hip brace. My pelvis and hips are basically falling apart so in order to keep them together I need to wear this. Let me tell you, I feel some sexy with it on. I basically have to strap myself together with this lovely, bright blue brace and in order to make it work properly I need to pull it real tight, thus giving me a muffin top and one on the bottom. Picture a tight belt on a sausage...get the idea?! I'm supposed to, somewhat,dress up for work, but clearly this belt isn't the best fashion accessory for dress pants and a suit jacket...not to mention the black crocks on my feet as it's about the only footwear that fits right now....hot stuff, I tell ya....

He's Alive...

...so on Friday I was walking in town and as I came to an intersection, the car stopped at the light caught my eye. I look over and there is Elvis giving me the lip curl and a finger point. I did a double take, but it was surely Elvis...sideburns, flashy outfit and the shades...quite comical really. I was so confused that I basically stopped and stood there for a few minutes trying to process what I just saw as he drove away. Come to find out, others had the same experience and he even serenaded a few businesses. Not sure what it was all about, but it surely was funny....a bit odd...but funny.

The final tally...

...so here's my "Roll up the Rim" final count:

Timmies: 37
Ldot: 5

So basically my win percentage is about 13.5%. According to the cups, you're supposed to win 1 in every 9...hard to believe it's came out to be pretty darn close. I guess I should just drive by the first 8 times I want to stop and then pull in on the 9th day....might try that next year hehehe!

Can't get rid of me...

...so I'm back now. Things have been busy and this wonderful pregnancy has been challenging, to say the least. Anyways, hopefully now things will be back to normal for a few months so I should be able to blog for a while.

I actually took notice this morning that the Rap artists seem to have run out of things to rap about. I drove into work and hear a new song by Soulja Boy...lyrics go something like this: "I can't see you so why don't you kiss me through the phone..." Ok..seriously? Kiss me through the phone...is that supposed to be sexy? First of all, who talks on the phone anymore? Everyone texts or emails so would an emoticon do? Like, really...how about visit your woman and kiss her in person. Very dumb lyrics...and furthermore, not a very catchy tune.

Went to prenatal yesterday and had to get on that dreaded scale. I warned the nurse before I stepped on that it wouldn't be pretty and sure enough...6 lbs. Well, you know what? Frankly, I'm not hungry for fruit and salads anymore.....pasta, chocolate or any type of dessert sounds much better to me. There's only so long a girl can resist the cravings so I just ate them all in this last month...big deal. Today I brought fruit to work, just cause, but let's face it...I grabbed a handful of Mini Eggs before I walked out the door. Those damn things are sooooo good....Yum....and the best part....they're on sale this week :) See ya at the store...

Kids say the darndest things...

...so apparently kids have noticed my rather large backside. Master K, years ago, took notice as I bent down to get something and once I left the room he looked at his mom, Master T, aka Titthead, and said "Mama, that a big one!" Well she erupted in laughter and it's been the joke ever since. My niece was down to visit a few weeks ago and we took her swimming. She came in the change room with me and as we were getting ready, she looks at me and says: "Tantie, you have a big bum!" I couldn't help but laugh and told her that it just looks that way as she's a little girl and someday she'd have a big bum too....hehehehe...she bought it! Now this brings me to yesterday when I was cooking supper. The little one comes in and hits my bum...then he proceeds to back up and run right into it, bouncing off and saying "BOING!" He did this a bunch of times so apparently I'm the new bouncy toy of the house. I guess I'm the butt of all jokes with children!
