The Addiction...

...so most people are addicted to Facebook these days. I know I go on at least a couple times per day to see what people are up to and what funny things they have to say. I do think people should have a little more common sense when posting their status messages. Nothing worse than something like this: So and So can't believe that happened! ...or So and So is the happiest person in the world...or So and So is shocked! All of those are super annoying cause you know someone is gonna ask what the hell is going on. There was one the other day that annoyed me and this girl posted "So and So knows a secret, but can't tell anyone yet" WHY would you even bother putting that??? That's just plain ridiculous. Oh there's another good one I saw..."So and So thinks that some people should mind their own business!" Well then get off facebook and stop posting your life story you ding dong!

People have to realize that there's nothing wrong with Facebook if used properly. Post that you're at work...or heading to town...or graduating...or you bought a new awesome sweater...or you found a new recipe for the slow cooker....that kind of stuff. Don't post that people are mean, that you hate the world, that you know something the rest doesn't, that your life sucks or that you have a rash all over your body....no one wants to hear that stuff! Seems to me that's just common sense. I don't mind hearing that so and so is feeling ill today or is annoyed with their children or that they're hurting somewhere...just don't need to read 57 status messages of the same thing from the same person...got the hint the first time. I do my fair share of complaining, but it's mostly to my close friends who understand what's going on. I don't think facebook needs to hear that my hoo-hoo is swollen, or that my bladder control is out of whack, or that I have nosebleeds most mornings, or that my breasts are ginormous and leaking milk...just some things I think are better left off Facebook so that all my half friends, weirdos, people I met once, relatives and my real friends who have already heard it anyways have to read it daily. It's just not relevant or interesting.

Oh and there's another group of Facebook status-ers that drive me and it's the ones that post that life is soooooo wonderful every day and that love everything and everyone. You know that's not true! Everyone gets annoyed, mad or bummed about something. I know the saying goes "when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade", but let's face it...some days you just want to chuck those lemons away or biff them at somebody. If you're THAT happy everyday then you need to get out of the bubble. Having bad days are part of being normal...or I'm sure hoping so!

Anyways...that's just my thoughts today.

Dinner and a Movie...

...so hubby and I went on a date Saturday Night....Dinner and a Movie. We decided to go to a local seafood hot spot on the waterfront for dinner and were seated right by the brewery tanks and lobster tank. As we were talking, I started looking at the poor lobsters all jammed up in the tank. There was one that was on top of the heap that had a few barnacles on it. I didn't realize that those things were actually alive...ya I know, clue in...but I didn't so I was really staring at the thing poking out of the barnacles all over this lobster. I looked at it a little more closely then noticed something rather odd under it's tail. Here were these round little bead-like things hanging under the tail of this lobster. Well, for those who don't know much about fishing, this means this was a female and those beads were eggs. Hubby and I started laughing as this lobster is illegal to have on shore and here it was in the tank for all to see! When the waiter came over, we mentioned the illegal lobster in the tank and he turned red. He didn't know the problem this lobster could give them so basically I just told him that he better not sit a Fishery Officer at our table. A few minutes later another waitress came over to look at it and the chef picked it out of the tank. They were all in a hurry all of a sudden...probably cause the part owner is a lobster buyer so likely this lobster came from his pound...hehehehe...it was rather funny to see them scurry it out the door.

After that eventful dinner we headed to the movies to see "Angels and Demons". It was quite interesting and most of it was a little far fetched. One thing I noticed was that the Vatican (well, the one they showed in the movie) was FULL of naked men statues and paintings. Kinda odd for a building full of older males, wouldn't you say? Kinda makes me wonder with all the stories that have been coming out of the catholic church. Hum...interesting, eh?

My mind is blank for a song today...can't think of a lobster song or a naked man song hehehe

Scattered thoughts...

...so I'm getting rather large these days. I only have a month and three days to go till baby comes so that's exciting. I was feeling a little whale-esk after I got out of the shower yesterday and as I wrapped myself up in a beach towel (cause it's the only towel that will cover me without large peep holes) I realized I was right....whale...beach towel....beached whale....ma ma ma. What a way to start the morning!

So today must be annual cop day or something cause I've met 7 cops today...quite odd. Two of them were ghost cars...which aren't really ghost cars cause we all know what they look like. One of them had the cop driver talking on his cell phone - nice. I figure that's why the car right behind him had the driver talking on his cell phone too...whats ok for the cops is obviously ok for the general public.

This morning I lost my blackberry. Fiew...it was rough for a while as I couldn't figure out where I would have put it and I knew I had it in hand when I got out of the buggy to go to work...so it couldn't be far. I search high and low and figured it must be in the buggy somewhere and I'd get it later. Lunchtime came and I got my lunch out of the fridge only to find that I had placed my blackberry in the fridge along with it. Wonderful...my near frozen blackberry was a little slow for a while, but now that it's had time to thaw I think we're good! Not much help to have my emails in fridge.

Today at Timmies there was a big sign that said they were giving out free Iced Coffee's this afternoon. Apparently it's simply coffee, with ice cubes. Not right sure why anyone would want to buy this as the whole point of coffee is to sip on a warm beverage. When it gets cold in my cup I heat it up again....last thing I want is ice cubes in it. I know that TImmies is trying new things, but really...coffee with ice cubes...think about it...coffee...with ice cubes...won't the ice cubes melt right away? How do you brew a cold pot of coffee? Wouldn't the coffee grinds stay in grind shape in cold water? I guess the next thing we could expect is warm juice drinks....or why not frozen bagels with Cream cheese? Let's not re-invent the wheel here! I'm confused...and again...coffee with ice cubes...bad concept, no wonder it's free!

So get this...

...so I'm reading the Globe and Mail online and stumble across this article about and Air Humping Championship...no joke...Air humping! HAHAHA...I think it's the funniest thing I've ever read! Apparently, the North American Air Sex Championships are coming to Canada in June. What a hoot! Basically people get on stage and act out a scene that involves them having sex with no one and reaching "you know what" all in about 2 or 3 minutes. According to the article, it's all about the story and the acting. Mr. Chris Trews, whom the article calls a "Veteran Air Humper", said this "...We don't want to be turned on at Air Sex, we want to laugh and be shocked. It's essentially performance art."

Mr. Tim League is the Co-founder of the North American Air Sex Championship and here's a good quote from the article:

"The show will tour North America this summer; the winner of each round will be flown to the finals at a yet to be determined location in July. Asked how Canadian air sexers will fare, Mr. League said, "I think the show has got sort of a universal language to it.""

Universal Language...HAHAHAHA...good choice of words! Well I gotta say, this is something I thought I'd never see. I wonder how long till we see an Air Humping Reality Show?

Elections, Smelections...

...so apparently we're having another Election, this time it's Provincial. I guess our Premier thinks it's a good time to get one going so we're preparing to go to the polls on June 9th. I think this is a total waste of money, yet again....and I'm not too sure the PC party will win. Really, there's no party that's good cause they all promise things during election time that they never actually end up doing when in power. It's the same across the board. I like voting for the person, not necessarily the party. I see it this way, the person is supposed to act on our behalf and I understand they have to tow the party line to some extent, but at the end of the day that person needs to live in this community so he/she should always consider us before the party.

Now we're going to see loads of signs and ads, likely being paid for my our tax dollars in some way or another. Also, election day is expensive as WE, yes WE, need to pay the people who work the polls all frigging day...and don't forget the voter cards they mail out, the actual vote papers we fill out that day and all the parties that go on for each candidate. I know they need to pay for some things, but I'm sure we're paying for a lot of it. Oh and how can we forget the pensions of the people who lose the re-election...yup, they get booted, but still leave with a nice parting gift care of WE, the Taxpayers.

I like having the ability to vote...just hate that we're constantly at the polls...I wish there were a way to regulate these things.

Cookies...

...so hubby bought some cookies on the last grocery shopping trip. He bought regular Chips Ahoy and the Rainbow ones. Of course, I sampled both and find it very odd that the Rainbow ones taste much different than the regular ones. It's like the dough is crumblier, if that's even a word? I like the Rainbow ones wayyyyy better and really the only difference should be the colored candy coating on the chocolate chips....very odd...or maybe it's me that's odd. Actually, while I'm at it, the mini Chips Ahoy taste different than the regular size and it's supposed to be the same cookie! Maybe it's just my ultra sensitive taste buds...hope I'm not alone on this one...

window treatment...

...so my mother decided she wanted to jazz up her bathroom windows. She picked out this sticky tac like stuff from Sears and waited a few weeks to finally get her prize purchase. I went over to visit and, of course, had to pee so I headed towards the bathroom. Mom yells "hey, make sure you look at my new window treatment!"...all proud and as she said that I can hear my brother and father chuckling in the living room. I get in the bathroom and start laughing too...mom's window treatment looks like church windows! I started singing..."Haaaaalleluia....Haaaaalleluia...." and my dad and bro are now hysterically laughing. I washed my hands in holy water and came out to face my mom who is now saying..."ok...I get the hint...i'll take it down..." It felt like I had just peed in a confessional.

hehehe...if you know my family you'd understand that church window treatments are probably not very appropriate.
