Earl...

...so apparently we have a storm coming our way this weekend. (http://www.thevanguard.ca/News/2010-08-31/article-1712418/Hurricane-Earl-on-the-way/1) Hurricane Earl is headed our way and it might be a doozy! Tie down your things and unplug whatever you don't need, just in case.

Here's some ideas of what you should have on hand during the storm:

*Cell Phone and a land line that's not cordless. (Cordless phones don't work if the power goes out cause they plug in)
*Food - quick and easy things.
*Coleman Stove. I have a butane burner thingy...works the best of kind! Last power outage I cooked Kraft Dinner for the whole family!
*Flashlights and lots of batteries
*Radio...either one of those crank ones or a battery powered one.
*Battery Powered Fans...it gets hot sometimes during the storm.
*water....fill the tub so you can flush the toilet as well as have drinking water available.
*Lots of Friends that live in different places cause once the power is restored in one area, you can all pile in over there till yours comes back on!! hehehe...this is the most important one, in my books!!

I hope it veers off course...still have a few days of wishful thinking :)

Guess Who?...

...so the oldest little one was allowed to buy a toy on Saturday for a treat. He picked the game "Guess Who?"! He's only 3 so I didn't know if he'd be any good at it cause there's a lot to do. He picks a card and I pick a card with a person's face on it. We each have pictures of all the faces and by asking yes or no questions, we eliminate people till we only have one left. The first one to guess the others card wins. You usually start with a question to identify the gender so "is your person a boy?" If he says yes, I put down all the girl faces. You then ask other identification questions like "does your person have blue eyes? moustache? Earrings? White Hair? Glasses? Hat on? etc... Blake would ask questions like "does your person have ears? Does your person have a chin? Does your person have a nose?" hehehehehe...he wasn't quite getting it, eh? Anyways, after a few games he got the hang of it and last night we played again. Don't you think he beat me? I couldn't believe it....asked the questions, put down the right faces and was left with mine! I'm still in shock. I guess he's smarter than I was giving him credit :P

Did you see it?...

...so last night was the Primetime Emmy's and Jimmy Fallon was the host. He was quite funny and I think the funniest part was his musical skit to say goodbye to the 3 shows that ended this year....take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL0pKOPTB8g

...so I saw a new Commercial this weekend and it makes me stop everytime it's on. It's the new Kraft Cheese one....you know, the one with the dude with the thick french accent....what's up with that? It's kinda odd. I guess it's working cause i've noticed it everytime it's on and have been eating cheese like there's no tomorrow :P

While i'm on commercials, there's another one that I really like. It's super catchy....take a guess..................i'll give you a hint "give me YOP me mamma..." hahahaha! It's the Yop Commercial...love it!

VOTE...

...so Alexa is falling in votes and apparently it's cause the first place guy is getting his fans to vote for this other girl so he can bump Alexa out. That's no nice and not fair. He doesn't want to compete against her.....please vote and get your friends to vote once per day by going on this link: http://apps.facebook.com/wowcanada/promotions/detail/25318/en

Let's get her in the Top 3 and let the professional Judges decide!!

Name Funny...

...so do you know the name of the GEneral Manager of Waste Check? If you don't know what Waste Check is, it's the company that takes all your recyclables and recycles them! Anyways, his name is Gus Green. hahaha....Green....Recycling....hahahaha...anyone else find that as funny as I do?

Case...

...so remember 4 years ago there was this teacher named Paula Gallant from Halifax who was found murdered in the trunk of her car shortly after Christmas? She had been out shopping that day and her family reported her missing when she didn't come home. Her car was found in the parking lot of the school where she taught. Today, it has been released that her husband has been charged with Murder. Here's the article: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1197372.html

Unreal...and to think he's been around his daughter all these years after murdering her mother. Awful, just awful. The daughter was just shy of 1 when Paula was murdered. I think the Grandparents had stepped in to help care for the child, but it's still kinda eerie. Glad the family finally gets some closure.
