Getting Back
Back to BIG KID school
Lets face it, September will be here before we know it. And graduates are excited to maybe move out of the house and start college or university.
Parents probably don't want to hear this but the students will get a laugh out of it.
Tom Petty's quote on freshman
"You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remeber class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends."
Ha ha, it's kind of true. You know it!
Happy Back To School Time EVERYONE!
Doc By The Docks WINNER!

Wednesday The 13th?
I would ALMOST call this a heat wave
- drinking plenty of non-alcoholic liquids, preferably water, before feeling thirsty;
- staying inside during the hottest part of the day;
- wearing a wide-brimmed hat or using an umbrella, wearing loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing and using sunscreen, if you are outdoors;
- going to a cool place such as a mall, restaurant or movie theatre for a break from the heat, if there is no air conditioning at home;
- taking a cool bath, shower or swim; and
- limiting physical activities during the hotter parts of the day.
I'm heading to the beach! Enjoy the heat if you're like me and like it. (Love is pushing it)

How Twilight effects some women
I came across this "confession" piece today, thought Twilight fans would get a chuckle out of it
HOW 'TWILIGHT' AFFECTS WOMENS' LOVE LIVES (Lemondrop.com)
- Sharon, 38, is happily married, but confesses to having a mean crush on Edward. Luckily, she says, that's only helping her love life: "My husband gets to have sex quite a bit when I get to watch my Edward on television," she confesses. "Anytime I'm in a vampire mode, he will get lucky."
- Jeanette, 27 -- who celebrated the premiere with an "Eclipse" pre-party along with fellow Twi-moms -- said Jacob has pushed her husband to start hitting the gym. "My husband started working out because he wants to look like Jacob. He's been in the gym and getting those abs."
- 29-year-old Barbara said her husband is none too pleased with her current obsession. "He doesn't like the fact that I'm laying in bed and reading the book instead of doing other things with him," she said. "I think it does affect your love life. You're like, 'Wait, wait, just one more chapter.' Then you look over, and you're husband's snoring."
- Theresa, a 20-year-old student at the College of New Jersey, believes the books provide valuable insight into how men should treat women. "At first Edward was going back and forth about loving [Bella], but after a while he was like, 'You're beautiful, and you're this and you're that,'" she said. "And how many guys say that? It's a nice model for how guys should treat girls, and I don't think guys are gentlemanly anymore."
Men and Women are different. You Agree?
Ladies, do you agree with these statements about men?
Nagging will pay off in the long run

Don't know what to get Dad?
1. When in doubt, buy him a cordless drill.
2. If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it.
3. If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car.
4. You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out.
Keep the kids cool...and yourself too!

Pets can teach you things about relationships
Not only are they cute and cuddly they also help us learn. It's true! You know how some people say if they can keep an animal for a few years they will try being parents? Well that might be the best thing to do as our pets can teach us 5 things about relationships:
1. Always say hello and goodbye
2. People require maintenance and attention
3. No two people are alike
4. Always forgive
5. Not everyone will agree with your choice of who to love

Don't want to watch hockey?
I know we're into NHL Playoffs and theres more than one hockey game on a night and the men in our lives just NEEEED to watch them. That's whats happening in my house anyway. So here's what I did yesterday. I took the liberty of ordering pizza, picking it up even, and when I came home I only had one little request. We watch something else and check back on the hockey game score (did I mention this was the 2nd NHL playoff game that he had found on TV?
Kids are too funny!
I don't have my own kids just yet but my niece and nephew have always been very close to me. My niece is 4-years-old and she comes up with some very imaginative things sometimes.
I asked my niece what she would like to be when she grows up and she told me that she wanted to be a singer, just like Auntie Manda (that's me). I was puzzled by this, so I said, "auntie's not a singer, auntie works on the radio." Well she told me in a very I'm 4 and I know everything attitude, "I know and you sing all the songs on the radio." Well I laughed at this, so innocent and because she hears me talk on the radio, I must be singing all the songs too, in different voices and as different sexes. I've decided to wait a few years to burst her bubble.

Officer in California helps ducks :)
This should make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and may even make you go, "AWWW."
A cop on a freeway near San Francisco came upon quite a site Saturday. A mother duck and nine ducklings were trying to cross one of the busiest freeways.
Now this story could have ended badly, but....
Another cop came upon the first officer trying to get the ducks between speeding cars, and he stopped traffic so the first officer could usher the flock safely over the road.
"Awwww!" I couldn't help it, it just came out
Too Many Numbers
Not Tax Deductions
Because I think we should all be on the same page....don't try and use these as write offs!
1. Listing the cast of "All My Children" as dependents
2. Claiming your bar tab as "adult daycare" costs
3. Trying to write off your New York Met's tickets as a loss
Ha Ha Happy Tax Season.

Ha Ha smart guys!
I don't want to be a complainer but....
So the sound of snow crunching under my feet is gone and my nose hairs don't freeze everytime I go outside and something has returned to let us know it's spring. BUGS. As I am outside enjoying the freedom of not being bunddled up in parka, "buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" a big fly comes buzzing by my head. Okay I handled it like a big girl, but the ant that tried to find something of interest inside my pant leg drove me back inside. And here I sit. Looking out the window at the sun. I wish the bugs would go away, because next thing you know they will be splattered all over my car as well. Happy spring!
Eat out and loose weight - Yes Please!
Happy St. Patrick's Day
TOP 5 SIGNS YOUR NEIGHBOR MIGHT BE A LEPRECHAUN

2. Always wears a "Sham Rock Cafe" t-shrit
3. Rainbow always seems to end in his backyard
4. Believes everyone is after his Lucky Charms
5. Plays in the same rec basketball league as Mini-Me
Ha Ha
Thought this was so cute. Have a great St. Patricks Day
Not as dry as one would think
So I thought I had made a good decision when I pulled up to the DIY car wash. Thought that the few puddles that were left around wouldn't really mess my car up that bad.
Most people must have felt the same way b/c it was packed in there! Pressure washers flying and I felt good getting the layer of salt that was eating away at my car off.Do you have this problem?
I love spring. Don't get me wrong. We've suffered through -45 and snow up to our knees and the puddles make me feel like hope is near! But I can't help but fret over what to wear on my feet.
Try to muffle your laughter, but it's true! Tim Black constantly laughs at myself and office mates that talk about our shoes. But it's frustrating to know what to wear these days. I am currently trudging around in my "winter boots." Sweating a little more than I'd like to in my winter coat, but I tried heels yesterday. No dice. Not only has the ice made it impossible to dig my heels in, my normal defense mechanism for landing on my hind end, I slip and slide like a kid at a water park. It's still too cold for sneakers. The soles seem to freeze after a couple min. and make me toes ache.
Oh I have my problems don't I! LOL
Guess the snow boots win until I can get away with rubber boots!
Think you can convince your boss to let you nap?
Remember Kindergarten when the lights would dim and you would snuggle up with your teddy bear for a nap? Wasn't that the best!
Well turns out us adults should be taking a page from the wee ones and having a mid-day nap. A recent study showed that if we just had a 60-90 minute nap every day our brains would work better later on in the day.
What Guys Wished Women Knew
Men constantly spit out the phrase "I just don't get women" Well guess what guys...you aren't see through either! Shaunti Feldhamhn (I can't pronounce it either) Lists some things guys with women knew about them...
Please keep your stress to yourself. Thanks!
The Academy of Finland's educational arm has found that parents who push themselves too hard at work could harm their children's success. Research is showing that children can "catch" stress from their parents. And in turn start performing poorly at school. Being calm and happy at home could really help your kids out -not to mention make your life more enjoyable.
Merry Ho Ho for your Bow-wow
Do you talk to your pet like I do? Treat them like one of the family?
I am constantly making sure everyone in my household treats my cat Lu (or Lu Bear as I call him) like any one of us...maybe even a little better!
Lights, Coco, Action!
Well the weather outside is....Great! And it doesn't feel like the Parade of Lights would be here yet but it is. 6pm on Saturday grab your hot chocolate, the family and your Christmas spirit and head on down to Rosser Ave. or Princess Ave to take in the Santa Parade.
Wow, what a weekend
It starts off with the beautiful temperatures that we are seeing today and continues with non-stop action! Whether you're into the arts, sports or cattle, there is something for you going on in Westman this weekend.
