Who is Watching the Bachelorette?

Can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

Though I haven’t watch every single season of this reality ‘romance’ series, I’ve watched most.

I am not sure how I feel with Ashley as the bachelorette, but as everyone deserves to find true love, let ‘er rip.

There are absolutely a couple of tools she’s already eliminated such as this tool below, but really – I can’t wait to see the context that some of the comments made on ‘this season on the bachelorette montage’ really mean.

Really, what’s up with the “I couldn’t give a **** about her?” comment?

Enjoy the drunk debacle.

If I drink more I may fall in love with you. . . that’s right buddy, keep drinking until she’s pretty.

Ponderings from “The Secret”

Really, it’s no secret – it’s common sense, and it’s what God intends for us. Please read on:

“So often when things change in our lives, we have such a resistance to the change. This is because when people see a big change appearing they are often fearful that it is something bad. But it is important to remember that when something big changes in our lives, it means something better is coming. There cannot be a vacuum in the universe, so as something moves out, something must come in and replace it. When change comes, relax, have TOTAL FAITH, and know that the change (God has) is ALL GOOD.

Something more magnificent is coming to you!”

Coincidence?

Sigh. . .

If I am truthful, I am not sure what I enjoy more. The pure, twitterpation of their kiss, or the little miss below, who is not impressed with the noise of more than 100,000 begging for that kiss.

Happy Easter Bunny

This is all that's left of the Easter bunny at our house.

What is it about Starbucks?

So I am sitting here in a Starbucks in tiny Carleton Place.

Why we rated high enough to get one is beyond me, but I am thankful just the same. Yes, it is more expensive than the beloved Tim Hortons of Canada.

But it tastes so much better.

I love that Starbucks makes my drink like Burger King, my way.

Still, I treat it as a special occasion. So much so that I don't mind that my friend is 20 minutes late.
However, now I feel like one of those pretentious looking people, sipping my latte and thumbing this keyboard, nay- the world as I look through the plate glass window at the traffic going by.

Maybe I should call my friend. I could be stood-up-at-Starbucks.

ACK! Spring Fever!

Someone Send Help, I Can’t Stop It!

It doesn’t matter how much I try to deny it. The season is changing, as is my need to come out of hibernation. I look forward to coming back to life after a cold winter. I relish the warmth of the sun on bare limbs as much as anyone does after four or five months of a serious vitamin D deficiency.

It started last week, with the melting of most of our snow. The sun had promise, and hey, spring officially started on Wednesday the 21^st, so I guess my transformation should be expected. Spring is here at last!

In a way, spring’s arrival is unfortunate. With spring comes my unquenchable desire for spring cleaning, and it seems there is nothing I can do to stop it. And trust me, I wouldn’t mind being able to stop this cleaning freak I am about to become.

Ugh. This means I will battle dust rabbits, cobwebs and mysterious smudges on the walls. And I will battle them all with the seeming superpower of a woman possessed.

I’ve already updated my MP3 player with my latest musical acquisitions. I’ve even stocked up on Mountain Dew Energy – twice the caffeine, none of the sugar. Tasmanian cleaning devil, here I come!

Of course, I will fight it. There is still snow on the ground, so that means I can’t open the windows yet. And I wouldn’t dare start my mad get-the-winter-out cleaning until I can let the winter air out of the house as well. Otherwise, I’m just cleaning winter, and I am so done with winter.

I’m sure most of us go through the spring cleaning thing. But do any of you go as crazy as I do?

Spring cleaning means re-organizing all of the closets and drawers. It means wiping down every baseboard, cleaning every window, inside and out. I will stock the sun-room with spring and summer appropriate items, and will no longer use the room as a deep freeze, or a place to keep the trash from smelling.

The floors will be scrubbed and mopped, the hardwood will shine! When I am finished, any cobwebs that I missed will pack up and move themselves, for fear of my broom. Dog and cat hair will flee the animals before they come in the house!

Oh, sorry, a little carried away there. I guess that won’t happen, will it?

In the cleaning frenzy, I will undoubtedly find many items that we no longer need or want. And so the yard sale pile will grow, driving me crazy until the weather is nice enough to chuck all the stuff out onto the laneway and pray someone else sees it as treasure. We need room for all the garage sales we’re going to hit, too.

Uh oh. The Mountain Dew is starting to kick in and Beyoncé wants me to get all Crazy-in-Love-with-cleaning so I’d best not waste this artificial energy I’ve got. Winter is daring me to kick it out of my house, and I’m more than ready to do it.
