When I moved I decided to bundle everything with Bell. This seemed to make sense at the time because the sales guy on the phone told me that when everything goes digital in the new year, cable wouldn’t be as good as satellite. But, he lied AND Bell’s satellite isn’t even remotely as good as Rogers cable was. Gosh I miss it 
I had had a good experience with satellite way back when so I know that it can be good - and those with satellite may think I’m crazy to not be happy with what I have but I swear it is a pain! Every time it rains I lose my signal - grrr…

I think it’s because I’ve had a tummy tuck and can now wear things I couldn’t wear before… My mind keeps wandering to Halloween and what I’ll be this year. I remember a couple years ago I really wanted to be Cat Woman but of course, with my baby belly (still lingering after 5 years) there was no way I’d look good in that tight of a costume.
This year though I’m thinking about, maybe not Cat Woman, but someone else sexy like her. I might even throw my own party with fun Halloween invitations and everything. I’m so excited!

Well, with a move and then some surgery, I’ve not been able to unpack as quickly as I’d have liked to. BUT today, armed with my trusty box knife, I set about unpacking and actually got quite a bit done 
. Tomorrow we are tackling the rest of the boxes and hopefully, we’ll even get out to order some furniture for the livingroom! Oh… dare to dream LOL!

I really miss being able to cool off in the van. At first i thought that it would be no big deal. I could wait until the Fall to get it fixed. Then that turned into three years… and now I’m really missing my air conditioning . I know, I’m being a spoiled baby but it’s sooooo hot in there. When I go out now, I just sweat and sweat and the kids get sooo hot too -sometimes they feel sick. So, before next Summer, I’m buying a new van. I will not do a 4th year of a hot, hot van.

I heard today that one of our neighbours’ kids is looking into massage therapy schools for next year. I have to admit that I really don’t get the desire to rub strangers for a living. Not to offend or anything. I know it’s not dirty but, whether its theraputic or not, it’s still a job that would require one to be intimate with people we might rather not see mostly naked, let alone rub slowly while they are mostly naked. Yah, I really don’t get it…

I feel like packing up the kiddos and going to a campground somewhere in the boonies Not in a tent mind you. No, I guess I’m sort of “been there done that” with the tent camping. What I would rather do is get a tent trailer. That way we can at least have a fridge and a stove and nice beds that are off the ground LOL!! It’s just that being TV free and out in the country side sounds soooo nice as a change

We have a hotel here where i live that has a really nice pool. It has a water slide and the whole nine yards. So I’m thinking of looking up some hotel deals and seeing if I can get a deal on staying there with the kids.
It would just be an overnighter but I think the kids would LOVE it and, even though we’d still be in our own city, it would feel like a getaway for me too

I’d love to redecorate. Maybe redo the living room all in blue walls with yellow and red accents - with white wood trim etc. I’d love to have the French Country look Of course then I’d also have to redo my kitchen. But I’m excited about that too because I want to learn how to tile my back splash myself too. I want those little tiny tiles and do it in different shades of blue. Then i want to have a new sink - the big country style ones - and fancy faucets too Okay i’m all ready I just need a bigger bank account

Today at work i had to write about life insurance and Heather said that I should focus on our next launch that involves a whole host of things. I was getting sleepy and I needed to have a coffee to stay awake. So I decided to have a bunch of chocolate And that only worked for a lilttle while and then I fell asleep. But all is well now. Thanks

I love cats and if I could, I’d have 6 of them. I’d love them all equally, loving the first as much as the sixth, and I think I’d even be tempted to let them sleep on my bed . Of course I’d not actually do that because my bed would end up filled with cat fur BUT I know I’d want to . So, all that said, if you are a cat person, you totally understand where I’m coming from. And, if you are a dog person, you think I’m nuts LOL!!
