Hijacked!

The Kid is having a couple of friends over for the night so I have to do a quick post before I have to relinquish the laptop and retreat to my room while they take over the apartment.

We are heading to the carnival tonight. The same carnival that I would attend when I was a kid. In fact I lived quite close to the carnival when I was a kid and could hear all the wonderful sounds coming from it when I laid in my bed at night. The voices calling out the bingo numbers or the games. The rides. To this day, any time I smell fried onions I think of the carnival. Lion burgers. That's what the hamburgers with onions were called after the Lions Club Association that was affiliated with the event. In later years someone that had really bad body odour would be described as 'smelling like a Lion burger'.
Playing the games and getting a stuffed prize was always good. Especially the games that took no skill like the Birthday Game. You put your quarter on a month of the year and someone would spin a wheel or throw a dice and whatever month it landed on was the winner. "BIRTHDAY! BIRTHDAY! BIRTHDAY! COME PLAY THE BIRTHDAY GAME!" That was always music to my young ears. The rides were the best!

The Tilt-a-Whirl and the Scrambler were two of my favourites.

Well off we go!

Say YES to old time fun!

Now back to our regular program already in progress...

I was thinking about giving you all the low down on what I've been doing these past weeks (which is subsequently why I have not been doing much here) but there are many tiresome chores for this awesome chick to attend to...yes I am still awesome.

Speaking of awesome....

I've decided that I am no longer going to walk in the accepted fashion. I will now dance like Miss Beyonce wherever I go! To the doctor! At the bank! In the grocery store! Other women will join me and we will be a mass stomping, gyrating horde of jiggling!! And it will rule!!!

Now say YES to that!!!!

Go back to bed...

Yesterday was emotional and hectic and the draining effect it has on me sometimes lingers in ways I wish it wouldn't...I get angry and sad and discombobulated. When it happens from the moment you wake up, as it has with me, it would be known as the phenomenon as 'Waking up on the Wrong Side of the Bed'. I have a theory that I have a certain look to me as I tear around the apartment this morning spreading terror and chaos. I believe this is what it is...

I think I'll go back to bed and try it again.

For the Kid...

...because she thinks it's hilarious.

The Kid thinks the animation is funny and the song is ridiculous and therefore must watch it several times a day and share it with anyone who will listen.

However...

Call me a pig if you will but this video just doesn't sit well with me. Talk of 'celery' in a Wonderbra, where breasts are kept... Talk of his 'celery' being hard coupled with an animation of the celery going from a flaccid state to a rigid one... Talk of 'special' gloves and 'proper' handling and waving it around........
Call me a pig because there's a penis joke here.
Don't all men want to 'get down' with their penis? Haven't they all wanted to stick it between some breasts? I know they want to make sure that it's hard. That's a given. Everyone is encouraged to play safe, No GLOVE No LOVE. And having a penis wouldn't be any fun if it wasn't handled properly. However, I do believe you could get in trouble for waving it around under certain circumstances.

BUT I'm sure it's just me. Ha ha ha. I'm sure it's just a silly song about a veggie. Ha ha. Lord knows my mind keeps one foot in the gutter at all times...if you know me at all, you know it to be true.

Subliminal message much??

UGH

Being awesome and making the most out of life is making it incredibly difficult to follow through with any of my obligations...

I'm not blogging.

I'm not taking any pictures.

I'm not going to group. (It's so depressing.)

I'm not painting.

Mind you, having the Ex as a house guest isn't helping either....but I'll talk about that hilarious and satisfying situation another time......................

I'm always amazed at how little time we have in a day. And how we spend it doing such ridiculous and tedious things like dishes and laundry, cleaning up after kids and pets and the most annoying of all, work. Time is such a precious gift and it gets wasted so easily and so often. Our lives are passing right before our eyes. Do we really need more memories of all the things we squandered away that time on?

Choice by choice,

moment by moment,

I build the necklace of

my day, stringing together

the choices that form

artful living.

The past was.

Tomorrow may be.

Only today is.

Say YES to making some memories!

I'm sorry

I'm sorry. So sorry. Please accept my apology. Mistakes get made when you're reliving your youth. I promise the blog will be posted regularly from now on....

Say YES to forgiveness??

It's here!

Now go and get some......SUNSHINE!!!

Say YES to vitamin D.
