Old Friends Resurfaced!!

So in the past couple of days, two old and very dear friends have resurfaced via Facebook. It has been such a blessing to hear from them and catch up a bit. They are both good friends from High School - one who was in my home room and who used to have her locker right next to mine. She always made me smile (seriously, every single day) and it has been so great to connect. The other was my Grade 13 boyfriend. We also were great friends before we dated and maintained our friendship after...but it has been years since I have heard from him.

It is wonderful to hear from those that meant so much in my past...and who I still feel a connection to today.

Life is good!

How many more days until Spring??!!??!!

Seriously....I know I'm Canadian and I should be proud to live where it's cold. Fine. I can take it for a week, maybe a month at the most. It's been almost four months of coldness. I NEED SUNSHINE!!

I'm sure if it got nice and warm and sunny outside this stupid cold would go away.

Hello??!! Bring on the spring!!

I really LOVE the Kitchener Rangers

So, earlier this week the Rangers lost to the London Knights and this loss meant they could no longer make the playoffs. I was so sad because last year we had such an amazing season - OHL Champions and finalists at the Memorial Cup!! And besides that, I thought the team deserved to make it to the playoffs this year. Last night we went to the Ranger game (they were again playing the London Knights) and even though they lost, they fought hard and they riled up John Tavares, which made me very happy!! And besides that I got to see wee Benny play during the 2nd intermission!! Today we went to the game (they were playing the Erie Otters) and they won!! It doesn't make any difference from a playoff perspective, but it was awesome to see them dig in and fight to win for the fans! Today was fan appreciation day and they gave it back to us huge!!

Go Rangers!! I can't wait for the 2009-2010 season!!

Hello??? Remember me???

Ok, so seriously it has been months since I've taken the time to update my blog. I have absolutely no excuses, and I'm very sorry (Mindy). I lead such a blessed life and truly I want to share it, it's just sometimes I'm tired when I get home and I've been on a computer all day at work and I don't want to sit at it for more than ten minutes at home to check my email and maybe facebook....that sort of sounds like an excuse doesn't it....

Anyway, I'm back!!

I will try very hard to be more deligent updating this in the future. I'm honoured that my friends are looking out for me...hopefully you haven't totally given up on me yet....

Happy Wednesday!

Three More Sleeps....

....And then I'm off to Blue Mountain for a scrapbook retreat with Go Scrapping!! I can't wait!! I should be spending my time tonight packing my stuff up and getting organized, but I'm distracted. Not by anything in particular, just life in general. I'm not sure how time flies by so quickly and how it can be over a month since my last post and yet I'm pretty sure I've been busy!!

I keep thinking one of these days I'm going to get it together...I am in awe of those of you who are married and/or have kids...how the heck do you do it???!!!

You say it's your birthday...

My MOST favourite day of the whole year is definitely my birthday!! I love it!! Even more than Christmas. It's the only day that's all about me. What more could I ask for? I had dinner with my family a couple of weeks ago and my Mom made me a Turtle birthday cake. It was the best. I have been collecting turtles for years (I think I have over 200 of them) and my Mom loves giving me turtles. I seriously think my cake this year was one of my favourite turtles ever!! And it was yummy!

I don't think it matters how old you get, there's nothing like your Mom baking you a birthday cake.
My actual birthday was this past Saturday and my main man made me a wonderful dinner and hung streamers and blew up balloons and we had a couple of friends and the kids join us. It was awesome. Seriously, there is nothing I like better than my birthday!
Happy 41st to me!!

There's a kid in me....

A couple of weeks ago we went to Huntsville with some friends for the weekend. They have access to a condo at the Grandview Resort and we had a blast. These friends have two small children (2 & 4) and the four year old was having a hoot going down the slide over and over again. I just HAD to try it out. So, while I can hardly believe I'm posting a picture of myself in my bathing suit on my blog, I had to share that I was more afraid of hitting the water than the four year old was. Check out that look on my face!! It was fantastic and for some strange reason I was proud of myself for giving it a go!! When do we start worrying about looking like a kid and start missing out on all the fun?? I also played tennis for the first time ever that weekend and I think I did pretty good!! This loving life thing rocks!!!
