I’m gonna make this quick.

Sorry I’ve been absent. I am well. My significant other took a consulting job in Calgary and I took him to the airport on Sunday this past week. He went out early on a two day “look-see” to familiarize himself with the city and started the job on Tuesday. Sure, it’s a bummer he’s out of town, but this is good $$$$ (REALLY good $$$) and Calgary is only an hour away by WestJet. (the Greatest regional airline in Canada – and I don’t just say that because by OLDER brother is a Captain for the airline. I’m sure he would beg to say they are MUCH bigger than a Regional airline, Jennifer.) I’m going out to see Bill next Thursday night, returing Monday, and then he’s back for the Easter long weekend. After that, I do hope he can come home every 4-6 weeks. We’re solid, so I am not worried.

I am however, completely on my own for the first time in about 10 years. Except for these two darn cats! My wonderful son goes to this dad’s just up the road for two weeks every month and it was time just this Monday. So some people might say I should rejoice in being single, part-time. Well, sort of, maybe only 10-20%. I really am a ‘connected’ person. I need people. (Barbara Streisand – people..who need people…)

Anyway, I’m going to ramble on in more detail tomorrow when I am much more comfortable skiving off of work at my desk, and put it all down. Bill had to take the laptop with him as part of his business. I am much more comfortable lazing in front of the TV on the sofa with the laptop with a glass of wine, er, water next to me, than I am in this dark uncomfortable office watching this little, what is THAT a 14 inch TV!? At LEAST its colour! (the computer however, is much faster than the laptop.)


TTYL folks.

The Magic Box

Creme Eggs
The chocolate season is just about over. It runs from October (Halloween), through December, February and wraps up with Easter in April.
6 months of chocolate. I love these Cadbury Easter Creme Eggs. (Love, Love, love)
I have a magic box. Its a box of 3 creme eggs. I will eat one egg a night. I go to eat one the next night and it is full again with 3 eggs! I love my magic box!
Last Sunday night I confused the Easter Bunny. I had TWO eggs. (oink) but I loved every minute of it. So my magic box was down to 1 egg so when I went Monday night
to my magic box it was only replenished with one egg. :( But that's okay. I over-indulged one night so I deserve the slight let down but I have faith in my magic box.
But I do worry....there is a recall on Cadbury Eggs. Bah! Something about peices of plastic in the creme. For the amount of eggs I've eaten I haven't come across one.
So on one hand I'm worried my easter creme egg supply will be running out soon but my fitness and nutrition program could use some relief from the sugar injection every night
at around 9pm....

Today's Video Clip
This just cracks me up. This guy is a great skater - and entertainer obviously.
The musk-cles are not real but you can't fake that skating!
Make sure your sound is on.

Joke of the Day

Doing the Math

A husband wrote the following letter for his wife and left it on the dining room table:


"To My Dear Wife, You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you as a good wife.

Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel.

Please don't be upset - I shall be home before midnight."

When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on the dining room table:

"My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 54 years old.
As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college.

I would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old.

As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of Math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference - 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow."
