How Many People Does it Take to Put a Stroller Together???

Shanna is 6 months pregnant and gorgeous! Count how many people it took to do this:

Good thing we had a man there! Building things and opening jars; what useful homosapiens they are!

Falling into Winter

Good thing I took this photo when I did because it is now snowing!!!

It's kinda nice to be home with the pox, playing Nintendo, watching the first snow fall of the year and knowing that I don't have to drive in it!

Well I will tomorrow. I have another doctor's appointment. Yesterday when I went she wasn't convinced that I was better even though I feel completely fine. She was a little confused as to why I don't feel bad. She called me a very "peculiar patient". So hopefully I will be cleared so I can put in one day's work this week.

Can you Spot the Problem???

This has been a very fascinating weekend...

I was driving home from work on Friday, minding my own business, when my arm was ITCHY! As I was scratching I thought, "Stupid bug-g-g-g-gsssssssssssss!" All down my arms were a series of red bumps. I was attacked my a flock of mosquitoes?!? Weird.
So I took some Benydryl and merrily went on my way.

Saturday morning my dad called. Good thing because it was nearing the afternoon and I had to quickly get ready for the football game we were going to. I haven't slept that long for ages! And those nasty bites spread. So I started thinking, "Do I have bed bugs???" GROSS!!! So I took some Benydryl and merrily went on my way.

At the game my head was spinning and it was really hard to concentrate on the plays. But I set my mind to it, got a bottle of water, and fought off the drowsiness of all that Benydryl. Here's my pa enjoying the Stamps wallop those Roughriders.




So I got home eventually and those itchy bumps kept on bugging me so I took more Benydryl and merrily konked out.

12 hours later I woke up rested and happy. But not for long. Those bugs weren't done bugging me. What in the world was I having an allergic reaction to??? So I decided to go to the doctors (after a little bit of husband nagging). I sat in the doc's office for 2 hours waiting. Dang, those walk in clinics. The doctor took one look at me and declared that I have the Chicken Pox!!!

So now I am resting in a pool of calmoline lotion and I will be merrily on my way to bed...

Scotland The Brave!

Last weekend I took a trip to see my youngest brother Olafemi up north in the Granite City of Aberdeen. Sorry I didn't make it up there with you Sugar Mamma, you would have loved it. He's back up for his 3rd year at Aberdeen University and I wanted to see what these "millenium" uni students get up to these days!

A University student's "luxury" dorm. Femi got a good deal this year to stay in a really nice house with his uni buddy Callum. I'll deffinately be makin' more trips to see him!


Soon after touchdown Femi took me to downtown Aberdeen to check out the shops and the history. A great city, with NO CONGESTION CHARGE!

Sir William Wallace and me. Braveheart to many of us. Yes I am very brave

I see the future...Some day "I" will be King of Scotland!


I wanted to see Femi's institution of education so we took a walk to the historical branch of Aberdeen University- King's College



Guardians of Aberdeen uni
Who runs this place? I DO!
Aberdeen is a coastal city and this is about the closest I could get to the beach 'cause I literally ran out of time! And I still ended up missing my coach ride home since the cab service isn't nearly as efficient as expected. But I still got to spend an extra night with Femi and his crew
Femi's University buddies. Left to right: Owen, Jude, and Miream (hope I spelled that right).

Well these guys gave me a good time, something they're reeeaally good at! Hope you guys make it through and stay focused. Good luck to all of you, see you soon... and thanks.

I'LL BE BACK!

A Great Long Weekend

This Labour Day long weekend has been super fantastic with great weather, friends and family. My good friend Teresa has been in Calgary doing training for her upcoming trip to Kenya and so she spent the weekend with me. We walked, talked, munched, and Nintendoed up the days.

Today dad gave Sister and I a treat by taking us to the Alberta showdown football game, Calgary Stampeders vs Edmonton Eskimos. It was a great game, very exciting with many touchdowns and more streakers than we could keep track of. It was very funny. Pete James joined us since our own Peter turned down his ticket. I would have taken more pictures but my batteries died. Sorry husband.
