Saturday....

What am I doing on the computer on a Saturday? Not sure myself. SInce I work with computers at work day in, day out, very seldom do I even want to look at one at home. Just don't want to even see one. I think that is why digital scrapping, or scrapping items that you need the computer for have never appealed to me.
The other thing is I am on the phone a lot. Like a total lot. I have no desire to have a cell phone attached to my ear the rest of the time. I just don't get people that think a cell phone is indispensible or that they can't live without it. I don't get that reasoning at all. Or a status symbol. They are not that either now. Back in 1990 when we were one of the first ones to have one in this area, yes they were a little bit of one, but in reality we got one due to my health. And in todays standards they are no status symbol at all. AND people, just because you are talking on the cell phone does not mean the rest of the world is death. Guess what we hear every single thing you are saying. Really we do.

Oooh I have a huge mobile phone dislike too. I have one purely for emergencies if the school needs me or something. We survived our childhood/teenage years perfectly well without one. The problem being that this is how the children are brought up now - they don't know how to survive without one. Lets face it also, since the phemonomum (ok I know that's spelt wrong but you know what i mean ROFL) of mobile phones - there are less pay phones about (they are being ripped out left, right and centre).

My biggest bug bear about the mobile phones is the rudness that they have instilled in people - hello it is not OK to talk on the phone whilst being served at a cafe/restaurant or whilst being served anywhere - it is plain RUDE!!

OOps sorry - can you tell this topic really gets me going ROFL

Cell phone users in public are a menace to society in more ways than one.

My mobile phone is glued to me where-ever I go, although when in company I refuse to answer it !

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.

Back to school

Image
DD first day of grade three is today. She is very excited to be going back, and hoping she gets her dream teacher. There was a fiasco last year at the start of school and DD started with her dream teacher and then they moved her twice more and she ended up with a split teacher room. This year she hopes she gets Mrs. K, for good. I hope the school has their act together this year. She didn't want me to drive her, she didn't want me to follow the school bus, she wanted to do it on her own just like last year. She was happy to have mom wait at the bus stop with her though.
