What the absolute worst smell to wake up to is....just ask! Now, typically on any given day, my porkloving dad makes bacon with his breakfast...and I gotta say, it's one of the most wonderful smells to wake up to! Coffee drinkers will say it's coffee, but foodies will tell ya otherwise! I'm not a coffee drinker! So bacon is a weakness for me....but if I can't eat it (diet, remember!) then smelling it is just as satisfactory!! There is always the fact that DJ gets a piece every morning and he shares his nibbles with me...what a great kid I'm raising....but I'm getting off track....
THE absolute WORST smell to wake up to.....burnt roasted garlic!!!!!! YUCK!!!!!! My mom decided today was the day we were making hummus so to prepare she thought she'd roast the garlic in this garlic roasting thingy you can put either in the oven or the micro. My mom is a micro-loving-mom....but when she read the "destructions" as she calls them, and followed them it didn't look right, so she gave it an extra 5 mins....WHAT!?!?!?!!? The destructions say to cook it for TWO (2) minutes!!!!!!! And she gave it an extra FIVE!?!?!?!! Oh it was putrid!!! In fact, here I sit a good 16 hours later and I can still smell it...I swear! Needless to say, I pitched that set of cloves and started over...gave it the 2 mins it required and it turned out very nice thankyouverymuch! The hummus....when we followed the recipe alone it wasn't that tasty...so we added a jar of ground kalamata olives in oil that smelled HEAVENLY!!! And then some salt and pepper...gotta tell ya...I'm quite impressed!!! It was fabulous!!!!!! I like my hummus smooth and this was SMOOOOOOOOTH!!!! Thank you Vitamix!!
In other news....not much else happened!! My arm wasn't hurting til DJ started pounding on it this afternoon...even now, when I raise that arm, it pulls a bit...like a tired muscle.
OH and no nap for DJ this aft...but we did insist on a one hour lay-down-on-your-bed-and-rest time. Worked and he was able to just settle down a bit. Which made bed time a breeze!! Out like a light in the first try! Whew! As a matter of fact, I had both kids in bed by 8:30 and got some quality knitting time!!!...save for the American Idol hour...I was too busy IM'ing, texting on FB and tweeting....that IS what commercials are for!
OH, we got the maps and books and stuff for the drive home!!!!!! It was a rather large box and not what we were expecting...it was BETTER!!!! Maps that were highlighted with our route...a booklet with all the individual highways and cities we're driving thru...tour books for certain areas....and then a map of each state we're driving thru....DANG!! CAA went all out!! We have also decided that we're stopping to see Mt Rushmore and Yellowstone Nat'l Park! If we're driving right by them....we HAVE to stop!!! Who knows when we'll get to see them again! The plan is to still take off after my mom's Dr appt on the 26th and get to Chicago that first nite. We wanted to stop and see Oprah, but turns out she finishes taping the end of May, AND all audience members have to be over 18...what would we have done with the kids!?!? So, bummer on that one! Getting the maps makes it that much more exciting and nerve wracking!!! I have to keep thinking positively!!!
Til next time...ciao!

I am woman
Hear me roar!!!!!!!!!! Lots happened today....went for a tan this morning, which was just the regular tan....nice and toasty warm! No more burns!
Then we did lunch, and after getting SamSam down for her nap (notice only one kid's name there) I took off for the Dr's office to get my tetanus shot. According to my files, I haven't had one since 1989...major car accident I was in at age 17....so it's been a while! Good Lord, that's 20 years now...man! Anyways, the shot itself wasn't that bad! I even commented that it was the first time my GP had ever given me a needle....and I've been going to her since 1992....I was blown away by that! I felt woozy, but I'm pretty sure that was all in my head...get it? lol
After the appt, I went to see my sister who's selling the fudge this week at Cambridge Centre, as there was some fudge she needed....worked out quite well for me to just zip it over to her. While in C'bridge (I don't get to go often) I went over to the outlet mall to Additionelle to see what they had in the way of bras...and while in the parking lot, I made the decision to head into Roots first. It's REALLY changed since the last time I was in there! It used to be more of a bargain that what they have going on now...bummer! I did get each of the kids THE cutest shirt...DJ's is red and blue, and SamSam's is pink/white/purple....and they both says My ROOTS are Canadian! Oh so cute!!!!!! Then I headed over to my original destination and as I walked in there were two racks of clothes that were on mega sale. The gal comes over and explains what's what and then walks away....so I start looking. It's a real hodgepodge of stuff and in all different sizes. I find a pair of pants I'd been eyeing back in January and lo and behold...they're in my size!!!! So I take them and try them on and I'm pleased as punch they fit so well! In fact, they're a wee bit on the loose side, but still quite comfy! A little long in the leg, but I can get that fixed quite easily. If it wasn't chiffon, I'd do it myself! (yeah, I'm handy that way!) The original price on the pants....79.99...marked down to 59.99 and then more markdowns....I remember in January they were 50% OFF the 59.99 price...today, they were a whopping 5.00!!!!!! YES, you read that right!!!! I got a pair of 80.00 pants for 5.00!!!! If I'd walked in there specifically looking to buy pants, I wouldn't have found anything!!!! I go in there for bras, and I find pants!! I think I'm going to go bra shopping more often!!!!!!! LOL What a steal!!!! Talk about beating the recession!
So, yeah, DJ not having a nap...just isn't gonna fly! By dinner he was this whiny/crying/throw himself on the floor mess!!! He's obviously not ready to skip them. In fact, come bed time, after sitting on the toilet for 15 mins for nothing other than conversation, meanwhile Sam's getting MAD at me for not putting her to bed...I finally sent him to bed. He then got mad at me (at least they take turns) and I fed Sam and she was out like a light in 20 mins. After getting her settled in the crib, I decided to peek in on DJ and if he was still awake, allow one more potty sit.
I couldn't open the door...and when I tried, I hit something...the something was HIM! He'd fallen asleep in front of the door!! So I go in thru the laundry room, and pick him up and put him in bed...he then cries out "Mummy, PLEASE" and falls asleep. OY! This kid I tell ya....
OK...it's later than normal, off to bed I go to read....my arm REALLY hurts now!!!! OUCH!

Monday, take 2
Yes, I know I already posted today, but that was a little something special...out of the ordinary...extra! Besides, you wanna know what I DID do, not what I did not do today!! lol
I started New Moon last nite, and could barely get thru half of the first chapter....I was that tired out from all the driving yesterday! I do appreciate the fact tho, that Stephenie Meyer does not dedicate her first chapter to reciting what happened in the first book!! Chances are, if I'm reading the 2nd book, I already KNOW what happened in the first!!! And chances are, I'm not altogether dumb if I can handle reading a 500 page book and remember what happened!!! Kind of a pet peeve of mine when series of books just keep reiterating what happened before hand...
Today was an interesting day! I had another "first"...went for a tan, which is somewhat of a normal thing this month due to Maui (9 more sleeps!!) but today I got to do a stand up tan instead as the lay down beds were busy. I've never done a stand up tan before! It is A LOT different than the lay down beds!!! MUCH hotter, MUCH shorter in length of time needed and MUCH hotter...oh, did I mention that already!?!?! I felt like a chocolate chip cookie in the oven! If they could talk, I'd know what they were saying!! I was sweating ALL over!!!! She did warn me tho, not to put my hands up too high or I'd burn my arm pits....boy am I glad she warned me! My face is burnt and tingly, I could NOT imagine feeling that under my arms right now! WHEW! It was quite draining too!! I came outta the tanning salon feeling kinda drunk! All my energy was sapped! Sure did tan me up quick too! You can really notice my tantoo now...it's just a heart on the left side peeking out from my bra....it's cute!
So my husband, who's been on his own now for 7 months, calls me up this evening quite perplexed at the amount we're paying for cable...basic-no-movie-channels cable....it just jumped to 80.00 a month....I could almost do the math and figure out how much an hour that is for his viewing pleasure as he's gone to work all day....but I won't! LOL So, he called comcast and they said they'd give him the lower "new" customer rate for 6 mos....then he called Verizon and they're no better...so I told him to call comcast back and tell them he'll take the lower rate but for 12 mos instead of 6! They usually give to me for 12...
It's kinda nice to have him more aware of the bills and where all the money goes...he thinks we should have more of it somehow....but we wont get into that now...whole 'nother can of worms!
I'm off to bed...took 2 hours to get DJ finally settled tonite after 5 trips to the bathroom....VERY annoying...I'm almost considering deleting the afternoon nap....not quite sure he's ready for that as sometimes he'll nap for 3 hours! And yesterday, when he had no nap, by dinner he was very emotional and punchy...granted, he went down within seconds of being put to bed...still weighing out what I want to do....
Til next time...ciao!
P.S....if anyone knows how to make the background on my blog prettier than the standard I have picked out...please let me know....I've gone blog visiting and there's some REALLY cute ones out there, but I have no clue how to go about doing any of that stuff....

Not Me Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
OK...so I'm learning as I go here....but brutal honesty...like I've ever lied to you guys....
Yesterday at the shower, I did not forget to give a card with my gift, or even sign the tag on the bag, because, who does that!??!!? I simply ran out of time and while my mother has an assortment of cards on hand, wedding/shower cards are not to be found. I also did not put DJ's poopy underwear in my purse after him having a bit of a problem...I can't just throw out good undies from one little poot (toot with poop) so I found a bag to put them in and he went commando for the rest of the day!
In my twittering yesterday I did not squeal when I actually got @replied by Jason Mesnick...the most recent bachelor from the show The Bachelor...it was so silly too! He asked what every one's fave cereal combo was and I happened to be sitting in the car waiting for my sister, so I replied to his tweet....and within minutes he'd responded to me. He lives in WA so I'm drawn to his drama....no other way to say it!! LOL
Oh and one day last week, while shopping at walmart with the kids, I most certainly did not put back an open tube of Aveeno cream that DJ had opened and squeezed out all over himself! Seconds....mere seconds after I put it in the cart to buy!! What a mess he made too!!! The one time you wish something was sealed on the inside and it's not! But, not, that most definitely wasn't me!!!!
OK, I think that's enough brutal honesty!!! I'll be keeping my brain on track to remember more embarrassing moments of my life from now on...hope you had fun reading them!!!

Loooooong day!!!
Today started off way too early!!! It seems both my kids have decided that 7 am is an acceptable time to get up and get going for the day!!! WRONG!!!!!!!! LOL What it is, is that I need to go to bed earlier to get my beauty sleep....but the owl in me WHO's at nite....we are at an impasse...they'll win of course....why do I even bother fighting!??!! *shakes head*
So today started at a little before 7 thanks in part to my mother's error in judgement in setting something on the stairs that then created a domino effect that resulted in a wine bottle tumbling down the stairs....made quite a racket! Thankfully it didn't wake Sam up...no, that was DJ when he responded to her mistake....so in my effort to grab a few more minutes of Z's, I tried nursing her, but she was far too curious as to what DJ was doing...and he came in to see if we were awake...game over! That and I knew there was a lot to do today!
First things first, after breakfast was a shower for me...and for the first time, while both kids were awake, I got an uninterrupted shower!!! I never lock the door, and most times I have Sam in the bathroom with me....but today, they were both engrossed in the TV and I had 1o minutes of blissfully hot water!!! Certainly perked up my morning!
After that we got dressed and out the door....first order of business was to meet up with my sister at her ex boyfriend's place so he could work on her van while she was with me. Now, I dated the guy before she did (don't ask why!) and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO incredibly grateful that God didn't choose me to have his kid (that was Tori)....its amazing how downhill one can go as they age .... whattheheckwasIthinkingwaybackthen!?!?! If I could, I'd go back and slap the silly outta me!! lol
So after picking her up, we then headed off to Milton to pick my mom up who was working at a craft show....then we all headed northeast to my Aunt's house for a bridal shower for my cousin's fiance...did ya follow all that?!?!...we ended up being about 45 mins late thanks in part to my sister and father, and then to traffic! We managed to find an alternate route thanks to my mother's amazing knowledge of Toronto, and avoid a possible traffic jam that, in the end, tied up the east bound lanes for over 4 hours!
The shower was quite enjoyable!!! Both kids had free range of the place and tonnes of food to eat! Of my family, one of my other cousin's wife was there, two of another cousin's daughters were there, my two sisters, my two Aunts and my mom....not too shabby a turn out! We were missing 7 other women from my side of the family....but that's okay! we had a good representation there!
The theme of the shower was linen, so I gave an afghan I'd made, and some dish cloths I'd made...pretty painless for me! I still find it odd to be praised for my talent.....it's a hobby and I enjoy doing it!
Around 4ish we took off for home....that's how we know about the accident still being cleared...they were taking photos of the roadways....no, no bodies! Thank goodness!!! I can watch it on TV all I want, but nooooo, not in real life!!! Dropped mom off to her car, took my sister back to her van, and then went to walmart to get New Moon!! and then we all met up at the Chinese restaurant across the street! YUM!!!!
It wasn't til 8:15 that we left and I was home with an extremely cranky DJ (who had no nap) and an almost asleep Samantha by 9! Yeah, we flew! In fact, we were home a wee bit before 9 and I was sitting in my chair with DJ in bed by 9!! He fell straight into slumber land...not even one "I pee" murmur from him tonite!!!
OK, I've rambled enough...gotta go read!!!

Pure joy
That's the only phrase that comes to mind when SamSam gets in a swing!!! Today she had a new "pusher" too!!! DJ was somewhat bored at the park today...not for a lack of kids, that's for darn sure! But he just wasn't as into it as usual! So he helped me with SamSam on the swing...and learned a couple times about how when you push her harder, she hits harder on the return!!! hahaha She didn't knock him down, but a couple times she came close! Of course she has NO idea what she's doing and just giggles the entire time!!! I was just thinking today that she would have really benefited from a jolly jumper!! Too bad this house doesn't have proper door ways for such a thing...but that's another story for another time....
So we did the park, and came home so I could pump as I'd forgotten to do it this morning...you'd think after 2 mos of pumping I'd be in somewhat of a routine....OY! So we get home and DJ's not ready to come in, so he stayed out to play. The closest neighbours to us were re-doing their roof and all that hammering was right up DJ's alley!!! In fact, he came in and asked me for a hammer...Umm let me think about that for a sec NO! Lunch and naps were a breeze with all that fresh air pumping thru their veins!!! In fact, I even got a nap!!
Saturday nites around here....are B O R I N G!!! I did get a lot of knitting done and watched a movie I wouldn't have otherwise paid for....the one with Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott...I don't even know the name...guess I should go look it up or it'll bug me...hang on....AHA...Mind Over Murder...that took A LOT more effort than it should have....whew! In any case...it was really rather DUMB!!!!!!!!! but here in the land of no cable/no satellite/no fun...it was the best we could do! At least it wasn't the black and white feature of the week they show on another channel. I will admit tho, there have been some good movies on that channel...and they don't do commercials...I digress...
I finished Twilight!!!!!! It totally didn't end the way I thought it would....and I'm quite anxious to read the next one!! Have a lot going on tomorrow, but am hoping a quick trip into Walmart will be in order! Otherwise, it'll have to wait til Monday...GAH! I do have 3 weeks of PEOPLE to read....twitter somehow ruins it for me....I already know the "gossip" stuff from tweets I read...so then it becomes old news to me when I get it in the mail...I still read it tho from cover to cover...no worries for PEOPLE on my part! :)
Til next time...ciao!

'May Day'
Today's' the first day of May....which means that summer is right around the corner!!!! And I can't get there quick enough!!! With summer comes the possibility of going HOME!!!!!!!!!!! Ya, I know, you're tired of hearing me say that...well til it's a reality...bear with me! My mom ordered the map package with CAA today....it sounds soooooo good to be planning the trip home!!! It all comes down to one day....one interview....20 mins (from what I'm told) and then BAM it all comes together! *sigh*
It does feel weird not to be hearing all about Cinco de Mayo...the 5th of May is a HUGE Mexican celebration...altho, I wonder how celebratory they are going to be this year...sad!
Today was like any other day....'cept I washed the floors...amazing how sticky two kids can make it in a matter of days!! I also did two loads of laundry today....quite productive no? Then, the highlight of my day...going out to dinner with a new friend!!! I've known her for about 5 mos now, and we've met in person 3 times, and tonite was just her and I and our kiddos!! We went to East Side Mario's! It dawned on me a couple weeks ago that in my 7 months being back in Ontario, I hadn't been to ESM's in about 8 years!!!! So I mentioned it on facebook and got a taker for a dinner date!!! YUMMY...in one word it was YUMMY!!!! DJ shared a pizza meal with my g/f's daughter, and SamSam shared a meal with me! I could not shovel the food into her mouth fast enough!!!! She was LOVING it!!!!! The service was seriously lacking!!!! We arrived there at 5:45pm and it was 7:50 by the time we were out the door! YIKES! So much for going to walmart to buy New Moon...
Almost done with Twilight...we're at the GOOD part now...not that any of it has been bad...but now I'm biting my nails while reading!!! Have to make sure I have New Moon for the trip in 12 sleeps!!!
I did Sam's hair in the 2 pigs a pony and a Cindy-Lou-Who style today....love all the "ooh's" and "awws" she gets!! She, of course, could care less! Doesn't mind them going in, but she doesn't like them coming out...and it looks SO funny to see all her hair standing on end when they do come out...poor girl!
Til next time...ciao! *said with serious garlic breath*
It does feel weird not to be hearing all about Cinco de Mayo...the 5th of May is a HUGE Mexican celebration...altho, I wonder how celebratory they are going to be this year...sad!
Today was like any other day....'cept I washed the floors...amazing how sticky two kids can make it in a matter of days!! I also did two loads of laundry today....quite productive no? Then, the highlight of my day...going out to dinner with a new friend!!! I've known her for about 5 mos now, and we've met in person 3 times, and tonite was just her and I and our kiddos!!
