Cars and their Boom, Boom, BOOM

by

I’m always up late at night and lately, maybe the last three months, I’ve noticed that a car goes by blaring it’s music almost every night at about 2 a.m. and then at 4 a.m..

I can hear for at least 6 minutes! Can you imagine how loud the music must be inside the car for me to hear it from blocks away? The drivers either already half deaf or soon will be. Now don’t I sound old! LOL

I got a glimpse of the car the other day. It’s one of those suped up models. Big tires, billet grilles, and it looks like it’s had a few types of car kits added to it – you know the ones that make the back bumper look really huge?

One of my brothers used to be really into cars and music. I guess he was just like this guy who’s traveling around my neighborhood late at night.

Ok well this might be exactly my dream house, but I’d like one with many of it’s features.

I love this houses wrap around verandas and upstairs balconies. I think it’s a very practical use of space and well, practically or not I just love houses with upper and lower balconies and porches.

This house is in the Beaches area of Toronto.

Don’t cry over Spilt Milk – Laugh!

by

I guess I’m having a regular Linky Love fest over here today. I figured that while I was spreading the love I should also tell you about Spilt Milk – the blog.

Spilt Milk is written by Tee, a stay at home mom with two boys. Like Lisa, I know Tee from some of the forums that we both frequent.

Tee’s blog is a great site to visit when you want a laugh or when you feel like reading some inspirational stories like the story about the mother of a soldier who’s currently stationed in Iraq and how he wanted his mom to send him some silly string.

Along with humorous posts, funny videos and images you’ll find some mighty cool links such as the ones in one of her recent posts entitled Cool things to do with Google, the virtual pumpkin carving contest, or perhaps the video of the of the guitar player with no arms. I must show that post to my husband!

I really like her post with Balloon Art photos! Now that’s cool.

Poke around her site for a while. I’m sure you’ll find some things that make you laugh. Oh and as you might do with any site that you enjoy – don’t forget to bookmark her site or subscribe so you won’t miss any posts!

B.C. plane crash

by

As I’ve been sitting at my computer trying to get some posts done I’ve been listening to the television in the background.

They just interrupted the show that was on to tell us about a small plane crash in Richmond BC. You should see the damage! The plane is right inside the building! At this time they have no confirmed injuries, although I’d imagine that the pilot might be severely injured or even dead.

The reason why I’m writing about this though is because as I was listening to the news cast the reporter couldn’t get straight where the accident was … she’d say Richmond B.C – a suburb of Vancouver and then she said, once, Richmond Virginia.

Well what is is? She confused the heck out me! The big red banner across the bottom of the screen says “B.C. Plane Crash” so I’m assuming that it really is in Richmond.

The other reason that this newscast caught my attentions is because my brother and his family live in Vancouver and I have some friends that live in the affected suburb. I’m fairly certain that no one I know is affected, but still, when you hear of something bad happening in an area where your friends and relatives live you pay more attention, don’t you?

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings

by

Hey gang, if you like my daily ramblings you might also enjoy my blogging friend Lisa’s blog My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings. I’ve known Lisa through a blogging forum that we both visit regularly for about a year now. Shame on me for not telling you about her site earlier!

Lisa is a work at home mom of two young children. You’d think that a three year old and a four month old would keep her busy enough, but she makes time to write in My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings as well as her other blog Lisa Reviews several times each day! I know life can be hectic with small children to care for so it’s amazing that she can write as much as she does!

Lisa writes about the events in her life such as preparing for the holidays, taking her little girl to the dentist for the first time, the adventures of potty training, and things like how great it would be to be able to have a virtual makeover before getting your hair cut or making a big change in your appearance.

I think I’ll get to meet Lisa in Las Vegas in November as I believe she’ll be going to the blogging conventions too. Should be fun!

So if you’re looking for a new blog to add to your daily reads check out Lisa’s two sites. I think you’ll like them.
