Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
Wordless Wednesday
Tell me I’m wrong and that’s not a double decker bus squished under that bridge? I certainly hope that there weren’t any passengers in the upper level when the bus crashed! Can you imagine the kind of injuries!
I’d say that the driver had better start sending out cover letters as I’m sure he or she is out of a job! I wouldn’t want that accident on my record!
I hope that everyone had a great April Fools day. Did you play any good pranks on anyone? What did you do?
Last night I was lying on the couch watching TV and my Lab puppy, Midnight, became very interested in me. My husband was lying on the loveseat which is at a right angle to the couch and our puppy was sitting on the floor between the couch and loveseat.
She kept looking at me and lifting her paw up onto the couch beside my head. Now, normally when she wants on the couch she goes to the other end and lies down at my feet. This time she wanted to be right near my head.
I invited her up and pretty much immediately regretted it! She started licking my right ear. Slurp, slurp, slurp nibble. I don’t know how she does it but she manages to get her tongue right in there! I’m thankful that she’s getting bigger. When she was smaller her little tongue really got inside the ear and created painful suction!
After she was done with my right ear she nibbled my hair, licked my cheek and then moved on to my left ear. It didn’t matter which way I turned. She was bent on licking me!
The puppy attack only took a minute or two, but she was so focused on me that I had to get off the couch to get away from her.
I was covered in slobber. I had to get a tissue to dry out my ears! Bleah!
I lost a post. Earlier today I started writing a post about how we’re finally getting our DLP TV fixed. It actually ended up being kind of a rant about the company that we had purchased the TV from in the first place.
I was almost done the post, but then I noticed the time. Chris and I each had an appointment with our family doctor. So I saved the post and shut down the laptop. Unfortunately when I logged back into WP I couldn’t find the post. Grrrr.
I haven’t lost a post for a long time. I wonder what the heck happened. Certainly I was writing it for long enough that WordPress should have backed it up automatically.
Oh well. The moment is gone, and I’m sure it wasn’t the most interesting post.
I do have a couple of Travelocity deals for any of you that might be planning a trip in the future though!
NOTE: The first On the Spot deal expires today so if $46 one way airfares sounds good to you take advantage of this offer!
and then there’s this deal which offers a great price for round trip airfare. You’ve got until April 4th to take advantage of this one.
Enjoy!
Oh BTW I did find that other post. I’d meant to write it on this blog, but I guess I accidentally started it on one of my other blogs! Oops! I guess I’m still recovering from the flu. Yeah … that’s it … blame it on the flu.
So far we don’t have any spring flowers blooming in our garden. In fact most of our yard and garden beds are still covered in snow. However, I’m sure that’s not the case for everyone! Surely some of you are starting to see spring flowers?
I’m getting antsy to see our plants start to sprout from the ground. It’s warming up and the snows melting so I know I won’t have to wait much longer.
The flower that I’ve posted today is one of my Angelique tulips. This is a double flowering tulip. When it blooms it has an abundance of petals and almost looks like a rose. It’s lovely and it has a nice light scent as well.

I just remembered that it’s my nephews birthday next week. I hope that I’m feeling well enough to go shopping tomorrow.
Our nephews in Chicago so I’ve got to get something fast and then send a package off to him.
What do you get for a hockey loving 15 year old boy? Yeah, something hockey would be obvious, but he plays hockey and trains year round (he’s the one that comes to Ontario for hockey camps in the summer) so I don’t think he needs anything in that area.
I was think of maybe getting him some cool boardshorts since they fit his style and maybe a video game. Does that sound like a good gift?
If you have any ideas let me know as I’ve got to get something by tomorrow!
