Another out of town party to go to

by

We’ve been invited to a surprise anniversary party this weekend. One of our friends is having her 10th wedding anniversary and my husbands sister decided to give us a call and set up a little party.

I certainly hope our friends don’t already have plans of their own Saturday night or else my Sister in laws plans are going to backfire! I can just see it now. Our friend Jan dressed up in her best sexy lingerie hiding behind the door as she greets us in surprise with a “What are you doing here?”. LOL

Our get together is actually planned for the afternoon, perhaps just to be on the safe side in case they do have romantic plans that evening. Naturally these friends live out of town, about an hour and a half away, so we might even end up staying over at Chris’ parents that night. We’ll see how things go.





Do you have a secret?

by

My husband was watching an episode of The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos while I worked on my computer and I started listening when George started interviewing the Post Secret blog creator.

Have you visited Post Secrets? It’s a site where people send in post card confessions or secrets. The blogger does a weekly post of about 20 post card confessions.

Some of the posted secrets are funny, some are sad and some are very revealing:

Some express a wish to return to the innocence of our youth:

I suppose visiting this site is voyeurism to some degree, but when I heard about it I had to check it out.

Have you visited Post Secret before? Or have you sent in your own post card?

Cavemen – new fall tv show

by

I was reading this weeks People magazine earlier today and they had a section talking about new television shows for the Fall season. Did you know that there’s going to be a show based on the Geiko Cavemen commercials???

Yeah, it’s called Cavemen and it premieres on ABC on Tuesday, October 2nd at 8 p.m.. It’s about three cavemen who’ve struggled to acclimate themselves into urban society and their lives in San Diego CA.

From the shows website:

Meet three cavemen who have successfully made the move to San Diego and are just trying to fit in. Joel (Bill English) is a sophisticated and intelligent man who has a beautiful girlfriend, a decent job and shares an apartment with his younger brother, Andy (Sam Huntington, Superman Returns), and his best friend, Nick (Nick Kroll, VH1’s Best Week Ever). Nick is wary of the Homo sapien world and feels like he’s running away from his heritage. Andy, on the other hand, looks at this new world with his eyes wide open and is willing to take risks in order to learn and to live life to the fullest.

Nick questions Joel on many of his choices, including his girlfriend, Kate (Kaitlin Doubleday, The TV Set), a beautiful Homo sapien woman and high society southern belle. The fact that Kate’s eccentric mother, Leslie (Julie White, Tony Award winner for The Little Dog Laughed), owns Joel’s condominium complex makes things even more complicated for the three roommates. Meanwhile, Kate’s best friend, Thorne (Stephanie Lemelin), is intent on discovering the cavemen’s wilder side.

Joel, Nick and Andy have to overcome prejudice from most of the Homo sapien world and the misconceptions that modern society has of its earliest ancestors. In order for these cavemen to survive in the 21st century, they must work together to render those misconceptions extinct.

I really don’t know if this show will go over well or not. I think it will have to be pretty funny to make it. I don’t know what the full Tuesday line up of shows will be, but I expect this show will have some heavy competition.

What do you think? Will you check out this show or not?

Enjoy free time on the weekend? Visit Everyday Weekender

by

I’ve just spent some time reading a blog that I just came across called Everyday Weekender. The site is written by a fellow Ontarian who’s written this blog as a celebration of the weekend. Who wouldn’t like a site that’s all about enjoying some well deserved R&R on the weekend?

Not only is this site written by a fellow Canadian, but I think we might have some things in common. He writes about spending time in the garden, traveling to one of my favorite Caribbean islands – the Dominican Republic, Southern Ontario attractions and events, barbecuing, cottage life and one of my favorite cottage type activities – canoeing!

Yes, it was a post about his new canoe that caught my eye. I’m sure by now you guys know how much I love canoeing so how can I not like someone who’s just learning how to canoe?

There’s plenty of interesting posts filled with DIY activities that will help you enjoy your weekends such as this post about making your own Keggerator. Yes, that’s turning a fridge into a big beer keg! I must show Chris this post … or maybe I shouldn’t as I’m sure I’ll end up with a Keggerator in my basement if I do!

I Luv this site.

If all of that isn’t enough to get you to go and have a peek at Everyday Weekender there is the matter of the PR 5 linkback promotion he’s having. That’s right. If you write an article about his blog he’ll link back to you and you’ll get a link from a PR 5 blog. Gaining another PR5 link for my site is nice, but that’s really not why I choose to tell you about Everyday Weekender today. I don’t gush about sites just for links. I really do love this site and I’ve added it to my blogroll already.

We’ll wait no longer!

No service!

There’s been a few times I’ve felt like doing this in a restaurant. Sometimes even other places of business too … Nothing like sitting there watching everyone else eat when you’re hungry and the waiter or waitresses are rushing by, but somehow continue to ignoring you.
