We used to make popcorn all the time

August 6, 2007 by Tricia

I was puttering around cleaning our kitchen cupboards the other day and I came across and appliance we haven’t used for a long time. It was our popcorn machine. We got it as a wedding present way back in 1994!

We used to have movie nights and make popcorn fairly often, but we haven’t used the popcorn machine for a few years now.

When I found the machine that had been tucked into a back corner of a cupboard I thought about making some popcorn for Chris. I can’t eat it myself these days since it aggravates my crohns, but Chris would have enjoyed it if I had made up some popcorn.

Trouble is, if I made some I’d want to eat it. Popcorn was a popular snack on night shifts when I was working at the hospital. It used to drive me nuts when I’d smell it knowing I couldn’t have any. I’m sure it’d do the same if I made some in my own house!

Do you have a popcorn machine? Do you use it?

The guessing game

August 2, 2007 by Tricia

I just wrote about a fun site on my Celebrity blog called Guess Now. It’s a site where you can try your hand at predicting future events like which celebrity will be the next to end up getting some kind of addiction treatment, or what will be the outcome of an election or what big news event will happen next.

It looks like an interesting site. I might try my hand at it. You can cash in the points you earn when your prediction comes true for cash. Sounds good to me!

Old TV Series

August 2, 2007 by Tricia

When I’m up late at night I tend to have the TV on to keep me company as I work on the computer or read forums.

Lately I’ve discovered that some old comedy series from the late 80’s are on in the wee hours. At the moment I’m watching “Mad About You”. Do you remember that show? Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt. In a little while Grace under fire and Married with children will come on.

Speaking of Married with Children … We’ve started watching the HBO show John from Cincinnati on Saturdays. Now that’s a strange show! Ed O’Neill who played Al Bundy on married with Children plays a fairly eccentric but serious character on John from Cincinnati. It’s interesting to be watching his Al Bundy character and then see his very different style of acting on the new show.

Do you watch any of these shows?

My list of vacation spots is growing

August 2, 2007 by Tricia

Do you have a wish list of places that you like to visit sometime? It seems that my list grows longer and longer instead of getting shorter as I check off countries and sites from my list! Some day, some day.

One of the countries that Chris and I would like to visit is England and other areas of the UK like Cardiff, Wales.

My husband and I both have roots in the UK. His are mostly Irish, while mine is a mix of English, Welsh, Irish and Scottish (with surprisingly a little native Indian thrown in for good measure). So you can probably see why we are interested in visiting the UK.

We’d definitely want to stay in London for a while. I want to be able to afford to visit all the places that we’re interested in so we’ll be looking for fairly Cheap Hotels in London. There are so many things we’d love to see there such as Buckingham palace, Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, the London Aquarium and many other well known sites.

Then as I said earlier I’d want to visit Cardiff, to trace some of my ancestry. I’ll have to look into Cardiff Hotels or perhaps a nice little bed and breakfast. I actually think I’m more interested in going to Cardiff than London!

If we can have a long enough vacation I’d love to go to several places in the Uk such as Ireland, but if we don’t have a very long vacation we’ll stay mostly in the London area. Hopefully we’ll be able to visit Manchester and naturally find a great Manchester hotel to stay in. If we go to Manchester we’ll probably visit it’s many museums and perhaps take in a football game.

What countries, cities or sites are on your wish list to visit?

Metal Moooooose

How Canadian is that? A Moose! A Metal moose at that!

If you’ve been visiting my husband and I’s sites today you’ll notice that the photos are all from the same place. We went to an art show two weeks ago and we both loved the metal artwork the best.

Oh there was pottery, paintings, photographs (my nephew had a photo exhibit there!), sculptures, woodwork and many other types of art work but it was the metal artwork that fascinated us.

I think it was the moose that I saw first. Probably since it was the largest piece that the artist had at the show. It’s made out of a recovered oil tank.

I have a tiny front yard and this moose would take up the whole lawn area!

BTW sorry I’m late with my Photo Hunt photo!
