Canceled due to illness

September 15, 2007 by Tricia

Well I didn’t end up going out of town to the surprise Anniversary party.

I had a massively horrible headache all last night that didn’t give up the ghost until about five in the morning. I probably just about killed my liver taking Tylenol yesterday. Hey maybe I did hurt my stomach, ’cause it started to act up worse than normal by about 11 pm so I was contending with my headache/ migraine and abdominal pain at the same time and into the night.

Needless to say I really didn’t get any sleep so I could see going out of town to a surprise party that might not even happening!

At about 11 am Chris called his sister to see what the plan was for later in the day. Since I wasn’t going to Brantford he’d decided to go a bit earlier and clean out the eaves troves for his parents since they’d asked him to do it a couple weeks before. Chris’ sister couldn’t talk long when he called because she was cooking a turkey and a roast for the small party!

Hey … this was supposed to be an afternoon party with finger foods.

I mean, our friends didn’t even know about the party and I’m pretty sure the reason it was supposed to just be a small late afternoon party was because Jan had to work in the evening or do a night shift at the Casino. So now she’s going to go to work with a big meal of turkey in her belly and probably fall asleep at work? LOL Maybe.

I just hope that Jan really isn’t greeting them at the door dressed in lingerie or something right about now …

Another out of town party to go to

September 14, 2007 by Tricia

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?

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

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

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?

The barn in the Meadow

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

Don’t you love old barns?

I took this photo last year when we were driving from Ottawa back to Toronto. We’d been on a visit to Ottawa to attend a birthday party for one of my aunts and as we drove home we just had to stop and take a few photos of the lovely scenery along the way.

I’m from Ottawa and now that my parents are gone we don’t get out that way very often anymore. One of my brothers still lives there, but he seems to come here more than we go there.

Canceled due to illness

Another out of town party to go to
