whew found my usb cord for my printer, thought I had lost it again, in yet another move. a year ago when I moved I lost my usb cord, because I couldn't remember where I packed it, never did show up. This time I remember wrapping it up, putting in a place where I would never forget and promptly forgetting once I was moved and needing my usb cord. Last time I had to buy a new one, this time that wasnt an option so thank goodness we found the cord. It was packed in Arianna's duffle bag. Halloween was as hallowed as ever, we had about twenty five halloweeners and 123 chocolate bars later not to mention the ones the kids came home with. Next year I'm buying something that is good, like carrots, ha ha ha .

that strange little tickle in my ear is back, and no it is not someone elses romantic sweet whisperings in my ear, last time it turned out to be a nasty little infection that requried penicillin, perhaps if I over load on vit c and echinaccea I will be fine. Except oh joys of moving the good stuff is packed somewhere. oh where oh where could that be??

bought a house today, built in 1977, 918 sq ft bilevel with 1 1/2 car garage for $72,000.00. I sure do like Saskatchewan

An interesting dilema the undue button on Spider Solataire, cheating or learning from ones mistakes. hmmm (as you may have noticed I am deeply encroached in writing grants and proposals)

A new and interesting non profit org has found my little consulting company, and is looking for some organizational help and sourcing for funds. The Search and Rescue Associaiton is made up of trained, managed and well organized volunteers. With relatively little financial support. interesting, they work hard, save people's lives when possible yet are paid nothing. Oh and a professional hockey player works hard, saves peoples lives oops not and gets paid how much???!! It always seems to me that in the grand scheme of things our priorities are all wrong.

The seven wonders of Saskatchewan, oh did anyone mention three feet of snow in October!!!! moving, moving, moving, we are on the move again. But I am soooo busy with my own work, how to fit in a move, hmmmm. Oh well what needs to be done, shall be done.

what strange malady has infected my ears and throat, hangs on like the aliens in alien, pains me every time I swallow much akin to the pain one would feel if scratchy sand paper was rubbed down the inside of ones esophagus, lasting now for over four days, one must suppose at some point that the echanaccea and vitamin c are not working as usual in harmony and perhaps need either assistance from the penicillin family or a bottle brandy.

It would appear that no one in this group is particularly faithful to blogging these days. My personal space has been somewhat positive lately, I've been looking for a house with a suite so that I can live and work for free while someone else's money makes the mortgage payments. Apparently I may be able to go ahead with this, as CMHC seems to be more comfortable with my credit rating this time around, perhaps the difference from a 600 a month payment to a 380 a month payment has something to do with it. Arianna had a good day to day, or at least she didn't get beat up and she didnt have to phone me and make me rush home from work to give her and crystal a ride to school because crystal wouldnt listen to arianna. In reality all crystal needed was to go to the bathroom, then she went to school quite fine. Now that it is dark outside so much earlier, it is so much easier to convince Crystal that it is bedtime, low and behold in bed and asleep by 8 rather than 9.

caffeine addiction you say, I would certainly have to agree, symptoms including headache upon withdrawel, irritablity?? how about serious mental impairment leading to complete insanity. This from one who sometime waits in a Tim Horton's line up for the drive thru window behind 15 cars which cross at least one intersection and a curve. I wonder just how much caffeine is really in an extra large double double!!

hmmm, time for bed

Well, ok one proposal is off to spmc, the ywca research proposal is about 3/4 way done anddue by wed, the child care 2003 oultine and working paper of solutions tothe government is just starting and for the next three days I will be working from 4 to 6 on the extra accountng job I have. yuckkk, even 25 dollars an hour isnt enough to get excited about that.

Some television shows just should not be aired. CSI New York went a bit overboard to day, the premiere show was outlandish and disgusting. One has to wonder what goes on in the mind of the individual who wrote that??

Press conference tomorrow, In motion Saskatchewan, a nice way to say get your fa** As** of the couch and get physcially active. We are in the press conference because workplaces is one of the targets of this campaign. Apparently people who are at work are in a position to be bombarded with messages "a captive audience" I believe was the quote. Sounds a bit like the old participaction campaign of fifteen years ago. I suppose time will tell how effective it is.

Must be time to do the own company thing and manage that rather than someone else's business. THe possibilities these days seem abundant.

Value Village has made it to our city, yay. The grand opening was on thursday last week and I have had two major shopping trips there already. Halloween stuff and clothes for the kids and Gerald. I like Value Village.

I feel for the people who work in retail and work all day long until 6:oo pm. Normally I am done at 4 but the last few days i have had to work until 6, very annoying to say the least. 4 is much nicer at least there is some day left to do something with. Remind me to never work in retail

Well, I have been working extra hours, extra days, extra minutes, extra , extra extra, hmmmm hopefully the money will be extra good.

mmm, I can smell the roasting stuffed chicken in the oven. The smell is making me soooo hungry. Much different from yesterday when I was volunteered by my employer to sit on a hole in one at a golf tournament which could have appropriately been called a snow tournament. Brrrr. We bought Crystal new winter boots and a new winter coat today, something I usually manage to put off until late October.

Hmmm, seemed as though it was a long time since I have blogged, aha, then I remembered that I had attempted to blog yesterday, only to be foiled by my computer. Meet the teacher night tonight. We are registered in a "community school" this year. What that means for meet the teacher night is free food for parents and kis. Hot dogs and macaroni salad, just a way to increase the attendance by tempting parents with food. Apparently there are more programs, sports and recreation opportunities in a "community school" as well. School fees are also signifigantly less, hooray.

It has been sooo cold lately, what is up with that. Can't we have just a little bit more of summer.
