GUESS WHO?

Blonde Cookbook

MONDAY: It's fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.
TUESDAY: Tom wanted fruit salad for supper.The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home for supper.
WEDNESDAY: A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any.
THURSDAY: Today Tom asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Tom asked me why I was rolling around in the garden.
FRIDAY: I found an easy recipe for cookies.It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it.There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.
SATURDAY: Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday (oh boy).For some reason Tom keeps counting to ten.
SUNDAY: Tom's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was hamburger.Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger,much to my disappointment.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with chocolate moose.

Here he is....

It's a Boy!

SSSShhhhhhhh....Don't tell the kids, it's a secret, Warren and I have decided to adopt............a dog! His name is Prince, a 10 month old Springer Spaniel. He'll be arriving tomorrow or Thursday. Hopefully will post some pics.
Later

A Post for Heidi

Heidi, since you cannot read your comments or comment on other peoples blogs here is a suggestion. Disclaimer-I am soooooo technologically challenged that this may not have anything to do with your problem, but worth a try.
I wasn't able to post any comments yesterday. Frustrating after you take the time to comment then it won't post. Well, I was reading someone elses blog and they were explaining about getting the new betablogger thing. You go to www.blogger.com homepage then look for (somewhere on the upper righthand side of the page) blogger in beta or betablogger. Once you switch over to that you should be fine-hopefully. Don't quit blogging! We enjoy reading it all the way over here in NB.

A Busy Summer

A lot has been happening since my last post 3 months ago. Our highlight was going to BC in July/Aug. for 2 weeks to visit Warren's family. We have many pictures to post eventually. It seems like every weekend we were busy, not much backyard time this summer. The long weekend in August Warren & I went to see BARENAKED LADIES-Only the #1 band I have been wanting to see since I was a teenager!!!!! It was an outdoor concert in PEI. It was a bring your own chair thing so there was no way to book a close seat, but we got there enough in advance that we were in about the fifth row from the stage. The stage was really close to us. Lots of fun. We also went to see the Dixie Chicks in Saint John a few weeks ago. They were pretty good, but not as exciting as I thought it was going to be. I think after seeing Faith & Tim nothing seems as well put together. The BNL's are doing a cross Canada tour in 07 and are coming to SJ in Feb so I can't wait to see them again.
Lauryn started grade 1 french immersion last week. She likes it so far. Brooke starts preschool tomorrow for one day a week.
Tomorrow night I am going with a bunch of girls to the CCMA's(Canadian Country Music Awards) in SJ. They will be broadcast live on CBC. We were told that where our seats are will be behind the performers so we will be seen on TV. So.....if anyone is watching them tomorrow night you might see me! There's even a list of rules to follow, like no eating or drinking-only during commercial break, bring your spouse or someone you can be seen in public with, I guess if someone is taking someone that isn't there spouse they might get caught on tape?
Congrats to Jeff, Kristy, & Hayley on expecting a new baby! I will say goodbye for now before this becomes a novel. Besides, I want to read the other blogs!

It's hard to see this pic but for the last song they sang a duet sitting in chairs facing each other with and old fashioned mike in between them with their hands on each others knees. It was so beautiful and romantic!

Here is the awesome stage.

Faith Hill singing, you can see her face up on the screen.

At the concert. If you strain your eyes and use your imagination you can see that Faith Hill is on the left and Tim McGraw is on the right.

BOSTON

Our cabbie, Ray. He took us to the concert and picked us up!

After shopping and much primping.....

This is before some serious speed shopping and a crazy cab ride.

We were a little early getting to the hotel so here we are waiting to check in.

Our fearless driver Phyllis!

Here we are driving to Boston!

LAURYN LOSES HER FIRST TOOTH !

Well, I guess the title speaks for itself! Lauryn is growing up. She lost a bottom tooth. The tooth fairy left a toonie and an american dollar bill. Usually the tooth fairy only uses her debit card so she had to make do with what she had in the ashtray of her van, I mean magic flying tooth fairy mobile. Ash, Binky and A said that was cheap of the toothfairy for a first tooth, but Lauryn was happy with that! I will be leaving for Boston in 4 MORE SLEEPS!!!! Well, I'm going to have to get a second job because I bought tickets last week for the BARENAKED LADIES! I'm as excited to see them as I am Faith & Tim. They are playing in Charlottetown on the long weekend in Aug. just when we get back from BC. Then yesterday I found out the tickets go on sale at Har. Stn in Saint John on the 24th for the DIXIE CHICKS! Yeah, they are quite expensive so I will try to win them from the radio stn. that is giving them away. I need to think of a story of something that has happened to me and be the right caller. We'll see...Getting an eyebrow wax on Fri. to get ready for Faith & Tim. I don't want them to see me all furry. Lauryn is finished Kindergarten on Fri. She's excited to not have any more homework for a while, actually I'm more excited than her! Brooke is certainly growing up. Her vocabulary is very extensive now. She is a mocking bird. A couple of weeks ago she stubbed her toe on the door frame. She looked down and said, "Owe, damn it!" Warren and I said "What?!?" She took off running so we knew she knew that she shouldn't have said that. We had a good laugh. Later we asked her where she had heard that word and she said, "Mommy says it!" I don't think I do, but anyways, she is like a sponge soaking every word and action up! FUN!!!! Gotta get back to my desk mountain and weed through what I have been putting off.

Well, here it is.....a post!

Well, I will first start by saying that I didn't get to the Antiques Roadshow. The van decided that it needed a transmission instead. However, since I had already booked someone to work I went to Bangor on an impromtu shopping trip.
Mother's Day started with breakfast in bed. After church we went for a bike ride with my new bike that I got for Mother's Day. Warren had to pull both kids in the bike trailer. They really fill it up now. Next year Lauryn will have to learn to ride by herself!
Now for some exciting news.....I am going to Boston in 23 more days to see Faith Hill & Tim McGraw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooo excited. I would be happy to see one or the other so seeing them together is way beyond exciting. What am I going to wear??? This definately calls for a new outfit.
Congrats to all the cousins on Warren's side that are pregnant or have just had babies! And especially to Bonnie, Cam and Kelsey on the arrival of Leah! We booked our tickets so we will see you all in July.
Since it is Friday, I should get back to work. K
