Busy, Busy, Busy
I thought I would try Windows Live Writer, I read about it on a couple of blogs. So why not try it, so far so good.
I have been busy, still trying to unpack and organize at the same time.
Owen came to visit me yesterday it was so nice to see him. I really miss seeing him every day.
Ethan & Gavin spent the night here. I picked them up yesterday and brought them over for supper. Then we went for a walk and then watched “The Aristocats”. It was cute. Ethan recognized some of the voices from Disney’s “Robin Hood”. They went to bed pretty good, but oh my they were up early. I taught them how to play UNO and they had fun. Then off to McDonalds for lunch and playtime in the play area. Gavin wasn’t feeling very good and after about 10 minutes playing he wanted to go home.
Last night after Ethan & Gavin went to sleep, Amberley came over to play Settlers. Perry was in Cambridge for work. Owen won a game and Amberley won the last one.
We had a huge thunderstorm this afternoon. Unfortunately I missed most of it because I was napping (I was up very early with the boys.).
I went to renew my license sticker today, but found I out I need to have an emission test done on my car first. My licence was to be renewed last month, but I totally forgot about it. So I am praying that I won’t get pulled over tomorrow.
It was 2 months ago today that I moved to Chatham, and I am so glad I made the move. Other than not seeing Owen everyday and working less hours I am truly loving it here. I also miss my co-workers from the Sarnia store, but I still keep in touch with a lot of them on facebook.
Well have a good day everyone.
These are some random pictures I have taken at some point in time:

I'm Back
I am going to change the format of this blog temporarily. I am busy getting ready to move to Chatham. I am trying to get the my new place fixed up and painted and also trying to pack my current place. Plus I have to decide what I am going to do about my job. Do I get a transfer or look for a new job with a different company.
Amberley & Brittany
1988: Brittany & my dad
1987: Me & my sister Cathy
1997: Brittany & Amberley
1991: My family, Amberley, Brittany, Owen & Paul
Also Amberley is pregnant with baby #3. Perry has a temporary job at the Bruce in Tiverton, which is about 3 hours away from Chatham. So I am planning on going to Chatham once a week to help her out with Ethan & Gavin. So I am busy, busy, busy.
So for now I am going to just post pictures.

February's Only Post
It's February and I haven't posted at all this month.
I'll start out with the Feb. birthday's:
4th - Gavin's (my youngest grandson) 4th birthday
9th - Matthew (my nephew)
Earlier in the month I went to a lawyers so she could go over my separation papers, and to make sure I understood it all. I can't believe it's been a year since we separated.
Also earlier in the month on a Sat. I watched Ethan
& Gavin while their parents went tubing with friends. We had a wonderful time the boys were well behaved and fun. My mom came to help out. We had lunch at McDonalds, then they played in the toy area for about 40 minutes. We then went to Blockbuster to rent "Space Buddies" which had just come out. This was going to be for the evening, we planned on making it a movie night, with pj's and popcorn. It was fun. But they wanted one to watch in the afternoon, so I said they could get an older one, well let me tell you that was an adventure. When one of them would finally decide on one the other one didn't want it, and so on. Finally they agreed on "Sleeping Beauty", I don't usually let them watch movies with witches or whatever the bad woman was (Amberley & Perry don't either) but it took so long to
pick one, I relented. We did a craft and then while I was preparing supper they watched that movie. After supper and clean up, pj's were put on popcorn was made and we sat down to watch the movie and had a very pleasant evening.
Then the next day was Gavin's birthday party.
On the 10th I had breakfast with my friends from work. The Tuesday Girls. We ate at Smitty's today the food was good but there was no fruit, which we all like. We had a smaller group this month but we had a good visit.
Our friends from church came from New Mexico, I didn't get to spend a lot of time with them, but I enjoyed the time we did have together.
I found out some wonderful news last week, Amberley & Perry are going to have another baby. Gavin just turned 4, so they are out of the routine but are very happy about the little one. So am I.
I had a nice surprise on Wed. I was on my break when I heard "grandma" and there was Gavin, and the others were coming. They had planned on giving the boys a hotel experience, and found a hotel with an indoor pool in Port Huron, so they stopped in Sarnia on the way. I was getting off at 5 so they waited around so we could go out for supper together, we went to Boston Pizza. What a nice day.
I am now on vacation, apart from going to Chatham for church, Bible study and an afternoon at the Spa (Christmas present) I am not venturing far. I want to get my house cleaning caught up, and start to pack for my move to Chatham in July.
Yesterday I went to the post office in Port Huron to hand in my application for a passport. Everything went well, I was hoping picture was ok since it was taken here, so hopefully I will have it sometime in March. Now we have to go to London to get Owen's.
It is snowing again, I am so tired of snow and the winter.
When I talked to Brittany last time, she told me that she put a deposit down where her wedding is going to be next year. She is so excited about it. A wedding is exciting, I can't wait to see how beautiful she will look in her wedding dress, and Rain is wearing a tux with tails, so cute. It's going to be a wonderful day.
Well that is my month so far, busy and full, I am very blessed.

2009 - warning long post
This is my first post of 2009. I am glad to be bringing in a new year. I always think that when a new year starts, I can also start all over again. I don't usually make resolutions, because I am never able to keep them. But this year I feel like making a couple.
The first one and the most important is to get healthy and if I loose weight
in the process that would be a bonus. So I plan on meal planning, limit my snacking and as you may or may not know I stopped drinking Pepsi at home and at work (I will order it at a restaurant). I bought a book "The Dinner Fix" by Sandi Richard
of the "Fixing Dinner" Food Network program. She firmly believes in planning your meals, and cooking or chopping extra to use in another meal later in the week. I have enjoyed her program for awhile, now I plan on putting it into action. Also the book provides a complete grocery list for each meal for each week. The shopping lists are also on her website so you can print it out and take it to the store with you, just cross off the stuff you already have in your pantry.
The second one is to make my bank accounts healthy. I have always been an impulsive buyer, never saving for the items I wanted. So I am going to save before I buy. I also want to keep all my bills up to date. So this is my plan, I hope I can stick to both of them.
These are huge resolutions to keep, but can you imagine what my life will be like in Jan. 2010 if I stay on this path. I will be the little engine that could. I just have to stay positive in every situation.
I am thinking of joining
For more information about it go here.
I don't take pictures everyday and I am not on my blog everyday, so this is going to be a challenge for me. It would be nice to have an entry everyday, to look over it in a years time and see what my life was like on a daily basis. I know the premise is to take a picture of your own everyday, but like I said I just don't take my camera out everyday so some days will have no picture.
Now for the January birthday's:
My mom
Perry - my son-in-law
Rain - my grandson
Speaking of grandson's Ethan's birthday was Dec. 28 and I didn't mention him in last month's birthday list. I know what a bad grandma. Sorry Ethan.
I had a wonderful Christmas, it ended up being at Amberley's because of my cat's. My grandson Gavin has breathing difficulties after a few hours at my house. (I know I should get rid of them, but they need me) and also my brother is very allergic to them. So Amberley and Perry provided the house and I just brought all the food from my house to theirs. Everyone was there except for my niece Amy who is working in Spain right now. Missed you Amy. We played lots of games, a couple of new ones, one of the new ones was Seinfeld Scene It, it was fun but if you don't watch the show it's just a waste of time.
I worked until 3:30 on New Years Eve, then I went to Chatham to A & P's place. Later my mom, and nephew Logan (my mom had him for a week) and later my sister came. We played a couple games of...you guessed it, Settlers. We were so into the game we almost forgot to watch for 12:00 and 2009. Needless to say I did not win.
Then on New Years Day which was my mom's birthday, we called the family that lives in Chatham and went to Kelsey's for lunch. It ended up being 10 of us and we had a nice meal and a great visit.

Now back to everyday life and all that it can bring, just being positive.
Since I am trying to live a healthy life now, I put some words into tivo and one of the shows it recorded for me is called "You Are What You Eat"
just watch this show a couple of times and you will forever eat healthy. It is a British show and doesn't pussyfoot around things, she tells you exactly what's on her mind. Don't watch it if you like to eat, it will turn you off of your favourites.
I watched Rachel Rays
"30 Minute Meals" the other day, she made a Chicken Parm Pizza, it looked delicious. So I printed the recipe and bought all the ingredients and made it. Owen kept saying "that's a pizza". Anyway it turned out well except I didn't like the texture of the pizza crust with the topping. So I took all the topping off of the crust and put it in a pan added some tomato sauce and mixed it in with whole wheat pasta and it was much better.
Well I hope you have a wonderful New Year.
