M and I were at Hallmark the other day and she came rushing over to me, so excited because she found the perfect ornaments for us, right beside each other. I said, “I bet mine is a shoe or a dress!…” Oh yeah, I am gooooood!
A pink Barbie shoe for me, and a blond Barbie on a horse for M.
We couldn't have planned it any better if we tried!
I saw this guy with his dog in the sidecar doing down 109 Street on Saturday.
George, my Serta Counting Sheep that has been in my window for probably 5 years has been evicted, and replaced with the giantmicrobes Mono, Chlamydia, and Polio.
Polio guards my prescription sunglasses. Stay away or he will get you! 
Yesterday i was walking to my car (not wearing my glasses) and from a block away I saw something green in the window. I thought, WTF! That better not be a ticket, because I know I still have 2 minutes left on the parking meter! I laughed to myself when I realised what it was. Oh, that’s not a ticket, it’s just my happy little toy Chlamydia!
Pictures of my new bedroom fish, Flakey. I hope I don’t have to tell him to keep it down so I can get some sleep.
I was shopping for a new keychain and when I saw this one, I knew it was for me. A keychain… that you can change the clothes on…!! That has my name written all over it. Oh yah, it’s pink too!!
And it’s for a good cause, raising Breast Cancer Awareness, with part of the proceeds being donated to Rethink Breast Cancer. www.keyringofhope.com
I have new lunch containers. I hope they will deter others from touching my lunch in the office fridge and at home.
Yesterday, I was in the gift shop at the Telus World of Science, when I saw a tag in a basket of stuffies that said “Ebola”. I laughed at the silly name for a snake. Then I reached for a purple round one with eyelashes: “Kissing Disease”. The sunny yellow one was “Herpes”. The happy green one was “Chlamydia”. The mean black one was “Polio”.
The toys were GIANT Microbes! The tags show the microscopic view of the actual microbe. How ingenious!! I wanted to take them all home with me! These 4 are my favourites:
Kissing Disease  | Herpes  |
Chlamydia  | Polio  |
As I was at the display, a guy and girl walked over and were talking about them. He was showing her one that he picked up, and I took that opportunity to offer him “Herpres”, which he willingly took from me. hehehe! I gave a stranger herpes.
I want to be a science teacher now, and have these little Microbes all over the classroom! They have a website so you can order these cuties online GIANTMicrobes .
Bad Breath  | Bookworm  |
Common Cold  | Ebola  |
E.Coli  | Egg Cell  |
Fat Cell  | Flesh Eating Disease (love the fork & knife!)  |
Lyme Disease  | Sperm Cell  |
Unfortunately, I left empty handed because they only had one pair of Easy Riders in my size and one leg was sewn shorter than the other! The jeans were only 32” to begin with so hemming them was out of the question and with heels on, the un-even leg length was so obvious even a man would notice it.
A stop at the GUESS store proved to be more productive. I tried on 2 pairs of jeans and went home with a pair of Alana Bootcut jeans! (pictured on the left)
I also totally love those shoes and want to track them down. I think they are the Cashy shoes (pictured below).
Pink measuring cups and spoons… I buy the pink kitchen stuff to try to motivate me to cook more. So far I would say that it isn’t working very well. Still, one day it may happen…
I visit the Town Shoes store on a regular basis, and I have seen their Barbie line of shoes (I want every pair!), but it was just today that I noticed the cut out for the toes is in the shape of a heart!
Virus problems at work are making for a very terrible day.

My new favourite song right now is Papillion, from the new album by The Editors, In This Light And On This Evening. Whenever I hear it, it makes me want to dance and sing!!!
Here’s the video:
M had a loose molar. It was hanging on by a thread before her dance class. Once we got home, it came out while she was eating her snack.
I stuck my finger into his cage to try to pet him. After a little bit, he turned himself so he was hanging upside down from his perch that was low to the cage’s floor. Next think I knew, he was on his back, feet in the air and not trying to get up. I was terrified that I had broken the $2000 bird!!
It was time to go and I said goodbye to Rex and walked away. He started chirping at me to come back. I walked back to the cage, opposite the side he was on and he came over to me for more attention. Again, when I walked away, he called after me. Awwww, Rex loved me too! I wanted to take him home soooooo bad.
My buddy Lacey and her boyfriend, Len, applied for a contest to go to Thailand and blog and tweet about their adventures!
When they are named semi-finalists, I will remind everyone to go vote to send Lacy and Len to Thailand!! http://ultimatethailandexplorers.com/
