Animal Love

I like to post things I find worthy of sharing. I received this from my dear Uncle via email and it made me laugh after a long day.

This is not for children. This is not for sexually sensitive adults.

View only if you enjoy a little crude humor, which I do. Make sure you have your sound up...its adds to the effect.

Things....

A couple of things I have been meaning to post about.

1) A new budding friendship. I guess its not really new anymore but still budding just the same. Last year, May-ish, I started talking on the phone with a fellow blogger. The conversations started monthly and have progressed slowly to weekly. Or on days like today, three times a day ;-) We can BS about nothing or discuss deeper topics. I think for the most part we are agreeable but I think we are getting comfortable enough to disagree with each other. Though our conversations sometimes fly all over the place, they flow easily and freely. I have great people in my life but it has been a really, really long time since I had a friend that was MY friend. Wasn't also friends with my sister. Or my husband. Or better friends with another close friend. I could go on and on but I will just say, "It's nice!" and I hope it continues down this path.

2) Another sweet, crafty blogger that is so generous to a practical stranger I just had to post about her. We met at Kingsway this week while I was in the city and she had made a beautiful baby gift for Tyson, that included a blanket, a crinkly toy blankie, and a fabric ball. And so the girls wouldn't feel left out (or because she just a crazy crafter ;-) )she made them dolly slings and diaper bags. She snuggled with Tyson why I shopped at Gymboree and spent my Gymbucks. After the shopping we went and sat in the food court and just chatted. We met once last year when again, she made my girls dolly diapers and dolly blankets, just for the hell of it. She is wonderfully frugal and witty and I hope we meet up again in the future. The only pitfall for this lovely woman is her love of pirates ;-) j/k!

I'm A Gummy Bear

Taken from another blog I follow. Guaranteed my kids will dancing around to this for days.

For all the kids out there (including myself), turn up the sound and dance your heart out!

I.C.E

I am not one that is crazy about silly forwards. I might have a quick glance but more often than not I simply delete. However I got this forward from my Aunt and I thought it was too good not to share. I will be putting ICE in my cell phone the next chance I get.

ICE - 'In Case of Emergency'
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign
The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell(mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' ( In Case Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as 'ICE.'
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Malanka Pictures

Some pictures from the night of Malanka. Most of these were taken by Adam with our little point and shoot. Its difficult to get that perfect picture with my SLR when I have a baby on the boob so its nice to have that little camera to just shoot with one hand.
