Scream 4!

Yes, I am one of those freaks of the world who enjoys scary movies. (Even if I can't sleep for a solid week after I watch a good one...) And since I'm one of those freaks I thought I'd tell everyone about SCREAM 4!! Woooo!! The Scream fanatics of the world would have already known this movie was coming out a good year ago.....well same here. I knew about it but it's just getting so close to the opening day! I'm getting pumped up! It comes out April 15th for Canada. Sorry Americans, you'll have to google that one.
Here's the link to the trailer for Scream 4!

A Big Catch Up Post

So it's been awhile since I last wrote (or typed depending on how you look at it...) and so much has happened worth writing (typing haha) about!
First of all I got my license!! Apparently I "just squeaked by" according to my driver tester or whatever you want to call him. In fact I believe he used to be one of those old gangsters that had one of those gangster accents but that might be just me. Anyways I got it and thats all that matters!!! Now the only thing left is getting a car! haha. That'll be the day....
Also, I went to Mexico in February for a week to go build a school down there. That was the most amazing experience I have ever had. Seriously. We traveled down there on a bus all the way from Saskatchewan, Canada to the Baja area in Mexico. Needless to say, it was an extremely long trip. We slept on the floors of the bus. Most people thought that was the best place to sleep.....I highly disagree. The one time I slept down there I was claustrophobic.
When we got to Mexico we went to this place called La Bufadora near Ensanada. It's an outdoor market where people barter for their items. I was the WORST at that. Eventually though I figured it out and I got a bracelet down to two dollars. I was very proud of myself :)
When we started building the school there were so many kids who wanted to play with us! I loved it! You had no idea what they were telling you but it was so great to see all their smiling faces. I made this one little friend named Pedro. He would run up to me and then I would make a crazy face and he'd run away laughing. It was so cute. Then I would do an action like waving my arms and he would copy me. I loved little Pedro. He was like a little ray of sunshine :)
We finished the school in 3 days which is crazy! It was a two classroom school. I swear I have never painted so much in my life! Every piece that went on that school had to be painted....twice. It was crazy. Anyways, in the end I had such a contented feeling about it all. It was so worth it.
After Mexico, we had a fun day in Disneyland on our way home!! I got to hug Pluto! That was defineately one of the happiest moments of my life! haha. I went on California Screamin too. Just so everyone knows, that's the biggest rollercoaster in Disneyland. It was amazing! I had such a good trip it's unbelievable. There are so many stories I could tell but this is all I'll leave you with for now :)
Oh! One more thing! I got a small job at our church. I'm what I would like to call a cleanliness technician or a custodian in other words....but hey! It gets me $100 each month....so it's something.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

My Cooking Expertise!

Caesar Potatoes

Italian Chicken




Raspberry Dream Cups

  So I was cooking today. I'm pretty proud of it actually...it turned out way better than the Greek meal I cooked awhile ago....let's just say things were a little crispy...
I made Italian Chicken, Caesar potatoes and Raspberry Dream Cups. I got all these recipes from What's Cooking? magazine. I love that magazine!! It all looks so good.....I'm the kind of person that needs pictures with a recipe. It gives me an idea about what it's supposed to look like, which almost never happens. And no, the pictures above are from the magazine and not what I cooked. They looked completely different.....at least the dream cups did. Haha. But my meal tasted delicious and I guess that's what counts!

A Little Furry Surprise

So today I had to cut some dead branches off some of the trees in our ditch. My puppies had come along with me for moral support but soon abandoned it for a much more interesting puddle. I got right down to work and was about halfway done my job and just finishing cutting off a branch when this furry little thing ran across my feet! I screamed, accidently cut myself with the saw (not seriously) and literally ran up one of the trees! I probably could've avoided the whole fiasco if I had been watching the dogs because they were actually chasing it.....
Then my mom comes out wondering why in the world I was screaming. I told her and she just laughed and said she wasn't  scared of mice! I beg to differ!!! This isn't the first mouse incident I've had this year! (Go to my post, Things in the Peat Moss to read about my other one....)
So there I was stuck in this tree and not wanting to get down because I was afraid of a little mouse that was probably long gone. Eventually though I got down and finished the job. That was enough excitement for one day!

Cure to Sadness :)

I've been completley out of sorts for awhile and I need a way to brighten my day. I was so bad I was tripping over everything and embarrassing myself in front of everyone So I decided I'll wear bright socks and dance around the house and listen to happy songs. And when I say bright socks I mean rainbow-up-to-the-knee socks and when I say happy music I mean Lollipop by Cartoon in Motion,  Daylight by Grand and Happy by Never Shout Never. These songs and bright socks are the best therapy in the world! Try it sometime :)

My Little Addiction......

This game is my addiction. It's so simple and pointless but it entertains you for hours! I apologize in advance to anyone else who may get hooked on this game....
The Snake Game

Fall

Well since I didn't even realize fall has officially begun 7 days ago, it goes to show how much I really look at a calendar. But oh well! I could defineately tell fall was here without looking at the calendar.
The leaves on our trees were turning orange, red and yellow, the morning starts off with dew on the grass, the dogs start to shiver, everyone starts wearing hoodies again and a new season of modern family starts up! Speaking of modern family, I think it's my new show of the year! I love it! It's absolutely hilarious!
If you want to watch it go to this link: http://www.casttv.com/shows/modern-family

The Oval Office

Something has come to my attention thanks to Red River Interiors blog. (http://www.redriverinteriors.blogspot.com/) This might be coincidental or it might be planned. I really have no clue. But I think it's pretty hilarious!
Apparently in the Whitehouse, they have an "oval office". It's literally an oval with randomly places sofas and expensive little knick knacks. The funny part of this whole thing, to me, is the fact that the term "oval office" means bathroom. I have no idea if they planned it to be funny, or if it's all just one big coincidence! Kinda funny though!

Step Up 3D

Step Up 3D is the best movie I have ever seen! Go see it! NOW! haha But seriously. The fact that it's in 3D is even better so don't go see it in theaters unless it's in 3D! If you don't have a theater near you that shows 3D moves then you will travel to one that does. No questions asked. And if there is no possible way to see it in 3D than I guess you can see it normally. I guess. This movie made me love "Club Can't Handle Me" by Flo Rida. It is a great song!! Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgM3r8xKfGE&feature=av2e

I ♥ this Car!

This is the Ford Fiesta!! I love it so much! And seeing as how I'm getting my license next year.....haha keep dreaming. I love the color too! It's between this and the lime green one. It has Sync technology of course, fold-down outside mirrors, nice exterior, nice interior, and pretty much everything! Go to http://www.fiesta.ford.eu/ if you want to see more!

Dancing with the Stars

So this year on Dancing with the Stars I'm cheering for Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (that's a doozy of a name). They've done pretty decent so far and I'm expecting big things from now on! Haha....like I know what I'm talking about! Even though Erin has received death threats for her being on Dancing with the Stars (http://tinyurl.com/yzkqxrr) she's still staying on. No need to fear though, the FBI is on the case. (Wow, how corny am I?) I would defineately vote for them if it weren't for the small fact that I live in Canada.

Record Breaking for Canada!

So in the end, Canada won 14 gold medals at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics along with various amounts of silver and bronze medals as well. This amount of gold medals won by Canada is the most EVER in the history of the Winter Olympics!! Also, it has beaten the record for Most Medals Set by a Host Country. GO CANADA!
If you want to view the videos for the gold medal performances go to http://www.ctvolympics.ca/ and go to videos.

I ♥ Fuze

These drinks are SO good! I am addicted to them! Not only are they good amazing for you, they taste delicious! They come in four categories: Refresh, Slenderize, Tea and Vitalize. Refresh is a way of refreshing your daily intake of vitamins. Personally, I like Banana Colada the best...Slenderize is a low carb version of the drink and tea is exactly what it says, tea. Whether it be green tea or white tea. Finally, Vitalize is a form of energy drink. These taste so great and are so good for you so I have to recommend you try them!!! Oh and go to their website, it's got sound effects and everything :)

Earthquake in Haiti

This is a long overdue post. As most of us know Haiti has undergone a HUGE earthquake and needs our help. It is an absolute tragedy in saying this but many people are homeless and starving. Anything you or anyone else you know can give, will help. It doesn't matter if it's ten dollars or one hundred dollars, every penny counts. Help the people of Haiti. I have a link to a very trusted source of donation, World Vision International. In fact, I have participated in their 30 hour famine which always a good way to donate to third world countries. Also, we have a sponsor child from their organization. So, if you want to give some family in Haiti some hope then donate at the link below :) You can also use the link on my sidebar to donate as well.

My Plan

So I have this idea that I'm going to cook supper sometime this week. Knowing my non-skills at cooking this could turn out really bad or really good. The recipes are easy enough. I got them from one of my new favorite websites, www.startcooking.com. :)
This website is packed full of easy recipes for all of us who are cooking impaired.
Well anywho, back to my master plan. I'm going to cook chicken fajitas, stuffed mushrooms, and chocolate fudge brownies! Mmmm....I presented all the ingriedients to my mom who keeps telling me "Oh, you won't need that" or "We can use this instead". Well, no mom. I'm determined to go by the book for this little cooking adventure. And just between you and me I'm going to check her list later just to make sure she didn't make any "substitutions". ;)

Father's Then and Now

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there! Here's what father's did in the 1900's compared to now. Hope it brightens your day! (I dedicate this post to my dad!)


In 1900, a father's horsepower meant his horses.Today, it's the size of his minivan.

In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family's head, he was a success.Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And that's just the vacation home.

In 1900, a father waited for the doctor to tell him when the baby arrived.Today, a father must wear a smock, know how to breathe, and make sure film is in the video camera.

In 1900, fathers passed on clothing to their sons.Today, kids wouldn't touch Dad's clothes if they were sliding naked down an icicle.

In 1900, fathers could count on children to join the family business.Today, fathers pray their kids will soon come home from college long enough to teach them how to work the computer and set the VCR.

In 1900, fathers shook their children gently and whispered, "Wake up, it's time for school."Today, kids shake their fathers violently at 4 a.m., shouting: "Wake up, it's time for hockey practice."

In 1900, a father came home from work to find his wife and children at the supper table.Today, a father comes home to a note: "Jimmy's at baseball, Cindy's at gymnastics, I'm at adult-Ed, Pizza in fridge."

In 1900, fathers and sons would have heart-to-heart conversations while fishing in a stream.Today, fathers pluck the headphones off their sons' ears and shout, "WHEN YOU HAVE A MINUTE.."
In 1900, a father gave a pencil box for Christmas, and the kid was all smiles.Today, a father spends $800 at Toys 'R' Us, and the kid screams: "I wanted Sega!"

In 1900, if a father had breakfast in bed, it was eggs and bacon and ham and potatoes.Today, it's Special K, soy milk, dry toast and a lecture on cholesterol.

In 1900, a Father's Day gift would be a hand tool.Today, he'll get a digital organizer.

In 1900, a happy meal was when Father shared funny stories around the table.Today, a happy meal is what Dad buys at McDonald's.

In 1900, a father was involved if he spanked the kid now and then.Today, a father's involved only if he coaches Little League and organizes Boy Scouts and car pools.

In 1900, when fathers entered the room, children often rose to attention.Today, kids glance up and grunt, "Dad, you're invading my space."

Thanks to http://www.ahajokes.com/ for the great jokes! Happy Father's Day everybody!

New Moon the Movie!

Of course, everyone has heard about New Moon coming out in theaters! But for the people that haven't...guess what? It is! And for the people who have no idea what I'm talking about (which is probably very few) it's a movie based on Stephanie Meyer's popular teen fiction series on vampires! The other day I went to a movie at the theater and there it was! The movie poster where everyone could see it! I stood there for quite awhile just staring at it. Here is a link to the official New Moon trailer if you haven't seen it yet:
