I used this website to do my will.  If your "stuff" isn't too complicated it is really easy to use.

Dude, thanx man!

I would like to thank whoever takes the stuff from the end of my driveway. 
 
Like the guy who took the bedframe, some metal collector? 
 
And especially the guys who took my dishwasher. 
 
 Put it out on a Friday night and early Saturday morn it was gone:)
 
Someone else's junk, is someone's treasure!

Great Run Great Cause!


Here are my running buddies!  We had a great run.  I had my best time for a 5k!  So many people there for such a great cause.  They have come so far since Mom.

Thank You

I would just like to thank everyone who sponsored me.  I raised close to $700.  I will be running with Noelle and my friend Manon tomorrow, rain or shine.  It is always an emotional race for me, just to see all the people.


 
 
Thank You!

What I am wearing...

So I have stopped shopping for clothing. After the shoe purchase at the Brown's Outlet I have not bought any clothing items.

I could easily buy something every day if it were financially feasible.  I love fashion. 

But I have a lot of clothing.  So I am wearing what I have.  I do not "need" anything more.  I vow not to purchase anything else until after the holidays and even then it will only be if I have a gift certificate to a clothing store:)  oh but what if I need something for a holiday party?  Well I will borrow.  So I may show up in your closet soon! Thx

Fun Freebie



So here are some pics from Remic Rapids off the John A Macdonald Parkway.  I am embarrassed to say that I do not remember ever visiting this place. The kids, my niece Layla and I had a great time!  The sculptures are amazing.

Future Project

So my front steps are an embarrassment and need a lot of work.  Looking for any recommendations of companies that would be able to fix it.  It is just one project I do not think I can do myself.  Someone actually tried twice and it just didn't work:(  I have also considered running a sisal outdoor rug down the centre?? But have no idea where to purchase such a long one...

Any recommendations would be much appreciated:)
