I am not a cougar but a jaguar...

DONT'T TALK TO STRANGERS
 
She was a bottled blond
She had her sevens on
When I think about it now
Just a cougar on the prowl
She was hotter than hell
Had me under a spell
Got that ass doin' yoga
Didn't care that she's olda
Got off the stage
Ended up at her place
We were burning up the bed
Fire needed to be fed
Morning sun hit her face
Maggie May showed her age
I remembered what my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
(Don't talk to strangers)
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
like mamma said
Just like mamma said
and my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
(Don't talk to strangers)
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
like mamma said
Just like mamma said
and my mamma said
She likes them nice and young
She likes them fresh and hung...ry
With fire in her eyes
Let you try her on for size
Show you a trick or two
Teach you something new
Full of Bacardi and Botox
She's 40 and so hot
but the light of the day
Has something different to say
My head started to spin
When I saw he son walking in
I bet he felt like a fool,
Cause I knew him from school
I remembered what my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
(Don't talk to strangers)
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
Like mamma said
Just like mamma said
And my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
(Don't talk to strangers)
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
like mamma said
Just like mamma said
and my mamma said
Hey pretty lady it's crazy you're almost twice my age
I want to dance on your body the way I shake it on stage
Don't talk to strangers
(Don't talk to strangers)
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
like mamma said
just like mamma said
and my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
(Don't talk to strangers)
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
like mamma said
Just like mamma said
and my mamma said

THE CONCERT WAS AMAZING!!

AMAZING
 
Say a prayer, say a little common sense
Stay right there, stay right there in our defense
Give a little, bit, give a little bit more
Just a little bit, babe a little bit more
You're amazing, you're amazing and its true
No one can save me, no one can save me like you do
This is crazy, yeah its crazy but its true
So baby save, baby save me like you do
Stay away, stay, close enough to care
I love that name, yeah I see it everywhere
Can we get along, can we get along much more
Just a little bit, babe a little bit more
You're amazing. you're amazing and its true
No one can save me, no one can save me like you do
If this is crazy, yeah its crazy but its true
So baby save me, baby save me like you do
And when you found me I was barely breathing
You take my heart and you make it even
I'll be your strong side

And every part of me will never go back
Its what you started in me you better know I'm all yours...
So believe me when I say
You're amazing, you're amazing and its true.
No one can save me, so baby save me like you do
This is crazy, yeah its crazy but its true
Baby save me, baby, baby, save
You're amazing, you're amazing and its true
No one can save me, no one can save me like you do

Excuse the blogging, I have blogging diarrhea

 My favourite HEDLEY song:
 
 SWEATER SONG
She said baby don't leave
Be home, stay close, be close to me
Boy don't be gone, boy don't be gone
He said baby you know
I gotta run I gotta go
I won't be long, girl I won't be long
She said boy don't you flirt
And baby please just don't get hurt
And if you feel alone then here take my shirt
He said forever girl
I know you hate the weather girl
So maybe you should hold onto my sweater girl
Na na na,na na na na,na na (x2)
She ran picked up the phone
Said babe I miss you come back home
It can't be long, boy it can't be long
He said I hate this place
I miss your smile, I miss your face
I wrote a song, girl I wrote a song
She said you make me better boy
I just mailed you a letter boy
And oh so you know I'm still in your sweater boy
He said girl don't be hurt
I've sweat a lot and smell of dirt
But I think I'd feel naked without your shirt
Na na na,na na na na,na na (x2)
He said you're looking great
I'm home, I'm back, I couldn't wait
Girl way too long, that was way too long
She said get over here
I crave you close I need you near
Now play that song, boy play me our song
He said back to forever girl
Hope you endured the weather girl
Now all I wanna do is get you outta that sweater girl
She said I love the way you flirt
I'm so glad you didn't get hurt
Now let me see you naked without that shirt

Dear Diary: Please no puberty for my children, Thanks

This fall Daphne joined Girl Guides.  On the registration form it asked if she was aware of menstration?

I checked YES, but haven’t spoken to her about it yet!

It is not because I have a hard time speaking of such topics.  Believe me, I can and have gone into detail about my own (sharing the time I managed to put two tampons in ---TMI).  But the reason I hesitate to talk to my daughter about this HUGE life event is because it will take away part of her innocence.  She is so innocent.  She is my little girl.  Although nine may be considered early for some, it can happen.  My heart would break.  She is already growing and changing and these changes pull at my heart strings.

This is a little girl who was the Tooth fairy for Halloween and still believes in Santa.

I also want to be a parent that speaks openly about all things and want my kids to come to me about anything.  Now, I think my kids think I talk too much about some things.  I would rather talk than say nothing at all.

I will let you know how it goes.

Costco size but mini household...

So there are certain items I like to buy from Costco, bread, tortillas, milk, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, wild rice, etc but then there are items I buy and because we are a mini household ( I only have the kids 50% of the time) I have bought items that go bad. 

The big container of fresh spinach and the large jar of crushed garlic in oil.

For both of these I have to freeze at least half.


The garlic we placed in ice cube trays, froze it and then stored them in a tubberware container in the freezer.  I just take out what I need for cooking.



As for the spinach, again I freeze it in a Tubberware container or a Ziploc bag.  The leaves stay individually.  I use them in spaghetti sauce or in a smoothies.

Just thought I would share:)

PS if you do freeze the garlic use cheap dollar store ice cube trays because once they are used for the garlic you will never get the garlic smell out of them:( 
You could use them again for freezing homemade pesto hmmm.... another blog?
