Happy Mother's Day!!

Well Maaa, it has been another year! A year filled with a lot of laughter and some tears. I hope that you see us as more than just mother and daughter, but as friends as well. I do. We are lucky to have a relationship in these times when parents and children seem to be divided. We have been through a lot. You have been there for me every step of the way. So, thank you and I love you!
Frank made the sign all by himself. (you can tell)
We hope you have a good day! Thank you for being a great Mom!
Lots of love from the crazies in Bowmanville!

It's Caturday!!

Happy Caturday,y'all!! These were taken last night, he was sleeping. It looks like he is smiling in the second one!

The peas have sprouted!!

This is a pea sprout that I noticed yesterday. Looking good so far. There has been only one pea sprout, but the sun hasn't been out and about lately. It thunderstormed last night! The rain was crazy hard and the lightning lit up outside completely. It was awesome! I love thunderstorms. It is rainy and cold outside right now. I have to try and figure out something to cover those plants. Frank said that there was no way he was going to help with the gardening. So I told him there was no way that I was going to help with fat. He is on a strict diet. This morning he was allowed a plain rice cake, a blueberry and a glass of water. That's it. He is running on a little cat treadmill that I got him right now. He doesn't look happy. But being fit takes work.

Look at me!! Look at me!!

I have to brag! ‘Your shape’ made me do a fitness test the other night. I scored an A+, which is way better than the C I got last month. Keep in mind that it is based on what the camera sees, if you aren’t wearing the right colours or if the lighting is bad. But I think my energy level was up and I was really motivated to do a good job! So far I haven’t missed a workout, I have actually done more than scheduled. Of course I am resting my muscles. I have decided that I have to do yoga everyday. I tried the ‘Your shape’ yoga today. It was pretty good. I record a yoga program on t.v. called ‘Intimate Yoga’ with Sonia Dillion on Suntv. They are now playing episodes that I have already seen. I am bored with the show. I need something new. That is what is nice about ‘Your shape’ it is the same exercises or poses, I have a chance to master them, but in different sequences. I recommend it to people. It is a good idea. I haven’t tried ‘Wii Fit’, I have heard really good things. Maybe one day I will try that. Until then I have Jenny McCarthy and ‘Your shape’.

Dill sprouts!!

The dill sprouted! I am so excited!

Lovely Lilac!

Lilacs in a tea cup. Pretty! I cut a branch off the lilac tree in the front yard. There are now lilacs all over the house. Even by Frank's food dish! He likes the smell. I think they are a really pretty flower and they smell lovely.
Todays weather was a little schizo, cold and windy then warm and sunny. We had to go to Mosport race track to a auto shop there, James ordered some parts for the race car from there. Then we went for a drive. We enjoy going for drives. We noticed a lot of places for sale. James, just like my mother, enjoys looking at real estate. We aren't looking to buy, it is just fun to look. Window shop. I absolutely love going to open houses. Everyone thinks that is depressing, James gets depressed, I really enjoy seeing what is out there. Also it is practice for when we do look for another house.
Went food shopping, I am going to make shepherd's pie tomorrow. Also I am going to make a soup. I have to clean out the fridge and freezer. There is no room! After food shopping, James put carpet that we bought the other day into the van. I did some yoga and housework. And then we went to Red Lobster, or as the french say 'Lobster Rouge'!!!! I ate everything on my plate. I spent the rest of the night in pain. I was laying on the couch feeling like crap, so I forced myself to go for a walk. It felt good. Cool, fresh air. Now I am going to have a bath and then go to bed. I need to get up early tomorrow. Work out before James gets home, so I can blast dance music!
