"I do Resolve to Blog more in 2010! It worked for 2009, so I'll have to work on that more. And I also resolve to find my resume I printed out 2yrs ago. "

Random Tuesday Thoughts, STill Christmas
We are still here celebrating our Christmas holidays. What? you don't like my new PJ's. I guess I should get some real clothes on? but really why? no one ever comes to visit us. Well you all do. Go on over and get a button and join in on the Random thoughts.
BTW I seriously wish the boys playing the wii would not mess with my wired connection. No excuse, they aren't even playing an online game.
SO Santa found my house and was very good to me, seems I didn't make the naughty list. YA! I got EA sports Active 2! GO ME! so I'll be trying that out soon. still new in box at the moment. hehe The family got mario Galaxy from the inlaws. SCORE! they are playing that now and messing with my internet connections.... "you are off line" NOT!
I'm still cat sitting. I didn't get to the clearing of the neighbours drive way but someone did. I feel like poo of course because we were going to do it. I don't know who did but there will be rocks all over their lawn I'm sure. Again I feel like poo...
Her cat wrote her an email last week... let me find it...
"That woman was here again, in the house and this time? Mommy! She stole
my poop! She took it all everything and I think she put it in Daddy's
garage. So now there's more water in my dish and more food in my dish.
She stole the oranges too!!! that whole bowl of tiny oranges I was
guarding? gone! then it got stranger Mommy, she started walking around
outside. She tried to decorate the planters in the front door way,(I
know they must have blown over in all that wind and Rain Monday night)
and there were foot steps everywhere. Mommy, she tired to put an orange
flip flop in the flower holders by the front door. I sat at the door and
just watched this because this is totally crazy Mommy. Are you sure you
left me with the right person? So the flip flop is not in the flowers
now and there are more footprints in the snow all over the place and you
would think she was born yesterday because THEN, yes only then did she
see the bag tied to the front door. She stole that too Mommy. I don't
know why she took it, (when you will get that back), it was jingling, it
sounded like gold bells. It might have been shinny but she didn't show
me and I was on the other side of the door.
So off she went and the last thing she stole? the newspaper and flyers?
I was going to look at those you know mommy I wanted to get you
something for Christmas but she took them.
I'll keep watching the house mommy, it's warm inside up here, probably
not as warm as where you are with A... and Daddy but I guess it will
do.
What do you think she's going to do when she comes for her next visit? "
I couldn't not share. LOL Seriously the cat was eyeballing me when I was rescuing the flowerholders from the front door way.
There goes the connection again. So what else did I get?? oh a Mop! yes I know exactly where my "place" is when I get a MOP for Christmas.... (roll eyes, yes I asked for it, yes it's a new appliance but not a mop on a stick hehhe steamer type mop, still scared to turn it on for fear I'll break it.)
We shoveled 2 driveways lastnight, and I'm sure there will be more before the new year. Why yes that was me in my pjs shoveling, I had my boots and coat on, you weren't susposed to be eying my tinkerbells so closely. What? you don't shovel in your pjs? What is wrong with everyone... (glitter everywhere)
Mr5 had a bad cold, holy phlegm batman! but he got it all up! really impressive, good muscles there boy...
Does anyone need any sweets? I baked, I sent out baking still no visitors... hmmmm maybe I should have gone to the island and brought my baking with me?
Turkey? yes we have turkey, 15.88lbs of Turkey were cooked for 2 adults and 3 children. 2/3 children turned their nose up in the air and ate Stocking candy instead or asked for PB toast. I refuse to cook anything but turkey because eventually they will like it. I did.
Stuffing/dressing really, turned out great. I put it in a casserole dish in the oven while I made the gravy. Yummy!
11yrolds think they are too cool for winter wear. HA! he's going to get the garbage cans now. YIKES that reminds me I should have put out the neighbours bin lastnight. MORE neighbour fail. :(
OK again what did I get? Slippers! 2 pair, gift cards for my favorite store. The parents got a new camera!Yay!
Oh Mr9 got Charades. I can't wait to play that! it's the travel version. Oh I bought myself a ring from Avon. I guess being a rep has some perks.
I guess that's all the random I can scoop up.So link up with Keely and tell us all your random get it all off your fingertips until next year...

The Island and Beach I miss
In August I posted a picture of hubbie and I at the beach on the island. It was a Wordless Wednesday Titled What I miss...
This was July/August. And now?
Borrowed from a FB group.. this was Christmas Day...
The Force of Nature is Great and Grand. It will take a lot to save this beach. I'm so very glad we had the chance to get there this past summer. We almost didn't have the time. We made the time and it was well worth it.

Merry Christmas from my house/Blog to yours!
The Stockings are hung on the sofa with care, in hopes that I've made the nice list for Santa to appear. YAY! I'm not sure about this nice list, but according to hubbie I may have made the "naughty" list. We took the kids to church tonight for the Mass of the bells. The priest does a wonderful job every Christmas eve. The kids had a good time, and the adults are tolerant of all the noise. They ring the bells every time the priest Says or they sing Gloria and it's beautiful.,
Since it's also Friday!!! Friday Fill-ins are here. Go on over and get yourself some Blanks to fill and join in the fun.
1. What in the world __is this box that I found under the bed? Maybe it's for me___.
2. __After this evening of dinner with friends we will be___ well fed.
3. Go _to sleep little ones, Santa will be here soon____.
4. __Best Wishes___ sent __to you all___.
5. I keep __wondering if I should be popping me open some Mike's Pink Lemonade? maybe after the kids actually go to sleep___.
6. __I haven't figured out if I'm nice___ or not.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to __Evening with Friends, time with hubbie, and Trying to catch Santa in my livingroom___, tomorrow my plans include __opening gifts with the kids and hubbie,snacking as we go, Turkey supper, ___ and Sunday, I want to ___get out butts to church again and relax for Boxing Day! hehe extra Canadian Holiday for the win__!
Now for my skill testing song list...

Random Tuesday, Randomly appearing in December
I'm not sure if you've noticed but every Tuesday just Randomly appears. Oh wait that's not the meaning of Random is it? Want the real meaning of Random? go link up and read and write yourself some Random Tuesday posts... here...
did you click it? are you coming back?
There was homework involved in that clicking did you see? now we have to send Christmas baking. I do hope that Canada Post doesn't eat what I sent. I'm sure they will.
Did you write your Santa Letter? yeah it's a Canadian thing cause well we're Canada We OWN the North Pole. Yep I've got Proof. Santa has a Canadian Postal Code. H0H 0H0. yep, it's true, I read it on the internet and before that in the news papers and heard it on the radio and my mom told me.
Don't listen to that Julie! she was telling some outlandish stories lastnight about Tinkerbell, Glitter, Santa, missing Bunnies and the toothfairy! DO not believe her, because Believe=Better presents!!
Speaking of Believe, I Believe I have to sell more Avon in 2011. Canadian Customers only.. ugh! I also Believe I'm going ot have to fork out $ for my own Avon Website. ugh! The thing about being self employed? you have to self fund.
Boys last week of school. At first I figured they were getting less Christmas but you know it's better this way because Christmas comes The Eve and Day, and I get more stuff done.
Baking some done, fudge? MIA! I'm pretty sure though my assets are bigger. But maybe not, I've been so go go go, I've not been eating as much, picking really, and my pants I bought first of the month, are a bit high waisted now.
Bummed a bit, some friends are visiting the island this Christmas. I wont get to see them because it's my year off from the island. It's much less rushy here. I've had 1 Holiday visitor so far, my cousin came to visit last week. We had ourselves a beer and chatting. The boys were entertaining. How many boys does it take to test Christmas lights? 3! Two to start it, and 1 oldest to come in and boss them around while the youngest gives up on the light and resorts to tacky Flashy thingys... this needs a pick, hang on the great Googly might help...
ACK! not even on great googly... I don't even know what they are called.
If you are a child of the 60-70-90s I'm sure you've seen them.
I just randomly left and wrapped a few things. now I have to go buy more to wrap. ugh! what's fun for a under 40yrold man? cause I'm stumped. I get so stuck on "useful" hahah.
I can't be the only person not finished right?
not to find the tape again and the pens, ugh! Darn elves never print the same...
Merry Christmas if I get too wrapped up here and don't get back before boxing day. yeah it's a holiday... hahaha Falalalalalala

VGN, It's Saturday, and I'm "in" tonight
Flixster - Share Movies
This woman had legs! Every time I see the movie, I notice that she had musles nad power in those legs. These women could walk on heals, flats or toes and never fumble a step? I'm lucking if I can keep my shoes on! when I wear heals.
Mom's break is soon coming to an end here the boys have stopped playing the drums in the basement and now its the "I don't want to go to bed..." arguments and stall tactics. You would think with only 1 week to Christmas they would try a little harder? nope! It's like it doesn't matter anymore. If only I had a coal mine in the back yard.
I think I'll pour myself a nice drink...Maybe some White Christmas?

Random Tuesday Posts Pretend it's Still Tuesday
Yes I know that it's 9minutes after midnight and Wednesday here in Kyootycenter but it's not yet Wednesday in Keely's world.
Happy Random Tuesday.
Today I got mail. Yep! And it wasn't a BILL!
Bill gets a lot of mail here but now it's Christmas cards and packages from friends. YAY!
Avon came today, it's been a run around the world kind of day. Must get some returns processed and some products charged since they arrived but weren't what I ordered. oops!
No Snow today, it was 10C today, so about 50F for you who don't read C.
The Abandon chair doesn't look so abandon, I didn't take pictures but it looked more like a pool party out there. I'm getting new neighbours so the lot behind us is causing some water to move into places that it doesn't usually live. ick!
We lost power lastnight but Thank you power supplies for keeping me online so I could listen Momspectives Blogtalk radioshow. (yikes she's already in Wednesday even though it's Tuesday in her world. I'm so behind)
Boys had the day off today, wayyyyyyyy too much rain. Roads were washed out, people without power. We went for a drive as a family. My hubbie is having his eyes tested. I'll bet you thought I was going to say teeth? He's got to get his prescriptions changed and exercise his eyeballs.
Snow? Remember when it used to snow in December? yeah I did last week, not this week.
Tonight I moved furniture. I think I have the tree location cleared out completely. Now to get the Tree out of it's box!
Happy Tuesday again, Link up..over there.
There is mention of baking there. I must go check it out... last week waffles this week baking... sounds domestic? Scary!

This week, I'm going to give you a choice of fill-ins OR a different kind of fill-in (or both).

Each Friday until Christmas Eve I'll post 9 more of these songs and if you'd like to play along, great!

3. Please bring __more cookies, and recipes, and your hunger, because I'm making more cookies. Also bring on the flour sales and Sugar sales too, oh and cherry sales would be a huge help___.
4. __Christmas this year is fun, I don't know why but some years it feels like it___ is so amazing.
5. One of my fondest hopes ___is that I'll get everything done before the 23rd which is the kids last day of school__.
6. _My boys are working hard this year____ and I just wanted to say thank you.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _making fudge and having the boys test it because we all know you can't bring "bad" fudge anywhere____, tomorrow my plans include __Judo tournament and getting lost in a town I've never driven in___ and Sunday, I want to __get Mass, sundayschool curling and resting all done in the same day, hahah did you see that resting... hahaha___!

Virtual Cookie exchange-Chocolate Chip or Cranberries and White Chocolate
OK Karen sent me a email today, full of holiday wishes and ideas! This right here is the idea. A Virtual Cookie Exchange. Here is the code for the buttons.
Now my coding skills are a bit off so I'm going to have to work on that, but in the meantime, RECIPE? right you all want the recipes?
In yesterday's Random Tuesday I was talking about Chocolate Chip cookies for My son's Curling potluck. If you've ever gotten an email from the Cookie countdown on Allrecipes? you've seen this before. It started as White Chocolate and Cranberry cookies. The recipe there asks for Brandy and if you saw me Friday night? well uh I drink Rum, and the boys they dont' drink yet. give it time, there are 8yrs to legal age for my oldest. ACK!
So here's my revised for us recipe...
Excuse the spots...
1/2 Cup Butter (I used margerine, cause that's what I had) softened
1/2 cup PACKED Brown sugar.
1/2 cup white sugar
1 Egg beaten
1 TBSP Brandy... replaced with 2TSP Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour(or replace 1/4 cup with whole wheat if you use them for kids lunches, then you can say YES my kids eat whole wheat cookies when the teacher asks about healthy choices)
1/2 TSP of Baking Soda (not sofa as I first typed)
1 cup Chocolate chips (ORRRRRRRRRR the 3/4 cup White chocolate chips and 1 cup dry cranberries, also yummy)
Cream the first 5 ingredients, and then add in the dry at the end. You can use a mixer but make sure it's got GOOD power. I have a tendency to ask Santa for Mixers for Christmas on about the 20th or 24th of December.....

Random Tuesday go go go day!
Alrighty, I'm sure you missed me last week? yes well say yes anyways.
Get a button... click, and random up,
I've done my clicking, I saw waffles, must go check that out in a bit. I just have to dump my random first.
It was a busy week last week as we prepared for a night out Friday. No kids. Shocking but we did it. We had a great time. Great company, and so great to see all the people we only seem to get to see once or twice a year.
Last time I saw some was Summer BBQ? That was a good time too. I wore the same top at last year's Christmas party but different earings. MIL gave me some AWESOME Saphireesque Studs and I wore them. I also brought out the Avon watch of course and my avon face. I was complimented on looking younger? so either the fat has moved into the wrinkles or the Face Creams are working? Yes the Face Creams are working. Please? buy yourself some. Canada please.
What else? I just got in from some stocking stuffer shopping. All candy in the house. NOW the goal here is for this stuff to last until the 25th when the kids open up their presents.
OH another great find? my son had a hat he loved, loved loved, warm over the ears with Long braids and fleece. I bought it last year, couldn't find one this year early in the season, was going to have to use last years. HE LOST it! 2wks ago. today? I found them again, I bought 3! He finds it does the best job when he's curling.
Speaking of curling, I have to bake for Sunday. I made some Chocolate chip cookies yestreday, I think I have to make another batch of something to go with, just incase, I'm the only one baking, there are 50kids!
Also must bake for church choir.
baked for bowling bake sale. must see what they need. I do like baking. will probably have to buy it all back to supply my Christmas baking? haha
Boys list are already getting longer, I've had to call the work shop twice this past week for "addons" yikes. We already sent out our letters,
Santa Claus
North Pole Canada

Got your letters out? he does write back...
Nose is running, YAY! it was stuffy F, S, S and M. YAY!
Snow day yesterday, yep, and it rained.
What do I want for Christmas? oh I'm so glad you asked? clothes and make up, and face cream and nail polish, and bubble bath. Oh look I can just clickity in the numbers and put your name on everything ThAnK You!
OK go read more randomers!
