So, i have a question...

What do these three things have in common?
1) water
2) windows
3) girls gym pants in front of me in spinning class...

they are all see through!!! yes, that's right, the girl in front of me had black pants on, but they were soooo worn out you could see right through them. it was not enjoyable, i much much rather watch the hot guy's legs when hes in the class - where was he today!

I think i will buy some new gym pants soon just so that i can be sure to avoid a situation like this.

Happy Birthday Barbie


Happy 50th Birthday Barbie.


I don't understand how there is so much chaos over how "unrealistic" babie is and how she is a bad role model.

did you ever wonder where all the pink and blue horses were when you were driving by fields b/c you had my little ponies? - - likely not,bc you learned that they were TOYS and not realistic.

did you think your dogs were going to talk to you b/c you watched a Disney movie with talking animals? likely not...

and what about your dolls that had totally huge heads? they weren't real either.

I think that women that don't let their daughters play with barbies are the insecure messed up ones. i think normal mom's should teach their daughters the difference between real and make believe. if your daughter grows up thinking she should look like barbie, then you didn't do your job as a parent.

All of this talk about barbie being a 'bad role model' has irritated me enough that i just had to blog. I LOVED Barbie, and definately didn't think i was going to grow up to look like one - most likely b/c i was so hung up on becoming a purple cow when i grew up - but that has already been blogged about. lol

Driving and Talking

This is a great idea... i am definately a violator of this, and should probably invest in a handsfree headset. But this is good to keep in mind when travelling within Canada. we all know that the majority of cars pulled over in QC will likely have Ontario plates (oh the memories of having my car towed from a parking lot, or melissa getting a ticket while being passed by a truck pulling a boat... oh the memories of QC traffic tickets) but regardless... stop talking on my phone when in Quebec! :) :)

Tuesday, April 1, 2008

Quebec and Nova Scotia are hanging up on hand-held cellphones.

Starting today, both provinces have banned the use of hand-held cellphones while driving.

Motorists are still permitted to use hands-free devices.

Quebec provincial police say they will hand out warnings for the first three months. The fine in Quebec for using a hand-held cellphone while driving is around $100.

Canadarm Update

I wrote about this awhile back, upset that MDA was selling Radarsat-2 and the Canadarm to the US. I'm happy to see that this isn't going to happen without a bit of a fight.

Ruling on sale of Radarsat-2, Canadarm to U.S. arms maker delayed
Last Updated: Thursday, March 20, 2008 | 1:52 PM ET

The federal government is taking an extra 30 days before it makes a decision on the controversial proposed sale of the Radarsat-2 and the Canadarm technology to a U.S.-based arms maker.

Industry Minister Jim Prentice informed U.S.-based weapons and rocket manufacturer Alliant Techsystems, or ATK, on Thursday that he wouldn't meet the Saturday deadline to approve or reject the company's plan to acquire the satellite and space businesses of Richmond, B.C.,-based MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd., or MDA.

Prentice had until Saturday to review the $1.3-billion deal under rules of the Investment Canada Act.

Critics of the sale, including former Canadian Space Agency head Marc Garneau, had called on Prentice to block the deal, arguing it handed over taxpayer-funded technology and, in the case of Radarsat-2, gave away technology designed to protect Canada's sovereignty.
