Holmes on Homes

Some of you already know my sad obsession with Mike Holmes... I can't help it, a man with a tool belt that fixes houses, that is SEXY! The only thing better is a man in a suit. I have become obsessed with this tv show. I now know all about building a deck "to code", how to put in kitchen cabinets, what should be vented to where... its SAD! BUT thats not the point of this story... the point is... My cousin's wife works for Nestle and Mike is the new face for Nestle!!! and she is going to get me a big lifesize poster board of him! yeah, i'm a loser, but your a loser b/c your still reading about how dreamy i think mike holmes is! :) :) so we're even!!!

Another thing from the weekend, my cousin owns crocs... and apparently he is going to fix the family xmas pool so that he gets me and he plans to buy me crocs, but not just any old pair of crocs, he plans to buy me FAKE crocs! I will have to get back to you on that one!!!

Stay tuned!

Stories from today...

Hey everyone! :) :) welcome back to those of you still finding this blog worthwhile and interesting.

Today's blog will not really have any specific theme, its instead going to be scattered all over the place b/c thats how i have been feeling lately.... like a scatterbrain.

First i have to say how much i loved the new show Ugly Betty. It was Fabulous! This season has some great shows. As suspected Top Model makes the list of favs. My top 4 for ANTM are currently the twins, the punk rock girl and brooke. But its still early, so we'll see if that changes.

My inner thighs hurt - - MIND OUT OF GUTTER - - its from the gym. now that soccer coaching is over for the winter, I have gotten back into the gym thing more regularly, and well that "thigh compressor machine thing" - - definately worked!!!

And speaking of the gym. I had some of my jeans tailored, my sister recommended stich-it at bayshore, and i picked up my jeans and they did a great job! they did little darts at the back to take in the waist. they look great! will def sport a pair of those out on Elgin street this weekend for Tanya's Bday.

I tried to post this wicked dancing cartoon cow movie clip today... but i wasn't sure how to do it :( so you'll have to make due with this boring blog for today.

TA

What a waste of good weed!

My friend Allan brought this article to my attention. And since I just went to a polish wedding, (and b/c its about a cow) I thought it was blog-worthy. I don't know the correct spelling but i do know that "weed" in Polish is "trava". This is a word that Dominik and I thought was important to learn when he was teaching me key phrases and words back in university. Anyways... here is the article about a Polish lady that was getting her cows high in order to calm their nerves.

Ganja cowWARSAW, (Reuters) - A Polish woman who grew marijuana to calm the nerves of her cow has been charged with cultivating a narcotic by police in the western town of Lobez.

The cow had been "skittish and unruly" -- once breaking a person's arm -- until someone suggested mixing cannabis in with its feed, the woman told police.

"The cow became as calm as a lamb," the 55-year-old woman said, according to the PAP news agency.

The woman's plants, grown from seeds she bought at a market, reached nearly three metres (yards) tall and were extremely potent, police said.

Marijuana (ganja) possession is a crime throughout Poland. The woman faces up to three years in jail if convicted.

Kidney Failure

This posting is a bit more serious than my past posts. But I wanted to share this Radio Interview with you. My co-worker’s wife was on 580 CFRA this morning talking about her experience with kidney disease. She has had 4 transplants since 1979 all because of a case of strep throat. My Great Uncle has also spent many years on dialysis waiting for a new kidney, his problems were caused by diabetes, and he is losing his battle. Anyways, check out the interview if you’re interested. For more info on the Kidney Foundation please visit their website www.kidney.ca.

My friend Dan...

Today's first story is about Dan (i have a few stories... will tell them later, and get onto discussing the comments). Some of you know my friend Dan (in the picture with me and my sis)... he is a fun guy, met him in highschool... think he was in my art class, or maybe Terry was in my art class and dan was just a drifter that hung out in our class... not totally sure, but anyways... dan is my friend, he was my prom date, and I will be visiting him (and tonnes of other peeps) out in Vancouver NEXT WEEK!!!!!... but that is not the story... the story is about drunk dialing..... you know what i'm talking about.... drunk phone calls at ungodly hours.

WELL, big shout out to my buddy who decided to drunk dial me at 5:45 on saturday morning... usually you would say friday night, but since it was soooo close to morning i think its safe to say 'morning '.

It was an entertaining call though (dan - you were a few days late on the 'talk like a pirate day'... but i do appreciate the attempt!).

My question for people is, how many of you drunk dial? any great stories to comment on? I myself am a drunk dialer... I was notorious for this back in the day (my appolagies to ian who probably got it the worst), it has calmed down a bit... however, i do miss those days, perhaps i'll do a little drunk dial revival this weekend... we'll see. It is a bday night on saturday, and i think tanya, the bday girl, and I will be able to think of someone to call after the bar.

till later... ... I have a pirate video to post, a story about a polish lady that gave her cows weed, and of course the skinny jeans that i promised to talk about.

Teri Anne :) :)
