I have been using the Smith Manoeuvre for some time; it works.
Also I am a Mortgage Broker and can help people set up the re-advanceable mortgage.
in addition I can show them exactly how much they will be paying down on their principal and the corresponding amount to re-advance

a) the cat alarm is broken
b) no whining prior to feeding
c) after the food hits the bowl, there is still no sign of the buggers
d) you have to bring the food to them to get them interested
e) Ricky doesn't eat all his food
f) Ricky doesn't eat Phoebe's leftover food
BTW, Ricky is currently sitting on a windowsill in full sun. Go figure.

- It's a bad idea to be painting outside on a day where the cotton fluff is flying everywhere and sticking to everything.
- Always look before putting your hand in the mailbox - especially during spider hatching season (EWWWWW! Markus save me).
- (I learned this by observing) Do not sing along to the music in your headphones when taking your lunchtime stroll through a residential neighbourhood. You will sound like a one person chinese opera.
I'm sure there's more things to learn today but I need a nap first.

Can you believe that there is sushi fabric out there?
Did I mention that I own a small piece of this already :)
So who needs a sushi quilt to make them hungry at night?
And for those who prefer their sushi a little more 3D, you can knit them, too.

So my crazy sister bought me some ugly ugly yarn awhile ago and after knitting a swatch, it still didn't inspire me. After reading a few knitting blogs, I decided that maybe if I change the colour of the yarn, I would be more inclined to create something.

Her name is Cassandra. She was born less than 24 hrs after my Mom arrived in Calgary - good timing, eh? Carmen's water broke at 5am and Cassandra arrived at 10:30am - all natural; no time for an epidural (sp?). Here is a link to some

One of the advantages (or in some cases, disadvantages) of having a day care right next door to work is that I could spend a lot of time looking out of my 6th floor window onto the play yard of Megan's day care center.
