SUMMER DAY 1

well it is offically the first day the kids have had off from school. luckally i have the day off too. i worry about them being alone as the sibling fights get started early. i have had to intervene twice already and it is just after noon! i need to work on a list of things for them to do.........both in the chore department and fun department. summer is stress for any family where both parents have to work. hopefully i won the lottery....should check my numbers.

the kids have been working on a fort in the small cluster of trees not too far from our house. they took us for a tour on the weekend. reminds me of the "houses" i had in my grandparents bushes when i was their age. they even made a name and found a piece of drywall in the garbage bin by an in-progress house to paint the name on. they had a lot of thought in their name....as 5 boys have been working on it.. Ethan, Liam, Daniel, Jordan, and Drew....they decided to call their fort "LEDJE" (peonounced ledge)..........using the first lettrs of their names. was proud of them for that.

the last day of june.............WOW what a wet one it was.......my highschool friend, Kim, birthday is today! hoepfully i remember to call her!

another hot day today.......i would love to just sit, read and lay around.......why is it we have a hard time doing that when we are at home?? chores.......a single word to sum it up........but cannot we have a few days to just be??? i think i will just be and do anything i want today.......after i do the ironing and make the spred sheet of chores for the kids!!!

other than that my random thoughts have yet to show up today! we had a nice dinner party with jasons best freind Jamie and his fiance Robyn yesterday! their wedding is in 26 days! guess i need an outfit..........(are you ready for another shopping day stacey??)

A SABER WEEK IN RANDOM REVIEW

well, where has this week gone?? so fast. really the kids are done school today, but since mine choose not to go for the last day, which was just 2 hours, i guess their last day was yesterday.

Monday, another busy day at work, then off to the parents vs kids baseball game. SO FUN! i tired most positions....outfield, pitcher....which might be more approperatly named "target practice" for me as i seemed to aim for the kids alot!, backcatching.....which is way too much work, then back to outfield........as really, lets be honest, how many 9 & 10 year olds can hit it into the "outfield"??? which left me ample time to chit chat with the fellow mother outfielders!
what i learnt at work today......allergies to wheat can cause constipation and bloating.....could i have this??

Tuesday.........a day filled with many different activities.....droped Freda Ford off at the mechanics, had stacey pick me up, had yet another full day at work, then home to get ready for Ethan's spring concert. i may be a little grouchy about this and tend to over react, but after all, this is about venting randomly,....................what is with haveing 2 concerts to go to in a year? isn't christmas enough?? and why do we have to pay to get in to see our kids show us what they learn at school.........where we already pay taxes so the government can build the schools, and pay the teachers, and also where we already pay school fees??? i think that we should be able to enter for free since we are forced to endure the painfull act of being the supportive parent and watch the "play". ......(that was not so saber!)

wednesday..........more approperatly "WACKY WEDNESDAY".........BROUGHT TO US BY THE LETTER "W"............we wore white while working..........brought food that starts with "W"..it made our brains think! we had the following "W" foods:
1. wagon wheels
2. wontons
3. wings
4. werthers
5. wraps
6. white chocolate chip cookies
7. watermelon
8. worms
9. weiners
missing from our buffet was waffles, wine, wiskey, and western sushi with wasabi.

thursday..........let me just say that we are ALL glad that thursday is over!!! i was the acting receptionist............heavy on the acting,........which should be proceeded by the word "BAD"....
i hate hate hate being the receptionist! and i think the stylists hate hate hate having me as the receptionist!! let me just say "thank-you" to our receptionists.........and let it be known next international receptionist day you will be recieving a gift from me!
highlites to yesterday..........mimi had a walk in hottie that made her stutter for the rest of the day over the fact he could say her real name, and is from a family of 7 boys!! and martin bones was in................................................................................................(sigh) plus i got to style one head of hair.

sobies also opened today! i makes me excited.........which makes my sexy chef of a husband confused...............i just said " what ever makes you happy makes me happy!" really he has a point....i don't cook so why should it make me excited??? i guess for the same reason my kids like the new store..........it is also a limilted supply pet store.........they have crab or lobster at the moment. we are eagerly waiting the arrival of bunnies, cats and dogs.........we think they will show up in the international isle!

the other funny thing that happened yesterday...........i went to buy an enema...yeah i know, too much information.....but it was the only item i bought, and when the girl handed me the bag she smiled and said "have fun"...........................

some other random thoughts.....................................

was wondering how we are supposed to find our "higher purpose" while god made us have to fill our days with mundane acts like............eating, cooking, breathing, peeing, pooping, laundry, washing our bodies, shaving, mothering(that list is too long to itemize), being a sex kittin, toothfairy, santa, defender-of-evil, employee, wife(again a list too long to itemize), sleeping, etc..
they say if you "listen" you will hear the signs of what to do. i think i have so many people talking that i am getting the message confused!

funny thing i heard this week.............i told stacey that what she was doing "wasn't the sacred heart way"............she said "then you misunderstood me"!!

tanya out!

A SATURDAY WITH NO PLANS GETS THINGS DONE!!

well we had nothing "offically" booked for us to do today. I love those days, mostly because they are few and far between! this weekend has been off to a good start. Friday with the kids baseball game.....where they did great, but more importantly we tried a new flavor of spits...chilie lime...i think i speak for us all when i say "YUMMY!"
then it was out to Staceys for a couples get together. i love those, as it is fun and you don't feel guilty for "being out". thanks again stacey! it is also great when my kids are able to be there, and feel like questioning me about "MOONING" and asking if i was "DRUNK"........good times!

today was a day of taking charge..........as you may know i struggle with my house. and there is 3 things about that that drive me nuts! 1. i cannot figure out why or seem to solve the problem. 2. i hate saying "i hate my house". i feel like a spoiled bratt, and i overall try not to be negative. 3. because off all this i am hesitant to invite people over.
so i set out to change that today. i emptied out my living room completely. washed the floor and then just sat there for a while. i rearranged the furnature..........AGAIN! but think i have it in a way that may stay for a while.
i won womans group so that ment i had some play money of my own. plus my sister had given me some gift cards at easter. jason took me in to calgary.........i set out with the intention of getting bed side tables........a hard thing to find and an expensive thing as well. so as i found nothing that i loved.....and if i don't love it i don't buy it! a new rule i am trying to abide by, i started looking at other things. i found 2 lamps, a tin box, a tin picture, and a large sepia picture of a tree!!! things are starting to feel like home............and it is about time as we have lived here for 11 months!!!

am off to finish my night watching a movie with my family. yep! so far so good!

FUNNY FACE....I LOVE YOU!

I THOUGHT I WAS BEING A LITTLE TOO SERIOUS AS OF LATE.....


these made me laugh!

this made me think of lord of the rings....and made me laugh at all the people who liked that STUPID movie!!!!


this made me go "MMMMMHH??"

SHOW ME AN "A", AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN "F"



Twink said...
tomorrow.. we will have a "A" day..A for "awesome"twink.June 17, 2008 9:36 PM





As you can see, An Above Average Admiring fan was giving the letter "A" An Admirable chance to host our day. Due to the Following events, "A" didn't have a Fighting chance. I hope you are Finding the Foreshadowing Fallacious!


"A" only lasted a Fraction under Four seconds, as Twink Forgot about her Fragile neck, stretched, then Froze it, althought it Felt more like a Fracture!


First thing at work we had two Females in For pampering to their Feet. Final touch is always polish. Twink went to grab one, hitting the shelf with her Forearm, sending all the polish Falling to the Floor, Fracturing upon impact sending Fragments of glass all over. Not to mention nail polish Flooding on the Floor, Floorboards, etc. Of course Forbiddon "F" words Found a way into our Foreheads, but we Finnally Found the Funny in the mess. Fortunalty Judy was working and Found remover and Fixed that issue. Fumes were Floating From room to room, Free of charge of course, and not being Fully Filtered by our nasal hairs, we were as stoned as the generation of Free love!


If that wasn't enough to put "A" out of the Forefront, then when my next client Faye arrived For her Featured Facial which Features seaweed to Fortify and Freshen your Face, then Frankly nothing could!


"F" was also showing its Face upstairs where Stacey kept Flubbing up booking Facials! The day seemed like Forever! Box bottoms Falling out, we were all getting so Frustrated that death by Firing squad seemed Favorable!
Just before Four, i was running Forty-Five minutes behind, and still had Four hours to go!
Fiddlesticks!
One thing is Forsure, when you are busy and things are going Foul, the day Flies by, and soon it was time For twinks Four o'clock chiro appointment.
I did make Fifty-Five dollars in tips though- For real....thats Fifty more than the day before!
For dinner i had Fruto Fried chicken and French Fries!
Fatigue started to take over, I headed For home, Flopped on the couch in the Fetal position, and was Foolish enough to hope that my husband's hand was looking for my Foot, but realized quickly he was just Feeling me up!


Of course we are blameing the days events on the Full moon!


All in all though, "F" took a Full Flip and went From Freaking Frustrating to Full out Funny!!

"F" IS FOR FREAKING FRUSTRATED


HEY! yeah so todays letter is "F"....
First.........i cannot seem to comment on anyone elses blog as it says my password is wrong! how the Fart do they know???
then i Found george this morning.......on the First day i didn't bring my supplies to work with me!
was very Frustrated when i told a client to get undressed, get under the covers, remove bra and all jewelery because i'll be massaging you..........and i come in to see she is on the bed with a Fucking Fuzzy housecoat on!!
Free as our scheduled baseball game was canncelled, so Fortunatly we could go to my sons spring concert that my Friend informed me we had, as school notes sometimes do not Find their way home. Frazzled when no one wanted to go to the concert, Fighting off Fatigue, due to having to get all Five of us to my daughters Fancy academic awards Flapjack breakfast Feast at 7am this morning ,i gave in and skipped the concert.
only made Five dollars in tips today.
I am not Feeling Feminine today, just using their products.....am Feeling extra Fat!
was Ferocious to Find backpacks Flug onto the Floor........if it wasn't due to Forensic evidence Fists would have Flown!
i need more Fiber, my bowels are Full, and instead of a movement i get Flatulence.
i guess i Feel in a Funk today.........but Fortunatly the day ia almost Finished!

i know this sounds so Far Fetched you think it is Fictitious, but Frankly it is Fact!

ON EVENING OUT

well......this was us tonight! our ladies group took a group pole
dancing class! i really enjoyed it! what a work out! i actually learnt this move....you grab the pole, anchor your breasts, lift your legs and slide to the bottom. it also made me feel like a fireman.........or fantasize about my husband in a fireman uniform!?
if any of you (and i am assuming that there are readers other than the people with me tonight) would like to take class google aradia fitness in calgary.
be sure to read what i learnt today...scroll down the side coloum

EVOLUTION

If humans evolved from monkeys..........

new thng to try

i want to find a class to teach circus tricks..........yes celeberty circus was on tonight.......yes it inspired me........i am interested in the "bungy" tricks.
anyone know where to take that???

FUNNIEST THING I HEARD TODAY...

a lady told my son today..."hold your head anyway you want".
I found that funny..............i'm going to try and hold mine upside down!

todays point to ponder

Today was a day of laughter!! yes i was at work...if you can call it that!

so one of todays topics was turrets syndrome (is that how you spell it)??
anyway you know how they blurt out swear words......which is a quarry all in its own........if someone made "apple" a bad word would they shout "apple" at random times???

anyway is there Italian, or Japanese turrets with them shouting out Japanese profanity???

topic two: HOW WE TREAT OURSELVES AND HUMAN TENDANCIES

a girl at work bought herself some new lipgloss and before agreeing to it, did not check the price......and once the till clerk asked for the amount it seemed to late to reply "on second thought i won't be needing that"........$29.00 for the gloss
she really wanted to apply gloss to her lips for the ride home and her instinct was to NOT use the expensive one...........an instinct that i have shared on more that on occasion. and why?? are we not worth it?? is it because we are women? adults? mothers?...although she is not a mother.
how many times have i bought great face cream, but use the cheap stuff, saving the good stuff.for what?? because i save it so long that it goes bad and i end up throwing it out!
how many of you save your best china or whatever for later, special occasions etc?????
lets start a revolution today! lets start using the "GOOD STUFF".in recent months due to life situations it has become even more important, as later may never come...litteraly!
I have a teenaged daughter at home and at times her selfcentereness drives me crazy! but maybe there is something to be learnt from that.


i have one more thing to rant about! the situation of what to do with left over shampoo........it goes hand in hand with how we treat ourselves.
you know how you always seem to be left with more shampoo than conditioner, or vise versa.......they were part of a matching set and now one is gone so you have to replace it. but then you have a different matching set. do you feel obligated to use up the left over stuff before using the new stuff as a pair....again creating an imbalance? or do you store it in the closet untill it goes bad...and then throw it away???

POINTS TO PONDER ANYWAY!!

intro to blogging and random thought one

tanya.....that is "tanya" spelt in the font of "webdings" it makes me laugh!!!

so the purpose of this...........does there really have to be a purpose?......i can list a few
1. my friend Twink wants me to so she doesn't feel alone in the "BLOG" world
2. i love to hear other peoples opinions on things.........but like i tell my husband "just because i ask for your opinion doesn't mean i will use it!"
3. to release the many random thoughts that fill my curious little mind
4.gives me a place to "rant"........and that can happen!!


so for the first random saber thought......................"CATCH WORDS"
it is fitting fot the first post as it has to do with the title............a few teenagers seem to be using the word "RANDOM"..........like saying "you're so random"........."just standing around random"
so we decided to start our own catch word..."SABERTOOTH"
like "that dress is saber" "she is so sabertooth right now" "he is the toothest of all the sabers"
please feel free to use these words...........we want them to go global!



and something that has been on my mind since early last week...............it makes me ask "why?"

a client of mine answered a cell phone call in the middle of our time together. she was recieving a spa treatment form me. she reluctantly told her friend that she "was in the middle of a spa day". when she hung up she explained to me that she didn't want to make her friend feel bad by saying she was enjoying a spa treatment, as her friend was just going through a divorce. i asked her how long they had been married......."20 years.............i guess they have been seperated for 5 years, he already got remarried a couple of years ago, she is going through a hard time"

I DON'T GET IT!!!! WHY SAY SHE WAS JUST GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE WHEN THE DIVORCE ACTUALLY HAPPENED YEARS AGO.....OR ELSE HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN REMARRIED...........why feel the urge at all to tell me her friend was divorced??................

just needed to get that out. it has been bugging me.........and making me ask "WHY?"
