HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH

Katherine's celebrity look-a-like

Fred Penner

Well, it was a very busy weekend! We had originally planned on going to Toronto, but because that didn't work out for various reasons, Jacob was able to attend his very first drama class at the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama (http://www.ossd.com/). That was kinda neat, because both Katherine and I spent a lot of time at that school when we were younger. After his drama class, we walked around the shops on Richmond Road in Westboro. It was a very nice day all in all.

Today, we went to see Fred Penner! We all had a great time, and Jacob even got one of his CD's autographed.

It was a nice weekend all in all.

PS: I've decided to split up my giant post outline; one post per topic.. Some may be very long, and some may be very short, but there you go. Well, to cross the first item off my list, it's been a long time since my last post. Unit next time!

PPS: What's with no one updating their blog lately?

could you do me a favour?

Could you allow anonymous posting to your blog? I miss posting comments. Thanks!

Talk about love!!

And a weird dedication to my blog...

happy belated birthday

To David...

I hate blogger

Yesterday I saw that Blogger has a new "beta" blog that I could try out. Always wanting to be on the cutting edge of Google-dom, I jumped on the bandwagon... probably not reading enough of the fine print, so, yes it's 100% my fault... BUT!..

Fast forward to this morning, and I was trying to comment on a blog (Elizabeth's actually), and I got a message that I can't post comments on any blog that's not in the beta program. And I can't find out how to back out of the beta program (not that I've looked very hard at the moment).

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

To whet your whistle

Here is the outline of what is coming up in my next post. Yes, I'm a dork -- and yes, I write outlines to my blog postings.

Monobrow

"Without proper maintenance, anyone can get stuck with a monobrow, which is when two eyebrows join together in a holy union of oneness. While the monobrow is pretty much shunned in North America, in some cultures it is as sacred as a cow. No longer willing to cower in shame, monobrowed people from all over have created a union (of people, in addition to eyebrows) on the Internet." --CHECK IT OUT--

Commencement

Tomorrow, Katherine is going to be graduating from College after two years of hard work and late nights. I am very proud of her -- she gave up so much so that she could go back to school! It will all be worth it after she gets that special piece of paper tomorrow. If you have some time, take a minute and send Katherine a congratulatory e-mail. She can be reached at Katherine@PRvillage.org

Here's another post.

Today was a wonderful day in the city of Ottawa. It was sunny and warm and dry... and I was stuck inside. Oh well, at least I've got a monstrous window to enjoy the view.

This afternoon we stopped at the garden centre of our local grocery store, and picked up a few flowers for Katherine to put in her pots. They look nice. There's one pot on each side of the stairs leading to the front door. How cute.

Okay, I promised a picture, so here's one of Katherine, Jacob and I taken only a few minutes ago. Yes, it's only 7:00. And yes, I'm already in my pajamas. Have a nice night everyone.

PS: Last night at about 10:30, I filled up the gas tank for 83.9 cents a litre. This morning it as 96.3 cents a litre. That is dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

The strike is over

Okay, the strike is over.  I will start posting regularly again I’ve decided.  

I don’t really have that much to write about at the moment though, so this is going to be a very boring post.  Sorry.  (image placeholder) Check out www.PRvillage.org for Katherine’s new website – very exciting.

Well, that’s about it for now.  Pretty anticlimactic, eh?

Keepin' busy

< deleted for now>

Just for the heck of it

I've now opened an e-Store for everything Jacob. Please don't buy anything.. it's just for fun.

Check it out!
