MY DIET HELPER!

As you may have read in a previous post I want to lose 5 lbs. by the end of Jan........well I've been on the right path with a some unexpected help from on of my little visitors(no not the deer).

Take a look what my fridge freezer looked like on Friday, not a good situation for someone that LOVES ice cream, and wants to LOSE WEIGHT!!!

Daniel opens the fridge Sunday morning, and what does he find but a pool of ice cream! He automatically thinks the fridge is DONE! With a little investigation we realize the controls inside the fridge have been turned to the warmest settings..............HA........I think.............little blondies!!!! So I get on the phone, and right away the true was out............way to go Natasha for telling Grandma YOU DID IT, very proud of you for being honest!!!

Long story short the ice cream ALL went in the garbage, and that's proboably good for a pound or two(lost)!!!

The little visitor are expected to come over today, I am anxious to see the reaction when they don't get their usual ice cream at Grandma's as soon as they walk in the door!!! Should be interesting!!!

LOOK WHO COME TO VISIT TODAY!




Congratulations Grandma Peggy(and of course Joeline & family)

My dear friend Peggy has another(little)man in her life.......her daughter had a baby BOY on Jan. 18th! Thanks to Great Aunt Leila for this picture(I was so anxious to see him).......he's such a cutie!!!!

The last of our 3 children turns 18 in just 15 days!!!

I am feeling kind of strange about this........not sure why, maybe because he's the youngest and this means our responsibilities as parents will be slightly less on the 11th of Feb.!

I haven't hit an age yet where I feel old....therefore I don't often think of my age. But when I do, I tend to age myself by the age and happenings of our kids, maybe this is why his birthday is weighing on my mind........him turning 18, is making me feel old!!!

Photo in the blog heading is of Daylan signing the papers to purchase his 1st car. He bought the car from Dolci(my cousin) & Brett, and the deal was made at Londonderry mall in Edmonton!

The very first ever Blonde Guy joke.....(thanks Cheryl)

An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."

The Mexican opened his lunch box and Exclaimed," Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."

The blonde opened his lunch and said, " Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."

The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"

The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."

Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said, "Don't look at me.
He makes his own lunch
