Bag Pipes

Some parents take there kids to see movies, some take them to see The Wiggles, some take their kids to a museum for an educational afternoon.............us, we take our kid to see a bagpipe concert.

For some unknown reason Maya adores Bagpipe music, she even has a CD we listen to on a regular bases. Today there was a big competition in town so being good parents took her to listen for a couple of hours. I have told her that when she gets older her and I can learn to play together. Pity our neighbours.

Facebook

Do you ever peruse peoples friend list on Facebook and think .....my goodness this person has not left highschool?

Nope, still haven't done a proper profile.

Technology

TV Protip: If you spend $3000 on a new 50" LCD or plasma TV, DO NOT complain when your $50 VCR from 5 years ago looks like crap on it. I really don't know why you bought the TV then. *sign*

On a side note, one of Tech Corps services now is home theatre setup. So I have been to a few peoples places now setting up the cables for their new TVs and stuff. Its pretty interesting and enjoyable. But people don't seem to realize you need HD definition sources to make you high definition plama TV look any good.

Sometimes I look down and think oh man I am getting FAT, I have really got to do something about this...then I remember I'm pregnant.

Food Guide Question

I wonder if popcorn is included as a serving of vegetables??

New Jammies

Here is Maya performing her star maneuver from gymnastics. She is modeling her new summer jammies from Zellers.

The Time Has Come..

This is a large pile of clothing that currently do not fit me due to my rapidly expanding waste line. Gone are ill fitting uniforms, shorts, shirts, closet items. This rather large pile does not represent pants nor sweaters even. Luke asked if I was sad and honestly if I never see most of those clothes again I would be happy. Wouldn't it be cool to get a whole new wardrobe- once I lost the weight of course.

I'm not naked, I actually purchased some brand new clothing the other day. Old Navy helped me part with my money via shorts, Capri's, blue tee shirt, white tee shirt. I also picked up a dressy top at thyme just cause. I got some used pants as well from value village. So I guess I am all set as a pregnant person. Although I still need a dressy dress.

As a pregnant person thus far I have gained 8 pounds- I really am only allowing myself 30 maximum. However I crave Wonderbars so I really must become more active to counteract the wonderbars. I am not giving up wonderbars.

DAFT PUNK

Well last summer Daft Punk started doing a world tour doing this concert. I was lamenting their lack of a Toronto show as I really really really wanted to see them after seeing some of the Coachella concert vids.
Well this year it looks like they are doing a North American Tour and Toronto IS on the list. And guess who has 2 tickets? ME! OHHH YEEAAHH.

So anyway its on August 5th and Anne really really really wants to go as well, but the pregnancy will probably not allow it. We will talk to the place and see if there are any options, but otherwise I need someone else to go with. I can't wait though. Its going to be soo awesome.

End of Futsal season

Well another season of Futsal has ended. I think my team ended up 4th or 5th out of 10 . We lost a great game last night 5-4 and had an amazing season overall.
We did decide over the weekend that Anne was just too pregnant to play anymore (she is a pretty rough player) and so she (very) sadly had to sit this last one out.
Outdoor should begin in June, assuming that enough people sign up, so may will be pretty empty.
New for me this year will be playing the 30+ outdoor league. I played a couple times for them last year and since I am technically "allowed" to play for them this year the guy who runs the local team really wanted me to play (not for my skills(z), just so they have enough players :P )
Its quite competitive and I look forward to it most of all I think. We play in places like Goderich and Kincardine and other close towns.

Preggers

So up until about 2 weeks ago, Anne was looking pretty normal, maybe a little pudgy. And only that when dressed up for soccer or a tight-ish shirt or sweater.
The suddenly, pop, she looks pregnant, not fat. I don't know if there's like this mental switch that allows us to suddenly see it, but there's that round belly swinging around for all to see.

Wierd

So I have made a chronic lack of posts in the last little while. I don't really have a good excuse, but I will blame the fact that I am actually working everyday.
So, so make up for it, my Xbox 360 now blogs for me! Obviously its auto-generated based on what I do with it, but its pretty good none the less.

Cravings

Yesterday I had a craving for fries, as I was in Owen Sound I went to the chip wagon beside the farmers market. Ordered a large , and yes, my arteries are clogging as we speak. Imagine my disappointment when I was handed a hot steaming container of McCain's fries. I thought they were fresh cut. Thus, I still have that craving... and for a Wonder bar. Anybody know on locally where I can get fresh cut fries in the winter??

The sadness overtakes me

On our counter for site visits of this site we have been averaging 2-3 visitors per day.

What Happened??

We once got 12-15.......have I no friends, family, acquaintances. I guess if this is my life I might as well never do facebook, it would take me years to get a respectable 35 friends.

So sad....

Tech Corps

I have been meaning to post this for a while but have been busy.
So I am currently self employed. I have joined forces with my friend Nathan (for whom I have been doing occational computer work for the poast few years) and now service the clients of his computer consulting business as well as the few customers I have built up myself.
On top of this I work out of his internet cafe and also deal with the home PC's people bring in for repair.
So far this has been quite busy.
So my company is called Tech Corps, and I still need to come up with a slogan and logo.
Its quite nice to be reguarlly setting up and fixing stuff again as I was feeling that I was losing my edge. It is taking a while to get back into the swing of things and be used to dealing with all sorts of people face to face, most of whom are quite frustrated before they even see me.

But I think this will be a very good thing and if the plans Nathan and I have have work out, the company should grow and be quite profitable.
Prayer and any suggestions would be quite welcome!

Happy Easter

Well I bought myself some new underwear...I guess I am set for my birthday.

Pregnancy Update

I'm at 16weeks now- four months. Not even halfway through, I know some woman just love being pregnant, I'm not one of them. I am a miserable pregnant person, I feel awful, do not want to do anything and frankly I'm happy to be in grump. So leave me alone and do not cross me.
Yes I'm still throwing up. Less nausea more actual vomiting episodes. My energy level is up and comes in spurts, otherwise all I want to do is watch movies. I'm starting to feel lightheaded and faint. Most likely dehydration. I will get my hemoglobin checked soon just to make sure.

On the positive side, I think I may have felt the babe move- or it could be gas. I have only gained three pounds, but I only have a few pairs of pants that fit. I'm in that awkward getting big look, but not quite pregnant stage. When I was pregnant with Maya people had really thought I had let myself go. Still playing soccer, only two more games....hope nobody notices my protruding belly until then. Of course I am playing with guys and guys are so unobservant.
