This weekend they were all about making cookies.
I pulled out a recipe book and managed to find a recipe that we had all of the ingredients for and so we made cookies. It was a lot of fun and even Rescue puppy got involved.

C is for cookie
The boys like nothing better than being creative. Sometimes this creativity involves a hammer and sometimes it involves markers and the walls of the house (unfortunately). Since Max is learning to speel we are finding evidence of his spelling mastery all over. He thinks I have supernatural powers that enable me to know where he has been and hwat he has been doing. I hate to disappoint him and tell him it is his own name in marker that leads me to my deductions.

After I was all done with the dough Max took it and played "bakery" by himself. He set up the cook book and his own little kitchen. Surprisingly clean up was not so bad - I had cookies to bribe him with!

I need to laugh
There has just been so much happening in the world that has been depressing lately.
The tsunamis, the tornados, the oil pipeline rupturing (the largest from an Alberta pipeline since 1975, according to the Energy Resources Conservation Board, which regulates the province's pipelines.)
The outcome of the Canadian Election, the appalling reaction to the death of Osama Bin Laden...
Which brings me to this photo.
I saw it today (you can link to the photo in it's original location by clicking on the photo) and I laughed and laughed.
The caption I saw with this picture said " What it would have looked like if Britain were involved in the raid in Pakistan".
Too, Too funny.
Thanks for the laughter!
I needed it.

Corny Commercials That Just Make Me Laugh
I love television commericals, but I have to admit I have a weird sense of humor.
Corny television commercials really tickle my funny bone.
There are some current commercials running in Canada on the radio and on television about truth in advertising.
Here is the television ad from Advertising Standards Canada:
They remind me of the discovery television ads from a few years ago. Man did I ever get a kick out of those ads.
"Hello Fellow Partially eaten Fish!"
I love to greet people that way, but they always look at me strangely!

things that make me smile (and maybe even cry a little)
This is a television moment that I love. Whether you are a fan of Rosie O'Donnell or not it is worth watching to see the joy. It's long - about 8 minutes, but worth every one.
Have you done anything recently to bring joy to another person?
I tried to today!

A letter to underwear makers
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter as a fat person who wears underwear and occasionally purchases new underwear.
I purchase my underwear at a "fat lady store". We could discuss why I am fat, or when I got fat, or how I got fat, but let's just accept for the purposes of this letter that I am currently fat and move on from there.
I recently purchased new underwear and I have a complaint. Why, oh why, do you (and by "you" I mean the designers and fabricators of underwear for fat women) insist on putting little bows on every pair of underwear I can find in the free world.
Let me explain something. I am not wearing underwear to flatter anyone. I am wearing underwear purely for functional purposes and there is no functional purpose for a bow anywhere on my undergarments.
The only thing these little bows do is make another little "bump" underneath my clothing. I don't need anymore "bumps" under my clothing.
When I try to remove the bows, what happens is that the place where the bow was located either 1. begins to fray or 2. gets a small hole that turns into a large hole rapidly. Both of these outcomes force me to purchase yet more underwear with yet more bows.
PLEASE - for the sake of everyone - (and by everyone I mean both fat people and people who have to LOOK at fat people) STOP putting bows on fat lady underwear.
Sincerely,
One fat lady considering commando as a legitimate option to "bow-ey" underwear.

Fail blog
A blog I love visiting is failblog.org. 
Today I was checking out the site and came across this which made me laugh outloud. At first glance you think "WOW... shouldn't that say hands?" Then you think "Are they asking staff to wash their genitals in the public bathroom?" And then you think "Who cares if staff wash their genitals?"
But I can think of some good reasons why staff should wash their genitals. What if they are strippers? What if they are Chippendales giving lap dances in Vegas? What if they are underwear models? What if they are prostitutes?
And THEN I realized... you know, this is good advise no matter WHAT occupation you hold. It's just good advice. Last year I had an employee who didn't wash his genitals. You may wonder how I would know that, and let's just say - if you ever work with someone who doesn't wash their genitals, you WILL KNOW. It got so bad that I actually had to bring him into m y office and tell him there was an issue with his personal hygiene and that he needed to wash his clothing, take a shower, and wash his undercarriage. It didn't help. I needed to get a sign like this made.
Is it funnier that it's true?

Letter #2
Email has really taken the place of letters for many of us.
My dad is not one to hand written notes or emails, so when something arrives from him it is always exciting.
He sent me an email this week.
Here it is (in italics), I copied it right from the email and did not just write it here.
Julie, Julie, Julie,
I love you
DAD

Letter #1
This month on NaBloPoMo the theme is "letters".
I participated in the NaBloPoMo in November blogging every day of the month and loved it. I was REALLY looking forward to doing it again in March when I realized I could do it every month and that the peeps at NaBloPoMo were posting monthly themes. Last month the theme was "lists' (which I LOVE) but I missed the first day and since I have a "touch" of obsessiveness, I decided that it was pointless to start a daily posting when I had missed the first day.
I am now starting on day number one of APRIL, with a letter which I have scanned from a boy in elementary school. My mom kept the letter. If it is too hard I will write down what he wrote under the picture. I hope you can read it.
