EiEioooooooooooo

Took Vivilicious to Old Mc D's farm today and had an absolute blast! We saw baby piggies, goats, lambs, chicks. We saw donkeys, ponies, bunnies, a cool farm cat that looked like Frisky. Vivi got a pony ride, and we even got to check out a teepee. Very fun stuff. Will post pictures once I get over to my techie challenged sister's house and email them to myself.


Two major brainstorms today....
One is to become a stationery mogul (of sorts), and the second is....That the Dove girls need to be made into Barbie Dolls. HooYeah - I am going to start campaigning for this immediately. Get Mattel on the line! Oh wait... I hate the phone. Mass emails for everybody!

I'll admit it - I've been listening to the pink song 'Stupid Girls' a tad too much lately...But I can't help it - and hey, even Oprah is on the bandwagon. There is something important to stand up for here - and we all know it - even you horn dog men out there! Squash the testosterone Scooby, I don't blame you. If all you have is 'Girls Gone Wild' style media out there - well of course your little brain is going to consider women as little more than a skanky sex object. All you see in magazines, TV's and Movies is their T & A's pokin' at the camera these days. I believe whole heartedly that we are ruining our children, and not just the girls. When you see thongs for sixth graders being sold at La Senza girl, and women, who are hung up on being 'Yummy Mummies' or 'MILF's, buying this crotch floss for their babies - man you know society is going down hill. Seriously, we are teaching them to flaunt their funky panties in grade school now?!?! My God - This epidemic has gone too far!!! I was horrified at the baby t's in the schools, and was not happy about the mini skirts and Fu*k me sandal's. But thong panties sticking out their low rise pants is taking everything to that line that begs us to stand up and shout: "Enough all ready! Put the goodies away!" Seriously - what did happen to our dream of a woman for president ? (or in my case Prime Minister - Kim Campbell doesn't count). Why are we teaching are daughters, sisters and nieces to dress like Ho's? Is it not only logical that they will then be treated like Ho's? Then act like Ho's because that is what is expected of them? This is a huge self esteem problem that is going to have serious ramifications. What are our little boys supposed to think? Men have historically had a difficult time seeing through beauty before, when we weren't half naked in front of them starting from age 9. Now they are being taught that Woman are indeed only eye candy. We are imprinting this on them from a very tender age. And our little girls,? Bless their hearts, they are receiving the message loud and clear and aspiring to the level of mediocrity that their role models are subjecting them to - when as women, they are capable of so very much more.

So, what do you think? Dove girl Barbies - to show our little girls that real beauty means a truly individual package on the outside. One that is beautiful, whether conventional or not. I hope by the time my niece is old enough to start a Barbie collection that some Barbies have a big 'badonkadonk', and some have a Jewish nose, and some have a beautiful Indian features, and some have glasses, and some are low waisted, and hey...maybe even some don't even have much of a waist...



Wow, you know I'm ranting when I stop putting paragraphs in

Extra special delivery - as in Bus 'C'





I don't know about all schools, but mine had a 'special' bus for the kids that were special needs. And that my friends is a bus I am pretty sure Tom Cruise and his 'Guilty-by-association' incubator, Katie Holmes, would have been riding.

I was deeply saddened to hear that they gave birth. Here are two people that are not even married (hence the incubator status). Katie, once a role model for young women, has totally surprised me. It is rumoured that Tom Cruise has orchestrated his whole media-fest relationship. It would seem this could be true, as the tabloids were reporting the strategy before Katie and Suri were a gleam in his eye.

Katie, I am sad to see you are as vapid as the rest of young Hollywood. Here's hoping you want more for your daughter, as you parents did for you.

Little Suri: You have a pretty name. I am sorry it means 'pickpocket' in Japan. Don't let that get you down sister. My advice to you little one - don't mistake eccentricty for real passion. There is a difference. One comes from the heart and the other is all about ego.

What the?!?! How Did All These People Get In Here?




Well, I finally did it. I found my inner 'Martha' and had the family over. We've lived in our place for about 5 years - and I can count on two fingers all the gatherings we've had ~ yikes.

This was a good thing for us. It made me feel good to invite me family into my home.

Preparing for it broke me out of my doldrums and lit a spark well, under my ass. Big J's too.

How it started...I invited Corie over to see the kitten, and then I invited Tom because he was in town. Then it was my Dad and Patty's anniversary, so I invited them. Then it snow balled to Jeremy's parents, and of course, T and Spiff were coming to pick up Bubby, whom I was babysitting *ALL DAY* - Just Jer, MesbvbNQA (That last bit was Binoo adding her two sense to the Blog), Me & an adorable one year old. Whoooo Hooooo! He was so awesome for me. He loved being out here with the kitties and all our cooking utensils (man did he come to the right house!).
I CAN'T WAIT TO BABYSIT AGAIN!!!

Here's some pics:
(Some taken with my fancy new camera - What I had to go through to get it....& I had to present a plan to offset the price. Looks like Jer and Cubbie are my new hair colourists until the fall!)
