Real Age

What is your real age??

http://www.realage.com/

Stages we go through as we age:

At 5 you love your age, and will go into a screaming fit if someone says you are 6 or 4

At 12, you start lying about your age. Adding 2 years to your age, because older is cooler.

At 18 you are finally at a cool age so you happy with your age .it is the perfect age, no need to lie. You are at the perfect age until you hit 25.

At 25 you start to practice lying about your age. You jokingly say I am 24 and 15 months and so on. It is ok because you are still in your 20’s

At 30 you officially start lying about your age it is not a joke anymore. You will be 29 years old for so long you eventually forget how old you really are.

At 40 you are still lying about your age, but now you are stuck at 35 for the next few years.

After 50 you will be 45 for few years.

After 60 you stop caring, you have more improtant things to worry about

If you happen to make to 100, you gloat about it and feel special. I am 100 years old and I am alive! Go me, go me....

But really, what is age? It is just a number. How you feel, look and act is what determines your age.

And hey according to real age, if I “chose” to lie about my age, I will not be lying since I am 6 years younger than what my age is

Life, then and now

This weekend we had a great family outing. We have not done much of that for the past seven months of winter. First because the weather is too cold, all you can do is go to the mall or indoor. Second because hubby worked almost every weekend. Now the weather got nicer, (well it’s not that nice today) we decided to go to the zoo on Saturday.
Saskatoon zoo is very tiny. There are only few animals. But it is close to our home, a five-minute drive.

We had a great time. We walked around looking at animals. The tigers fascinated us as always. We played at the park and watched a goose sitting on her eggs, talked about the birds, watched the buffalos eat, eat and eat some more, then we watched the monkeys jumping from branch to branch then we ate ice-cream. The weather was great to be outdoors.

On Sunday the kids played downstairs with the neighbour’s kids. This does not happen often here. Then we drove to the dam; it was a 1-hour drive so hubby and I got to chitchat. . It was another perfect family day. We looked at the dam, and talked to the kids about it, we played at the park near the lake, and watched the geese swim, and yes we ate ice cream before driving back home.

This was the best weekend for us in a long time. See why I hate winter!

This got me thinking about how our weekend would have been pre kids. We would not have gone to the zoo; we would not have driven to the dam. We would have probably gone out on Friday night, stayed out too late and slept most day on Saturday missing out on a beautiful day. Then on Saturday night we would have gone out with our friends for dinner, to a club, or just hung around at someone’s house playing cards and goofing around until the wee hours of the morning, again sleeping in on Sunday and missing out on another nice day.

Not that the no kids thing was bad; it was just different. We used to have lots of fun being carefree and spontaneous. I loved every minute of it. But then we had to grow up and move to the next stage of life.

It would be great to balance the two. Doing all the fun things with kids, then having some kids free outings and doing adult things every once in a while is great. Unfortunately living in Saskatoon without any family or friends has not allowed venturing out alone without the kids.

I cannot wait until we are back home (Ontario) and we can leave the kids at my mom’s for a night or two every month or so and spend time alone doing adult things.

And sometimes, I wish I could leave my three boys with mama, and go somewhere alone for few days. I would have to leave them with mama otherwise; I will come home to a very messy house and I will need a vacation after I am done tidying up their mess. Mama will keep them under control while I am gone on my dream solo vacation. I think I would go to Veradero, Cuba. One can dream eh??

face book

Wow is it ever addictive. Like I need one more thing to be addicted to eh?

I found few of my friends, but the ones that I have really been wanting to get in touch with are not on face book : '(

I am so sad that my best friend is not on there. I have been trying to find her for a year now. I know, I know, how do you lose a best friend. Well I lost my best friend and I really want her back.

We met grade 7. At first I hated her. She said something mean to me. I was wearing a skirt with panty hose. And she pointed out that I have leg hair sticking out of the panty hose. O how I hated her that day! How dare she points that out. We met again on my first day of high school and we became best friends, we shared a lot of happy and sad times together. She was there for me during 2 horrible engagements, and through few break-ups, and was there to listen to me vent about my parents, sister and brothers, and life in general. She always pointed out who was checking me out when we were together, it was cute, it was annoying then though.

And now I lost her :o( I wish I can find her, I am not sure if she is still in Canada. Last time we spoke she was in a long distance relationship with someone in London, England. Maybe they got married and she moved there. Damn it. I wonder if she is looking for me too.

*Sniff, sniff*

I want my best friend back.........waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh...

bye bye winter!

It is official, winter is over!

Not even one bit of snow is left.

I just cleared out our closet of winter clothes and hung up our summer clothes. So if the cold decides to come it is too bad for it, because we only have summer clothes out:)

I have 4 garbage bags full of clothes to give away, I hope the diabetes association come pick them up soon, I am running out of room.

yippy, I love spring/summer. I do not mine fall, but it the season that leads to winter so I do not love it.

I guess I would not mind winter if it was not the longest season in Canada. It is especially long and hard in Saskatoon.

I have been house bound for so long, it is taking me a while to get used to going out again. :o(

Ok no real reason for this post, excpet to tell the world that I am soooooooooo glad winter is over!

My Dream

I usually do not like to share my dreams; you know the real dream that you have at night while sleeping.

But I have posted about procrastination few times already and like some of you know I am the procrastination Queen with a capital Q.

In my dream I was paying for procrastination. I was in Toronto at my parent’s house, my bags all packed to go to Jordan. Then a friend of mine comes over and she looks at me and says wow you have gained a lot of weight, haven’t you. So of course I felt fat, and was annoyed at myself for not losing those 10lb before I go to Jordan. So I guess this is hint hint #1to exercise a bit more, and no cheating except on Saturdays

Then in my dream I realize that I have not packed any skirts, all the clothes in my bag are winter cloths. But there is no time to go out shopping because it was 2pm and my flight was at 3pm. I guess this is a reminder that I need to do some shopping and not wait until I lose the weight.

Then in my dream I realize that I have not recharged my MP3 player. I am panicking what am I going to listen to on the plane. But really my mind was telling me to recharge my MP3 player because I cannot workout at the gym without it.

And at the last minute I realize that my passport is expired, why, why did I procrastinate. I was so mad at myself. In reality I do have to renew it ASAP. It expired in March. So I have to go take a picture, sent it along with the application our friend to sign it and then head to the passport office to get my new passport. I hope the passport office is not as busy as it was last month when the you need a passport to cross the boarder came in affect.

I do not want my dream to come true, so I have to resign my position as a procrastination queen soon!

can not think of a title.

I just remembered this and wanted to share it, if my son reads this when he gets older he will not be too happy. But he is only 5.5yo now and could careless.

In the summer we take lots of road trips around the province. Right now we are living in western Canada, close to the Rockies so we like to take advantage of that and we drive to the mountains as much as we can. Once you are out of the cities here, you are in the middle of nowhere for quit sometime. Especially while driving in the mountains. This means that if one needs to use the bathroom, it is too bad one has to wait. But you cannot expect a then four years old to hold it for hours. So we would park the car on the side of road and let Zozo do his business.

I wanted to emphasize to Zozo that he could only do this while we are driving in the middle of nowhere. If we are in the city he will have to hold it until we got home or to wherever we going to use the bathroom. Hubby would jump in and say ma tidakhali it is a man thing, and when the boy has to go he has to go no matter where he is, he should not hold it. Then start with his I am older therefore I know better speech.

Next life I am marrying a younger man!

Fast forward to July of last year, we were in Amman. Hubby, the kids, my sister in law and I were at Mecca mall. We walked around, did some shopping and left the mall. We were waiting for my sister in law’s car to come outside the mall, when zozo decided he needed to go peepee. I guess he remembered his daddy’s words, the kid can pee wherever he want to, he should not hold it blah blah blah *shaking head and rolling eyes at hubby*. He pulled his shorts down and did his business. He was four years old; he was told he could do it anywhere as long as he was outside, and we were outside the mall. So really it is not his fault, it is hubby’s fault!

It was so embarrassing; I wanted to crawl under a rock. Poor zozo didn’t know why everyone was laughing. Hubby learned that he should watch what he says our son, and that wifey (me) was right like always! So I had to go back and explain that we only pee in the bathroom because we are human not animals, and the only exception is when we are in the middle of nowhere with no bathrooms around. Now Zozo knows better, and I guess so does hubby. MEN!!!!

New look

what do u think of my blog's new look. Isn't it puuurtier like this? pink is so much cooler that whatever colour I had before eh?

I was inspired by the pink on Dima's blog. I am too much of a girly girl to have a blog that does not have pink in it.

Ok 3an jad I am off the computer, damned face book, and baby center and blogs. I gotta go get dinner ready and take the kids to to the park.
