Friday Fill-Ins: New Moon Rocked

New Moon was excellent last night. So much better than Twilight was. Definitely a must see for those of you Twilight fans out there. (I've heard us called Twerds, but I really don't like that name!!)

Tonight I am off to see Kelly Clarkson. Should be a good concert and a long time coming.

Tomorrow is the Christmas Craft Fair. I love going there and looking around. I usually find something for someone on my list.

1. We need to all get into the Christmas spirit. It is only just over a month away. Let's do it people!!

2. I wore my "Team Edward" shirt, hung out with some youngins', made comments during the movie last night and it made me smile.

3. If you want I will gladly wrap all of your presents for you. It is my FAVORITE thing to do around Christmas time!! (Or any time for that matter!)

4. I cheer for Edward because he reminds me so much of Jonathan.

5. Massachusetts has a proposed 5% sales tax on elective cosmetic surgery; I think that is a step in the right direction. People need to learn to be happy with themselves and deal with their inner problems. The outer problems are only surface. The inner problems are way more dangerous and unhealthy!!

6. Spending time celebrating Jesus makes for a happy holiday.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to Kelly Clarkson, tomorrow my plans include going to the craft fair and to church and Sunday, I want to rest, go grocery shopping and to small group and then have a nice supper with the family!

Tuesday Tunes: Sober

Tonight is "Family Night". It is something we have just started. We do an activity, read the Bible and learn about God. We pray together, too. It is really neat and the kids really had a wonderful time doing it last week. So we will try again this coming week.

It is so windy here. I felt like I was going to be blown away by the wind walking to pick-up Aidan this morning. Crazy weather...and to think it is already the middle of November. This has been pretty mild for us. It can stay this way all winter. I won't mind!!

This week is very busy. I am going out on Thursday night to see "New Moon" with my sister. Westjet sold tickets to a preview of it. I can't wait.

Friday night Jen, my mom and I are going to the Kelly Clarkson concert...Finally! We had tickets from March last year. She was supposed to be here for Stampede, but her concert got postponed until now. It should be really good.

Saturday is the Community hall Craft fair. We are selling Girl Guide cookies at it. Aidan and Emma are coming, too. They both want to buy Mommy's Christmas present there. So...Granny will take them both shopping. I love the craft fair. It is fun!!

Since today is Tuesday Tunes, I thought I would share a Kelly Clarkson song. Here's one of my favorites of all time!! I love her so much because I feel like she has not bowed to the societal image we place on our pop stars. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!!

My favorite character on the Street!

Okay. After reading Tina's blog (Hot Kerfuffle - check it out), I decided that I definitely needed to write a bit more about Sesame Street. As a child of the 80s, I hit Sesame Street in its prime. I LOVED Bert and Ernie, Grover and Big Bird. But my absolute favorite character was Snuffleupagus. I always hoped he would be on every single time I watched. Here are a few clips that I love!!





Who was your favorite character? I would love to know!!

Tuesday Tunes 47: 40th Anniversary

I have a lot to write about the Infusion Conference I went to, but I will save that for another blog. Hopefully when I am feeling better. Right now the couch is calling. I will heed it. I did not sleep very well last night. I am exhausted.

Since it is the Sesame Street 40th anniversary, I thought I would share a couple of videos. I grew up watching Sesame Street. My kids also love to watch it. Thanks to Sesame Street we also have TreeHouse. This wouldn't have happened if not for that first show. (I also did a paper on Sesame Street for one of my classes in University!)

The first one is "Sing". I remember watching this one time when they had a flute player on. I fell in love with that instrument. It was the reason why I wanted to play the flute in junior high, which I did. Anyway, here is a montage of celebrities singing...


The other song I wanted to share was this one that is much newer. I used it for one of my home-made picture slideshows/videos. I just think it is so sweet and makes me cry everytime I hear it.


What are some of your favorite songs from this wonderful show? I would love you to share them with me. I will also try putting up some more classic Sesame Street as the month goes on!!
