But i'm here, so obviously she isn't 21 and you are lucky enough to have my silly ridiculous posts to read

AND guess what mum?  We aren't really having a family dinner of Indian Food at Dave and I's house - we are going to Milestones!!!!!!!  Katie and Daddy and i have been texting fiends getting this planned for your special day

I have a Funny for you today because its the weekend and we all need a good chuckle to get us through the rest of our work day!



Margarita FUNNY

  • Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
  • Do you suffer from shyness?
  • Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?
  • Do you suffer exhaustion from the day to day grind?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Margaritas.
Margaritas are the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. 
Margaritas can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything. 
You will notice the benefits of Margaritas almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.
Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with Margaritas.
Margaritas may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Margaritas. 
However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.
Side Effects May Include
- Dizziness - Nausea - Vomiting - Incarceration - Loss of motor control - Loss of clothing - Loss of money - Table dancing - Headache - Dehydration - Dry mouth - And a desire to sing Karaoke
Warnings
  • The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
  • The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
  • The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to think you can sing.
  • The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
Please share this information with other women who may need Margaritas. ;o)

Bahahahaaaa Leah! I could SO go for a Margarita right now but its not even 10am and as you know my office has glass walls darn it :o)
Happy weekend Donna!

We have a meeting with the bank tonight (joy of joys) followed by dinner (joy of joys!!!). Tomorrow Jeff is golfing and then we are going to a BBQ, Sunday I will be running, doing housework, studying, cooking and loving the thought of not having to work on Monday. Monday I have no idea.

Nothing overly exciting...

PS I don't own a single piece of lulu lemon...In fact I've never gone to a lulu lemon or even looked online....I've heard horrendous stories about the pricing of the clothing so I just stay away...Bad decision??

Happy Weekend Darlin!!!
Boo to having to go to the bank, if you need some information or have any questions or want to know what the "real" lowest rate on anything is let me know, i'm a Financial Advisor for one of the big banks!
That sounds like a FUN weekend, i'm super excited to BBQ and YAY for no Monday at work :o)
Okay, Lululemon IS expensive i'll admit but the quality is incredible, i wear pieces now that i bought 6 years ago! If you are going to invest in anything i would recommend the Reverse Groove Pants (they do WONDERS to your ass!) and if you like wearing your own sports bra, the Cool Racer Back Tank - its long enough to cover your tush and you can't see sweat through them! I'm thinking of doing a lululemon giveaway when i move the blog to wordpress so stay tuned :o)
OK I would LOVE to know the REAL lowest rate...
Thank you my darling daughter, I have the best family ever. Your blog as always is great. Looking forward to tonight. Thanks for making my birthday special (and every day for that matter) Love you tons xxx

Don't you sound chipper today??? :) Thanks for the Victoria Day info. Our Memorial Day is next weekend, which is sort of the unofficial start of summer in the States. I'm excited, and like you, I'll be packing Sunday for a little trip. Have a great weekend!

Ohh a trip sounds good, where are you heading to?
Hope you had a great weekend and you have started packing :o)
Great b-day list! Most of those things look good to me too...it's been a while since I've gotten myself some new lulu....must...stay...strong! Where are you packing for?
1 reply · active 723 weeks ago
Lol, i am so NOT strong when it comes to Lulu!!!
We sold our house and have to move back with my parents for a month until our new house has finished being built, so not fun packing - i hate moving :oÞ
Well the payoff will be worth it when you get to the new place...good luck!
