Ladybug, ladybug fly away...

My uneducated guess is ladybugs gather in the fall. Why they gather I do not know. I do know that pretty much all the Transcona ladybugs were gathering in my front yard yesterday.

Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home (or wherever they need to go this time of year). But ouch do ya have to keep hitting me in the head!

The Ks

First day of fall...

and I wish I was anywhere but at work. Grand Forks keeps calling me. Anyone up for a road trip? My friends at Gordmans, JC Penny and Victoria's Secret keep sending me coupons, enticing me to come-on-down. I may not be able to resist much longer.

Oh and Happy Fall! Eddy loves this time of year as he gets to rub his back in all the goose poop left behind by those pesky migrating geese.

Secret pleasure

I have one secret pleasure which I enjoy on my daily drive into work. I love zooming around the traffic circle on waterfront drive. Zoom, zoom!

Not the greatest picture but just to give an idea of where this circle is (so you will stay away). Don't let me catch ya zooming around my circle! I have first dibs. Zoom, zoom.

Yogurt choices confuse me

Okay I admit it. It don't take much to confuse me. But buying yogurt lately just overwhelms me. What happened to it being a simple dairy product with some fruit and sugar added. Now some yogurts are fat-free while others have low calories or no added sugar. Other yogurts have added vitamins, omega-3s, probiotics and god knows what. What does it all mean and how does a crazy hockey mom choose?

Old photo Wednesday

This photo is of my Auntie Marie (left) and Auntie Anne. Both aunts have passed away. Our Auntie Marie was the family saint and had the kindest heart of anyone I have ever known (except maybe for my best bud Laurie). She helped raise us kids and was always there to help out. My Auntie Anne always was in the latest fashions and had a lot of gentlemen suitors. I am not too sure how she met and married my Uncle Harry (he was a little rough around the edges) but he seemed devoted to her.

Where has the summer gone?

Can it really be ending? Yikes can you believe it is September 1 today? Seems like our summer passed much too quickly. Last week was a blur. This week is full of everything I want to do before school begins. I feel panicky everytime I think about going back to work on September 3. And don't get me started on talking about AA hockey tryouts. I think I will be on prozac by September 13 (which is the first tryout date).
