laughter is the best medicine!

I decided to clean out my hotmail email account this morning... turns out I had 141 some odd messages 100 if which are complete junk that somehow slipped through the spam filter, the other 41 where forwards from family and friends! Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that very few people ever type their own emails anymore?? Ever title in the subject line includes at least one FWD...Most them I are hilarious and I'm glad someone took the time to think of me and pass it on! Here's one my dad sent on I thought Id share it because it made me smile! After the week I've had I needed to smile!

I hope no one finds any offence to it!!

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said "You want hot fudge with that? and Man said "Yes!" And Woman said "I'll have one too with chocolate chips". And so they gained 10 pounds.And God created the healthy yogurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14. So God said "Try my fresh green salad". And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them". And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man's cholesterol went through the roof.Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said "You want fries with that?" and Man replied "Yes, And super size 'em". And Satan said "It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.God sighed .......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then .............Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Sometimes with laughter comes tears! As I continued to clean out my email box I came to one entitled Gold Wrapper ...Isn't it funny how things we read can speak so clearly to you! It said to email it to all my friends your familiar with the wonderful world of horrible chain mail! The only reason I even bother reading them is because the life's lessons I learn from them are very worth reading 98.8% of the time!

"Gold Wrapping Paper" I received this from a friend who had a choice to make. It said that I had a choice to make too. I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose. The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, "This is for you, Momma." The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner. "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?" She had tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full." The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger. An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life. Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. You now have two choices: 1. Pass this on to your friends and family on your mailing list. 2. Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart. As you can see, I took choice No. 1.

I think UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is the greatest gift we can give our children or anyone for that matter! Its great because it fits comfortably into EVERYONES price range! Even the poorest or poor can give!

Its not something that can be bought and wrapped in fancy paper:) Instead it is learned when it is shared!!

I wanted to share this with more than just the people on my mailing list ( I don't have a long list) I put it here that way I can share with all of you!

Yesterdays latest edition to my series of unfortunate events has left me an emotional wreck today, I'm super moody, the dark clouds looming in the sky when I woke up made me wanna crawl back into bed! I was counting on SUN!! 6:30am was not what time I had hoped to get woken up by my little princess! It hurt just to open my eyes! I don't remember what time I finally made it to bed last night but I do remember passing out on the couch while in the middle of an online poker game @ 1:30 or so! Thank god my hubby was up keeping an eye on my game ...he took over and let me sleep! I wonder how we did?:) One thing yesterday taught me and that is never to take the simple things in life for granted!!

Life's to short to put conditions on love!!

Meet My adopted blog buddies!

I just wanted to take a moment and introduce you to the latest edition to the Komar household! On the left hand side of the page you'll find a couple of cute little critters, I was surfing the blogosphere one night for cool widgets and stumbled across these cool new friends!
I have 2 younger kids at home so I haven't wanted to make the time a real pet requires! Maybe in a few years when the kids are a bit older! Until then I am quite happy to take care of my newly adopted blog pets! Spunky the monkey likes it when you feed him bananas...( you can do this by clicking on the more tab inside his box!) Don't make it easy for him though he likes a challenge! Place them around the tree!
Freddie the puppy has a bag of doggy treats in his box he likes when you feed him those! He also likes when you throw the bones that are hiding inside the more tab in his box!

These are definitely my kind of pets!NO MESS to clean up and they are they dont make a sound!!:)

ENJOY!!

EXeS

~~turns screen...Hubby's sitting right beside me playing poker so I'll just turn my screen a little bit so this isn't staring him right in the face!! Ex-boyfriends are not normally something your current partner wants to think about! I know for me the thought of him being with other people before me weirds me out! He's 10 years old than I am so its not like I'm ignorant to that fact that he was with other woman before me its just something I prefer not to think about and I'm sure those feelings are mutual! Although I was young when we met I wasn't totally inexperienced! Mermaid stopped by the site today and left me and invite to come over to her site and play a game, Her game was to list your ex relationships, I decided instead of leaving my list in the comments I'd just do a whole post! Its not like my list is huge! Keep in mind my actual dating experience was pretty short and sweet! My first real boyfriend was in grade 9 when I was 14 and my last was when I was 16 going on 17.Here's my list=)

In chronological order...

Joe- he was my first for a few things!=) We hung in 3 months

Mike-Joe^ is the one who hooked us up (after we had broken up for a while! It was kinda weird having your ex set you up!) Mike moved to B.C so we broke up after a month

Justin-We dated on and off for months...He'd come by when he was bored that kind of thing=)

Phil-We dated for 6 months I thought I was sooo in love with him! God was I clueless!

Andy-we dated for 2 months he was just someone to pass the time with, only boyfriend I wasn't intimate with (sorry Andy=)

I gave up on boyfriends for 6 months and just had fun! (that's a whole other list!)

Then I met Keith! He's the Love of my life! Fiance for 8 years and counting:) My babies daddy=) My best friend and by far the BEST BOYFRIEND and lover on the list!! and I'm not just writing that because he's peeking over my shoulder beside me! lol

Thanks for the fun game to play mermaid! How did I score?

I really enjoyed that trip down memory lane! It made me truly thankful I ended up with who I did! I dated some real LOSERS!! ah the joys of being young and STUPID!!

All part of the wonderful adventure called LIFE!!!

NO REGRETS!!=)

What a day!

Do you ever feel like life just keeps repeatedly kicking you in the ass?? I sure do!
Our family has not had the greatest start to 2007, who needs cable when you live reality t.v!

WE have gone through what I like to call a very long series of unfortunate events!

Just when you think you've seen it all, my heart is put to yet another test this one the scariest of all!!
I received a call from my hubby at around 10:30am, Normally I enjoy calls from him but not of this nature! Turns out our son did not return to class after recess and they could not find him!
Now I'm sure if the school had not been fully aware of our series of unfortunate events this temporary misplacement of my child would have gone a lot smoother! Q~ball is not the type of kid to to just disappear without a logical explanation!

My hubby immediately upon receiving the phone call from the school left work and went to the school where there still was no sign of Q! His stuff was all there boots, coat, backpack! Where the hell is he? Everyone is frantic (teachers, friends,parents!!) The R.C.M.P where called and put on alert & my hubby and our employee began the search driving around the school area & home! I felt devastated and completely helpless while my child was out there somewhere missing! I'm not one to sit around in situations like this so me and Taylor decided to head to the school! I ran as far as I could pushing Taylor in the buggy! (against her will she wanted to walk but that would take WAY to long!!) I'm not in very good shape so running wasn't the best idea! !
I only had one thing on my mind at this time MUST FIND MY BABY, my deepest fear was that a certain person responsible for our families prior series of unfortunate events was also responsible for this!
Half way to the school my hubby called me on the cell, the search party had been called off & he had been found safe and sound in the reading room @ school READING!!! THANK GOD!!
My heart finally slowed down and I began to catch my breath!
Q is part of a one to one reading program at school, as it turns out the grown ups in charge of the reading had picked him up after recess to go read...neglecting to inform his poor teacher! I can only imagine how she must have felt as she placed that phone call to Qs dad! "Hi Q's Dad,this is Q's teacher, turns out we have accidentally misplaced your child, he did not return to class after recess and we are not entirely sure where he may have gone!" I certainly would not want to make that call! She really is a great teacher and I am so thankful Q has had her! We owe her some serious morning coffees to make up for all the DRAMA we have caused! She was extremely relieved to know he was in fact safe @ reading and Q has promised never

to go off without telling someone!

Those 20 mins while I feared for my sons safety where absolutely the most horrific 20 mins of my life!! My heart definitely thinks it could do without all this excitement! I cant help but agree!
Well the saying goes...When it rains it pours and WE have been flooding around here lately but
THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW!! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Its early in the year, guess we may as well get all the crap out of the way right off the start so we can relax and enjoy the rest of the year! I think we have definitely gone through a years worth of crap so the rest of the year should be packed full of happiness! That something to be optimistic about! Tomorrows only a day away!

Every BLACK cloud has a SILVER lining!!

Keep on SMILING*!!

Playtime!

It was a Georgous day today!

It was an absolutely beautiful spring like day outside today! The temperature was 10 degrees Celsius! The little princess and I abandoned our inside duty's and spent most of the late morning early afternoon outside! We played with the neighbours kitty for a bit, that lead to a walk to the store for some candy:) It felt so nice to be out of the house without all the winter gear on! I was a little over zealous though and attempted our walk in flip flops! Ya that didn't work out so well! I made it around the corner and to the bottom of the hill the leads to the store and had to go back for some socks and shoes! Turns out not all the snow had melted off the sidewalk! Ill give it a few more weeks before I do that again!
The snow in the front yard is rapidly vanishing and that leaves me feeling super optimistic about the beautiful weather that is finally here!! Winter is WAY too long if you ask me! It could snow Dec 1 and all melt January 2 and that would be a perfect winter!
The cold months always leave me feeling low! I think its the lack of sunshine!
I have walked more this past week then I did in the last 5 months combined and I feel awesome! I'm sure my car being on his death bed has a lot to do with my increased exercise its been a good thing as the exercise is long over due!

Here's to Sun Shinning & SNOW MELTING!! Bring on the Flip Flops!!

Count down to The Sweet Escape!!

99 days and counting!! I don't think June 12 is going to come fast enough! What exactly is this The Sweet Escape I am very impatiently awaiting?? The Sweet Escape is the title to Gwen Stefani's newest Album and the name of her up coming tour! The Calgary Saddle dome will be graced by her presence and a performance on June 13 and among the other 1000's of screaming fans I will also be in attendance! A couple of girlfriends and I will be road tripping into Calgary for a Girls Mid Week ESCAPE!! I have only been to one other concert in my whole life (SANTANA) and I could not be any more excited about going to see someone who has actually been famous in my lifetime! (not that Santana isn't an awesome artist he just experienced his true FAME long before I was even born!)
Gwen has sang lead vocals for the group NO DOUBT since the late 80's, In 2003 she branched outside of music and introduced her own clothing label called L.A.M.B, In 2004 she spread her wings even more and soared off as a Solo Artist! Her first album was titled Love.Angel.Music.Baby. = L.A.M.B
My friend had been talking about the upcoming tour for months! (Since they posted the tour date, but long before tickets went on sale!) Her excitement made me wish I could find a way to go with them! Ive never really had any girlfriends that I can go do stuff with never, mind road tripping and concerts! I settled down into family mode @ 17 so concerts and road trips weren't at the top of my to do list. At first I didn't think there was any way I could go, the show is in the middle of the week and its during our busiest time of year for work SUMMER, Who will watch the kids?? Well has luck would have it my in laws are moving to town the end of MARCH! Perfect! They will watch the kids! Now I just have to convince my Hubby to let me go 4 hours away for 3 days without the kids and HIM! I'm cute & often irresistible so I figured if worse came to worse Id just pull out my charm!
Sometimes if you wish for something hard enough it can come true!! =) HE said YES!
WE have our tickets!(really great seats from what I understand!!) Our hotel reservations have been made, Now we just have to PATIENTLY wait for it to be June!!
Wish me luck I'm not always the most patient person!! Just ask my hubby! I am already torturing him with GWEN, GWEN, & more GWEN, He may bury me in the back yard with my Gwen Cd before June even gets here!!=)
