Our Sunday Adventure in shopping HELL ... :p
well we first went to see the movie Twilight ... thats the one with the teenage girl and her Vampire boyfriend .. you know what ... its a GREAT MOVIE ... i was shocked !!! It really turned out to be a better film then what the ads are showing it ... it almost looked like a chick flick .. 'gag' but my youngest wanted to see it so much so we gave in !! I am glad I did .. even the 'old man' enjoyed it .... wonders never cease!!!!
were in the shopping mall after that .. ( the one we went to was a two level one .. over 100 shops/fast food/two department stores and lots of specialty shops ... !!) We were trying to find ONE with antivirus software .. you think we could find ONE !!! well ONE but all they sell was McAffee and I'll not put that crap on my PC !!!!! wasted 45 mins on that expidition !!! :p ... i hated it.. was so crowded and in the middle of it was 'santa's palace' where parents lined up with their kiddies ...oh i remember those days ... 1 hour in line just to get my kids to sit still on Santas knee without breaking out in sobs ... do i miss it !! NOT ONE BLOODY BIT lol!!!!! I told Ray ... get me the '&(&*' out of here ... I CANT STAND crowded places ... its different if its a party of people you know ... or a concert .. because your enjoying it ... hopefully with a freind or more ... but this is just sheer torture .. esp this time of the year !!!
Later the three of us ( oldest is out of town visiting friends till the 24th!) ... went out for dinner !!! Ray and I had steaks and salad ... really good food and good service .. it sure made up for things a bit !!! Then we found an electronics store for the antivirus ... hey half price .. not bad !!!
But then I go home to install it ... ughhhh another nightmare !!! I ve been using AVG free trial until we could buy some .. i had to download an uninstaller from the website to get rid of it ... !! And because Dell PCS come with MCAfee i had to delete any remnants from the PC of that too .. again had to find uninstaller ... took me over 2 hours to fig this out .. i almost pulled my hair out haha but i didnt give up !!! Now i finally have my newly installed Kaspersky Antivirus set up on the PC!!!!! whew .. that made me tired again just typing this all out .. hahaha !!! ... Today was just another day in MCD Land where i work ... and now i m about to sip on hot coffee !!!! time to relax ... ahhhhh!!! ;)

Well well well .. let's see ... this week was really one of those that every day i had to litterally drag the ole gluteus maximus out of bed everyday ... I think its in direct correlation to the FREEZING arctic weather that's hit most of Canada ... its just BRUTAL ... bad windchill, and SO MANY IDIOTS sharing the roads with the rest of us ... i swear people become retarded in bad weather when driving .. :p!!
The weekend has been a bit better !!!
Ray and I took my son and our houseguest to the mall so they can do some Crimbo shopping ( love this very 'English' word for it hahaha!!! ) Ray and I had been discussing purchasing a deep fryer as a gift for each other this year ... he went out with Shawn ( oldest son ) and they went and picked one up !!!!! He then set it up and cooked a small batch of french fries ... they tasted awsome ... so McD quality fries at home, fried chicken .. i need fryer recipes anyone ??? lol ...
I also spent a couple hours chatting with my dear friend in Ontario ... the one I will be travelling ot the UK with in two years ... we are happily planning this trip .. both of us are die hard fans of Level 42 ( british britfunk/pop band formed in 1980 ) and its versitile Frontman Mark King!!!!
heres a taste of Mr King with todays Level 42 performing at a festival in Europe ... i think its about 2005 ish?? But its awsome !!!

Last year they had a huge inflatable Frosty the Snowman and something that looked like a revovling carosel ... plus lights all over the place on the tree on the fecnce on the building ...

DION Out .. IGNATIEFF IN !!!!
Oh thank GOD our Gov. General has a few more brain cells then the politicians !!! She suspended parliament till January ... on the PMs advice ... !! And now the official opposition leader has been forced to quit by the Liberal Party ... nice try Mr Dion ... your little coalition FELL APART .. you failed !!! And so Michael Ignatieff will prob lead the Liberals into the next Election .. which is bound to happen .. so once again we shall all be going to the polls in yet ANOTHER election ... until we all get it right and elect a Majourity Gov't .. ( i hope to GOD its NOT Liberal though ) until this happens the opposition will keep pulling this crap!!! Who said Canadian Polotics was boring ?? it sure as Hell isnt anymore HAHAHA!!!!

THE ROYAL CANADIAN POLITICAL FARCE!!!
...or maybe i should say 'THE THREE STOOGES' their names are Stephan Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Guiseppe !!! Otherwise known as the 'honerable' ( HA ) leaders of the opposion in our glorious Canadian Parliament !!! SIX WEEKS after Canadians elected Stephen Harper PM in a minority Govt .. these Clowns decide they want to grab for it !!! Dion was all but FINISHED .. his finish was DISMAL .. but oh no .. instead of bowing out gracefully he decides to make a final power grab !!!!
CANADA.COM= "To save his job and his government, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to suspend Parliament this week while his party blitzes the country with a public-relations campaign aimed at discrediting the notion of a Liberal-led coalition government propped up by the separatist Bloc Quebecois." With Governer General Michaelle Jean rushing home from Europe to deal with this crisis ... there is little doubt of this course of action ... Give Canadians a 'cooling off' time and come back in January ... hopefully this will all die down by then !!
I really hope so .. otherwise we're into round two of the 'political GONG SHOW' this has become !!!!

Ughh been very tardy here !!!
i m still getting the hang of this Blogging idea ... but here goes for my catchup ....
I finally got over my bout with Larengitis .. to my hubby s regret ... :p!!!
We went to see 'Quantum of Solace' the new Bond Movie with Daniel Craig ... you know theres alot of action for sure ... if that's what you love ... the 'shoot em up .. blow em up .. ww3 type then this is your show ' .. I however appreciate something with a PLOT and well .. this has almost NONE !!! Its no bloody wonder the man got hurt making this film ...let's just hope there is a huge improvement soon or there will be a hunt for a new Bond very soon !!! he has very big shoes to fill before he can come up to even close par to the Sean Connerys and Roger Moores .. and yes even Pierce Brosnan gave the role more class then this !!!
I am still getting used to my new work schedule .. its only an extra hour .. but now i m working later ... till 5:30 pm I'm going home in the dark litarally !!! I am very tired and wiped out by the end of every day .. ( and please remind me why i am doing this ?? Oh ya .. to see one very special Bassplayer perform live again ... i guess after 21 yrs i can wait another two .. but stangely these days I grow more impatient !!! )
This Friday is my son Michael's 13th Birthday ... my boys are growing up!!! And then three weeks later its Crimbo time as my UK buddies like to call it lol!!!
Enough of this for now ... more to follow soon I'm sure !!!
