Did someone have a birthday?

Someone woke up this month & noticed that it was just another day. Nothing special. (just my big, fat birthday!). My parents had made plans to take me to lunch, but called in to say they were sick & could not make it, so change of plans. I thought maybe my grandson would like to go someplace with me. McDonalds or just for a drive, I didn't care. I called my DIL and then my son. Can I just say how happy I was when my DIL called me back & said her & my grandson would like to go to lunch with me.
I did my "happy dance" & we meet my son near his work. We had a great deli sandwich & "good times"!


Then, later on that afternoon my other son called & wanted to go to dinner. Bonus #2. Dinner with my granddaughter.
What seemed to begin as a day on the couch with a good book,& no one to sahre my day with (hubby even had to work & was not home) turned out to be the best day ever!!! Grandkids are the BEST present ever!

For the last 2 days, I've been.....

Watching the Olympics like...well, mostly everyone else. And I have learned so much about our friends to the north. I had no idea Canada was the 2nd largest country & the population of CA is larger than ALL of Canada. This would be the place for me to move to, except it's to dang cold!!

What else have I learned?

*I did not know that Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns was from Canada.

**Hundreds of anti-Olympic protesters forced organizers to change the route of the last leg of the trans-Canada torch relay. Now that's just Rude!!!

**That watching the women's Down Hill Moguls would make my knee's hurt!!

**That Apolo Ohno likes to start out at the back of the pack during Speed Skating. (had I known that, I wouldn't of been yelling at the TV so much).

**And that it doesn't snow 24 hours during the winter up in Canada. (it rains too).

Is it just me, or do all

Olympic stars look like kids?

Or could it be I'm just an old lady wishing I could stand up on ice skates or ski's at a high rate (or slow rate) of speed?

Now, what ticked me off about the Opening Ceremonies?

That K.D.Lang can take one of my all-time favorite songs & butcher it!! Like Ellen would say "put some shoes on lady"!!! "Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is the only way to listen to that song.

(hope this works).

On a sad note, my heart goes out to 21 year old Nodar Kumaritashvili from Georgia (Soviet Union) and his family. My heart breaks for his coaches,teammates,family & friends.

On a happier note, since it's Valentine's Day...this is for you Colleen! Enjoy.

Super Bowl commercials

Who Dat???

Oh my. Poor Betty White. Men tackling her on the playing field at her age. What are they thinking? Just plain rude. And on top of that, they throw her in a mud puddle! Gosh, all I could think of was her nice pretty hair. That poor woman. And all she got was a Snickers bar! (yes I did laugh & it was one of my favorites! Especially when Betty says "that's not what your girlfriend says"

My 2nd fav was that cute little boy slapping his momma's date. I busted a gut on that one.

I really didn't pay that much attention this year to commercials, as they just seem to be boring, and the fact that my granddaughter had most of my attention. Between stuffing my face & playing with her on the floor, I just really didn't have time to pay that much attention to the TV.

Let me know what your favorite commerical was in my comment section. Of course the cutest picture was at the end with Brees & his son.

I really wasn't cheering for the Saints, but Brees did use to quartback for the Chargers, so I figure I can cheer for him at least.

Don't be afraid to comment

OK, this is for those of you that read, but don't share the comment love as Emily would say.

Some of you email me & say you can't comment. Well, this is for you. I will take you step by step and show you how to post a comment.

At the bottom of this little post, there will be a little "comments". You place your little cursor/mouse on comments & "click".

This will open up a box that says "Leave your comment". This is were you type your "comment love" about the post. (this is where u might want to type "Your the greatest sister & your blog rocks"!! RJ. Or something as simple as "HI". Then it has a word verification box & you just type in the letters it shows above that box. SO EASY. Then it says to "Choose an identity". Just click the little circle next to Anonymous. (but sign your name in your post).

Then click "Publish your comment". Sometimes you have to do it twice to get it to work, BUT IT WORKS!!

OK....Now, share your comment love & post me a comment on how easy this was!!

It's a boy....nope, another girl.

Here is a picture of my niece and her son & 3 girls (to her left) & her niece.(on her right) This was taken in October when we were down visiting & they were getting ready to go out & watch my great nephew race. (her son). She was 6 months pregnant & didn't even tell us. Well ok, she didn't tell anyone, but that's just her. She's very quite.

Around Christmas we found out she was expecting. And then in early January my sister in law (her mom) told us she was expecting a boy.
Well guess what. Her daughter was born last week. Guess those doctors are not always right. Well I hope my great nephew doesn't tell this little sister that the Fed Ex truck stopped at their house & left her on the door-step!!

Congradulations to my niece. Hope to see the new little one soon.
