Crue!!!!
Yay!!!! The Motley Crue and Aerosmith Route of all Evil tour is coming to Calgary on December 11!!!!! Tickets went on sale 14 minutes ago and appear to be sold out already but we would not be denied! We got level 1 seats beside the stage. I'm so excited, it's ridiculous. Anyone who knows me knows what a freak I am when it comes to the Crue. And I haven't seen Aerosmith live before, so that'll be good too. What an awesome way to start the week. Wicked. So in the spirit of the Crue, here's a shot of me, Tara and Mighty Mike, the concert "little person" taken when we saw them in Saskatoon

Judgement Day
It's been a while since my last blog, but nothing is really going on these days. Cirque de Soleil was incredible, i absolutely loved it. If you get the chance to see it live, please do! It's really spectacular. Work is still busy. I put together a proposal for my boss on the restructuring of my department, and I think he's going to go for it. It's a pretty exciting opportunity for me. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Why is it that the more money you make, the more you spend? I'm not talking about myself here, but I've noticed it a lot lately. I know people who have started their careers with nothing. No house, no car, no nice clothes or expensive make up. Now, they have all of that and still need more. Instead of a 20, 000 car, they need a 40, 000 one. Or instead of a nice home, they need to move into a "richer" neighborhood. Instead of spending $10 on lip gloss, they spend $50. To each their own, of course, but why is it never enough? Why can we not just obtain the lifestyle we are comfortable with and use anything extra to help others? I take the train to work every morning and every day I see people huddled up under trees or in doorways, trying to get a bit more sleep before they have to begin another day of being homeless. I really don't know where I'm going with this, but it's just something that bothers me on a daily basis.
So Cassidy is sick today. I hate it when she's sick. It started at about 1 am last night. There really is nothing worse than being woken up out of a deep sleep to "Mommy, I puked." What a horrible wake up call. We were up for a few hours and finally fell asleep. I let her sleep in and when she got up she seemed fine. So she went to school and I went to work. It wasn't even 2 hours later that the secretary of her school called and said that Cassidy wasn't feeling well again. I felt so awful. So now we're hanging out at home watching kid movies. I really hope she isn't coming down with the flu that's been going around. I hate it when she's sick. I feel so helpless. But it happens, I guess.
Congratulations to Pearl and Roch and also to Devon and his girlfriend who both found out that they are pregnant! Babies are in the air. I just hope I don't breathe in any of that air.... one child is enough for me for right now.
That's it for today! Take care, everyone.
Love,

New Beginnings
I'm listening to Leah, and creating a new post. I know it's been forever since my last blog, and I haven't even been that busy. Things just keep happening and preventing me from posting. And I still have a virus on my computer at home. I can't figure out how to get my laptop from work to work from home either. I think I would be considered technologically illiterate for today's world. But I manage.
Work has been crazy as usual. It seems that since I got back from Houston, I have so much more to do because of all I learned. But I just keep plugging away. I figure that I can only do my best in 8 hours and that's all I can do. I'm not about to work insane hours from home because that's not fair to Cassidy. Speaking of Cassidy, she's learning how to read! It seriously does seem like yesterday when the only contact she would have with a book would be to chew and drool all over it. I'm so proud of her, she's trying so hard. I forgot how hard it was to learn to read and I feel sorry for the poor kid. She gets so frustrated if she can't figure out a letter or a sound and of course, I'm the most impatient teacher in the world. I must get that from my dad... If anyone has any ideas on how to help a kid learn how to read, I'm all ears! I'm not sure what I'll do when she learns how to read. I won't be able to wear my Motley Crue concert t-shirts anymore. The world will no longer be censored. Is this the part where kids start to pick up on the evils and tempations of the world around us? It seems kind of easy to shelter your children when they don't know any better, but what am I going to do when she can actually read the newspaper and realizes that there is rarely good news to report. I don't want to be the one to have to break it to my baby girl that the world is not really a peaceful place. It's ravaged by war, famine, poverty and disease. I suppose these discussions are still a couple years away, but they're still too close for my liking.
That was depressing. On to more cheerful subjects. Tomorrow, me, my sister, my brother in law and his brother are going to see Cirque de Soleil Delerium for Dave's birthday. I'm excited. I've never seen Cirque de Soleil live and I imagine it's going to be specatular. I've been to a few concerts and shows lately and they've all been wonderful. We saw Elton John last week and he was as good as you can imagine Elton John would be. It's really amazing to think that one man can entertain 20000 people with just a piano. He's mesmerizing.
So winter is on it's way. At least it seems that way in Calgary. It's been cold and wet for the past couple of days. Generally that means snow. I'm waiting to wake up one morning in a winter wonderland. The good things about winter.....flannel pyjamas, sparkly white snow in your hair, the scent of cinnamon and pine, movies and popcorn, skiing, new mitts, the view of the mountains on a clear day, Christmas, and the promise of new beginnings.
Have a great day, everyone!
