Here's to FLEET WEEK!

Since 1984, New York City has held Fleet Week to honor the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps....from all over the world. The week features extensive military demonstrations, as well as the opportunity for the public to tour some of the visiting ships and talk with the men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving their respective countries. IF YOU EVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO GO.....GOOOOOO! It truly is an experience that humbles you...makes you realize that the complaints that you have about your job, your boss, your co-workers.......are kinda-sorta small. NOT that I would belittle anyone who works hard for their pay cheque...we all do...I stood in one spot for eight hours on concrete floors for eight hours at a time dealing with people who would make me cry...I complaining the whole time....and I was a CASHIER......imagine fighting in the army, navy, marines. I honestly don't think.....let me rephrase that...I KNOW I couldn't do that job. My hat is tipped to those that do. God bless them and keep them safe.

p.s. not only do I honor them....but let me just say.....in those uniforms....YUMMMM!

Very exciting news! I just became the co-announcer for the Rideau Valley Slaughter Daughters Roller Derby Team! SAY WHAT! Yup, that's right, I do not lie! Slaughter Daughters is an amazing group of women...they are charismatic, genuine, gutsy, tough, kind-hearted and just overall amazing women. The first game I will co-announce will be May 30th in Ottawa....I predict it is going to be an event filled with fun, laughter and amazing memories!
I love being me!

la-la-love this site!

Was cruising the Internet a wee while ago....and came across this site. It really is a fantastic site...the graphics are awesome, the videos are well made, and the message....highly educational. Visit EVERY link on this site....the song is hysterical...in fact every video made me chuckle. I shared the site with my teenage daughter....she loved it, and passed it along to all her friends. I suggest you do the same....it's a fun way to learn about 'down there' issues!
