I'm going to miss Kingston

I do not want to move to Ottawa. Granted, there are better job opportunites for me there, but if I get this customs inspector job that I am vying for, it won't matter. :)
Mason and I went for a walk in the field behind our house yesterday and there is a great view of Ft Henry, RMC and Lake Ontario. I've got to go and take a picture today. We sat on a rock and watched cars come up and down the hill. We also saw some crab apple trees and Mason knows not to eat them because they will give him a boo boo in his tummy.
Kingston is a great city.

Clever name

We have an aerosol can of air freshener called "Alibi"
That's funny.

Care packages

I am going to be putting together care packages for the Canadian Troops over in Afghanistan. It must be SO SO hard to be away from family and away from your home country. Little care packages are great for the troops morale.
If anyone would like to donate, that would be greatly appreciated. You can donate money if you would like and i can go out and buy stuff, or you can donate items and mail them to me. I will then put it all into boxes and deliver to Belleville, as that is where they send the mail out from.
I will take pictures of the stuff I buy with donated money just to show that I haven't used the money for personal gain :)
Items that can be included in care packages and would be loved over there are:
Any deodorants, soaps, foot powders, creams, lip balm.
Socks, underware, sheets, (single),
Dvd's , books, puzzles, handheld games
Candies, cookies, beef jerky, hot rods, kraft dinners, any snacks ..no chocolate or perishibles
magazines, newspapers
water guns, water balloons
anything you think they would enjoy
remember that there are men AND women serving.

If you would like to donate money or items, let me know and I'll give you my addy or even my bank account # so you can send it.

Oh yah, if you want to add letters or pictures from kids that would be great too.
Thanks everyone

had me some mommy time

Grant and I went to a friends house last Saturday night. I had time at night away from the kids! We only stayed for maybe 3 hrs. I had my first drink in a long long time. I had a strawberry daquiri. Not too bad :)

oops

I left out a book in the rain, a library hardcover books. Needless to say, it was damaged beyond repair. I owe the Kingston Library $35.
The name of the book is called "Rain"..HAHA.

Scrapbooking

I've gotten into the scrapbooking craze. I tried to take it up when Mason was born but got bored of it. I now enjoy doing it. I don't have a lot of time to work on the pages though. I've only completed maybe 10 layouts now, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished :)

New Record For Me

I've been playing the old school Tetris on an NES Emulaltor quite a bit. My old record for # of lines was 165. Today, I got 190. Whoohoo LVL 19.
