Have you read this book?

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?
I just recieved it in the mail today. I bought a box of cereal 2 months ago and there was a code in the box to input on a website and you could pick out of 10 books. I thought I'd go out on a limb and get a book that I normally wouldn't get.

Just wondering if anyone has read this book and what you think of it?

Drivers here

I HATE THEM. They have NO consideration for anyone other than themselves.
Example: I was going down Ontario St just past Princess. There are two lanes, one for turning right and one for going straight. This jackass was parked in the turning lane, waiting for someone or something at a restaurant. He wasn't very far from Princess St, so he made a major traffic jam with everyone trying to go around him.

2nd example: I was turning down a street right next to the hospital. It's a pretty narrow road and ppl were parked on the side even though there are signs saying NO PARKING. Anways, I saw a handi bus coming up the st, so I just pulled over as far as I could on my side to let the bus go by. Well, a lady in a car came up behind me and thought I was parking or something and she pulled ahead of me and wedged herself in between the bus and the curb. The bus couldn't get by her and she had to sort of drive up on the curve. The bus driver had this look of exasperation when she passed by me and we both shook our heads. How stupid this driver WAS.

I think I may go out with my digital camera and take pictures of every parking infraction I see, print them off and send them into kingston police with a note. Kingston police traffic services SUCK.

I think I've made up my mind

I've been really thinking about my job situation. I do have the customs inteview in December. And I have been really excited about the prospect of getting offered a job. But now that I have been actively thinking about it, and with Grant's input I think I might have to turn down the opportunity if it arises. I just can't go 9 weeks for training at my kids' stage right now. If they were in school it'd be a lot easier. I don't get a salary when I'm in training, just an allowance. So money will be tight as well.
And another major issue is the long drive down the 416 which can be treacherous in the winter. My work days will be very long.
If I work with Livingston, I can walk to work which would be So nice. If one kid is sick at the babysitters, I can get home so quickly instead of having to be there 1 hr after the fact.

What do you think?

What I dislike

Our Union Gas bill is supposed to come out of our bank as direct payment every 10th of the month. Well, they haven't taken their money out yet.
I hate it when they don't take it. I mean, I understand if it's on a weekend but the 10th was a friday, a working day.
I'll have to call them and see what's up.

Internet is a great thing

In bed lastnight I was thinking about books I read when I was a child. I remembered this book about a girl and a witch, and she would throw down a comb and trees grew and she threw a mirror and a lake emerged. I couldn't remember the name of the book. So I searched on google for "girl throws down comb, trees appear" and lo and behold, I find my book.
It's called "BONY LEGS"
I ordered it from Chapters, as I went on Amazon and it was $165.50. Crazy!!

Halloween pics

Mason , like Garrett, dressed up in the same pirate costume as last year. The hat actually stayed on his head this year. Mason did pretty well in the candy area and we did pretty well in keeping a lot. Maybe 20 kids came to the door lastnight.

Eve was a pretty princess. I took her to the door to give out the candy. She wore the outfit for quite a while until she puked all over it. She was a pucky princess.
