Thursday Morning Musings, 300th Post And Love And Prayers And Milk And Eggs Edition

Good morrow mes amis.



I hope that everyone's Thursday has started well.



First off, big, huge positive thoughts out to E-ve's mum this morning and thank yous to the staff that will be taking amazing care of her.



Secondly, big ups to E-ve for being the awesome. With me and her friends and her family she is pretty remarkable.



Thirdly, positive thoughts to the people in Haiti. They are in need of all that we can give, and that may soon include Romeo. He'll be taking our love and prayers with him. And there will be love waiting for him when he gets home.



Today marks another nice round number milestone here at the muse. It's the 300th post since I started this thing last January. The numbers pile up really quickly and this one almost passed me by when I wasn't looking. Thanks to everyone that has stopped in to check out any of the first 299 posts.



I've picked up all of the baking supplies and accessories that I need for E-ve's surprise. It almost looks like I'll be baking for a 6 year old. But I'll make it work.



The Wine Rack lady just got back to the store after a break and a sign on the gate that said be back in 5 minutes. I'm going to wait a minute to go in though. Don't want to look too anxious.



Thank you to Walmart for teaming up with the Canadian Red Cross and letting customers add donations to their purchases. The money is being sent to help the Haitian relief effort.



I think that I'm all done for today.



I hope your day is great wherever you are.



Thanks again.



Like wham!

Tuesday Morning Musings, 48 Hour Countdown and Batman VS J.C. Edition

Hola amigos.

Here’s hoping that you’re feeling well.

Happy to report that after a fantastic dinner of homemade baked beans and bread supplied by E-ve last night I slept pretty well and feel like I may be beating this cold thing.

Also, thumbs up to E-ve’s cooking. She doesn’t seem to give herself much credit for a lot of it, but she always does a pretty awesome job. I like it a lot.

And, we are now less than 48 hours away from E-ve’s birthday. It is fast approaching and I am quickly trying to finalize a plan in my head that will translate well to reality.

Team Canada goes for gold tonight against Team USA at the WJC in Saskatchewan. There will be a whole lot of people cheering on the under 19 year olds on the prairies.

It’s snowing again in Toronto. I think we’ve got a little bit of a pattern developing. I’m not sure how I’ll feel about it long term.

Here is my favourite Tweet sequence of the day from @ThatKevinSmith. The question was posed to him by @BMSTK and the answer is straight from the man himself.

“Batman VS Terminator VS Darth Vader VS Jesus VS a pack of Velociraptors. Who wins?” Batman takes out Arnie & Anakin with EMP blasts via Batmobile, & shatters grills of 2 raptors while root-canaling a third with boot-stomp. Since they’re beasts, his moral code doesn’t prevent him from snapping necks- leaving just the Christ. Batman pulls his uppercut to J.C.’s jaw. K.O. Jesus forgives Bats.

We are almost at the 300 post mark here at the Morning Muse… and that’s kinda cool to me.

Snuggie?

I am still having a hard time dealing with the fact that the University of North Carolina Tar Heels lost a basketball game to the College of Charleston Cougars. This is a loss where the Heels shot only 38 percent from the floor and were only 1 for 6 from 3-point range… unacceptable. Arg.

I think that’s about it for now folks. If anything pops into my head I’ll fire it up on the Twitter feed.

And, as per tradition, if you’re only here this one day of the week, we’ll see you next Tuesday.

Like wham!
