Childhood memories

I thought about what I should write in this blog that would appeal to the younger members of our family, and Amanda gave me an idea, childhood memories.....

Have you ever been doing something(by yourself or with someone) that made you think of a memory from when you were little?
Last week we had a bit of a storm and I went sledding with Jacinda and Jared, we took turns, shared sleds(and snowboards)and had fun, but it got me to thinking about things I enjoyed when I was little.
Have you ever jumped off of someone's porch into a couple of feet of snow? It is like jumping into a pile of laundry(forget about the chance of getting a concussion) You'd laugh then pull yourself out, only to do it again. After a few more times when finally exhausting yourself you'd head home wet to the bone to be asked what you did(you of course simply said you played in the snow, as common sense had suddenly made you realize that jumping down 10 feet into snow over rock hard ground may not sound as good to you parents as it did to you). Ahh that was fun!

Trying to recapture those moments as an adult is not quite the same, that huge jump, now actually is only waist high, the four feet of snow, is actually two, and that cool porch is now a rock garden owned by someone you don't know.

I was wondering if everyone could tell me about a moment like this, either thats really special , or that was special , and if your perception about it has changed.

So pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to be honest and say this, What the hell is the point of having a blog, if nobody bothers to comment? Do people really think I do this for my own pleasure? At this point it seems that I do this blog for Amanda and Ysa( and somtimes my sister) I know people visit, I see the counter, and many people say I read it, but I don't comment( mom this is aimed at you!) I don't care who you are I make the effort to write it for all of you, the least you can do is type a few simple words, or even a witty remark. It annoys me sooo much! I am also annoyed by people who used to ask me to read thier blogs, but who never update them......................... I get that we are all busy ( I have two jobs guys, and raise my kids, and occasionally donate my time, or paint murals) but I still make the time to write a simple blog.

Is it too much to ask?
Hell no!
It can be done very easily for example
while you enjoy your morning coffee
while your kids sleep
while your show is on a commercial break
while avoiding chores...
While avoiding people...
while talking on the phone
while sitting at home on a rainy day
while the power is out(if you have a lap top lol)
while folding laundry(fold, type, fold, type...)
while you listen to the hockey game
while you avoid listening to a hockey game( that's for me lol)
while watching the snow fall
while patting your cat( dog, mouse, turtle, phirannah, whatever)
while washing the clothes
while talking to your boss
while taking a break from work
while you are up at 3 am annoyed by drunk neighbours
while making supper
while smoking a ciggarette
while getting mad at someone for smoking a ciggarette
while throwing their dam ciggaretts out the window
while singing Hymns
while commiting mail fraud
while downloading illeagal pirated software
while reporting someone for downloading pirated software
while listening to your ipod
while gambling your life away online
while pondering the relationship between Grisholm and Sarah(what's up with that?)
while (after downloading pirated spftware) you run Norton Anti virus to get rid of the virusses you downloaded instead(oops)
while talking to a love one
while trying to ignore your 11 year old playing violin upstairs
while home sick(what else are you going to do.... really... what else)
while your superintedant fixes your sink(gross is that what was clogging the drain? ewwww)
while waiting for e-mails
while watching items on E-Bay
while loosing that item to another bidder
while watching Mythbusters
while laughing hysterically at Dane Cook(Superman!!)
while wondering why you smell burning when....oh dang that was supper
while wondering what to comment on somone elses blog
while chatting on MSN
while wondering what is wrong with your blog since you upgraded to the newer version
while waiting for your sweetie to call from work(love you Lee, who also never comments)
while figuring what else to add to this stupid list to make other people realize there really is no excuse not to write in their blogs, or to comment on someone elses!

Well thats about it!
your Truly agitated friend and family member,
Jennifer
