I think he threw it out!

by

I seem to write about my food cravings on this blog. I don’t know why, but I do.

The latest craving is popcorn. Something I can’t eat due to my Crohns. Just trust me, it makes it worse. Way worse.

Anyway, last night I was determined to have some popcorn so I went looking for my popcorn machine. Wouldn’t you know it I couldn’t find it.

Obviously we don’t use it very often with me not tolerating popcorn or even corn very well, but every once in a while, like once a year, I allow myself to have a tiny taste.

I have the sneaking suspicion that my husband either gave the popcorn machine away or threw it out just to keep me from eating this dangerous delicacy.

I’ll have a look around in our basement just in case we stored it down there due to lack of space in the kitchen, but I don’t think I’ll find it. It’s gone. So naturally without my craving satisfied I’m really jonesing for a handful of popcorn.





Recovering from a very busy weekend!

by

Well we had our family reunion this past weekend. After five days of getting together with my family I’m totally exhausted. It seems like we were always on the go.

The major highlights of the weekend were attending a baseball game – our team the Blue Jays won of course, seeing some of the cast of Heroes at the game, going on a boat cruise and gazing at the lovely city skyline at sunset from the boats deck, a big family barbecue, going to the beach on the hottest day of the weekend, dining in restaurants twice with family members and going to see my nephews photos at an art gallery.

Busy, busy, busy!

To top it all off on Sunday and Monday I really wasn’t feeling well at all. You know I have Crohns … well I thought I might need to buy some incontinence products! Yeah that’s how bad I was feeling and my stomach was just gurgling. It was awful, but I made it through.

Still, even thought I didn’t feel all that well over the weekend I enjoyed myself. I don’t get to see one of my brothers or his family very often since they live on the other side of our large country so I always try to make the best of his visits.

Did you have a nice holiday weekend? Oh … perhaps you didn’t have a long weekend. It was Labor day here on Monday and that’s a statutory holiday so all of North America had a long weekend.

Now that’s what I call Pulling a Trish!

Oh Geez! I’m such a klutz!

I just put the laptop computer down on the table in front of me and I was attempting to go to the kitchen to get a drink and take some of my medication.

I didn’t get that far!

I got my leg caught in the cord for my optical mouse! I stumbled and went flying into the lazy boy chair several feet away. Head first!

I’m so glad that Chris is in bed and didn’t see that. I’d never live it down!

I think I might be in need of high risk life insurance. I mean, I’m going to be on a boat cruise on Saturday night. A boat! With my luck I’ll fall overboard!

Storms, power outages and computers! Oh My!

It looks like we’re going to have a good storm here!

Yesterday when I got up I was surprised to find that it was already 32 Celsius outside and the humidity was making it feel like it was 40 celcius! That’s darn hot! I have a desktop weather network widget on my computer and all day it was flashing warnings that we were expecting a severe storm. That always seems to happen when it gets to be outrageously hot outside.

Well of course it never rained during the day!

Now it’s four a.m. and I can see lightening all round and I hear thunder off in the distance. So I guess we’re getting our storm. We certainly need the rain.

I hate storms though. for some reason the power goes out about half the time whenever the power goes out. I always worry about my nice TV set, it’s a Samsung DLP HDTV and I’d hate for a power surge to cause a problem. Yes we do have a power surge protector but still I worry.

You see, back when we had that big blackout in 2003 that affected something like 50 million people across Ontario and the North Eastern United States we must have had a power surge. It either happened when the power went out or when the power came back on.

All but my desktop computer were ok. You see the power surge did something to the computers power supply and the computer just wouldn’t work. We had to look up power supply repair companies. In the end we just bought a new power supply, but we did have a bit of trouble finding the right power supply for our computer. What a pain!

So you can see why I worry about whatever electrical equiptment I’m using when a storm crops up can’t you?

I think I’m afraid to cruise

by

Have you ever gone on one of those caribbean cruises? I’ve always wanted to, but I’ve been hesitant.

Why?

Well the idea of being out on the water for that long bothers me for some reason. I can swim. I’m not afraid of water at all. In fact I often say that I was born in a canoe (not literally!). I’ve been a canoist all my life, but it’s mostly been on creeks, rivers and lakes. I’ve also white water canoed and rafted.

So yeah, I’m not afraid of water. I think I’m just afraid of open water. The ocean.

I know it’s irrational. Cruise ships travel at night and dock in different ports during the day letting passengers out to visit whatever island their docked in for the day. So it’s not like I’d be out in the middle of nowhere on the water for a week or two.

One day I will go on a Caribbean cruise. I did promise my sister when she was sick that I would, so I have to. I’m just nervous about it.

Anyone else feel that way about cruises?
