It’s the May 24 weekend already!

by

I didn’t realize until yesterday that this weekend is our famous May 24 weekend here in Canada. I have no idea why we are having our Victoria Day weekend so early. Very odd. I think the long weekend should be the following weekend, but I guess not this year.

Anyway, now that I’m up to date as to which weekend is our long weekend I now realize we have a few party invitations that we have to decide whether to accept or not.

Some old friends of ours are having an outdoor barbecue and party on Saturday night. I’m pretty sure we’ll go to that, but I’m not sure we’ll make it to another friends Sunday brunch if we go to the party on Saturday night!

On both Sunday and Monday evening we’ve been invited to join a few friends to watch the fireworks at two different areas in the city. Monday nights will be the most spectacular as the ones we’ll go to see are the Cities Victoria Day Fireworks at Ashbridges Bay.

Perhaps we’ll do what we did a few years ago to avoid the crowds. We went to the boardwalk on the beach with our folding lounge chairs and sat on the beach rather than going right to Ashbridges Bay park. It was much nicer to do it that way. Of course if it’s cold out it might be better to be in the crowd rather than sitting on a cold windy beach.

Any other Canadians planning on attending Victoria Day celebrations?





Diet pills for dogs?

by

You know, before we got our puppy I didn’t really know how many different products were out there for cats and dogs. We’d always kept reptiles and this is our first experience with having a dog for both of us.

The pet market is a huge industry! I knew it was, but I didn’t realize how many companies specialize in clothing for pets and pet medicines and so on. People will do anything for their pets won’t they?

I was really surprised a few months ago when I was flipping through a magazine and I saw an ad for diet pills for dogs. I think there’s television commercials for the product too.

I have to say that I really don’t agree with the idea of giving a dog diet pills. I mean unless it’s in poor health and that causes it to be very inactive. Putting the dog on a diet, not feeding it table scraps and extra snacks and taking it out for more walks is the way to go.

What do you think of diet pills for dogs?

Picked up some new skin treatments

by

A few weeks ago when Chris and I were shopping in a pharmacy I decided to try some new skin products. I had wanted to buy a mask – you know one of those skin purifying pore cleansing masks. I used to use them when I was a teenager and when I first moved to Toronto, but then I stopped. My skin always felt so great after giving it a treatment.

So Chris and I were walking around the skin cream and acne treatment aisle and I found two masks that I wanted to try. One is a mask my St. Ives that you leave on till it dries and then peel off and the other is kind of like a mud mask.

The second treatment is by Biore. It’s their self heating mask and it’s fantastic! It’s a white paste with tiny blue dots in it that you apply with slightly moist fingers. As the formula gets wet it heats up and as you massage this heat mask into your face it cleans and purifies your skin.

Have you tried it? If you haven’t but want to try it I recommend using it at night just before you go to bed. The heat massage is very relaxing. You’ll love it.

Need inspiration for celebrity blogging

by

You know, I’ve got a celebrity related blog, but I haven’t written in it much lately.

Oh there’s lots of celebrity news that I could be reporting, but I think when just about all the young stars and their dogs were in drug rehab I just felt “What’s the point” in regards to writing about it.

Even though I haven’t written in that blog much this year at all it’s still quite popular. It gets a lot of hits every day. I really should get it going again. I guess I’ll have to try to find some inspiration and hope that the young stars stay out of trouble.

Strange code in my WordPress files

by

A few weeks ago I noticed that some of my wordpress blogs said that I was using version 2.5. Odd … I haven’t upgraded to the newest version of WordPress yet and the blogs that said I was using 2.5 weren’t even upgraded to 2.33 yet either.

I think I’ve finally figured out what happened. On April 10th I must have been hit by a bug … maybe through my FTP program or by visiting someones website. Several files in each of my blogs (those that say version 2.5 and all the rest) have a line of code in them that wasn’t there before.

So the last few days have been spent going over each file, and all the files on my CMS run website as well as another website to remove the added code. I’m almost done repairing the files. Unfortunately the blogs that say they are using the highest version of WP still say that even though I’ve cleaned all the files.

Weird eh?

Another thing that I’ve come to realize this past few days is that I need more ram in my laptop as I’ve had tons of windows open in my browser as well as several programs running at once as I’ve searched out the affected files on my sites and the computer just gets slower and slower.

I know how to upgrade a desktop computer but I’ve never upgraded a laptop. This should be fun!

Anyone else find odd lines of code at the top of their WP files – even theme files – in the last while? Maybe there’s a new bug going around. Whatever it is my antivirus program didn’t catch it!
