26 HOURS WITHOUT POWER

so, jason and the boys and i just survived through
26 hours without power.... it was funny to watch
brandon keep turning on light switches... not so
funny when our thermostat read 5 degrees...
things i learnt from the "blackout":
1) i love electricity
2) back in the day, people must have drank alot
in the evening...
3) i was not crazy to have my checklist for survival
4) i should have checked some stuff off on that
list...
5) one should own a generator

note: thanks to the brown's for taking my poor,
helpless family in for the day... with your sweet heat from the generator going...

blonde's have more fun?!?!?!

so, new hair color, new woman, right??? i'm not too sure about this whole brunette thing... i feel even whiter now...

this came after going in to get more blonde highlights - i can be easily persuaded... this proves that i am not a leader... i am a follower..

and this also proves that i take too many pictures of myself

so, not sure how many months i'll stay with this color for... i do think the summer will be calling my blonde tendancies back again...

ethan told me i had red hair and that he wants dark green hair... i'm so excited for him to go to a hairdresser some day and come home with dark green hair

Double Decker

so, this is what 'double decker' means in the kelly household... i'm pretty sure i grew up with sayings that no one else had and have passed this horrible tradition on to my boys...

for instance, yorkshire puddings... otherwise known as popovers... each family has a way of saying things.. mine, not so cool...

i'm not sure exactly how to tell brandon that the kids at school might not know or want to know what 'double decker' is... unfortunately, he already introduced this to one boy at playschool - i guess they went 'double decker' down the slide...

half time performance - should have been

as jason and i were driving home (ok, only he was driving and i had a headache as the sun was in my eyes, none the less, we were talking) we discussed possible better performances for the super bowl half time show...

these guys came to mind and we think this would be excellent for next year - PEARL JAM... who doesn't love pearl jam - i know nickelback seems like the obvious choice, but i've heard of alot of people, including myself, who don't like nickelback, but i've never heard a person say, 'i can't stand pearl jam', never heard it...

so, i'm sure this will get into the right hands and that i'll see pearl jam next year at half time

superbowl disappointments

so, i can tell you who didn't win the superbowl last night... the great steelers... and only because of a brutal start to their season...

but i was very happy to see tony dungee and the colts win... i'm neither here nor there about manning, and it's just annoying that he doesn't even show emotion or seem happy when he get's the ol' monkey off his back and finally wins a superbowl ring!!!... show some emotion!!! but i was happy for them and was wishing it wasn't raining so hard, which i think ruined the game...

anyways, that's all i have to say about it... either than i thought it was one of the most boring superbowl's i've seen, with the exception of the kick return on the first play of the game (which i failed to see anyways as i was still getting food ready)

and what's with PRINCE doing the halftime show... you can't tell me that the average football fan has PRINCE in his music collection!!! brutal... and Canada needs to show some better adds than trucks driving up mountains and turning into snakes...

there, had to be said, now i'll rest from football for awhile... on to MARCH madness soon...
