On Sunday the kids went to a birthday party in the neighborhood than we went looking for a garage sale (I’m on a mission to find a wagon!), than we stopped at the park for a bit…we got home just in time before it started pouring rain and than a double rainbow appeared, it was really weird, raining with sunshine and pouring rain at that. Calgary certainly has had it’s share of rain for June and we’ve had a few rainbows too.
I found this to be quite comical…a great laugh this AM! I can totally relate and I cannot wait for Monday to come because catalogues have been delivered in Calgary as of yesterday…waiting patiently…I don’t dare leave my house! This was posted Splitcoast by Roxi4Stamps.
UPS Memo
To: Drivers and Security
Date: June 20th , 2007
Subject: Crazy Stampin’Up! Ladies
This time of the year has come around once again. Stampin’Up! is releasing the New Idea Book and Catalog. Please be extremely cautious of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators (SUDs) for the next two weeks.
Watch out for the following:
1. At the distribution centers, please be on the lookout for SUDs. In the past they have been known to cut fences and sneak inside covered with close to coccoa ink in hopes of blending in with the trucks.
2. The ladies have been known to run after your trucks. If they catch you and ask if you have a “package” for them, be careful with your answer. They do not take “no” for an answer. If you do not have it, just say ” I will double check in the back” and turn and run as fast as you can to your truck and drive away. Do not turn back and look, just keep going until you are a safe distance away.
3. They have also been know to drive up next to you at a stop light in their mini vans and SUVs and ask if you have a package for them. Turn up your radio and pretend you cannot hear them. Do not let them approach your delivery truck at an intersection. SUDs have been know to stop traffic and throw all your packages off the trucks until they find their new Idea Book and catalog.
How to Deliver the New Idea Book and Catalog
1. Be sure you have fixed your squeaky brakes, If not – park your truck two blocks away so the SUD can not hear you coming.
2. Put in your earplugs and secure your safety glasses.
3. If you see children looking out the window, put your finger up to your lips and say “SHHHH”.. They are on a “lookout” for you and are being paid to “alert” their mothers (SUDs) when they see you coming to the door.
4. Approach the front door and very quietly, set the package down in front of the door (Make sure you place it in FRONT so when she opens the door, the box will be in the way and give you a little more time to escape).
5. Back up as far as you can and reach for the doorbell, (BE READY TO RUN !!!). Ring the doorbell and make a mad dash back to your truck and drive away….DO NOT LOOK BACK !!!
The UPS corporation is informing you of this because in the past years, SUDs have been known to scream at the top of their lungs with excitement and try to tackle you with hugs for delivering their catalogs. After you have been smothered with appreciation for getting them their catalogs on time, watch out for flying packaging material as they will open up the box before you have had a chance to leave , or they have gone inside.
Best of luck to you with this mission, and remember
Let’s Be Safe Out There!!!!
for clothes that is! I have shopped at Cotton Ginny forever…well the Power Centre’s here in Calgary (Shawnessy & Westhills) are having a big sale…40% off of everything in the store, the lowest ticketed price, lots of t-shirts, capri’s, tank tops, pants, etc. So if you don’t have any Summer clothes than this would be the time to shop. The sale is on till Sunday.

Fast facts on Mother’s Day:
Mother’s Day is the third-largest card-sending occasion of the year, after Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
Mother’s Day in North America is always on the second Sunday of May. This year it falls on may 13th.
Over 9 million Mother’s Day cards will be given this year.
Mother’s Day became an official day of celebration in 1914. Hallmark has been producing cards for this holiday since the early 1920s.
“Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible”
– Marion C. Garretty
I was watching Regis & Kelly one week and there was this girl on by the name of Lily Allen singing a song called “Smile” she is also now being played on Energy 101.5FM here in Calgary (http://www.energy1015.com/) well I was hooked, so I got her CD last night. You can visit her website here and listen to some of her songs online:

** Warning** If you are easily offended by the odd swear word…than don’t listen!
I have been tagged by Charmaine (http://oodabugalley.blogspot.com/2007/04/tagged.html) in this game I am suppose to tell you 7 things about myself…here we go:
1). I have 5 tattoos, the last one I got was in July of 2006 and I’m already starting to think about getting another one!
2). I am a Stay at Home Mom
3). I met my husband over the phone while at work…11 years ago now
4). I love Feta Cheese
5). I do not like to touch raw meat especially chicken
6). I absolutely COULD NOT live without email!
7). I’m an only child
Now I’m suppose to tag 7 other bloggers but I think they have all been tagged so I’m going to tag 2 that I know have not been tagged for sure!
1). Mz Penny (http://www.mzpennykreations.com/)
2). Bobbi (http://www.bobbijogrunewaldphotoaday.blogspot.com/)
Check out their blogs if you would like to see their answers!
I just want to commend the Calgary Herald for putting pictures of the victims of this horrible tragedy on the front cover of their paper instead of putting the sick, sick shooter on the cover of their papers (to sell papers perhaps?), why does the killer get to have his pathetic face plastered all over papers all over the country…I personally think we should not waste another thought, moment or breath on him, we need to let the families and friends of those killed and injured take the much needed time and help that they will need to get thru this difficult time.
http://digital.calgaryherald.com/epaper/viewer.aspx
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families and friends of the students and teachers murdered or injured…the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of this deeply disturbed individual.
If we can’t send our children to school and not worry about something like this happening than…I am just at a loss for words…something has to change.
What is our world coming to?
