Redrawing Site

Well, I've learned a lot about web design over the last few weeks since I redid our company site , so I'm going to apply some of these techniques to this site... So if you see the fonts going a little wacky or the colors are a bit out of sync, don't dispair it will all soon fall into place within a few days. I only have few since Jan. 2nd it's back to work as usual.

Concretetv

Well, I haven't been on the web for days now but today I stumbled across this. I must say this guy sure likes editing clips. I'm not sure where he found the clips of guys slapping each other on the buttocks...

Found Barbie - Gift hiding

Just want to let everyone know I found Rapunzel Barbie... I just went off the beaten path to a Zellers Select store and there she was.

I was trying to find a spot to hide the gifts 'till Christmas. I pulled up a chair, peered over our bedroom high boy closet only to discover a gift for Jasmine I placed there last year for safekeeping. It wasn't even wrapped and had a years' worth of dust on it. Reminded me of the movie Christmas Vacation when rusty finds last years gift to his wife in a hiding spot. Well, I guess Jasmine gets a bonus gift this year...

Christmas Cat

Jasmine's going to get a special Christmas present this year. We're adopting a cat. One of our neighbours in our apartment building is looking for someone to take on their cat so I pounced on the opportunity. She claims her sone developed alergies this year and she can't have cats around. She has two of them so we're getting one.

Now this is a big step for us since this is our first walking pet. I mean we have a fish tank but it's not the same right? I'm just concerned with her scratching the leather couch and all. I will have to get her spayed but i'm not so sure about the declawing. There seems to be a mixed feeling out there on the subject. She will mainly be an indoor cat so defense is not an issue. Well, in any case, I'll keep an eye on her and see what the damadge is.

We are getting her on Cristmas day so that will be a treat. My kids have been talking about a pet (dog or cat) for some time but I have brushed it off at every mention of it. They seem to think they will never have a pet so when they see "Purr", the cats name, they will freek out!

I used to have a cat when i was single. I've always loved cats. Well, I know that's strange for a manly man to like cats but hey, guys like cats too ya know.

Rapunzel Barbie!!

It's amazing how the human mind works. We want a challenge, we thrive on acomplashing something - anything. We will go to great lengths to find that one item which we were told could not be found.

I'm on a mission. Jasmine wants Repunzel Barbie, she must have Repunzel Barbie. Walmart is sold out. Will this stop me? NO! I will persist, I will carry one regrdless, and find Repunzel Barbie...

Curly Hair

My daughter has curly hair. Is she blessed? I don't know. Every time we are in public, people (mostly women, men are too shy) come up to her and tell her how beautiful she is and what nice curly hair she has. Most women say how lucky she is that she has curly hair since they have to pay an arm and a leg to the hair dresser for the same effect. I've heard this over 100 times. Why do they have the need to say that I don't know. Jasmine just stands there with a smile on her face and says: "I know". And she's probably thinking ya ya move on lady, nothing to see here. I end up being a sideline, an ugly father sidekick to the angel-like god-child.

In the end, when she's a teenager just trying to find herself, I think Jasmine will probably buy all kinds of hair products and hot combs just to make her hair as flat as possible.
