Crash!

Last night we went to bed and watched the movie Crash. I had never seen it before. Its not a 'comfortable' movie to watch....VERY good though. It centres around a culturally and racially diverse neighbourhood in LA and how the various characters lives kind of criss-cross. The whole movie kind of made me sad and reminds me again that the US is still an extremely racially prejudiced country. It makes me wonder again whether that country is ready for a black President.

On that subject, Colin Powell was on the View again this morning. He always comes across as though he is such a great guy. He said he hasn't ruled out running one day.

I don't know if its because I was in a mixed race marriage or whatever or because I have mixed race children....but it makes me so sad when people judge each other on the colour of their skin.

Wedges!

DELICIOUS!!! Everyone said they were great! I think we will definitely be keeping a bag of these in the freezer for 'easy dinners' mmmmmmmnot that home made wedges are difficult but some days its nice to not even have to chop potatoes lol!

I don't like oven fries so this is a GREAT alternative! Try them!

Coscto wedges...

I normally make my own potato wedges which we LOVE...sometimes I put paprika on them...sometimes a little salt and pepper...sometimes plain.....but today we are trying the Costco potato wedges by Alexia - with Rosemary, olive oil and garlic. They are in the oven right now and they smell GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

can't wait to try them!!!!!! We're having them with a big salad and the children have these mini sausages with theirs...that are Mesquite garlic flavour!!!

Yep dinner tonight is mainly processed junk lol but it smells good :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Happy Birthday to my Brother In Law Jack.....he's over in Afghanistan at the moment - probably sipping a double double in the Timmys there lol!

Hope you had a great day there anyway!

I think he only has a couple of weeks left over there....I;m sure my sister said he would be home early February.......

How to get a toddler to sleep!

We were getting ready for bed last night around 10pm and Sam started diving off of the bed - I HAD to grab the camcorder! It was so funny - he's never done this before and Lloyd was soooooo NOT impressed lol - especially at 10pm but also because his precious little Samsam might get hurt lol! I just found it hysterically funny! Please ignore all the laundry everywhere - oh and Lloyd has Sams bedside lamp atm as he gave his to Laurie....omg ok just ignore our bedroom that needs a major reno and focus on my gorgeous little boy :)

Hhhmmmm

Some people are never ever EVER to blame are they????? Its amazing....

Shaking head......
