Good things all at once...

So it has been a couple days since you have heard from me but as I told you- I have been in the process of negotiating for a house- and guess what... I am a very proud home owner. The house is beautiful. Move in day is set for December 14th! Yay 5 weeks! So in honour of my good news- I must share some hilarious photos.

 I plan on it..

I hope this isn't us...

Second set of good news; I had an interview on Wednesday (same day we bought the house)... and apparently it went really well, because I got a second interview on the spot. I also have to complete an evaluation but this is a step in the right direction! woo hoo.. teaching adults may be coming through! 

Soon I will be hearing students complain (I can only hope)!

And more good news- AMERICAN's aren't as dumb as they look (ok, yes offensive joke... blah blah blah). Well, they aren't except for Texas, and Donald Trump.  Congratulations Donald Trump on making an ass of yourself.... but much more importantly- OBAMA! 4 more years. Thank God, *yes God doesn't have to be republican!* women's right may continued to be protected by you. 

I don't know if you read the twitter's- but if you haven't... here is a saved copy of them... because Mr. Trump here intelligently decided he was going to write whatever he wanted in his twitter journal- where no one would ever find it. Luckily many smart people saved his tweets, before he deleted them; while I did see them before he deleted them I was not one of the smart people... but here you go... eat your heart out....

I wondered as I read these- he must be flexible, as he managed to put his foot in his mouth and his head in his ass all at the same time! 

...said Donald Trump's toupee! 

I know its kinda a short post- but its hilarious. At least I have been laughing at myself - even if you aren't laughing at all. 

Obama 2012- Women Right's are at Stake!

It is Election Day in the States... and as a proud Canadian, I must admit the choice for American's should be quite easy. But then I remember all the southern stereotypes. So today I put out a challenge for Americans- disprove your southern redneck stereotypes, get off your ass and vote #obama2012 (yes hastag- check out twitter #obama2012 #voteobama #election2012). The fun part is Obama is at least trending on twitter, no sign of Romney!

Look, its easy guys- you go out and vote... and while it may be a little more complicated for you Americans (your system is a little bit different)- I cannot find any excuse for you to not do it.

And American Women, do you really want your health options to be decided by a man who things rape babies are a gift from God? Really, so that child for the rest of it's life can be known as the rape baby? Even if the baby doesn't know it the rest of their family will. It is not a little miracle, it was an abuse, a crime, that the woman would have to take care of for the rest of her life. I'm not saying I support abortion, cause personally I don't think I could do it, but I have NO REASON (even with all my religious beliefs), to tell someone in that situation, or in any situation in their life that it is not their choice. You know what it is not my choice, and for sure, it is not ROMNEY's choice. And how could you stand by someone who could stand by another man who believes in Legitimate rape. There is no such thing. Rape is rape. Just like no means no. If we start believing that women can mean yes when they say no- we might as well through the whole concept of rape out the window, and go back to the stone age.

And for anyone who doesn't know how a vagina works, it is pretty simple. It is a vagina, no magical powers. Pregnancy happens, when a man ejaculates in a vagina, and the sperms head up to the eggs and there is your miracle of life. (Now ask a pregnant woman if it is a miracle or the biggest pain in the ass). Look, there is no magic barrier, there is no way that a woman can prevent becoming pregnant without birth control, without condoms, and without the Morning After Pill. If you don't like it, don't use it- but don't hate on those who do- and don't remove someone else's right to. We can't all be like the Duggars (how many kids and counting?). Well maybe in today's society, we should be offering free birth control, so that families who can't afford kids don't have kids. So that way, people can pay for their living expenses, women don't have to take time off work that they cannot afford.

So men, think of your daughters, your mothers, your wives, your grandmothers, your granddaughters, your nieces, your baby sitters, your students, your neighbours, your cousins, your aunts. think of all those women who love you so much, and do America a favour. Vote Obama 2012.

On another personal note, not only is remembrance day, or Movember, it is all Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. So Please Wear Purple- even if it is just for Patrick Swayze.

A case of the mondays...

Good Evening all,
It is another monday. Today was awful. (are you surprised?)

My lovely boss is late on my paycheque again.... no clients came in all day. No confirmed calls all day. and shit just did not go well.

And it is cold. Last year, when I was up north in Timbuktu it was cold; where as home, had lovely warm weather- this year it is -2 in November. Last year, they got -2 in January .... I am not happy.

And furthermore- I'm just grumpy on mondays. If I am not; then you know something is seriously wrong with me.

I agree. 

But I found something that I just have to share. It is something that made my day- wanted me to run to the tree tops and exclaim: "Female Book Worms Unite" or "GIRL POWER"! And then I may have to rip of my bra and set it on fire... while waving a book around 

well here take a look for yourself... 

I would love to hear your thoughts.

It is really empowering to believe that women and intelligence are something to feared. Makes it seem like the reason we are still not achieving equal pay and rights around the world (and here at home)- is because the world is intimidated by us- and they should be. 

I don't mean to complain- but I can't help but notice in how many relationships women take care of getting things done- maybe not the handiwork of fixing a faucet, but the planning, the phone calls, the business of life, and men just sit back. ... I should make a note here: my man to be is not like this... he is not as into grabbing chores by the horns as I am- but he doesn't just sit back. I may have to ask him, "hey can you do this" aka he lacks the initiative, but I don't worry about it not getting done. But Honestly, I do ask him to work on his initiative a little more. 

Anyways, hope you all have a lovely day. I will keep you informed if we do buy a home! :)
