5 Minute Cakes in a Mug

2011-12-04T11:49:00.001-06:00

I was sent a recipe to make a chocolate cake in a mug. It seemed so silly, that I just had to try it. Low & behold….it worked!! It even tasted good!! Here are a couple of recipes for this. Once is for a chocolate cake & the other is for a yellow/white cake. Enjoy.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons ~~milk~~ water
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
I shared mine with my whole list cause if I'm gonna get fat you need to do it too!

Baking powder version

You can also use baking powder in which case it will be lighter (simply add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to each mug when you add the flour)

*I haven’t tried it with the baking powder….yet

Just finished in the microwave.

In the plate...mmmm

Here’s the recipe for a white/yellow cake in a mug. I haven’t tried this…yet.

Yellow Cake in a Mug

Ingredients

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons sugar

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

3 tablespoons water

3 tablespoons oil

dash vanilla extract or lemon extract (or whatever flavor you would like)

1 large coffee mug

How to make it

Add the dry ingredients to the cup and stir together.

Stir in the egg, water, oil and extract of choice.

Microwave for 3 minutes (1000 watts).

The cake should rise to the top of the mug.

Allow to cool a little and turn out onto a plate.

This would actually serve 2-4 easily, but if you want to indulge and eat it all, I won't tell.

And now…a picture of Chance

She was burying her nose in the blankets on the couch.

Enjoy the cakes.

A Mish-Mash of Pictures

2011-01-27T11:08:00.001-06:00

I realized that I haven’t posted a blog in quite awhile now. This blog is a combination of a lot of different pictures. Let’s start.

This morning, when I looked outside, the fog was heavy. The trees were covered in frost. What a good opportunity for some interesting pictures. Here’s the result of the pictures that I took.

The backyard.

Trying to take a close up shot of a branch.

Looking up at a frost covered tree. Nice effect.

Another close up of a branch.

Still another close up of a branch. Very hard to get a good shot.

This is the choke cherry bush that’s in the yard. It’s pretty much buried in the snow.

Next, we have a few pictures of the deer that are being fed on the yard. It’s a pretty good Christmas pictures, as they are standing under a decorated arch.

We’ve been watching these 2 specific deer, since just after they lost their spots. It’s nice to see them all grown up.

Christmas came & went. The weather wasn’t too bad. Pictures were taken, but not necessarily getting posted here.

Next, we have pictures of Chance. There always has to be some pictures of her.

A close up shot of her.

Cuddling with her blankie.

Cuddling with here blankie. She was snuggling it a lot that day.

Another close up shot of her. She really didn’t want to have her picture taken. She wanted to sleep.

Relaxing half on the couch, half on the ottoman. She loves relaxing like that.

This is Chance’s Christmas card. It was sent to some of her online doggie friends.

Here she is, really comfortable. She actually sleeps like this.

Relaxing on her couch, snuggling with her blankie.

I made a photo Christmas card of Marty & myself. This is the result.

That’s all the pictures, for this time. Now, about our weather. It’s been quite cold here since just after Christmas. We’ve hit the –40C mark a few times. We’ve gotten quite the amount of snowfall. Snow has to be cleaned at least once a week. Hopefully, not much more will be acquired, but that’s likely not going to happen. The weather is once again going to turn cold. Let’s hope that it doesn’t stay so cold for too long. That’s all the news there is for now. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

The snow blower

2010-12-05T16:08:00.001-06:00

I thought I’d share a few videos with you. These are from a snow blower that Marty had made. The blower started out as a 24” walk behind & is now a 42” one that goes on the front of the lawn tractor.

The 1st video is the very 1st time it is started.

snow blower running

The 2nd video is the very 1st time it is being used.

1st running

The 3rd video is the 2nd time it was being used.

2nd running

The 4th video is after a breakdown & a few tweaks. It’s got a crank now for turning the chute too. Look at the distance that it throws the snow.

4th running

The final video is of the crank. The universal joint is homemade.

That’s all of the videos of it. Here are some pictures of what it started out as.

Mounted on the tractor. It’s powered by its own 15 hp motor.

I hope that you enjoyed this.

A Quick Update

2010-10-28T20:35:00.001-05:00

Just a quick to to say that all’s good here. The weather is starting to cool down & the ugly white stuff will soon fall.

Halloween is just around the corner. The 29th, tomorrow, is my birthday. Happy Birthday to me.

Now, for Halloween…

And, a picture of Chance.

ok, 2 pictures.

A family picture from this summer.

And, a picture of the deer.

I was wrong, 2 pictures.

Here’s Chance sleeping.

Have a good weekend.

July has arrived

2010-07-10T10:31:00.001-05:00

Well, it’s now July. It’s already been a busy month. 1st, there was Canada Day. We didn’t do much that day. Next, came our 18th wedding anniversary on July 4th. We had a BBQ on the 3rd with family & friends. On the Sunday, the 4th, we went out for supper, just the 2 of us. I’ve rebuilt a computer this month, already & brought it back to its home. It’s working well now. We’ve had so much rain, that now there are tons of mosquitoes.

Chance update:

Chance hasn’t been feeling quite like herself this past week. Her tummy has been a bit “off” I think that now, she’s starting to feel like herself again.

Here’s some new pictures of Chance.

Here she is, lying on the bed. She didn’t want to get off either.

Here she is, in her kennel, playing with a soccer ball. She had a lot of fun with that ball.

This picture was taken from above her. She’s lying on her back. She was really comfy.

My Flowers:

I’ve got a lot of flowers that are in bloom right now. Here are some pictures of them.

A peony

Another peony, with raindrops on

A lady slipper. This was growing wild in the back yard.

Another peony.

Not sure what this is, we were given it. It looks pretty when it’s in bloom.

A yellow flowering bush.

A lily

A white tiger lily

A yellow lily

A bunch of white tiger lilies

A bunch of the yellow lilies.

A visitor:

We had a visitor one warm afternoon.

This young buck found a nice shady tree to lie under. He was there for quite awhile.

Water everywhere:

We’ve had so much rain, that we’ve got water sitting where it usually doesn’t.

This waterhole is usually dry. As you can see, it’s almost full to the top. There must be at least 10’ of water in there or more.

Videos:

I took a couple of videos.

The 1st one is of Chance playing with a soccer ball.

The 2nd one, is of one of the Rainstorms that we had. It shows how much rain had fallen, in a short time.

That’s all there is, for now. Enjoy.

A Miscellaneous bunch of stuff

2010-05-25T11:37:00.001-05:00

Here’s a bunch of different pictures, as well as a couple of videos.

We planted over 200 Iris’ a few weeks ago. A few of them had buds on & this is what they looked like.

The lilacs are in bloom. There aren’t a lot of flowers this year. This one, stood out from all of the rest. It normally is purple, with with around the edges. It’s the only flower on the tree that looks the way it does.

Chance doing what she does best.

Here she is, just standing around sniffing the air & listening to the birds sing.

Eating kibbles.

Another pink sky

You just gotta love the sunsets.

Now, for a couple of videos.

Here’s Chance, just standing around in her kennel, listening to the birds.

On May 24th, Victoria Day evening, we had a thunderstorm. This was taken at about 11pm. The storm was just getting started. I went outside to take some video. This is one of 4 different videos that I took.

That’s all for now. All is well here. Enjoy the videos, pictures, as well as the nice weather.

A much required update

2010-04-19T11:39:00.001-05:00

Wow, it’s been quite awhile since my last blog post. Things have been crazy & busy here at the same time. And, this crazy, busy has not always been good either. Now….where to start.

It all started in February. I found out that I had to find a new place for my parents & 2 uncles to live. Who on earth moves in the middle of winter?! That wasn’t even the half of all of our stress. Marty, also had to go in for a biopsy/ day surgery thing. Let’s add stress upon stress. That went well. It was a long day, but all is good. There was nothing serious. Thank goodness!

By mid February, found my uncle becoming ill. He went into the hospital for about a week & was then released. He was home for about 2 days, then the ambulance had to be called in. Still something was not right. He had another infection! Not good at all. It was found, through tests, that he had a single gall stone, that was stuck. They transferred him to Winnipeg to do this procedure to “blast” it. That went well. He started getting better. The doctors moved him up into rehab unit, to evaluate him. They needed to see if he was strong enough to ever go back home or if a nursing home would be the next step.

He was doing quite well….for awhile. We then found him getting ill again. Another infection!!! This was just not good at all. By then, we were into March & I still hadn’t found a place for my parents & uncles to move to. They moved him back to the ward, in the hospital. He was not doing well at all. He was very ill & weak.

Sad to say, he did not make it. From the time that they moved him from rehab back to the ward, to the day that he passed, was only a few days. So, now amongst all of this stress, more stress was added. It was very hard on my dad. This was his identical twin brother.

On a good note, I did find them a new place to move to. They moved exactly 1 week after my uncles funeral. They like where they are living now & it’s perfect for them. There are no stairs to climb. Everything is on 1 level.

Now, we’re into end of March-April. The weather here is really nice. I’ve never seen it so nice this early in the spring! All of our snow is gone already & it’s really dry. That’s not good either. The wood ticks are starting to emerge & I really dislike those! My perennials are starting to come up already. The robins are back & singing happily during the very early mornings.

I took a few pictures a few weeks ago of a beautiful spring sunset. Here they are.

And now, an update on Chance & a few pictures of her.

Chance isn’t doing too badly. She is, however, having a tough time with her nails again. They’ve started to separate…again. They’ve been like this for a couple of weeks now. She’s been trying to remove the offending nails, but they’re just not ready to come off yet. So far, there haven’t been any infections. That’s good. She has had a few tummy issues, but nothing serious. I’m thinking that it’s all related to her sore feet. She’s still playing with her toys & eating her food. That’s a good sign that she doesn’t have any infection. You all will be informed, if she does develop one. We know it will happen, we just don’t know when it’ll happen. Now, here are a few pictures that were taken of her.

Here she is, relaxing with her head on the ottoman.

Same position, just taken further away.

Here she is lying on her couch, burying her nose in her blanket.

Just closer up. You can see just how comfy she is.

That’s all there is for now. Hopefully, it won’t take me so long to do another blog. Let’s hope that all that stress is finally gone now.

Have a good week.

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-24T14:01:00.001-06:00

Twas the Night before Christmas Poem

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

Here’s Chance lying on the bed, waiting for when she can open her Christmas presents.

We wish everybody a safe & Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

New Blog

2009-11-29T14:11:00.001-06:00

Apparently, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted a new blog. There’s not much been happening. The weather has been quite nice during the month of November. Lots of sunshine & warm temps. There’s even been no snow. We’ve only started to get cooler, more normal like weather & a little bit of snow.

As always, here are some new pictures.

Chance lying beside her daddy.

A full moon. It wasn’t quite dark yet, when this was taken.

Same moon, different angle.

Pretty sunset

This was taken in the eastern part of the sky.

Same sunset, just taken at a different angle.

Chance, all stretched out on her couch.

Chance, still by her daddy. lol

That’s all for now.

Even a bigger “pebble”

And last, but not least…..a video.

Enjoy.

Finally, a new blog

2009-09-10T10:43:00.001-05:00

I’ve been slacking off lately. Apparently, a new blog hasn’t been posted since mid August. Not much exciting has been going on here, just the usual stuff.

We currently had a total of maybe 2 good weeks of summer. The rest of the summer, was rain. With all this rain, comes tons on mosquitoes.

I think they’re that big too. lol You’ve got to put on a winter jacket, just to take the dog out. lol Chance can’t even stay outside for long periods of time. Them skeeters will pick her up & carry her off.

Now, here are some new random pics that I’ve taken.

Here’s a deer that was in the yard one morning.

Same deer, same day…deer looking at car. (we were in the car, on our way out of the yard)

Here’s Chance. She was trying to sleep when I took this picture.

Here she is again. She really wanted to sleep & didn’t want her picture taken.

This picture was taken last night. The moon was half gone. I changed the angle where I was standing, so that the trees were in the picture. I’m still experimenting with taking pictures in the dark.

That’s all there is for now. I haven’t been able to take any video of a storm or Chance playing. Perhaps soon…..

More Random Pictures and an Update

2009-08-14T11:12:00.001-05:00

The past few days have been quite interesting here. 1st, we finally got some summer-like weather. It’s been hitting the mid 30’s C. A little bit too warm for my liking, but at least it warmed up. With all that heat & humidity, it sparked some pretty intense thunderstorms. We’ve had lots of rain, a couple of inches in 2 days; lots of thunder, lightning & even some hail. Let’s not forget about the winds too.

Other than heat & storms, things have been good here. Chance has finally lost all of her nails, so not her feets aren’t so sore anymore. That’s always a good thing. She’s been eating, sleeping & playing with her toys. All is good with her now.

Now, here are a whole bunch of new random pics.

Here’s Chance, lying down with her new stuffy

Same picture, different angle. She was almost asleep here.

Now, here she is lying on her couch, cuddling that stuffy.

This is one of my lilies.

Here is a white/cream coloured Tiger Lily.

This was taken just before a storm.

Same storm day, just a little bit different part of the sky.

A pink sky sunset

Another pic of it.

My mom’s lilies in an old tire.

A bunch of white Tiger Lilies.

I finally figured out the setting to take a picture at night time of the moon. I thought it looked really interesting, as it was rising.

That’s all of the new pictures that I’ve got right now. I’m hoping that if we get a daytime thunderstorm, I’ll be able to actually video the sky. That’s my goal right now. Have a good weekend everybody.

More pictures of Chance for her 6th Woof day

This is Chance at 4 weeks old. My, was she tiny.

Now, here are some more recent pictures of her.

Here she is, all flakes out on the couch. I think that this is her most favourite position.

Here she is, lying on the couch. She’s on her daddy’s blanket.

We came home one morning from coffee & this is how we found her. She didn’t move for quite awhile.

Same position, just a different angle.

This was taken for Canada Day. She was not impressed by that hat on her head.

Here she is, standing in her kennel, looking in the back yard for bunnies.

Here she is relaxing. I thought it was cute. She keeps having these Kodak moments. lol

Some Random Pics & a Video

2009-06-26T14:35:00.001-05:00

Here are some random pictures & a video of Chance.

Here’s Chance, all curled up, relaxing on her couch.

A close up shot of her on her couch. Very relaxed.

Here’s a couple of kittens from this spring. They’re quite wild & run when they see you.

Here’s that same little orange kitten, peeking around a corner.

The clouds looked neat. Reminded me of a quarter moon shape. This was taken at about 9:30pm.

Same evening, just a different part of the sky. I do believe that it did start to rain a little bit after I took these.

My peonies are starting to bloom.

Another pic of the peonies.

A nice close up shot.

Coming into our yard.

The pot of flowers with a solar light in the middle. The other side of the driveway is the same. Don’t look too close, the flowers aren’t real. We used silk ones for this year.

And last, a new pic of Chance. Here she is just standing & looking. Not exactly sure what she’s looking at, though. Still a nice pic of her.

Last of all….a new video of Chance in her kennel.

That’s all for this week. I hope you enjoyed everything. Have a good weekend.

A Picture of Chance

2009-06-12T11:16:00.001-05:00

Here’s the latest picture of Chance.

She’s doing not too bad. She still has sore feet. She’s limping right now because she’s got 1 really stubborn nail that just doesn’t want to fall. We’ve got pills to take the ouchies away, when it’s required. Right now, we’re hoping that she’s not getting another infection because of it. We’ll be keeping a close eye on that foot. All in all, she’s not doing too badly.

That’s all that’s been going on. Have a good weekend all.

Time for another Chance moment

2009-05-17T13:40:00.001-05:00

Seeing that it’s a long weekend here & we’re not doing anything out of the normal. It’s time for another Chance moment.

1st I’ll re-embed the video of her running & digging in her kennel. This is for anybody who missed it the previous time.

Now, here are the latest few pics of Chance doing what she does best. Sleeping on her couch, snuggling with her blankie.

Thank-you for sharing this Chance moment with me. Happy Victoria Day to all my fellow Canadians. Happy holiday, to anybody else who has one tomorrow.

Chance running & digging

2009-05-04T14:37:00.001-05:00

Here's this weeks blog. It’s a video of Chance running & digging in her kennel. She had a lot of fun when I recorded her, but after not so much. She was so busy digging, that she totally forgot about her sore toes. Later that evening, she was limping a bit & her foot was sore. She got an owie pill, to help with that. She ended up having to need one for 2 nights. All is good now, her foot isn’t so sore. Perhaps she’ll listen next time when I tell her not to dig yet. Enjoy the video.

Some pictures to end the week

2009-04-24T14:23:00.001-05:00

Here are some pictures to end off the week. The 1st 2 are of a deer that was by my mother in law’s house. It’s beside the 2nd oak tree. The pictures were taken at about 200-300 feet from where I was standing.

She was looking right at me.

Here, she’s starting to leave. She didn’t like the sound of the camera or maybe it was me standing there looking at her.

The next 2 pictures are of Chance. We’ve got to have some Chance pics in every blog!!! We had bought her her own blanket, so that she can bury her nose in it when she sleeps. She really enjoys doing that!

Here, she’s more interested in checking out her nails.

Here she is, just relaxing all nice & cozy warm under her new blanket. So comfy….

That’s all for this week. Enjoy the pictures & have a good weekend. Hopefully, the weather will be nice.

Some outside pics

2009-04-12T11:05:00.001-05:00

I took a few pictures the other day & they looked rather neat, I think. 2 are from a sunset. The sky is really pink. The others are from a small tree that was on the north side of the garage. Enjoy the pics & Happy Easter.

And of course, no blog would be complete without at least 1 new picture of Chance.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these pictures. Have a Happy Easter.

An Update on Chance and some new Pictures

2009-03-30T12:17:00.001-05:00

Here’s an update on how Chance is doing. So far, she’s lost only a couple of nails. They’re still separating, though. It just takes awhile for them to all fall off. She’s still on antibiotics & will be for the next 2 weeks. She usually has to take them for a total of 3 weeks. She’s eating a bit more & is starting to play with her toys again. She doesn’t play long, but at least she’s playing. Just the other day, she took just about all of her toys out of her basket & played with each of them for a minute or so. Just the other day, she wanted to dig in the sand in her kennel.

All in all, she’s doing a lot better. Pretty soon, she’ll be back to her old self….playing, dancing, digging & even stealing stuff. lol Here are some new pictures that were taken of her. Enjoy.

Relaxing on the couch.

Still on the couch, just with her head up.

She really didn't want me to take her picture. She just wanted to sleep some more. She was half asleep in a couple of the pictures.

That’s about all for now. I’ll keep you posted, as Chance improves.

A computer upgrade and a Chance update

2009-03-19T12:07:00.001-05:00

I did a computer upgrade last week. Not a major upgrade, as in hardware, but a case & power supply upgrade. I got a new case, a new dvd burner (I had both of mine die in 1 week), new power supply & a hard drive. The hard drive wasn’t a planned upgrade, it was a necessary one.

I got all the necessary stuff for my computer upgrade, minus the hard drive. I went to my nephew’s because I needed his help for a few things. We got everything switched over & then it was time to boot up. Well….! Nothing happened. I took it back to the table, removed all my pci stuff i.e. video card, tv tuner card, modem, ram. All that fun stuff & put everything back in again. This time something did happen. A noise & not a good one. I shut off the pc as quickly as I could & removed the hard drive. It got connected to another pc to check it out. Found out that it died. :( Not good at all. I lost everything on there! At least, I thought I did.

The next day, I was told to put it into my external hard drive case & connect it to my laptop. I tried 1 program to see if I could get the partition back, but it didn’t work. :( I tried another program to try to get my data. That worked! yayyy!!! Maybe now, I’ll learn to back up my important stuff up everyday.

So, this is what I had gotten for my pc case upgrade & how it looks now.

The case, power supply & new burner.

Still all in the protective bag. :D

The finished product.

A close up of the side.

In the dark room. Look at all the pretty lights.

Again of the side panel.

Now, for an update on Chance. Chance isn’t feeling very well right now. We think that she’s starting an infection, due to her auto immune. Her nails are starting to separate again & her toes are sore. She doesn’t want to play, she’s not eating much & she’s sleeping more than usual. We’ll be going to her vets to get her some anti-biotics to make her feel better. Hopefully, we caught the infection early enough, so that it doesn’t take her a long time to bounce back. Here are a few newer pics that were taken of her.

Relaxing on the couch. She’s actually lying behind her daddy.

Curled up, sleeping. Shhh…..let’s not wake her.

Close up of her sleeping.

Snuggling with daddy’s blanket.

Close up of her snuggling the blanket.

Well, that’s about all for now. Thanks for visiting & I hope you enjoy the pictures. Have a good weekend.

New video of Chance

2009-03-06T12:52:00.001-06:00

Since there’s not much going on here, except for freezing rain & snow, I decided to take a new video of Chance. This time, she’s in her kennel running around in the snow. Enjoy.

Taz’s Birthday

2009-02-27T12:48:00.001-06:00

Today, February 27, 2009 would have been Taz’s 15th birthday. It’s coming up to a year since he’s been gone, so this blog is dedicated to his birthday. Here are some pics of him from when he was little to his very last birthday pic.

Taz at 8 weeks old

Taz used to like lying on his daddy’s back. lol

Here is Taz being silly.

This is the very 1st time that Taz saw snow.

Here he is, looking out the window.

Sharing 2 chairs with daddy.

Sharing cake batter, with LadyBear.

One of the last pics he had with his LadyBear.

Just relaxing on the floor.

On the bed, one of his most favourite places to sleep.

Enjoying the warmth of outside, in the shade.

This was the very last pic that was ever taken of him.

This was his 14th birthday pic from last year.

He’s crossed the Rainbow Bridge now.

Happy Birthday, our dear Taz.

One of those days…

2009-02-18T13:37:00.001-06:00

Have you ever had one of those days when everything you do or touch goes wrong? Well that’s me this week.

On Monday, I had this thing for dropping stuff. It didn’t matter what it was, I’d drop it. I did get over that when the next thing happened. I was burning a disc, when the program that I was using aborted the burning process. No big deal, I thought to myself. The disk must be bad. I put a different one into the drive & the strangest thing happened. It didn’t load the blank disk at all! I tried to open the drive, but it didn’t want to even open. So, I took a paperclip & pushed it into the little hole. Well….what a sound it made! I had to pull the drawer open to get the disk out. It now does not work at all. I’m thinking that the aborted burning process was the start of the drive dying.

On Tuesday, things didn’t get much better. Chance had puked up some water. This happens from time to time because she swallows too much air when she drinks. Not a big deal. I went into the room where we store the extra paper towels to get a new roll. On the way out, I tripped onto the step! In 16 years, I’ve never done that. Well, I ended up stepping really hard with my right leg. OUCH!!! I had hurt my bad knee, again. I could barely walk for the rest of the day. I even ended up going to bed early because it was so sore. Oh yeah, I was still spilling stuff. I spilt some tea on my desk before I went to bed.

This morning my knee is still sore, but not quite as bad. I had put a tensor on it overnight & for the morning. I’m still limping quite a bit & if I’m not careful, it sort of twists & gets really owie. I’m hoping that within a few days, it’ll feel better. I’m still spilling, as of this morning.

To make the day/week better, here are a few new pics of Chance. They’re always good to cheer up anybody. Enjoy and thanks for listening to my bad week, so far.

Crazy February Weather

2009-02-10T11:24:00.001-06:00

We’ve been having some really crazy weather here over the past few days. It all started Sunday over night, into Monday morning. We got rain & lots of it. Freezing rain to be precise. That made for most of Southern Manitoba to shut down. The roads were like a shiny skating rink. I didn’t take any pictures of that, but I did take some pictures of what our yard looks like right now.

Right now, the yard is like what it usually gets in mid-late March into April. Icy, watery, slippery, wet. Plain icky. Chance’s kennel is almost completely flooded with the water that fell, as well as the snow that is melting. Did I mention that our temps are hovering just about zero? They are, which isn’t good at all, for this time of year. The worst part is, the temps are supposed to start dropping today & all this rain/freezing rain is supposed to turn to snow. Oh joy of joys. How exciting.

Here are the pictures that I took.

This was last night, looking towards the driveway; right by the house.

This is standing on the step, looking towards the garage.

A path of snow was made in my flower bed, so that we could take Chance to her kennel.

I am standing on that snow path, looking towards Chance’s kennel. The picture is a bit dark, but you can still see all that water.

Still looking towards the kennel. Still lots of water.

I’m standing at the edge of the path, just before it goes onto the soggy, melting snow.

Tuesday’s pictures. The daytime. Here you can really see all that water.

This is taken from the step, by the house, looking towards the driveway. Still a lot of water & ice.

Looking towards the garage. My what shiny icy water/ice there is.

Here’s Marty, trying to figure out how to get some of that water out of Chance’s kennel. She doesn’t even want to go in there, there’s too much water.

Same shot almost, different angle….same water/ice problem.

Last, but not least another picture of Chance. I’m thinking she’s a bit confused at why there is so much of that icy water in her kennel & outside at this time of year.

That’s all there is for now. I’ll keep you posted on how our crazy February weather is turning out.

Computer Problems Solved and a new Camera

2009-02-05T10:12:00.004-06:00

Well, it’s been over a week & I’ve finally figure out & solved my computer problems. I had to redo my pc again, all because I did something to screw it up again. Now, it’s finally fixed & all is well.

I got a new camera this week. New camera=new pics & a short video of Chance. She isn’t the easiest subject to take a pic of because she keeps moving, just when you want to take it. lol So, without anymore delay…..

Here are the new pics taken with the new camera & a short video named, “Chance at play”. Enjoy.

These last 2 pics of her are the funniest. You can see why.

Those are all the newer pics of Chance. The 1st few don’t look very good. They’re a bit out of focus.

Here is my best subject that didn’t move for taking a picture. lol

And now, without anymore delay….the video

I hope you enjoyed this.

All in all, it’s been an interesting week. From a new camera to a 3 day migraine to finally getting my computer to work the way I want it too. Have a good rest of the week.

Edit in: The camera I got is a Kodak Z8612 IS w/8.1 mp & 12x optical zoom. Here's the link to the page of the camera.

Computer Problems

2009-01-23T14:24:00.001-06:00

Just like the title says, I’ve been having computer problems. I just installed an nvidia video card in my pc, in hopes of fixing some issues. Well….basically, those issues went away & some new ones came up. Now, it seems like it’s more difficult to view my pc from the tv in the living room. There’s a lot more to set up, than there was before. I use my pc to record from tv, satellite, etc. Then, once the recording is done, I flick a switch by the tv & you see my pc desktop. Then we watch whatever it was that I had recorded. :D

That was the 1st problem. The next problem is, I had to format my pc after I installed the new/different video card. That’s all fine & dandy. When I went to make a new restore disk, the pc froze. :o The program I was trying to use, re-screwed up the operating system. I had to format the pc again. That was 2x in 2 days. That took up most of my week, getting everything the way I want it.

All is good now. The only thing is, that I do not like this nvidia graphic card for what I do most. Watch movies/recorded tv from my pc to our tv in the living room. I may have to go back to an ATI card for this. I’ll keep you posted on that one.

Here’s a pic from Chance that was just taken the other day, during the pc fixing stage. Enjoy it & thanks for listening to my computer problems.

She was half asleep when I took this. lol The big baby.

It’s cold here & a pic

2009-01-14T18:02:00.001-06:00

Just like the title says, it’s cold here. We’re onto about the 2nd month of straight bitterly cold weather. We’ve had a few days of not so cold, but it’s mostly been cold. I’ve lost track already with how long it’s been this cold. I think today, we hit a new record for being cold. I think it was about –50C with the wind-chill or even a bit colder. When it’s this cold, what’s a few degrees. lol Winnipeg is the coldest city in Canada today. What an honour.

All this week, we’ve been eating good cold weather food: beef stew & today Vegetable barley soup. We still go out when it’s this cold. Today, we went for a coffee & fuelled up the car. Chance doesn’t even want to be out for long. She goes out, does what she needs to & comes back to the gate. Then, into the house we go before her feet get too cold. The poor puppy.

Other than that, there hasn’t been much going on here. I’ve got to replace the video card in my pc because mine has partially fried. :( That’s a totally different blog post. :D

Here’s the pic that I promised. Chance had a kodak moment the other day. She was relaxing so nicely, that I had to take a pic of her. Enjoy it & keep warm, if you’re enduring this cold too.

A few funny jokes to start the new year

2009-01-02T21:45:00.004-06:00

Here are a few funny jokes to start off the new year. Enjoy.

How Long is Yours?

I have one,
Your dad has one,
Your Mom uses your dads,
your aunt uses your uncles,
Indians have along one,
chinese have a short one,
Madonna doesnt have one,
Do you have one....how long is your one?
.
..
...

Sure you must be having a SURNAME!
What were you thinking.... ......???

Little Johny

Little Johnny can’t sleep and walks down the hall past the master bedroom
The door is ajar and the curious little Johnny looks inside.
Oh no he says, she took me to a psychiatrist for sucking my thumb

Lil Johnny..

A teacher in a mathematics lecture asks a 3rd std class," If there are 3 birds on a tree and u shoot one of them,how many birds would remain??
".Johnny,the nuaghtiest of the lot, shoots up his hand.
teacher: "ok johnny ,wats the answer?".
Johnny: "none,ma'am.
teacher: "how?"
Johnny:" after hearing the shot ,all the other birds will also fly away."
Teacher:"no johnny, the answer here is 2,but I like the way u r thinkin.
now johnny has a doubt.
Johhny: " teacher can i ask u a question?
Teacher: "sure"
johnny:" There are three ladies havin ice cream at the parlour. The first one is eatin it, the second is lickin it while the third one is sucking it. Can u tell which one of the ladies is married??"
Teacher is terribly embaressed, but she puts on a brave face and answers.
Teacher: "I....I......I guess the one which is suckin on the ice cream is married."
Johnny:" No ma'am, the one who has the wedding ring on her finger is married, BUT I LIKE THE WAY U R THINKIN." !!!!!

Little Johnny..
Little Johnny was sitting in class one day. On this particular day, the teacher wanted to ask her class which part of the body went to heaven first.
One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think your mind goes to heaven first because you have to have a mind in order to believe in God."
The teacher praises the little girl as a little boy raises his hand. He says, "I think your heart goes to heaven first because God is all about love." "Very good," said the teacher.
The teacher looked up and saw Little Johnny's hand up. "Oh no," she thought, "I'm not gonna like this "Little Johnny, which part of the body do you think goes to heaven first?"
Little Johnny thinks for a minute and says, "Your feet."
The teacher asked him why he thought your feet go to heaven first.
He replied, "Well, I was walking past my parents' bedroom last night and my mom had her feet up in the air and she said, 'Oh God, I'm coming!', but fortunately Dad was on top of her holding her down."

Hillbilly

Never Choke in a restaurant in the South
Two hillbillies walk into a bar. While having a shot of whisky, they talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. And, after a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'
The woman shakes her head no.
Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'
The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.
The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue. The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to the bar.
His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

Man and A Monkey Go Into a Bar

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink, and while he's drinking, the monkey jumps all around the place.
The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them.
Then he grabs some sliced limes and eats them. He then jumps onto the pool table and grabs one of the billiard balls.
To everyone's amazement, he sticks it in his mouth, and somehow swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, 'Did you see what your monkey just did?'
'No, what?' replied the man.
'He just ate the cue ball off my pool table... whole!'
'Yeah, that doesn't surprise me,' replied the guy, 'he eats everything in sight. Sorry! I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff.'
The guy finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey ate and leaves.
Two weeks later the guy is in the bar again, and has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar.
He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.
Then the monkey finds a peanut, and again sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.
The bartender is disgusted. 'Did you see what your monkey did now?'
'No, what?' replied the man.
'Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry and a peanut up his butt, pulled them out, and ate them!' said the bartender.
'Yeah, that doesn't surprise me,' replied the guy.
'Since he popped that cue ball, he measures everything first!'

Christmas Wishes & An interesting ride

2008-12-23T17:56:00.008-06:00

This may be my last blog of the year, but I'm not sure yet.
Let's 1st start with the interesting ride home from Winnipeg that we had on Monday afternoon.
We were on our way home from shopping, when we heard a Bang! then the car pulled funny. Marty steered it & into the ditch we went. We didn't roll & didn't get hurt, which was a good thing. We got out of the car to look around. What had happened was the lower ball joint blew. That was the bang. The smoke that we smelled was the dried dead grass under the car, warming up to the hot muffler. Marty got out the shovel & started to remove the snow from around the car. He got it removed, but we still couldn't go anywhere. You can't go far when your wheel doesn't turn right & there's snow in the bottom of the ditch. He made a call & while we were waiting for somebody to pick us up, some good samaratin with a 4x4 & a towing truck's chain, pulled us out of the ditch. Yayyyy!!!!! Our ride came & we took our stuff that we went shopping for out of the car & went home. Marty went back, with help, with his truck & dolly & got the car home. It's now sitting on the dolly, in the back yard. It won't be getting fixed until after the holidays.
Later in the evening, Marty came up with a little song of our adventure. It's in the tune of "Jingle Bells"

Sliding in the ditch (sung to “Jingle Bells”)

Sliding into the ditch
It was a very bumpy ride
After blowing a ball joint
And almost ending on our side
I almost went insane
A guy showed up with a chain
He pulled us out, he had no doubt
And we’re on the road again....sort of
Chorus:
Bang, scrape, skid
Bang, scrape, skid
In the ditch we go
Oh I’m glad this ditch is full
Of fluffy, fluffy snow...I wish

Marty & I (Chance too) would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. All the best to everybody in 2009.

A few funny Christmas jokes & stuff

2008-12-18T10:51:00.001-06:00

I got these in an email today. I found them funny, so I figured I'd share. Enjoy. :)

A Christmas Story for people having a bad day……………

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the rum. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Rusty Chevrolet

'Jingle Bells'

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
IN MY RUSTY CHEVROLET
DOWN THE ROAD I GO
SLIDING ALL THE WAY
I NEED NEW PISTON RINGS
I NEED SOME NEW SNOW TIRES
MY CAR IS HELD TOGETHER
BY A PIECE OF CHICKEN WIRE

CHORUS:
RUST AND SMOKE THE HEATER'S BROKE
THE DOOR JUST BLEW AWAY
I LIGHT A MATCH TO SEE THE DASH
AND THEN I START TO PRAY
THE FRAME IS BENT THE MUFFLER WENT
THE RADIO IT'S OK
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO DRIVE
THIS RUSTY CHEVROLET

I WENT TO THE IGA
TO GET SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER
I JUST PASSED UP MY LEFT FRONT TIRE
AND ITS GETTING HARD TO STEER
SKIDDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY
RIGHT PAST THE NEGAUNEE COPS
I HAD TO DRAG MY SWAMPERS
TO GET THE CAR TO STOP

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BOUNCING THROUGH THE SNOWDRIFTS
IN A BIG BLUE CLOUD OF SMOKE
PEOPLE LAUGH AS I DRIVE BY
I WONDER WHAT'S THE JOKE
I GOT TO GET TO SHOPKO
TO PICK UP THE LAYAWAY
CAUSE SANTA CLAUS IS COMING SOON
IN HIS BIG OLD RUSTY SLEIGH

(REPEAT CHORUS)

And here is Chance's Christmas pic that I did.

Recipe

2008-12-04T14:28:00.001-06:00

I didn't feel much like blogging this week, due to the fact that I've been battling a migraine since Tuesday Dec.2/08. I think it's finally starting to go away. So, today's blog will be a recipe.

Here's the banana bread recipe that I use.

1/2 c margarine
1 c sugar
2 eggs
3 bananas
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c flour, approx
1 tsp baking soda

Cream margarine and sugar, then add eggs and mashed bananas. Add flour, soda and salt. Bake in loaf pan in 350 F oven for 45-50 minutes.

I even use this recipe for muffins. Just bake them for about 25 min.

Enjoy it. :)

New Pic of Chance & Taz's final pics

2008-11-24T11:24:00.001-06:00

I took a few new pics of Chance last week. They were really cute & it definitely was a Kodak moment. I also was going through my picture folder the other day & I noticed that I had never posted Taz's very last 2 pics that were ever taken of him. I hope that you enjoy them. :)

Here is Chance lying on her couch with her stuffed ball in her mouth. She's a very silly girl.

These are the very last 2 pics that were ever taken of Taz. My sister in law took them in the beginning of June.

I hope you enjoy looking at these, as much as I enjoy sharing them with you. :)

Trial

2008-11-17T12:41:00.000-06:00

This is a trial of a different place for my blog. You can comment here or on tv.com page. Please let me know if you can post comments on here or if you need to set up an account here. I hope that you don't need to go through all that hassle. Thanks. :)
