Winner is – Auntie Gayle (yeah … I’ll bring your prize over).
Yikes this title dates me! ‘Back to the Future’ came out in the early 80′s and I’m still saying, “HELLO McFly!” I’m definitely going to have to stop that. BUT, hey I finally get to an internet cafe and I leave all my images (in camera) with Mr. MK who is on a long 10 km hike with Sam and Lizzy. Georgia’s feet are infected and sore, sore, sore. That leaves me @ home with the invalid. We couldn’t get to a dr today without ferry’s and a long drive, so I took pictures of her feet to a vet. HA … no one can acuse me of being over protective. Needless to say, problem solved.
We’re having a great time, beach combing, crabbing, hiking, eating, it’s a faboulous place. I had the best series of pictures to share. Next time, I guess.
Tomorrow we’re taking a zodiak boat excursion to some hot springs. They’re in the Gwaii Hanaas National Park (National Geographic named it the best park on earth!!). We were actually suposed to go yesterday, but a huge storm (20 foot waves), kept us on dry land. I am really hoping we see whales. We’ve delayed heading home an extra day to take this tour.
Will check in again soon.

I feel just like Georgia looks in this photo: (in her Zooni hat)
NO, NO, NO — not drunk and disoriented!
Just dazed and confused …
It was one of those nights, that turned into one of those days.

Sorry, for the 2nd weekend in a row, my hosting co. has tried to migrate to a new server (with no luck) and my site has been down most of that time. This weekend, I was down and I also lost the original ‘NEW Contest Starts Today – Two Free Slings from Pippalily!‘ post, which I have recreated below. Continue Reading

Just because…
What follows is one of my top ten most embarrassing moments!
Early 1990′s – Applebee’s Restaurant
I was on a date with a Dork. Just so you know it wasn’t the first date with ‘the Dork’ and it wasn’t the last. That last part probably doesn’t matter, but I’m telling you anyway.
(psst… don’t think I am mean calling him ‘the Dork’, he turned out to be much worse, but it a long, long story – just take my word for it, OK?)
‘The Dork’ and I were seated in a booth, across from each other. I am sure I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have a serious (but not debilitating) diet cola addiction, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise, that I had a VERY large and icy Diet Coke in front of me. It’s also important that you know that the drink was really tall and the straw very long (remember those two details, ok?).
Just a sec… I’m going to run and grab a drink.

I am craving lobster!
** 10 minutes of silence ** fingers hovering over keyboard ** nothing!**
Is the title starting to make sense yet? My mind is blank … well, except for the LOBSTER.
I am thinking about taking up extreme-ironing –> I’ll get Mr. MK to try it out first, you know, so I don’t get hurt! It’s sort of a ‘kill two birds with one stone’ kind of sport –> get fit and get ready all in one go!
Which reminds me, I’ve been exhausted all week. I STILL haven’t recovered from my night out!
MommyKnows and Mr. MommyKnows (along with the 3 youngest WeKnowNothing hooligans) are thinking of taking MommyKnows on the Road. Just a short family trip, any suggestions? Where would you like to see us go?
Work is making me crazy! Anyone out there want a career in etail?

Am I raising ‘Little Suzy Home-Wrecker’?
Like mother, like daughter!
Hey! That’s not true, my kitchen is nearly always clean! I’d never pile my dishes on the counter! The mess in this play kitchen is starting to get on my nerves. I get my kitchen looking spiffy, I turn around and have to look at this.
Georgia for heaven sakes clean up your kitchen! Really, it’s so much easier if you do them right after dinner the tea party! You’ll never get those ‘stuck on’ smarties off the pan if you leave them sitting over night.
Sam, when I ask you to bring in firewood –> TAKE. IT. ALL. THE. WAY. TO. THE. FIREPLACE! It SO does not belong in the middle of the kitchen.
Lizzy, you’re still on my good side –> STAY. THERE!

I was cooking dinner (whoohoo) and Georgia was eating a DQ Dilly Bar.
“Muma, me want more ice freme.”
“Yes Georgia, after you eat supper you can have more ice cream.”
(note: I often say, “YES” before I mean NO to lighten the blow … this time it just didn’t work (not fair!).
I want ice freme ….

Did I really say I was going to blog everyday for 365 days? Really? Did you believe me?
*SIGH* I am all out of ideas. It could be that I still haven’t recovered from my sleepless weekend.
Believe it or not, I am on my way back to the warehouse (it’s 6:45 pm). I was there ALL day and I will be there until late tonight. Our BIG sale is going well, but we use an outdated inventory system (I COUNT it) … so to make sure we don’t over sell, I have to pull and prepack orders as they come in. ACK!
I was going to show you some more pictures …
Oops! Sorry! Even I am getting sick of looking @ pictures of this kid in a tutu. Oh well, one more won’t kill ya!
Give me some blogging ideas please … whadaya wanna know?

Last night I stayed out ALL night! *GASP* don’t worry; it’s not as sordid as it sounds.
It was a planned birthday night out for one of my closest friends. Her husband booked us a luxury suite at River Cree Resort and Casino. Besides the odd cruise ship casino, I have never been to one. I am not much of gambler … I lost $60 in 10 minutes and was done.
I rarely put on makeup…
I figured I may as well get a picture.
