SKIS for SALE

Here are the skis I have for sale. We bought them for the kids a few years ago, but they never used them. So now for the inevitable - sell them.

JUST A LITTLE HUMOUR

Naomi sent this to me and it made me laugh, so I thought I would pass it along. Even though it says "America", it definitely applies to all of North America. Enjoy!

Spread the Stupidity
Only in America ......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America ......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in America ......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. Only in America ......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America ......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America ......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
Only in America ... ...do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

EVER WONDER ....Why the sun lightens our hair,but darkens our skin ?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe,why do they call the airport the terminal?

WORKIN' GIRL

We just got news today that Naomi has landed herself a job at:

They just opened a new one in Whitehorse. I guess the old one was just too small. It's a really nice looking store. We were walking past it the last time I was in town and she decided then to put in her resume. So, we hurried back to the dorms and grabbed her resume. The manager really likes her and was impressed with her tenacity. She will be in the stocking department to begin with. She will be working just a few hours a week. She is so excited. Although I'm not sure if the excitement is because of the job or the thought of earning a paycheck.

I NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE MYSELF! (lol)

I feel like a proud parent about this: my plant. I have one plant in my house. I was given a cutting back in June and I kept it full of water (except while we were on holidays) and finally planted it in October. I definitely did not inherit my parents' green thumb (sorry Mom and Dad). Most plants I have wither away and die quite quickly. I can't even tell you what kind of plant this is - help anyone? When we plan what to do with our yard it definitely doesn't include plants. But look at this, my plant is flowering in November! I point it out to Brian almost every day and he is just as amazed as I am.

BEAUTY

This morning I was busy getting ready for work. When I walked in the kitchen and looked outside this sunrise was blazing across the sky. I quickly grabbed the camera and snapped some pictures. By the time we left for work 10 minutes later, the sky had completely changed and wasn't nearly as spectacular. One of the best things about living so far up north is the amazing sunrises we get to see.
