The "Sadie" Saga Continues...

This past Tuesday while working with my client "Sadie" bringing groceries into her apartment, we happened upon a bee... Now, not just any bee, it was actually a hornet, but that's beside the point! Sadie and I were unpacking groceries in her kitchen and standing close together when we both looked down at the same time and jumped backwards. Our friendly 'bee' had perched itself precariously on the edge of my shoulder. Sadie ran screaming out of the room and flapping her arms. A sight to see for this rather robust lady of 4'9! I told her to quickly grab a fly swatter so I could put our friend down, and Sadie out of her misery. Sadie returned after I'd murdered the 'bee' with a giant size fly swatter that she'd bought at the dollar store. The thing was the size of a paddle! She came into the kitchen swinging it like a pro-golfer with alot of rage!
By this time the 'bee' was successful terminated and as I calmly scooped it up in a dustpan, "Sadie" began backing away, a look of raw terror on her face. "Don't show me that thing! Don't come closer! Cyndi, I'm very afraid of bees!" It didn't seem to make a difference to her that it was a hornet! She became hysterical as I approached her, dustpan in hand to dispose of the 'bee' in the garbage can. At this point Sadie was jumping up in down, frantically waving her arms, tears streaming down her face, she yelled, "CYNDI, NO! I'M A BEE-A-PHOBE, I'M A BEE-A-PHOBE!!!

A new term that I wasn't aware of! Note to self: watch out for Sadie's bee phobia...

America's Got Spare Time?

I don't know if anybody has been watching the newest craze of a show "America's Got Talent," but we've caught it a few times. Bizarre, disturbing, and slightly amusing could describe many of the acts on it!

The best comment about the show came today from a certain disabled woman I work with... we'll call her "Sadie" for fun:) While cleaning with her in her apartment and cooking suppers for the week, she calmly confided in me that she absolutely adores this show. I didn't even look up as I absentmindedly placed a dish in her dishrack, "oh, why?" I responded. "Because Cyndi, David Hasselhoff is sooo good looking!" I rolled my eyes and smiled, "Oh Sadie, whatever!" She immediately got impatient, "what's the matter with you anyway Cyndi, didn't you ever watch Baywatch??!" She thought for a minute and then laughed, "yeah, right. More like "BabeWatch!" I asked her if she meant more for herself or because of all the bikini-clad lifeguards in it. Her only response was a snort... Here's to you Dave,

Tony's Triumphant 30th Birthday

During an innocent game of Bible Pictionary with some friends, Tony talked himself right into some hot water! I believe he was trying to describe the breast-plate of righteousness, but the amount of chest gestures just seemed wrong! Happy Birthday to the most animated pictionary player I know!

Hummin Hummers

Happy Birthday Hubby!!

This thursday, July 13, 2006 is a momentous occasion... my husband will make his debut as a 30 year old man!! In celebration of this significant milestone in both our lives we will be celebrating National Tony week all this week. The kick off took place this past weekend at the family cottage (very near Blue Mountain Resort Collingwood, Ontario) where Tony was given his very special, top secret birthday present from ME! Here's a sneak peek....

On our honeymoon decades ago! We went monster trucking, this was in memory of that occasion! There's nothing more satisfying to a chiropractor than two people with bad backs off-roading down the side of the Niagara Escarpment, and soaring or rather plummenting off of 15 foot drops. I have a new appreciation for Hummers! However, I think we'll both pass on joining the Canadian Armed Forces!

Sylvan Slides

A few slides of a vaca that feels like it happened decades ago!

John and Tony and good ole Xbox!

3 Musketeers, one bun in the oven, and some sweet cookies!

Oh Daggers!

Now... I'm not one for potty humour, but this one just strikes me funny... I'm not sure if T-bone got enough lunch this day, because I felt much like a snack!

A little better, drowsy in the dinosaur rainforest, but still better!

Blurry from the tears, and much like the disciples...The Last Supper (sniff, sniff)

"Tony, er I mean Gid! For the love of Pete, put away that camera!!"

Giggling G

I couldn't resist posting this lil number: G having some laughs with Uncle T! We are only sorry that we couldn't be there for the actual celebration of your second year of life G! It was so cool getting to know a tiny person with so many of my dear friends' features, including those baby browns, but a personality that's all his own!Miss you guys, and are still in denial that the vaca is over :(Love T & C
