That Just Happened!

Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere!   On Wednesday I posted about the RONA MS Bike Tour  that MPW is participating in this weekend.  I also threw out this challenge:

For every new follower between now and Friday I will donate $1*!   Yes, that’s right…you can donate someone else’s money, so there is no reason not to help out.  If you subscribed via email leave me a comment saying so (honesty policy reigns).

I have facebooked it, commented on many of blogs (in hopes that they return the favour and want to get involved, I didn’t actually say I was doing this), got people to twitter it and I have had a less than stellar response.  Now, I know I am not strictly a book blog, but I do post a lot of reviews and I am participating in quite a few challenges, including my own personal one.  I am attempting to read all the Governor General Literary Award winners for fiction since the prize began in 1936.  This award is the most prestigious book award in Canada (I have my own opinions about the Giller). 

There are so many charities out there that are looking for support and I really believe that the MS Society can use yours.  Just by becoming a follower, you can help a cause that affects this little one here…

…whose grandmother has trouble even holding her because her Multiple Scelrosis has caused havoc on her body.  The morning of the baby shower for this Little One, she was rushed to the hospital and I don’t even want to think about how many more important events she could miss because of this. 

After today I will go back to posting fun and book-appropriate materials, but since the bike ride is tomorrow, I want to make my contribution today.  And of course, if you follow me, I will follow you! 

Posts to look forward to: A Surprise 60th birthday, Review: The Guinea Pig Diaries, My Weekend Alone, and Angus Update

Thanks for stopping by!

Yeah, That Just Happened!

On the weekend we did a lot of travelling and we finally managed to go and get a safety harness for Angus when he is in the car.  For a really long time we have relegated him to the back seat, but unless he is tired he insists on walking around back there.  Last weekend he was in the midst of trying to climb up to the front between the seats and MPW had to stop quickly, so Angus got an elbow to the face.  Sunday was the first day we had him in the harness.  At first it started out fine…

He was sitting so nicely and quietly in the back.  I was just sighing contentedly and thinking to myself, “this is going better than I thought,”  when…

So, almost.  He almost made it a pleasant car trip somewhere.  We ended up putting him in the middle for the way home.  I think he was too tired to care.

Hopefully now he is used to it and realizes he can lie down.  Hopefully that will make future car rides more pleasant.  Hopefully.  But I doubt it.

Yeah, That Just Happened!

Gang's All Here! (Except MPW who was there, but didn't get into a picture)

Interesting Pic.

Boom! BoomBoom!

It is also important to note that today my little Angus-poo is 2 years old!  He had an eventful day playing at the off-leash park with MPW and Mommy got to stay home and do some crafting and some reading.  Enjoyable for all!  

You Haz Noms?!

 I just hope he doesn’t hit the terrible twos! 

Yeah, That Just Happened!
