There was a new report that came out today which named the 10 worst intersections for accidents in the tri-city area. 4 of them were on the same street at 4 different cross-sections. You have to wonder - if most accidents happen within one block from your home, then how bad do the people living in that area drive? Lets see, the main street was Ottawa Street in Kitchener and the cross streets were Homer Watson Blvd., Strasburg Rd., Alpine - 7/8 ramp, and Westmount Road. I admit, its not the best area to drive in, but how strange is it that 4 out of 10 spots are in that small area??? Weird.

I know from experience that most accidents happen close to home. I have been in 2 accidents within blocks from my house - rear-ended by a drunk at the stop lights at Eagle Street (at noon, and she was already drunk!), and rear-ended by a moron on a cell phone who didn't see my turn signal on and decided to ram into the back of me. I can see from my living room window where that accident happened. And there's lots of accidents at that corner all the time... what does that say about the people living around here!

Anyways, what else has been going on that I can share with you.....

We went to a wonderful wedding on the weekend. Our friends Steve & Donna were married on Saturday, and it was an incredible day! Donna looked beautiful and the weather co-operated (a little too hot & humid, but nice & sunny!). We made some new friends this weekend at the wedding, and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better. They have the cutest little 4 year old boy, AJ, who plays so well with Joey. I think its going to be a great summer :)

Here's some pictures that I took on Saturday... I think I did a pretty good job with the pictures! And yes, that guy in the kilt in the wedding party shot really is Jason! And check out the ride for the day!!!!!!







We didn't realize until the next day, when we were going through all the pictures, that we didn't get any nice pictures of the two of us together. The last picture was a shot that Jason took of us at the reception at the Bruce Restaurant. The one time that we both get dressed up and look nice and we forget to get a picture... go figure :)

Work is busy, busy, busy. I think its going to be the busiest year yet for me. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time I'm worried that its going to be too much. With 10 offices and over 400 agents, payroll is bound to be a job for more than one person. I think that this might be the year that it happens.

Jason is still laid off, but we're hoping that he can somehow get into something with his photography. He has a product job lined up for September, and he's really excited about it. He's great with a camera and I know that he'll do well with it, but its slow in coming in. One day... one day. Its just hard to be patient.

Chris is putting together more words now. Last night I was bitten on the ankle by a mosquito (I hate those things) and he said "skito bite my mom", then "skito bad". It was cute. He kept talking about it this morning and trying to kiss it better :) He's also doing awesome with the potty. I took his diaper off when I got home tonight and he went to the potty every time that he had to pee - so proud of him! Won't be long till he's fully potty trained.... I hope!

Joey is still quite a little character. I think he's been around Steve too much. The boys were in the bath one night last week and I gave them the roll-on soap to play with. Joey asked me to turn around while he painted it on himself and Chris.... then he told me to turn around. When I turned to them, Joey started saying "Oh, I've been shot"! and Chris was pointing at his arm and saying "ow, booboo, booboo"! So I decided to play along and said "oh no, what happened to my boys?!". I guess this isn't exactly what Joey wanted to hear, because he stood up straight and looked right at me, waved his little arms in front of him and said "cut, cut"!!! A minute later he had put on more soap, I knew what to say, and he said "roll it"! A director in the making, I tell ya!

What else, what else??? I can't think straight right now. It's been a long day. Here it is, 11:40pm, and I'm still sitting at the computer. I brought work home with me tonight and finished it not too long ago, then decided to write for a bit. I'm tired, but haven't been sleeping well lately. I'm hoping that by staying up later tonight that I'll fall asleep and stay asleep once I go to bed. Yeah, well, I can always hope, right?! Good night!
