SOOiPC Saturday

My friend Lee, who I have mentioned before, does this cool Blog post on

Saturdays called SOOC Saturdays.

Straight out of Camera Saturday -and she posts one of her wonderful pictures.

Since I want to be creative like Lee when I grow up,

I am starting today SOOiPC Saturdays:

Straight out of iPhone Camera Saturdays.

Last Sunday, H and I went and cheered on our brave friend Mo in her first 10km race!

It was pouring rain and it was cold.

Mo ran! We cheered! I was inspired!

Thanks Mo for your inspiration of setting a goal and sticking to it!

GO MO!!

Rebuttal and a Moral Dilemma

Well, it's seems I have a rebuttal.
Not a comment, a rebuttal -an out and out dispute!
My dear MAC friend commented on my post yesterday:

..."cleverly turned on the microphone app. on my iPhone" ...?
Really J – you are no 007.
Perhaps it was the wine – three glasses of it – that distorted your perspective and diminished your slight of hand. Yup, that must be it.

First of all, lets clear a few things up.
2 glasses not 3.
I can't drive on 3...just stating a fact for all you 'coppers' out there!

Secondly, I wasn't being stealthy.
I admit it.
I took out the phone, turned on the microphone and said something to the effect of:
"Don't talk about me behind my back. I'm taping you!!"
Then I put it in full view on the table and dashed to the washroom.

Never in my sweetness and innocence did I imagine that they would tamper with my Facebook!
Hold on........!
Sweetness; innocence; thinking that my friends were trustworthy.....
She's right, it must have been the TWO glasses of wine.
My judgement was distorted.

However!
At the end of the evening I was very stealth-like (just like 007) when I discovered a huge error on the bill, slipped it across the table (very indiscreetly) and exclaimed in a stealthy whisper,
"She didn't charge us for everything!"

So this is where the moral dilemma comes in....
What do you do?
Do you pay the under-charged bill and run? Do you tell the waitress?

How about at a cashier?
If they give you too much change do you run with it? Or tell them?

At a bank machine....if you arrive at a machine only to find money sitting in the slot do you take it? Do you return it to the bank?

Someone drops money as they walk by you, do you pick it up and pocket it?
Do you return it to them.

Money! The root of all evil!

Bet you want to know what we did, don't you??

Lesson Learned

Tonight I had a GNO...
(Girl's Night Out).
I went out with the Mac Girls...
(my gang from McMaster).
We were having a blast.... as always.

I was desperate to use the washroom but I didn't want to miss out on the conversation.
Plus, as with all best friends, I didn't trust that they wouldn't talk about me behind my back!
What???...it's what great friends do!!
So, I cleverly turned on the Microphone App. on my iPhone, left it on the table and went off to pee.
Big mistake!
They changed my Facebook status.....
What can I say, it's what great friends do!!
Biotches!!

We're 45 turning 19 again!
I hope we never grow up!
Life is more fun when you have a gang to laugh with....
Just wish I still had the bladder control of a 19 year old.

I'm a Cheater!

Apparently I cheated on Earth Hour.
My son is convinced!

I sat alone in the dark with a candle glowing.
I sat alone in the dark drinking my beer.
I sat alone in the dark playing games on my iPhone.

Cheater!!
He called me a Cheater!!
He called his own loving mother a Cheater!!
Apparently, I was indirectly using electricity because the iPhone uses electricity to be charged.
Who wrote the rules??
That doesn't seem fair to me!

Rotten kid!
He made me feel like an Earth Hour Cheater!
Next year I want to see the Earth Hour rule book!
Next year, my family is going to stay home with me and entertain me for an hour in the dark!

Delicious??

I'd say "No thanks" to a second helping!

This 3rd Betty Blogger assignment had me running for the door!
First off, I found Delicious a PAIN to join.
I think I tried ten or more usernames before it would accept one and then I had the same problem with the password!
Retyping their encoded password?
I nearly went cross-eyed trying to figure that one out!

Finally, I managed to log in and bookmark a few sites:

Delicious is not something I would use very often.
There is way too much information to sift through and I don't have the time to sift!
It's well organized and easy to navigate, it's just too much...information overload!
Delicious might be a good recipe for some.... sadly, it left a nasty aftertaste in my mouth!
