Mr. Vice President

Being a Canadian it's funny but we sometimes spend more time following American politics than Canadian. I think it is because America is the World Leader and has a lot of influence on the world and Canada. It was recently rumerored that Al Gore may be a running mate for the upcoming election this Fall. I'm not sure if he would want to go back and do this again but think of where he is in terms of environmental issues and he would be a huge asset to the government and would for sure work to push many issues along much faster than any other politican might. It's a real shame in my opinion that Al Gore didn't win the presidential election the first time around, what a different World we would all live in without having gone through the 8 years with George? We would be so much further ahead on environmental issues and green energy causes. It would be a great ticket, let's go Obama/Al

How do you Clean?

Our household is like a category 5 tornado everyday with 4 school age kids running around, it would almost look like a one ripped through by the end of the day anyway. Our home is a combination of hardwood and carpet and we are actually getting ready to put carpet down in our new master bedroom. In our house I'm the vacuum and floor cleaning guy, my wife doesn't like doing that cleaning and I don't mind it gives me a chance to drown out the noise of the kids, just kidding. One fun thing about kids is at the age ours are they always want to help you do stuff so sometimes we make a game out of cleaning. I can hide a treat or two around the house and get dusting done. It was funny the other day, I was finishing up drywalling our new room and had a pile of dry wall dust on the floor. The younger boys thought it would be fun to drive their trucks through it. I wasn't too worried about that it kept them entertained so I continued on with my project. Well after a while they decided to roll through the dust to help clean up. When I came back in the room they were covered head to toe in drywall dust. We pulled out the dirt devil and sucked up the floor and than took the hose attachment to the boys. You wonder why my poor dirt devil scorpion is just about ready to head off to vacuum heaven, it has been through the war here trying to keep up with the little ones, so we are beginning to shop around for a new Dirt Devil There is a new line of vacuums called the AccuCharge, these look really cool because they are cordless yet still have lots of power. In fact they are the only cordless vacuum to ever recieve Energy Star certification. If your interested in learning more about this new line check out the video below.

Prices up or down

With the tough economic times we are in with gas prices soaring and making everything more expensive it is taxing our disposible income. What do you find when you are shopping are prices more or less expensive in your opinion. I work in retail and I shop the competition regularily you might find things I've discovered surprising. Grocery items available at grocery stores have risin approx 10-15% in the last year where as items of a Hard good nature, cleaning supply, hardware etc have not gone up. I discovered some surprise, everyone believes Walmart to have the lowest prices and for sure on some items they do, those of a highly visible nature like tide or water, items you buy everyday would be less but it's the unordinary items you might not shop around for that are surprising. Example 30' of building electrical wire exact same package Walmart 29.99 - Zellers 9.99 not a sale, regular price on the shelf everyday. Be careful when shopping, give me your opinion or examples, I'd love to hear your opinion.

More renovation Projects

I spend yesterday working on renovation projects around the house, we got the parts to hook up our outdoor plug and worked on molding around the doors. It was a pretty productive day, tommorrow a plumber is supposed to be coming to remove an old water heater in our bedroom so we can finish up the walls and floor hopefully next week. I am working all weekend so I won't be able to get much done for the next couple of days.

School coming to an end....

In just a few weeks my children will be finished school and starting their summer vacation. Our oldest son will be going into Junior High in September and I am left with thinking of how fast the years have gone by. Then I panic wondering where am I going to find money to put my children through College. I know we will do what needs to be done to put them through and further their education and with the many College Scholarships out there hopefully they will help. Is your son or daughter ready for college? Find money for College, check out Scholarships.com for free College Scholarship Search and Financial Aid Resource.

Summer is here

It was a long winter and spring was nothing much to talk about. I can honestly say that yesterday and today have both been the most beautiful days yet. I spent the morning getting some renovations done and then it was off to work. There is nothing worse then heading off to work at noon on a beautiful sunny day and lots of things to keep me busy if I was home but I have to work, that 's life. Tomorrow is looking like rain but hopefully on Thursday my day off the sun and warm weather will return.

You can purchase tickets for this event in advance by visiting the website and entering your zip code to find the theatre nearest you.

The characters of Ichigo and Rukia set out to learn the secrets of the blanks and Senna and learn of evil plots as they attept to save the world from annihilation.
I think it would be cool to be in one of these stories, I would have to be KeepKid, powerful keeper of lots of Children.

Ooops bad day at the office

The Nascar event at Dover was completed yesterday and again the dominant driver this season Kyle Busch was able to drive to victory lane. There was a huge jumble of the standings when on lap 16 there was a major wreck between Sadler and Stewart that took out a number of the top contenders this year. Harvick being one of them, he continued after repairs but could only get a 38th place finish. He is now in 10th place in the cup series standings a rough weekend for him. Let's hope for a rebound this weekend.
