A Tribute To The Bird Who Usually Didn't Have A Name

Imagine a bird who loved life so much, he woke up every morning singing a song.
That same bird could easily transform any room after a few minutes of singing his pretty sing-songs.
Imagine a bird who would greet you every time you walked into the room with a cheerful squawk.
That same bird loved the theme music for the 'Simpsons' and would chirp extra loud when it came on the TV.
Imagine a bird that loved his German Shepherd protector, no matter how many times the German Shepherd rattled his cage with his big tail.
That same bird even sang to the cat when the cat was plotting to get around the German Shepherd to get at him.
Imagine a bird that was so happy, he even tolerated the mean and nasty bird who lived in the same room as him, even when the other bird was trying to attack him through his cage.
That same bird was generous with his food and toys, always inviting the outside birds to try and come inside and share them.
Imagine a bird who loved his people so much, he even put up with a few occasional spit-balls.
That same bird even tolerated the drastic mood swings of his girlfriend whenever she would lay an egg.

Goodbye little budgie...you and your pretty sing-songs will be greatly missed :(

Vote. You Must Vote.

This is a friendly reminder that the My Rona Home series is almost over and James and Nic still need your votes...every day! http://www.myronahome.ca/ and vote yellow!

Here are some of things that may* happen to you if you don't vote for the yellow team:

-a pack of snarling hungry wolves will follow you until you die
-your pee will turn dark brown and start to smell like rotting pepperoni
-your first born child will forever ask you 'why?' whenever you tell them to do something
-instead of the ringing of the telephone, you will hear nails on a chalkboard everytime someone phones you
-you will always be stuck behind a slow driver in traffic
-your furnace won't work in the winter time
-you will be forced to eat raw brussel sprouts, fish eyeballs, and goat test1cles every day for breakfast
-I will never blog again

*situations subject to reader's lifestyle, preferences, mood swings and credit history. Blog owner shall not be held accountable if any of the following actually happen...which would be totally freaky, right?!? For entertainment purposes only.

"Let He Who Is Without Sin..." - Well, Apparently That Isn't Josh Or I...And It Especially Hasn't Been Us For The Past 4 Years

So, here's the story, since apparently some* of you are dying to get a piece of Josh-and-Brandi-World:

Josh and I and maybe a couple friends...or maybe just one friend - but it's cool cuz he thinks that one day he will choke out a cougar - were gonna head across the border to do some shoppin, eating, and partyin during the holidays. And since Josh and I are not world travellers, neither of us have a valid passport. So, last week, I started to fill in the application and one of the required fields was the number off my marriage certificate. So, I headed home and pulled out the two 'certificates' I had, and neither of them had a number. So the big joke over the weekend was that Josh and I aren't really married and our wedding day was just an expensive party. So until I head down to a registry office and apply for the 'official certificate,' Josh is calling me his girlfriend. And I am still calling him my suga daddy :)

*-you know who you are!

Life's Hard Enough As It Is, You Don't Need To Cry Anymore---Especially After Punching A Lady Of The Evening Several Times

A Quick Update Which Is Faster Than A Not-So-Speeding Bullet

Just a quick note to say my computer at home is very sick and not expected to survive.

Thanks for asking, but NO it is NOT H1N1 (which btw, I am sick of hearing of!)

Blogging will be either non-existent or very brief until further notice.

Later homies :)

This Post Is Being Brought To You On Behalf Of My Super Nice Friend, Erin, Who Apparently Wants Me To Live In A House With Germ-Infested Rodents

Haha, just joking buddy! But I did get your hint from your last comment...thanks for the gentle nudge :)

Since my brain has only been functioning at 90% lately, I will stick to a brief update of the happenings in and around Mooney Manor:

• Thanks to Joshypoo and his handy dandy papa, I have a new fence. I like the new fence. It's a good fence. Sturdy. Lean. And mean. (and thanks for your help Jack, you're awesome)
• If yellow is not your favorite color for next few weeks, don't bother pretending that we were ever friends. Haha, just joking, but seriously, go to www.myronahome.ca and vote for the yellow team. Every day. Josh's oldest brother James and his lovely wife Nicola have a chance to win a house they designed, mortgage free. You can actually stop reading this and go and vote. Please. Every vote really does count. And if you wanna watch the show, in Calgary, it's on Sunday nights, on CityTV, 8pm.
• Karen got fixed last week. The vet said he was strong and sturdy. I said it was because he plays ultimate fighting with a German Shepherd every night.
• Which reminds me...what would you rather fight in a locked cage: a bear or a cougar?
• Which reminds me again...do you think it's possible for a man to choke out a cougar?
• And in all seriousness, the Homeless Christmas Wish List is fast approaching. Please consider volunteering or reading the stories of Calgary's homeless and buying or donating a gift to one of them. For some of the really unfortunate, the gift they receive on Christmas morning could very likely be the only kind gesture they have felt in months. Imagine a grown man in his 50's, seemingly hardened by living on the streets, breaking down and crying on Christmas morning because someone read his story and took the time to buy him a winter jacket. That's a true story.

Woody and I killed a mouse yesterday. Well, more like Woody chased the thing all over the garage and I finally dealt the fatal blow that ended his miserable life. I'm not gonna lie...we celebrated, and we celebrated big time.
