Why Do I Love you?

2009-06-15T14:02:00.000+01:00

Sometimes at night, when I look to the sky,I start thinking of you and then ask myself, why?Why do I love you? I think and smile,because I know the list could run on for miles.
The whisper of your voice, the warmth of your touch,so many little things that make me love you so much.
The way you support me, and help with my emotions,the way that you care and show such devotion.
The way that your kiss, fills me with desire,and how you hold me with the warmth of a blazing fire.
The way your eyes shine when you look at me,lost with you forever is where I want to be.
The way that I feel when you're by my side,a sense of completion and overflowing pride.
The dreams that I dream, that all involve you,the possibilities I see and the things we can do.
How you finish the puzzle that lies inside my heart,how that deep in my soul, you are the most important part.
I could go on for days, telling of what I feel,but all you really must know is my love for you is real.

Take That

2009-06-15T11:14:00.002+01:00

I have to say first off that the show was great and myself and the girls really enjoyed ourselves. Jason Orange is just so hot i cant describe in words LOL. Anyway we got to the hotel in Dub and sorted ourselves out then straight out on the town. We went for a beautiful early dinner to Little Cesars which was really nice and had a few drinks there. Cocktails came next MMMMMMMM they were lovely in some pub that i cant remember the name of but they were nice. Then off the Crokers to see the boys. We got lucky and ended up in the corporate area for drinks and watched The Script play there. They were excellent actually however i didn't know who this Gary Go was on before them but anyways Take That arrived on stage and my god did the place go mental. There was some great effects and the elephant that was moving by the people was class. We danced and sang and had a hoolie i have to say even though even today my feet are still killing me but it was all worth it. Definately would go and see them again now. We wont go into the whole after the concert as it was about 5 when we went to bed and you can just imagine the crowds around and the howl we had. well if anyone else was at TT i hope you enjoyed thoroughly. xxxx Jason Orange is soooooooo hot.... did i say that before ha ha ha?

Take That baby

2009-06-11T12:23:00.002+01:00

Well today is Thursday and its only two days to go until I'm off in Betsy bus to see Take That in Crokers. I cant wait to be honest. It seems like there is all the old take that fans going to be there so we wont look too out of place. Although its going to be some crack i tell you and the bars aint going to know whats hit them once Baby G and ReD hit the town.

Watch out Dublin here we come. If only Robbie was there it would make the perfect Take that concert but such is life i will just have to enjoy Jason Orange instead. I would have to get the ole Blues to cut me some slack if Robbie was there as i'd make it my business to get to the stage somehow. I've already warned the Hubby that i could be arrested ha ha ha.

Well good luck and enjoy to all those going to the concert on Sat and take care with the driving now wont you at least until the concert is over then leave the car and hit the pubs.......

ROLL ON SAT.......

Morning

2008-10-14T10:15:00.003+01:00

Hi all
Sorry i haven't updated in a while but you know busy busy.
I'm in a bit of a downer at the moment as i have a lovely coldsore on my chin so anyone with any advise on how to get rid please let me know. It needs to be something really different as i have tried everything. anyway just trying to get on for the moment even though its vile looking but sometimes you just have to give in.

I actually got some coldsore cream on the web today which has the same active ingredient as Zovirax (which is a rip off in the chemists at €7 something for a little tube) and it was only €1.40 per 2g tube. Very good i do think so i ordered a few just to have in case of emergencies.

well off to wallow over this bugger for a while but the rest of you keep smiling.

I LOVE YOU WISPA

2008-10-06T14:33:00.003+01:00

They are back they are back and for good i do think. I am so in love with Wispa's that I bought a box the other day in the shop just so that i can be sure there is one there for my evening time snack for the next month or so. Anyone thinking of what to buy me for my birthday here is my wish list.

Wispa wispa and more wispas

Bottle of Vodka (bottle of white to go with it)

Free pass for a night out (hubby has to give me that)

A few hours without children to clear out the attic. Dying to get my teeth into this.

p.s I Love Wispa's

Oh the sadness

2008-10-06T14:31:00.003+01:00

Unfortunately Man Utd beat my boys Blackburn on Saturday but sure in a way it was to be expected. Man U scumbags. And that Ronaldo don't get me started on that twat.

Anyway the sadness continues with my lack of new episodes of Dexter but hopefully there will be good news when the other half gets home later.
The new series Fringe is quite strange and liking it I must say so more of those coming too. Today is monday so new series of American Chopper for us tonight along with my new deadliest catch tomorrow night and i'm a happy camper. God it doesnt take much does it......

The Cat's Diary:
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Jerks!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now.

Hi all,
Sorry but work has been manic for the last few days and stuff and only getting to catch up now. A nice spin to meath tomorrow is laying ahead of me. Its a long one but it has to be done.
I'm so tired lately its unbelieveable and it doesnt help that once i leave actual work i have to go home to face the the rest of the work at home. Such is a womans life I hear the men say but come on wake up and smell the coffee......... Clothes dont wash themselves, Do you think its the little pixies down the garden that come up every day and make the house clean, clothes washed etc etc. The days of women by the sink are long gone boys....... Make yourselves useful and it may pay dividends in the end.

Dedicated to the Asgard

MY LOVE IS A TALL SHIP by Jimmy Crowley
My love is a tall ship and a sweet brigantine,One of the old girls seldom now seen,And she heaves to the wind, boys. See how she fliesWith stars in her hair, boys, and mist in her eyes.
My love is a tall ship. No finer was seen,For many's the ocean my true love has been,And the wind in the rigging it whispers her name,While brace on the bows watches over the main.
So blow your breezes; blow a fair wind to the Askart,And see that lady go o'er the dark rolling sea.
Haul on the sheets, boys. Make up the downhaul,And step on the oars, lads, and mind you don't fall.Stand by to brace, boys. Unfurl the topsail,And we'd soon make her home on the watery main.
So blow your breezes; blow a fair wind to the Askart,And see that lady go o'er the dark rolling sea.
My love is a tall ship and a sweet brigantine,One of the old girls seldom now seen,And she heaves to the wind, boys. see how she fliesWith stars in her hair, boys, and mist in her eyes.

Lets hope she can rise from the waters and sail once more

Sad day for the Asgard II

2008-09-12T11:07:00.003+01:00

The sail training vessel Asgard II has sunk 20 miles off the coast of France in the Bay of Biscay.
The ship was lost at 8.25am local time (7.25am Irish time) on 11th September 08, 20 nautical miles from the French coast, southwest of Belle-Île-en-Mer.
Asgard II had earlier been abandoned after taking on water.
Advertisement
The alarm was raised shortly before 2.30am this morning.
The five crew and 20 trainees, most of them Irish, took to the ship's life-rafts.
The ship's captain, Colm Newport, said that the vessel was abandoned in an orderly fashion and with no injuries.
He said that all 25 people were off the ship in four or five minutes, and that they stayed alongside the stricken vessel while communicating with search and rescue.
Within 20 minutes from the initial alarm, they had moved the life-rafts away from the Asgard II, which had water up to its deck at that stage.
The crew and trainees were rescued by a French coastguard vessel.
They were taken to a hotel on the nearby island of Belle-Île-en-Mer.
Mr Newport said that he has no idea what caused the ship to sink, adding that it would be foolish to speculate.
He said that there was a 'sudden ingress of water', which caused the vessel to lose stability.
All those on board were now in contact with 'their people at home', and were in warm clothes, being looked after well by the people on Belle-Île. However, they had been through a traumatic event.
The Irish Ambassador to France, Anne Anderson, is travelling from Paris to Belle-Île to meet the crew and trainees.
The operation of the Asgard II, which is a civilian-run traditionally rigged sailing ship, is run by a voluntary committee chaired by the Minister for Defence.

Its a sad sad day.

Christmas Shopping Begins

2008-09-10T15:31:00.002+01:00

I have no trouble in saying that yes i have started by christmas shopping. I do find that if I get a few done every month starting now it doesnt seem so expensive when it comes to christmas. All in all I am a bit annoying seeing as I think I am the most organised person I know and I already see you all rolling your eyes to the heavens saying "God theres loads of time before christmas" but when I am all done and dusted with the shopping I will be able to sit back and laugh while the rest of you try to get in and out of shops on the maddest of Saturdays to get all yours.

I do this every year and find that I can then relax on the run up the Christmas with no need to go to town and barade my way through the crowds only to realise that I dont even know what to get the person or that oh yes they are already sold out.......

Go on and get organised... start now then there seems to be at least some of the christmas paycheck left to get sozzled come the holiday season.

Homicide investigation

2008-09-10T15:25:00.002+01:00

GARDAI continue to question five people detained yesterday in connection with the death of a 17-year-old whose body was found in a lake in Co Clare last November.

Richard 'Happy' Kelly from O'Malley Park was last seen near Daly's Cross on 24th April, 2006.
His body was found in November last year at Lough Brigid near Bodyke in Co Clare and identified using DNA analysis.Four men and a woman in their 20s and 30s are being held in garda stations in Ennis, Shannon and Killaloe.

I hope they can at least find out what happened and charge the relevant people. Its been a long time coming but gardai are getting there slowly.

The new addition

2008-09-04T10:04:00.002+01:00

I just thought i would pop a pic up of the new addition to the family even though she is now nearly 9 months old. Here she is on her christening day and she hasn't changed much since. Again I cannot claim her as she is just like her daddy and her sister. There you go now thats the end of it no more for me as I think two is plenty.

Good Weekend?

2008-09-01T12:58:00.002+01:00

Well back to work after a good weekend. Didn't do much but that was why it was good. My little smidge came back from 4 days holidays in costa del Kilkee with her cousins and granny and grandad and was heartbroken to see them go home. She didn't want to come home at all but with a little persuasion and fun had she came round eventually. My poor heart was breaking when when she was sobbing "I miss them so much" when they had gone but she brighened up when I told her that she was starting her montessori school next Monday.

It was great listening to her update us on what she did on holidays--- collecting shells, building sandcastles, going to the park and amusements, swimming etc etc. God what I would give to be a kid again.

Lets not even get into the 4-1 defeat of Blackburn on Saturday.... I am just disgusted by that result.

Hope you all had a good one

One of those days

2008-08-29T15:11:00.002+01:00

Well all I can say is thank god its Friday. My first full week back at work is over thank god and it seems like I never left. Isn't it always the way though. I dont mind too much really as a bit of adult conversation at least gets the goo goo's and ga ga's out of my head until I get home to collect my angels........

I dont mind being back at work especially when the weather is so crap although there is meant to be some heat in the first two weeks of September. Always when the kids are back to school isn't it. At least with access onto work from anywhere really I can maybe sit outside and work there if the weather forcast is correct.

Today has just been one of those days really. I just want to go home and curl up in front of the TV actually I would prefer to do that every day but the bills must be paid.

Anyway I hope you all have a wonderful weekend whatever you all decide to do.

Mulhall moved to Limerick

2008-08-28T15:20:00.000+01:00

Convicted killer, Charlotte Mulhall has been moved to Limerick Prison after photographs of her holding a knife to a male inmates throat have become public.
Seriously dont we have enough going on here in limerick without sending more loons to join the rest of them in limerick prison. What i dont understand is where did she get the knife and who took the photo....... thats security for you now dont you all feel so safe................ NOT

Football is Back

2008-08-27T12:05:00.003+01:00

Thank god the football is back. My god I think I was suffering from withdrawal symptoms over the summer without the premiership but I feel much better now that I can watch my beloved Blackburn (Yes i did say Blackburn) again. Following a successful 2007–08 campaign, there was much transfer speculation surrounding Santa Cruz at the start of the 2008–09 season. However, Santa Cruz signed a four-year contract with Blackburn Rovers in August to end the speculation to my delight..... However the departure of Brad Friedel did upset me quite a bit but Robinson seems to be doing well. Blackburn have completed the signing of Australia international midfielder Vince Grella on a four-year contract from Italian club Torino.

Lets hope he holds people up in the middle. Fingers crossed this season brings us more goals and in all hope to beat the Man U Buggers just so I can laugh at my hubby and Limerick Gal too.

Back to Work

2008-08-27T11:55:00.002+01:00

Well the time has come for me to get back to the grindstone after baby number 2. By the way it was a girl and she is just like her sister and father..... Wouldnt think she was mine except for the vague recollection of the pain of giving birth.

Anyway now that I am back I will try to keep the blog updated as long as I am not bombarded too much with work although I will make time.

Why is it though that when you get back to work that things are all nice and rosy for a day or so and then you just feel like nothing has changed and its just the same S**T on a different day. Work is quiet which is a good way to ease myself back into things but at the same time the day just drags on so I feel like its an eternity before I pick the babas up from their minder and get to play and cuddle them. My first is starting montessori school on monday so that should be fun and i cant wait to hear all the stories she comes home with.

All the same raise your glasses to me being back to work and will talk again soon.

Ah those were the days

2007-11-08T09:49:00.000Z

Born before 1986??According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us whowere kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't havesurvived because first, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, didn't get testedfor diabetes, our baby cots were covered with brightly colouredlead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doorsor cabinets and it was fine to play with pans. When we rode our bikes,we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat beltsor airbags - riding in the passenger seat was a treat.We drank water from the garden hose, not from a bottle and it tastedthe same.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice withsugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were alwaysoutside playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottleor can and no one actually died from this. We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only tofind out we forgot the brakes.
After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned tosolve the problem. We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one wasable to reach us and no one minded.We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all.
No99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms.
We had friends - we went outside and found them.We played elastic band ball rounders, and sometimes that ball reallyhurt!
We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones but there were no lawsuits.
We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.We played chap-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the ownerscatching us. We walked to friends' homes. We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school,which was just round the corner.We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheardof... They actually sided with the law. This generation has producedsome of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors,ever.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and newideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and welearned how to deal with it all.And you're one of them. Congratulations! Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow as real kids,before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our owngood.

For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about this, my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and itmight put a smile on your face: T
he majority of students in universitiestoday were born in 1986........They are called youth.
They have never heard of 'We are the World, We are the children' and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel. They havenever heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda Carlisle.(possibly not a bad thing of course....)
For them, there has always been only one Germanyand one Vietnam.
AIDS has existed since they were born. CD's have existed since theywere born.
MichaelJackson has always been white.
To them JohnTravolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance. They believe that Charlie'sAngels and Mission Impossible are films from last year. They cannever imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the 'A' Team, Red Hand Gang or the Famous Five. They'll never have applied to be on 'Jim'll Fix It' or'Why Don't You'. They can't believe a black and white television everexisted.And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.

Now let's check if we're getting old...1. You understand what was written above and you smiled.2.You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after anight out.3.Your friends are getting married/already married.4.You are always surprised to see small children playingcomfortably with computers.5.When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.6.You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around.7.You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the goodold days, repeating again all the funny things you have experiencedtogether.8.Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some other friends because you think they will like it too... Yes, you'regetting OLD!

My birthday

2007-11-08T09:07:00.000Z

Yesterday was the BIG 30 birthday people and thanks to all for calls, cards, pressies and best wishes. Now that the decade of the 20's is over and I am into a new decade I will have to start all over again with the fun. Obviously no celebrating at the moment since i am "with Child" but i am planning a big bash in Jan so be ready to hear from me all my peeps.

As well as that myself and BIBs have decided that since the husbands are off for a long weekend on their own to bond in the city of Amsterdam that we are going to do the same come early next year and make a long weekend of shopping, sightseeing and taking in the local culture...... LOL....... whats fair for the goose is fair for the gander boys..... roll on next year......

Din Dins out

2007-11-06T11:27:00.000Z

Was out the other night in the Texas Steakhouse for dinner and my god it was the best i've had in a long time. Mushroom Steak Mushroom was just the bees knees although watching the rest of our party drinking away killed me a bit.

However we frequented the lovely Bar of Smyths afterwards for some rockin music which i have to say was great. Menace was the band and they were very good however i must say my request for Metallica was not played but a great night had by all all the same. Looking forward to going out including drinkies once i've popped.

Colds and Flus

2007-11-06T11:25:00.000Z

Haven't they just been everywhere at the moment. Every 2nd person i talk to either has it themselves or has a kiddy who has it. Even my own recently has been plagued with a bad cough and snotty nose. Give me sick any day but no snot please I just cant handle it.....

Hopefully I wont get it now though as i dont think with everything else going on that i could possibly deal with that too....... Bad enough having to bring a large bottle of Gaviscon everywhere with me for the bloody heartburn.... Oh the joys

Long time no speak

2007-11-06T11:21:00.000Z

Hi all again. sorry i have been away for a bit but I have been mad busy in work here. Nothing strange or startling on the western front here really. all go with the pregnancy here and more scans today. almost there. Getting a little nervous actually as really with only 8 weeks or less to go i have to get all the things in order for christmas.

Looking forward to the new arrival now just the usual jitters like making sure i get to the hospital on time to take all the nice drugs to take away the pain. Too many horror stories for me with people saying that the 2nd goes much quicker and to go as soon as labour starts...... LOL not funny really as pain and me dont really go hand in hand.

lets just hope i am there in time otherwise the other half wont know what hit him and talking about the other half you had better not go running if thats the case. I will keep you all informed anyway on how things go but of course will leave out all the discusting indept details......

So much to do... so little time

2007-10-22T13:41:00.000+01:00

Do you ever feel that there is a whole world of stuff to do and just not enough hours in the day to get the things done? I feel like that all the time. No matter how much I organise and arrange to do things the list keeps on growing and it is a constant vicious circle. How i wish i was a witch.... now i said witch not B*tch but i take that on board too as i am doing fairly well with that status but just to blink the eyes or twitch my nose and all the stuff is done. I found myself having a ciggy yesterday out the front of the house on the bench and i couldn't even finish my ciggy without having to pick up the papers which lay in the garden. Have i a problem... am i over obsessive or am i just being a Monica? I would love to be able to relax a bit and just leave stuff but i cant as if i dont do it then the list becomes longer and the vicious circle comes back at me with more and more and more..... I swear i am not mad people......

Come on South Africa

2007-10-22T13:39:00.001+01:00

Only 10 weeks to Christmas..

2007-10-17T12:42:00.000+01:00

So what its only 10 weeks to christmas yet come on we haven't even passed halloween yet. Seems that loads of people are doing their christmas shopping now (including myself) but i do think its a little early to be putting all the christmas decorations into the stores just yet.

I mean in Dunnes there is halloween stuff at one side which i can understand but then christmast lights and decorations on the other. Give us a chance to get over one holiday first would you people.

I think i will have to just start sending €5 per person to a family somewhere in a less well off world cause trying to think what to buy people is just a nightmare. I would love to see their faces if they got a lovely christmas card advising that €5 or something has been donated to a family in need as their christmas present. Could you imagine their faces? Has everything come down to materialistic things these days? where is the real spirit of christmas gone?

Monday's Over

2007-10-15T16:08:00.000+01:00

Thanks the Lord for that. I hate Mondays but thankfully I will be out of work here in the next 20 minutes which is great. Had quite a bit to do here today but got it all done without too much huffing and puffing and giving out as I usually do.
The guys here are thankful for that I think. Anyway only 4 more days of work this week to go hurray and I'm not on call....... the joys oh the joys

Come on South Aftrica

2007-10-15T16:01:00.000+01:00

Well well it seems to be an England V South Africa Final for the Rugby World Cup. I am cheering for South Africa due to the fact that:-

Hubby has them in the pool and as he says "show me the money"
I would much prefer them to win than who they are playing....... (if you get my drift)

My brother in law has England in the pool so it should be a good ole game with the two boys wanting the money..... Hope there is some good playing now and not as bad as the england V France match the other night. That wasn't too good at all so I heard loads of people saying.

Send a message to be read in the future

Here you can enter a message to be read in the future. LOL what do you tell your decendants seriously..... Hey I used to live on this planet back in the day. There was terrorism, global warming, poverty, etc etc. Who knows with all the global warming if anyone would ever get to read it anyway.

Its Friday......

2007-10-12T09:20:00.000+01:00

Hurray Hurray its Friday again. My favourite day of the week and I'm not on call for the weekend. I love it. Seems that all I do on a weekly basis is wish for this day the whole way through the week. Makes the week seem longer but I just cant help it.

Glad that there will be at least something to watch on TV tonight. Roll on Jonathon Ross. Hope there is someone good on the show now tonight. The thought of no work tomorrow and the next day is a joy i have to say but so much other stuff to get done.......

My weekend will consist of sorting out the house, getting some christmas shopping done, a few visits here and there... All in all about as busy as it can get how wonderful but at least I am not in work so thats a bonus.

Have a good weekend all you mentals...........

Wispa's are back... HURRAY

2007-10-10T15:39:00.000+01:00

HURRAY for Cadburys for bringing back the one and only Wispa...... They have been gone for years and they tried to tell us that Dairymilk Bubbly was the same but IT WASN'T. So to celebrate the other day I bought 10 and stuck them in my freezer. MMMMM wispa out of the freezer is sooooo good. Hubby bought me another 7 or so yesterday (Aint he wonderful) so well stocked up for a bit in case the limited edition runs out but I've also booked a whole box in a shops next order so whooopdy dooo i'm such a happy camper.......

I nearly cried when I had my first one last week and by god they are just like they used to be. God isn't it great that I can be so happy over a chocolate bar. Please Cadburys Dont take them away from me again..............

Strange but true

2007-10-10T14:55:00.000+01:00

Some interesting facts for you. Just thought I'd add a few more as was watching something last night on tele which had a question about what do dolphins drink???? Nothing is the answer Most dolphins live in the ocean and the ocean water is too salty for them to drink! If they would drink sea water, they would actually use more water trying to get rid of the salt than they drank in the first place. Most of their water comes from their food (fish and squid). Also, when they metabolize (burn) their fat, water is released in the process. Their kidneys are also adapted to retaining as much water as possible. Although they live in water, they live as desert animals with no direct source of drinkable water. Sure wouldn't they go mad drinking salty sea water anyway.... LOL.

During your lifetime, you'll eat about 60,000 pounds of food, that's the weight of about 6 elephants!

Slugs have 4 noses!

Recycling one glass jar, saves enough energy to watch T.V for 3 hours!

Lightning strikes about 6,000 times per minute on this planet!

Owls are one of the only birds who can see the color blue!

The starfish is one of the few animals who can turn it's stomach inside-out!

More Monopoly money is printed in a year, than real money printed throughout the world!

The elephant is one of the few mammals that can't jump!

The penguin is the only bird who can swim, but not fly!

One quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet!

Wow!Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different!

Another Day.... Another Shooting

2007-10-09T11:36:00.001+01:00

Here it all kicks off again. Another shooting last night in St Marys Park. A young man in his 20's was shot at around 10.15pm last night and died from his injuries (apparently to the head). This gang fueding is spiraling more and more out of control. Who is doing something about it? Obviously if they are doing something it does not seem to be working.

Innocent people live in these areas who are not involved in these gang wars whatsoever yet they are afraid to go out in case there is a shooting and innocent bystanders get hurt. I know there is issues in a lot of areas in Limerick but I have to say i have seen no improvement in the way these people are handled. The Gardai just cant catch them yet they know who they are???? LIke that makes sense NOT. Come on what way is our society working when people cant walk out of their own homes for fear of their life.

Dexter

2007-10-08T14:13:00.000+01:00

I hope some of you have been watching Dexter on TV.... It has got to be one of the best shows around at the moment. I myself have seen all the first season and am into the 2nd season. Just waiting for episode 3 of season two to be aquired and I will be laughing.

If you think the first season was good then by God when you see whats going to happen in the 2nd is even more intruiging... I wont mess it up for those who are watching it currently but I just wanted to get the spoke in that episode 3 of season 2 will be available by the 14/15th october on the web...... I dont think i can wait that long

Time for Christmas

2007-10-08T09:47:00.000+01:00

Alright People its nearly time for the Christmas spirit again...... "Bah humbug" I hear a lot of you say but I have already started the christmas shopping (and I am even a bit late this year) I always start early so it doesnt look like theres such a dent in the ole bank a/c all at the one time.

Dont you think that its getting a little over the top though. I understand that I am a bit mental doing christmas shopping and even wrapping them already but its the start of October but shops have the christmas decorations out on the floor already. Come on people we haven't even got through Halloween yet. Maybe its come to the time where there are more strange people like me out there and they are all doing their shopping already. And I thought I was the only freak who did it.

So whats on the agenda for christmas this year people????????? I hope there is large amounts of alcohol involved and lots of merry cheer. Come on ya gotta love Christmas????? RIGHT????

Rugby World Cup

2007-10-08T09:38:00.001+01:00

Ok what in the world is going on............. England BEATING New Zealand at the weekend. This is not the way its meant to be. A big shock for a lot of us I do think and I still cant quite believe it myself but on another note fair play to Scotland who gave a fine display against Argentina but lost out in the end. They have come a long way (well further than Ireland who seems couldn't catch/pass a ball in this tournament).................... So who's going to be in the final then? At this stage it could be any but I'd like to see South Africa come out on top... Nothing got to do with the fact that the hubby has them in the family draw I swear.....................................................................

Yum Yum Dinner

2007-10-08T09:31:00.000+01:00

Ok so I went out for dinner on Saturday night with the inlaws to a lovely little restaurant in Limerick called The Market Square. A little basement restaurant but I must say the atmosphere and layout of the place was really nice. Thought it was going to be a little bit hoity toity but no it was very relaxing but also the staff were very professional.

Now to the food oh my sweet mother of god......... It was just fabulous. Done in the way you asked for it and piping hot out of the kitchen. Now for all you wine buffs you would have loved this place with the most expensive bottle of wine at a staggering €600 a bottle. NO JOKE I tell no lies. Where would you be going or who the hell would you be to buy wine at €600 a bottle. I tell you you would not be eating in a basement restaurant anyway LOL.

All things considered it was a lovely night and would definately recommend it to others if going out for a meal in limerick at any stage. Must try get the hubby to take me out there again in the near future.......................Hint hint nudge nudge Mr......................

Cartoons

2007-10-05T16:10:00.000+01:00

Do you think its funny to actually get re attached to cartoons you used to watch as a kid. Even though my little one loves Tom and Jerry and Little Bear on the TV.... whats my excuse for watching them when she isn't around or gone to bed?

Could it be bringing me back to my childhood in to a safe zone or am I just cuckoo......... Thinks its probably the latter but at the same time how much trouble can I be causing if I am at home watching cartoons LOL :0)

Welcome

2007-10-05T15:56:00.000+01:00
