| Congratulations and a Tribute etc. |
I would like to congratulate myself on bloggin once a week. This entry makes once a week for three weeks. Now to some super bloggers this is nothing but I am congratulating myself nonetheless.
On a different note I will be removing my guestbooks. The old one because it doesn't work, and the new one because it has pop-up ads that come up whenever anyone wants to make and entry. Which I am deducing is the cause of the lack of guestbook entries (except mom, thanks mom).
Do you sometimes save up ideas in your head that would make good blog material? Yeah, me too. So here is one I've had in the back of my mind for awhile:
A TRIBUTE TO DENISE ENGLER
There are many reasons that would lead one decide to write a blog tribute to Denise but I will focus on simply one. Denise is the computer whiz of our blog ring. Don't you agree? Think back to when you had a question about how to post a photo or fix something on your blog. Who answered your querie? I bet 8 out of 10 times it was Denise. I've read many a detailed guestbook response by Denise helping bloggers in distress. She outlines exactly what needs to be done to acheive the desired result. Instead of looking through everyone's comments and guestbooks to find out how many people Denise has helped I just ask you readers to comment on this entry and say how Denise has helped you out. Character qualities these actions show about Denise - she handles details well and cares about people (even people she doesn't know I might add).
Thanks Denise for the helpful role you have played in our ring.
DREAM JOBS
I would like to announce that two of my very best friends got their dream jobs in the same week (now this news is weeks old but I never did blog about it) Melanie, as you may know has received a great position being the Archivist for the Anglican church. She'll be given tons of new responsibility, get to help people discover their pasts, organize to her heart's content, preserve history, learn a lot, and even write. She'll do great! Congratulations Melanie!
The very same week my friend Jenna Jensen got a position in the maternity unit at the Camrose hospital. This means, no more commute and no more working with seniors. It also means getting to spend time with new moms and their precious little ones teaching important things - like breastfeeding. As a part of this job Jenna will be getting more education which is exciting as well. Jenna suits this job well. Maybe she'll still be working there when I have a baby. Crazy. Congratulations Jenna!
Well, that's it for tonight.
Hope you are all well.

I thought this was hilarious - to google the phrase "Aimee needs". Most of these were funny - some will not be repeated.
According to google, I need the following:
1. Aimee needs a foster home
2. Aimee needs a host
3. Aimee needs more cheese
4. Aimee needs to get a brain
5. Aimee needs to spend a few months training in the ring
6. Aimee needs a new t-shirt designer
7. Aimee needs to become more independent
8. Miss Aimee needs some retraining
9. Aimee Needs A Mommy!!!!!
10. All Aimee needs now, is a caring family to cherish and pamper her for the rest of her life.
11. aimee needs you
A couple others that caught my eye, "Aimee needs her camera" and "Aimee needs rest". I particularly liked number 10, until I read a little further to find out that Aimee is a pitbull. Here she is:

Hi Blog friends,
I haven't written in a long time but will write a little now. Just finished having a baby shower for my good friend Jena Friedrich. She (and her husband Brent) had a baby boy - Leif William - on September 26. He's 15 days old and cute as ever. Jenna Jensen, another close friend hosted the party with me and we shook hands after everyone had left, declaring it a success. It cannot go without mentioning that Jenna J. made a Mouse cake that was so cute and definitely the centerpiece of the food table.
This weekend we were out in BC visiting my family. We had an excellent time. A good holiday - not without adventure though.
Platinum Blonde readers will know that my mom injured herself carving a pumpkin with a scalpel. To clear up a few questions... Carving a pumpkin on thanksgiving? Yes, we sometimes did this as kids because we didn't really "do" halloween in my family. So I bought a pumpkin and thought we could carve it as a family activity. Why was she using a scalpel? Another activity on the weekend was designing and silk screening family t-shirts - maybe my brother will post a photo or two of these. Part of making shirts involved cutting out stencils - a scalpel is reasonable for that, and so, someone thought it might also be good for the pumpkin. Mom was using it starting to carve the nose, while thinking, "Man this is really sharp, I better be careful" then, slip, she sliced into the back of her left thumb. Yuck yuck yuck. She cut really deep and severed for sure one tendon maybe two. She was going to have surgery to get reconnnected today, but it will now be sometime later this week. Please pray that she will get good treatmeant and heal well and speedily.
Needless to say, we did not finish carving the pumpkin. Infact, Steven punched through the face (what was there) of the pumpkin because of what it caused mom. I said I was glad he didn't punch the scalpel!
Well, it is late here and my short work week begins tomorrow. Back to somewhat of a routine.
More later.
Aimee
Ps. Plat blonde readers will know that Lance and I got to spend time with Melanie and Nathan. It was excellent! Really fun to get to hang out all four of us together. Definitely enjoyed getting to know Nathan more. We enjoyed their company and hospitality. |
