This was eerily accurate...

You Are Pumpkin Pie

You're the perfect combo of uniqueness and quality.
You're able to relate to many types of people with many different tastes.
But you're by no means generic or ordinary.
In fact, you're one of the most original people around.

Those who like you are looking for something (someone!) special.
You tend confuse people when they first meet you. You're not as complicated as you seem.
Even though you have a lot of spice and flavor to you, you're never overpowering.
You are a calm and comforting force in people's lives.
This is, quite possibly, the best commercial I have ever seen.
Human Hourglass

(The French at the end reads:
"Every 10 seconds, someone in the world dies of AIDS.
Protect yourself.")

Is this a little weird or is it just me?

How does the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC not give small children nightmares?? It looks like the balloons are descending upon the crowds, preparing to devour them whole!
Looook at the expression on Sponge Bob...eyes bugging out of his head at the mere thought of the tasty snacks he is about to ingest.

And the people in this picture! They look like they are fleeing for their lives



There was a Shrek balloon too that was equally frightening. I mean, I get the "wow look at that huge cartoon character balloon! Isn't it cool how we waste all this money on something so superfluous?! Mine's bigger than yours, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah". But to have them belly down like that, and so close to the spectators...it just looks so wrong.

C

C is for Crystal-Anne, my full name. My parents had "first baby long name syndrome" lol The only people who call me Crystal-Anne are my mother, her husband, my brother and my aunties. Everyone else knows me as Crystal, and I like that just fine.

C is for Calgary. I have lived in Calgary my entire life. Heck, I've lived in the same 2 kilometres of the same neighbourhood my entire life. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I think that it's sad. I love it because I get to take my kids to the playgrounds that *I* played in as a child. Sad because I wonder sometimes if I missing out by staying in such housing homeostasis my whole life.

C is for co-sleeping. We have always co-slept with our kids. I was given a crib when I was pregnant with Nova but it only ever got used by my best friend's son when he was here and needed a nap. I love co-sleeping...I love having my babies so close to me and the ease of nighttime nursing that goes hand in hand with co-sleeping. Co-sleeping with babies...love it. Co-sleeping with 2 and 4 year olds who sleep sideways and hog the blankets...not so much hehe

Late Halloween pics

The girls wouldn't let me take pictures of them in their non-Halloween garb (they ended up dressing up with their friend's dress up clothes for their first trick-or-treating ever lol) but Indigo isn't old enough to evade my camera yet...so....
This is the outfit that each of my three has worn on their first Halloween. I can barely stand the cuteness!!!!
