Our bird died

My mom has had this budgie for a while, and today when she got home, she notice it was lying dead in its cage. Quite sad actually because we dont know how it died. Right away my mom got on the computer and started Googling why budgies die. I never noticed the bird very much, I think I walked past the cage a few times today not even knowing. I feel kinda bad because My mom really liked it.

Season's hottest perfum!

Miss Dior Cherie, looks like it smells very good.

A Glam gal's mantra is life is short, so she surrounds herself with the sweetest eye candy out there, the softest satin, the lushest cashmere, hits of Diamante, its all too tempting to resist.

Ouch my ankle!

This morning Lisa and I went to the gym, and when we were putting away our equipment, I sort of tripped on someone else's. I guess I was in a hurry. My ankle really hurt and I kinda collapsed for a sec. I shook it off and went about my day. But now I am lying in bed with ice on it, barely able to walk. It seemed to get worse throughout the day as I walked on it and began limping. I think I may have torn ligaments because my ankle is very swollen. This sucks!!! I have so much to do tomorrow and Friday, and I need 2 legs in good condition!

Oprah Show

Today was one of the saddest Oprah shows I have ever seen. It was all about kids being sold into the sex trade by their parents for mere dollars a day. It was terrible and sad. Many of the children are under 15 years old. These little girls don't know any better and are brought up in a world I could not even imagine. Oprah has pledged to do something about it, and I just hope that more people can become aware of what is going on in places like Cambodia and Thailand.

"New Kansas Football Video"

click title to watch

Here is the newest Victory for the Kansas Football team. Jonny is interviewed about his touchdown! Apparently this was a very big win for them over Missouri!

All of the fans gathered at this lake where they threw the goalposts in and them some jumped in after. Im not sure why, but I will ask Jonny because he is in town for a couple days!

Ok, So I am remembering when I was a kid and used to go trick or treating. First of all, we would start with big huge pillow cases, and wouldn't stop till they were full. I think we stayed out for as long as we could, and we would hit up all the complexes, so we could get more candy faster.

My brother on the other hand, goes out with a little bag or bucket (a fraction of the size of a pillow case) and him and his friends go for a bit, until they get tired. I used to dump out my whole pillow case when I got home and sort all the candy into piles. He doesn't do that, maybe I will do it for him. But it seems like nowadays everyone hands out the same stuff.

Super cute!

 
This little boy and girl are twins who live in my neighborhood, I thought they looked super cute, so I gave them extra candy! 

Star Wars

 
Here is my little brother and his friend. Adam is Anakin Skywalker, and Nick is Darth Vader. My mom is very proud for making his costume at the last minute! 

My Halloween Collage!

Chris had a Halloween Party

We all went down to the OB later, where they had treasure hunts and costume contests!

20 Things about me: PartTwo

hmmmm.......

11. I Love taking pictures, I bring my camera almost everywhere I go, and I have boxes and boxes of photos, but lately I have been really into Scrapbooking. I plan to some day have them all organized by year and event in beautifully hand-crafted scrapbooks made by moi!!

12. I dont like onions! I've always been told that someday I will, but I just don't. I can only handle them in soup and in onion rings. If they are in food, no matter how tiny - I can tell.

13. I can bake and cook, and I usually don't even need a recipe. I knew how to make dinner before most of my friends could microwave a pizza pop - Im not kidding.

14. Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I don't know why, but I always feel relaxed and happy, On Sundays, I like to sleep in, eat a big breakfast, take a bath, clean my room, and watch movies.

15. I am optimistic and hopeful! Things always seem to work out in the end!... don't you think?

16. Altogether, I have 8 Grandparents, 7 of which are still living. I feel very lucky because of this! I was also the first grandchild for most of them!

17. I love "Jack in the Box!" No one understands why, but they have this salad called "Southwest Chicken salad" and it is unbelievable. I must have one everytime I cross the border! I also like their curly fries, and oreo cookie milkshakes!

18. I don't like rude people, or people with too much attitude.


19. My three favorite vacations have been Spain, Hawaii, and Cancun! But I've been to Disneyland 7 times and I love it over and over again!


20. I don't like rain very much... ok I don't mind it sometimes, but It is raining right now, and I can hear it outside my window, and couldn't think of anything better for number 20! :)


Okay. So there is my list! Since I was tagged by Suzanne, I now tag Lisa to make her 20 things list!

When will this day end?

Ok, So I have been at school since 9 am this morning, and couldn't park underground so I've already had to move my car twice to keep from getting a ticket for parking over the time allowed. I have to work today at 5:00 for the Canucks game that starts at 6, which means that I wont be home till late. I also had a test today, that was very stressful, because it was timed, and we were all racing to finish in time. I am excited for tomarrow, because it is the weekend, and I can relax!!!

My Halloween Costume

This year for Halloween I am going to be "Alice and Wonderland"! Here is the costume I ordered off of Ebay and got in the mail. Still not sure exactly what we are all doing, but Chris is having a pre- Halloween party on Saturday, and then I think we will go downtown.

Love bird Pictures from Portofino Italy

I like these pictures that I found today on Justjared.com. This is Josh Hartnett by the way, and model Gemma Ward. The photoshoot, done for Vogue magazine is called "The Love Boat, Innocence Abroad", shot in Portofino, Italy.

20 things about me!

Ok, so I was tagged by another blogger, so I will start my "20 things about me list" for those who dont really know me, and those who like reading some random, but fun information.
Here it goes...

1. I have been a flower girl at two weddings. One time I even caught the bouquet.
2. I love pizza, pasta, sushi and Thai food. But NOT the yucky sushi like sea urchin and eel!


3. I have never had a dog as a pet. I have always wanted one, but somehow always ended up with cats. I have had cats, fish, birds, and hamsters in my life... but no dog.

4. I love James Dean, I have a posters, a calendar, and screensaver. I think he looks so classic and memorable in those famous black and white photos of his.

5. My all time favorite TV show is The Wonder Years,
But I also love... Desperate Housewives, The OC, and Sex in the City!!!

6. I love to drink coffee, tea and eat chocolate while watching t.v. and studying. I actually like to study while I watch T.V., and talk on the phone, and use my laptop. There is only enough time in one night, right?


7. I used to keep a diary all through school up to grade 9, which I would write in everynight, and would bring to school for my friend Kelsey to read, she would bring her diary too, and we would know everything about each other's day to day life.

8. I used to want to be a News Anchor just like Pamela Martin, who I got to meet and saw broadcast live during a field trip to CTV news station.

9. I am outgoing, friendly, and sensitive. Sometimes too sensitive though, but who isn't. At least I'm not insensitive.

10. I am afraid of sharks, and being in the Ocean at night, where I can't see the bottom and what is underneath me. This is why I won't watch the movie "Open Water" because I love snorkeling and fish!

I will write the other 10 next time. I have no more energy left tonight.

Hurricane Wilma

I couldn't believe all the pictures on the news tonight of the damage caused by yet another hurricane. This weekend Hurrican Wilma gutted the coast of Cuba, Florida Keys, and Cancun Mexico. I was in Cancun less than 2 years ago, and some of the footage I saw was from places I had been. It is so sad, this resort town will now have to rebuild so much to replace all the beaches, hotels and shopping malls hurt from the storm. Cancun relies on their tourist industry.

This picture is of a little Mexican girl waiting in line for water in the center of town, I like it because I think she looks very hopeful! Airports are still closed and no one can fly home yet. Not a very nice way to end a vacation, thats for sure.

I almost Lost my Blog

So last night, all of a sudden i logged on and my blog was blank. This morning it still wasnt there, so I messaged Quentin frantically not knowing what to do. The Blogger supportjust emailed me and said this...

Hi Candice,

I'm afraid you've fallen victim to a bug in our system which occasionally
loses template data. Your posts are still safe, but unfortunately we were
not able to recover your template for you. To use one of our default
templates, you can click the Pick New link on the Template tab. This will
let you publish your blog again while you recreate your old template. We
apologize for the inconvenience and we are working on getting this problem
fixed. However, it is always a good idea to save your own copy of a
template if you make extensive customizations.

Sincerely, Graham
Blogger Support

So I decided to fix my template and start by making it green. Green is actually my favorite color!
