I don't really have the time to blog... and all the more to blog hop...
So I am bidding the blog world goodbye!

For my wife... and the best mom to my children... we love you very, very much! I found this poem through facebook and thought I'd share it with all the moms out there.
"Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom."

Received this from a friend...
NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire."?
It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing "the absolute worst use of lifelines ever."?
After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon she was posed with an extremely easy $100 question. The question was:?
"Which of the following is the largest?"?
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large??
Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized that this was a question to which she did not readily know the answer.? "Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie," said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. "I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be."?
Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.?
"Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!" exclaimed Evans. "Darn. I think I better phone a friend."?
Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant.?
"Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!" said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. "Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun."?
Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.?
"Come on Betsy, are you sure?" said Evans. "How sure are you? Puh, that can't be it."?
To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick 'The Moon.'?
"I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience," said Evans.?
Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.?
"Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking," said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. "But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see. For which is larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer."?
Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'?
I couldn't find the video for the above one... but here's another one and yet another one.

Did you watch the inauguration? Sad to say, we missed it as we don't have cable TV connected yet at our new home. So I will just have to read it on the internet.

How was your holiday vacation?
Mine was just great!
For Christmas eve, we were invited to a friend's house for dinner. Though we left at around 11pm because we wanted to be home when midnight comes.
Opening of gifts were done on the 25th! Kids were really happy with what they've got.
And then, surprise, surprise! My wife decided to prepare midnight dinner for New Year's eve. It's just us and the kids. But we had a feast. And it was a great meal!
My kids were just too happy to be able to stay up until midnight. We did the usual countdown and then they started jumping up and down with lots of coins in their pockets.

From my inbox... Read and then watch the video... it's a lovely story...
A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together.
Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' to.
For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island Father and son went on to complete the race together.
Now, please take time to watch this video with music!

My friend bought a ticket for C$1650 each last June for their family travel this December... now, same flight can be bought at C$1300... and there's 6 of them! Imagine the savings have they waited to purchased their tickets. But then, there may be limited seats with this cheaper fare.
"Airlines have been hit hard by the economic slump and that has resulted in a drop in passengers over thanksgiving. Recent airfare price drops may be too little too late Christmas traveler.
Air fare prices are down about 25 percent from what they were just a few months ago. Which might encourage some people to alter plans to book last minute air travel.
The day before Thanksgiving is supposed to be one of the busiest air travel days of the year, But that's not the case this year..." -- SOURCE
