Things I do in my spare time!

The “saying hey” Friday edition
Hola Peoples!
I am not watching the World Cup. Yeah, me and the one other person in the world, decided not to watch. Here’s the thing, I can’t watch it by myself. I get frustrated when I have no one to talk to about it… Right. My 7 year old puts it on sometimes, and he’ll stand in the middle of the room and kick an imaginary soccer ball. I watch him!
So anyway – the G20 basically has Toronto in lock down, so you know, the entire GTA has the day off to watch football! The closest thing I saw of the $1 billion in security was a very cool looking huge, military plane-thingy as I was driving by the airport one day.
In other news, I have neck muscle spasms… yeah… from “stress” apparently. It’s NOT fun, let me tell you, but the muscle relaxants are niiiiice! 
K, happy friday!
Organica was here
And she brought us cheesecake! 
She forced me freeze some of the slices after convincing me that it was a bad idea to consume all of that cheesecake at one time.
So. Organica. I forget that we met as bloggers. She’s an awesome person and friend, and even from the first time we met, I felt like I knew her forever.
I felt really bad this visit because I had no time to take her out or do anything fun – she basically had to live my life for 4 days! Which, let me say, as the person that does live my life, is not fun! But she was great with it, helping with the kids, and other various “chores”, like the moving of tables and chairs… out in the rain, driving all over the place… sometimes without a proper meal even – it was a very crazy week!
Sorry Organica!!! I kinda wanted to hide my head in shame when she told the story of her “vacation with shaz” to anyone.
I loved having her around, I love her company, and we did laugh a lot! I’m waiting for her to move to Ontario!
Speedlinking - the good and the bad
If you’re in Toronto this weekend, there are some cool things going on…
1) There is a Harry Potter exhibit going on at the Science Centre – not only this weekend.
2) Walking with Dinosaurs is on today and tomorrow – this looks cool!
It’s been super warm some days this week and I’ve been LOVING it! The kids are off from school today and I think the park is calling!
So, the bad… OIL. STILL. GUSHING.
Yup, the oil is still gushing, it’s horrible – just take a look at the photos from the Gulf (I could only make myself look until #4!) BP’s response has been absolutely pathetic, and at times, thanks to Tony Hayward, uninterested and absurd! It’s like watching a horrific and tragic train wreck in extreme slow motion.
We really, really, really need to put a lot more resources into finding alternate energy sources!
