striving for happiness...

oooohhh...what is this I've found? Is it? No - can't be...the first trailer for the Order of the Phoenix? Watch and enjoy, and buy me candy for making you so happy!



ciao...casey

it sure has been a while - what's new with me you ask?

-on friday I was cutting with an exacto knife and ruler and the knife slipped and sliced my left thumb...I ended up getting 2 stitches at the clinic and they even put a stitch RIGHT THROUGH MY FINGERNAIL!! It looks kind of nasty but doesn't hurt anymore. I might post some pics once I get my film developed so stay tuned!!

-things have been a bit tense at work lately with positions being moved/shifted/re-structured...so much going on!!!

-my christmas shopping has officially started! Megan and I went monday night and I have decided that is my favourite day to go to West Ed. It wasn't busy at all and I had my first gingerbread latte of the season...I do prefer starbucks to second cup hands down!

-I have found so many projects to do off of this newsletter but I really shouldn't buy any more fabric until after christmas. It's soooo hard!! Especially when I have to go buy fabric for Jessica that she's going to give to her sister for christmas! *sniff sniff*

-only 4 more days until Sal is finished school...can't believe it's done already! maybe we'll be able to enjoy married life together now and really bond as hubby & wifey!

-last but most definitely not least, today is the first day I'm listening to holiday music. I couldn't put it off any longer now that it's being played in every store I go into! So grab a cup of hot cocoa and tune into the best holiday music on the internet!

have a good hump day!

p.s. nice to have you back, mom!!

ho hum...another celebrity divorce...sure didn't see this one coming.

hey all...

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this video on the net today - FINALLY! Someone is actually pissed that they didn't win an award - it's Faith Hill losing last night at the Country Music awards. It's pretty unbelievable, hey? What do you think? Good that someone actually reacted honestly, or pathetic that they couldn't keep their emotions in check?

Hey guys...

Did you know that Bob Barker is 83 years old? And we thought we were getting up there! In honour of his retirement, check out this list of the top 10 things to love about this great man of daytime game shows!

So what do you think of the new season of Grey's Anatomy so far? I've got to admit I'm a bit undecided. I really like the medical cases they've been having, but there are some other things bugging me:
-I wish Burke would tell someone that he's not OK because of poor Miranda!
-Izzy is annoying as a passive doctor
-Derek and Meredith's story is too flip-floppy to me and there's nothing happening

But that's just me...what do you think?
Have a good weekend...

Hope you have a fantasmo day!!

Hi Girls,

I have another song that I just love right now. It is slow but good.
"Ache" by James Carrington
You can listen to it here.

Have a fab afternoon

It's amazing how as soon as November 1st comes around the Christmas displays/commercials start coming out in full force! I've seen ads for Christmas trees, Festival of Trees, Christmas vacations - you name it! But what I really can't believe is that Christmas is less than two months away!!! How the heck did that happen?
If any of you find old clothes/shoes/jackets that you are looking to get rid of, remember that Tracey and I can take them to the Mustard Seed...I've been taking garbage bags of stuff already just from going through my closet! We'll take them down to the church once you've collected stuff (like how I volunteered you, Trace?)

Thanks guys, and Merry Holiday season!
casey.

so after reading this article, i was right when i called it that the oscar is jinxed for any married actress to win it!

so...we finally did it! we went to the rocky horror picture show. it was a lot of fun. i had really forgotton about the whole movie plot (if you call it one) but the audience sure didn't. it definitely has a cult following! the costumes were quite funny (even a greased up rocky) and i loved the props! but i still cannot get over what people say when watching the movie....how many times did they see it to remember what and when to say things?? it was crazy, but lots of fun!





and in other news....i was kind of bitching about how cold and gross it was in the last week but i have had a change of heart since seeing the snow. i know it makes for crappy driving conditions but i got the feeling of skiing in the air...ski season is just around the corner and i am pumped!!!

have a good week guys!

so i found this trailer and looks freaking good!! especially the last statement by natalie maines....ahhhh

Hi All,

This is my new favorite song it is called "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor and you can listen to it on her MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/reginaspektor

Jeaninne

okay so i was watching gilmore girls on tuesday nite and rory was talking to logan about logan's pitch to these bigwigs and how great it was. and yadda yadda yadda logan says yeah but really it is like myspace. what the heck is myspace....i ask the question in hopes that you can answer since you posted a link of myspace! :)

that is my post for this blog thursday!

Must share my new favourite song of the day - it's by Foy Vance and it's called 'Homebird'. It was on an episode of Grey's Anatomy and you can hear it here on his myspace. It should play automatically on the music player.
Hope you enjoy it!

I know its been a while and you're probably not even checking this anymore, but I thought I'd post a little update of my life and what's been going on:

1. I've become even more crazy about sewing that I am going to start doing hand sewing - Jeaninne, you may scoff at me now for being a grandma, but just wait til you see my first sampler!
2. Sal and I totally pigged out on pizza friday night and watched a little action flick you probably haven't heard about but was really good: 'Running Scared' with Paul Walker (*sigh*...dreamboat)
3. Work is better this week - personalities haven't been clashing up in my little workspace, but there is a massive exhibit that has become the bane of my existence
4. I'm not dressing up this hallowe'en as I am taking a stand against the man (I'll go into detail later on)
5. I have officially read 3 books so far this month: 'Le Divorce' by Diane Johnson, 'the Footprints of God' by Greg Iles, and 'The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night' by Mark Haddon (I think?!?) 6. Mustard Seed is still going strong, although I'm a bit upset I haven't been getting the cat calls and marriage proposals like Tracey has!
7. We got our wedding photos from Caley and I can't wait to get them printed - they look so cute! And her little baby is so tiny - I'm trying for Sal to get mother's urge...not happening yet!
8. Sal is still as busy as ever with school - classes for him end at the end of November.
9. I'm slightly starting to feel the giddyness of Christmas as I heard on tv last night about the Festival of Trees (I don't go, but it's all about Christmas Trees!!)
10. I'm still loving Grey's Anatomy, but I can't talk to Dennis about it because he calls everybody on the show whores! And Lost? I know last week's episode was confusing, but it was still really good. Can't wait to see what Sawyer sees with Fenry...yowza!!

So that's about it for now - what's new with you?
~casey

p.s. check out this website: fluideffect - it has a ton of celeb portrait with before and after the airbrushing...some of them are scary!

okay so in the papers recently george from grey's says that he is gay...and apparently it came out like this because of this arguement where some not so nice word were uttered in george's direction...oooo scandalous!!

i'm back!! although i really have nothing to say. still having fun at work...doing the mustard seed thang...and gathering around for craft night with the tootsie rolls (ha ha-case) or as jeaninne says the titsie rolls!! sicko! lol

i actually saw a fabulous movie on saturday-departed...freaking awesome. you know i really do love leonardo dicaprio. i know there was the whole overhype titanic thing, but really what a great actor!! very cool movie.

ooooo and in other exciting news i made cinnamon buns from scratch. apparently (according to my father) they need more butter and cinnamon next time. well i will try them again on sunday!

have a good weekend guys...
talk to you later with more eventful news!
