Charity concert for Manuela

You may recall a story featured on K-Litefm news regarding a 9 year old Hamilton girl Manuela who had travelled with her family to Columbia to visit family.  When they went to return home they ran into problems with Manuel's travel documents.  As a result the family had to return home without her.  The story has a happy ending with Manuel finally back at home with her family but now her family who endured emotional suffering has also incurred huge legal debts. 

This is where you can help. 

The parishioners of St. Margaret Mary Community are hosting a benefit concert to assist the family financially and emotionally.  It features the Canadian Orpheus Male Choir and will take place at 8:00 pm on Friday, May 23, at St. Margaret Mary Church, 20 Idlewood Avenue, Hamilton mountain.  Tickets are $10 each and proceeds will go to Manuela's family.  Tickets are available at Credo Books, 1000 Upper Gage Avenue.   We invite all to plan a family or group outing for an evening of joyful music.

Happy Birthday Hamilton Magazine!

I was lucky enough to be invited to the 30th Anniversary Party of Hamilton Magazine this past Friday at Liuna Station.  The main ball room look absolutely stunning!  They transformed the look of the room into a swanky stylish lounge bar.  There were food stations from local restaurants set up with delicious treats and the bar set up in the middle of the room served cocktails with unique Hamilton reference names ie: The Jolly Cut drink had a jolly rancher candy in it.  Yummy!! 

Congratulations to Hamilton Magazine on 30 years and once again thank you for including me in your magazine and on the front cover, it was such a honour!!

MuMs R' gRRRR88888!!

Happy Mums DayTo all the Mother's out there, I want to wish you a stress free, glorious Mother's Day Sunday!! 

QEW closure starting tonight!

Many of you will be using the Niagara Bound QEW this weekend...if your travels take you over the Burlington Skyway....heads up!!!

The Niagara Bound QEW will be CLOSED over the Burlington Skyway due to bridge construction.  The closure times and dates are as follows:

Friday May 9th from 10pm - 10am Sat May 10th

Sat May 10th  from 8pm to 8am Sun May 11th

Beware that traffic will be detoured onto Eastport Drive.  If you're planning a Mother's day breakfast / brunch this weekend and you need to get to the East side of the Burlington Skyway (the Lake is North) ...then make sure to give yourself extra driving time!!!

I know what I'd want if I was a Mother...

I know it's difficult for everyone to decide what to get mom for Mother's Day...but if I were a mom I know what I'd want.....a day of pampering...not only would I like to go to the spa for a massage, manicure and pedicure, but when I got home I'd like the house to be spotless, the garden tended to with loads of beautiful flowers planted, oh and dinner made!!!!  LOL...that's a lot right...but remember we are playing "pretend" here...I am not a mother, but if I was that would be a dream gift!!

Just remember, you know what your mom's likes and dislikes are.  Does your mom have a busy schedule, with work, kids sports games, house work etc? Then why not take a few or all of those daily chores off her plate.  Clean the house, make her brunch and suprise her with a new outdoor chaise lounge!!  Give it some thought, you've still got some time before Sunday..don't forget flowers are not cliche and are always a beautiful choice!!

I'll be at the Ancaster Future Shop this Sat!!

Come see me on location at the Grand Opening of the new Future Shop in Ancaster, 1110 Wilson St.  I'll be there this Sat May 2nd from 1pm - 5pm.  From what I've heard there's amazing doorcrasher deals on brand name home theatre systems, tv's, computers, digital cameras, etc..

Canadian Idol Brian Melo, will also be there signing autographs Saturday from 1pm - 3pm.  Also don't miss Toronto Maple Leaf Darcy Tucker signing autographs on Sunday from 1pm - 3pm. 

And don't miss out on the FREE gift cards, just be one of the first 100 people in line on Friday, Saturday or Sunday....PLUS 1 lucky person will win a $500 (five hundred dollar) shopping spree each morning. 

Taxes due at midnight...or are they???

Thanks so much to Garry who sent me a link to the Globe and Mail article released today at 1:29pm, regarding the Canada Revenue Agency has extended the deadline for online filing to May 6th, as a result of the heavy traffic on their site.  I tried myself to see how long it would take...their homepage never uploaded...it's that slow!!

Here is the link to read the article.

 

I'm the winner of the Big Brother 9 pool!!!!!

Yes!! Adam won Big Brother 9 last night!!!!  Adam also known as A-Baller won the $500 Grand over Ryan....the jury voted for Adam 6-1!!!!  Which means I also won $160 from the BB9 pool I was in!!!!  It was well worth the $10 gamble!!!  Can you tell I'm excited with all the !!!  If you know anything about me, I love reality TV!!  So I'm equally excited that Big Brother summer edition will be back on CBS this summer!! 

 

Can you see out of your windshield?

Man oh man do I ever need to go get my jeep cleaned!!  Driving today in the light rain, my windows were so dirty and covered in bugs I could barely see once I turned on my intermittent wipers.  All of a sudden all these bugs are everywhere.  I notice them a lot when I'm jogging outside as I run into a swarm of them and they go into my eyes and mouth...lovely...protein??  LOL...

I should actually get motivated and clean the whole jeep inside and out...I haven't done that in probably 6 months.... I'll probably hold off on the wash outside though as it's supposed to continue raining today and tomorrow.... = (

Do we learn anything from "The Learning Channel"

YES of course we do!!!  I love the TLC network and have for years.  My favourite shows right now have to be "Little People Big World" and "What Not to Wear"... I learn a lot from these programs ... Stacey and Clinton help me know what to wear for my body type ... the Roloff's, what do they teach me ... well first to clean up after myself ... wow ... did anyone tell this family that a tv crew would be filming them ... they may have wanted to pick up a few things ???  No but seriously, I love this family, with being visually "different" they are so normal and loving.

Janet on Tour!!

Janet Jackson
SHE'S GOING ON TOUR....AND I HAVE TO GOOOOOO!!! 
There are a few must see artists that I've yet the opportunity to go and see in concert.  Celine Dion for example is one of those artists that people like to make fun of....but speaking honestly, I am a fan and have been since the early 90's.  She's an amazing vocalis

Your fav eco friendly songs...

I found this cool article online today written by Mike Devlin at http://www.canada.com/, it was called  "Top 10 eco-friendly rock songs".  In honour of Earth Day today, he wrote this list of the top 10 rock songs that were both PRO EARTH and made an impact musically.  My fav is Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell.

1. Bruce Cockburn, "If a Tree Falls" (1988)

Songwriters and environmentalists love Cockburn equally, for his music represents unflinching activism. It's an ugly job, so give Cockburn credit. Without his many ecological laments -- of which "If a Tree Falls" ranks near the tippy-top -- our world would be a much colder place.

Desperate for housewives???

I'll try and talk about the show without giving anything away.....

Ok, did you watch Deperate Housewives yesterday??  It was good...I feel like there's a bit too much going on though.  Too many outstanding story lines and I'm afraid that no one story line will get the attention it deserves.  

Gabby is starting to annoy me a bit....the whole "handicap" parking space thing that she's trying to pull is annoying me.  Come on we all know that Gabby is shallow but lets give her a better story line then that.....

This is TORTURE!!

I feel trapped inside a cage today!!!  I wanna go out and play in the sun!!!  The worst is, I was out on a patio an hour ago and now I'm inside...too bad I couldn't take this show on the road!!!

Enjoy your Friday!! 

 

Come chat with me online...

102.9 K-Litefm is now offering you the chance to chat with us!!  If you log on to www.k-litefm.com you'll notice a "chat" tab near the top of the homepage.  From there you'll find our chat schedule.  You can chat with me every Monday afternoon at 1pm, just before I go on the air at 2pm.  Take a break from work, grab a coffee or a snack and we can chat about anything and everything...well to a certain degree I guess...lol...But maybe what I'll do is bring up a topic and we can discuss it.  Anyway, look forward to chatting online with you all!!  See ya Monday's at 1pm!!

Biggest Loser...WOW!!

OMG, did you watch the season finale of Biggest Loser???!!!  We did it, finally a female was won!!!!!

32 year old Ali went from 234 pounds to 122 pounds....that's 112 POUNDS LOST!!!!!!!  But she's also gained....a whopping $250,000 grand prize!!  Her goal going into this competition was to lose weight for obvious reason, but also her personal goal was to wear sleeveless shirts...ummm yeah...she sure can now with all the confidence in the world...she's got amazing toned arms now!!!

I've watched all 5 seasons of the Biggest Loser and I must say Ali's journey has really affected me the most.  Watching her struggles and her triumphs has encouraged me on my own journey.  What an amazing transformation!!!!

Clearing the mind with exercise...

I am so proud of myself I went for jog today!!  Not really quite sure how far I went...but I jogged for approx 1 hour with 2 short walking breaks to stretch and catch my breath.    I really enjoyed it, it was cleansing, invigorating and relaxing at the same time.  Although now I find my left hip really needs a good stretch....I know I didn't stretch enough before I left the house...not smart I know!!

Get out and enjoy this weather, we've all been craving it for so long!!!!  BTW...I'm wearing sandals today...it's only 11 degrees...but I don't care, I got a pedicure last week in anticipation to this great weather...and I must tell you it feels amazing to not be wearing socks!!! 

Supercities Walk to end MS

Congratulations to everyone who took part and walked to end MS yesterday in the Supercities Walk for MS.  Over 160 communities took part in the walk and something like 70,000 participants, raised a huge amount of money for a very important cause.  The effects of multiple sclerosis are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. There is no cure.

If you still want to donate to the MS Society of Canada, click here.

It's a blah day...

On days like this when it's foggy, rainy and cold we sometimes need something to inspire us.  I received an email yesterday and I wanted to pass it along, as it created an "ah ha" moment for me.

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.  Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

La la la la la la la life is wonderful!!!

Today has been one of those days where I just can't help but smile.... = )  I opened up some windows in the house this morning and opened up the blinds, let the sunshine fill each room and I cleaned!!!  A bit of spring cleaning is theraputic I think...and this coming from the girl who dislikes cleaning. Cleaning usually puts me in a bad mood but today, it was such a nice, refreshing experience!!!  Take a deep breath with me...breathe in.....come on...seriously do it with me....breathe in.........out.........in...........out........ahhhhhhhh.......so relaxing!!!!!! Now smile with me!

Bikini or Full Bathing Suit?

If you're one of the lucky ones who are able to wear a bikini....I envy you!!!!!!!!  I have always wanted to be able to wear one, but I'm so not there yet.  A few more hundred hours on the treadmill and plenty more protein and veggies...and maybe one day I'll have the courage to wear one. 

But unlike years ago where I wouldn't even be caught dead in a full bathing suit without a long t-shirt...I am now able to wear a tankini...love them!!!  Who ever invented that design is brilliant!!!  So now that spring is here...summer is right around the corner...so what type of bathing suit will you be wearing?

JUNOS

Did you watch the Juno Awards last night?  If you missed it you missed a really good show.  I thought it flowed really well and the host Russell Peters was really funny and a great host.  There was a lot of entertainment with excellent performances.  And winners...well...Celine lead with 6 nominations..but won NONE...Feist won all 5 she was nominated for ... Michael Buble won the Fan Choice award and oh yeah Serena Ryder won New Artist of the year award...so many winners.  The full list of winners should be up on www.juno-awards.ca soon.

I love the sun!

Sunshine makes all the difference don't you find??!!!  With Spring FINALLLLLYYYY here I can't help but thinking of warmer tempuratures and beautiful sunshine...makes me smile.  With the longer than normal winter and the record snowfall, the sunshine is just what I need. 

You and I both know that sunshine can cheer us up on a bad day, it makes us feel nice and warm inside...but did you know that sunshine can also help our bodies!!

Scientists believe sunlight may reduce the risk of several types of cancer.  Recent studies have found that sunlight can help protect you from cancer of the:

All I Ever Wanted

OMG I couldn't stop crying last night while watching Brian Melo win Canadian Idol! His first single "All I Ever Wanted" was so moving...especially when he went out into the audience and embraced his family!!!  Oh and then when he hugged his mom and dad...whew...I almost lost it watching his mom with tears streaming from her eyes and his dad so proud...it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!!!

CONGRATULATIONS BRIAN!

Brian Melo Wins 

Wow was it ever hard to vote!

I got on the phone last night as soon as Canadian Idol was finished and started dialing Brian Melo's toll free number...first time, no problem I got right through...but then...it was busy, busy again, again and again...it was extremely difficult to get my votes in last night...which is a good sign...everyone was voting for Melo!!!!  Now we wait!!  I hate waiting = (

Final Two!

Ok so the final 3 contestants sang on Canadian Idol last night.   They each had to sing a fans choice and a judges choice.  All three had solid performances which is a little scary, it all comes down to the votes!  Catch the results show tonight at 8pm!!

Hot enough for ya!??!!

Boy this heat is really taking a toll on me!  The air is so heavy it's difficult just to walk outside.  With the humidity it feels like 36 degrees!!!  So just remember, to take it easy!  Risk of heat-related illness can be reduced by following these recommendations:

  • Stay cool - if possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air-conditioning, visit a local public space that has air conditioning such as a shopping mall or library.
  • Stay well-hydrated - drinking plain water is best or diluted fruit juice is also good. Avoid drinking alcoholic and caffeinated beverages on hot days.
  • Use electric fans with caution.

The Simpsons!

Are you a Simpsons fan??!!  Well I must admit I am too and I'm realy excited that The Simpsons movie is finally in theatres!!  If you're a true fan you'll appreciate this...On a recent road trip to Chicago I actually found a 7-11 turned into a Kwick E Mart!!  Here are some of the pictures that we took..make sure you see all of them, there are 4 pictures posted .... you may need to click on read more a the bottom ....
Donut 95x95  Yes this donut is 'real' and was soooooo good...

Hamilton's Idol

Well he did it!  He's through to the next round of Canadian Idol.  Hamilton's 24 year old Brian Melo has now made it to the top 18.  Zach has predicted that Brian will make top 10!

Canadian Idol Season 5!

You know me...addicted to reality tv!

Watch for Hamiltonian Brian Melo on Canadian Idol this season...he made it to the final 22.  So make sure you vote...he's really talented!!

Driving without air conditioning!!

Remember these days ... and if you're living them .. I fell your pain!

I was just telling someone that this summer will be my first summer driving a car with "air conditioning"!  I'm so excited!!  I've had cars in the past with "air" but not "working" air. 

I remember this one time in band camp (kidding = ).... I was driving into Toronto on what must have been the hottest day of the summer -high 30 with humidity 36 - sitting in bumper to bumper traffic with the heat just rising from the black asphalt...no breeze what so ever....my heat turned on high because my thermostat was broken and to avoid my car overheating, I had to turn my car into a mobile sauna!  I remember arriving to my destination, exhausted, drenched, wilted and overheated!

Youth vs Personality on American Idol??!!??

I can not believe it!  My Melinda Doolittle got voted off American Idol last night!  Honestly I'm in shock - I thought she was a brilliant singer! 

Ok so it comes down to Jordin or Blake....hmmmm....

Jordin - Young, fun, great singer a long pop career ahead of her

Blake - Young, fun, talented creative artist

Tough call ... I'm going to go with JORDIN!! 

 

Spring has sprung....

I can't believe how fast the trees have bloomed!  It seems like it happened overnight.  Driving into work heading up the Cenntennial Prkwy hill the trees along the escarpment are just beautiful and I can even find beauty in the danelions!  The centre grass along Mud Street is just covered with bright yellow flower tops!  It really looks like they've been designed to grow that way. 

 Well I'm working hard in my garden at home.  I've planted some bulbs which I can't remember the name of the flower, but on the package the picture of them looked beautiful so I bought them!!  Half the battle around this time of year is all the weeding and the clean up!  Oh well, it's great exercise! 

New Reality Show!

Have you ever wanted to be a part of a reality show - well now here's your chance!! 

Phil Keoghan executive producer and host of the Amazing Race is looking for Canadians to be a part of his new reality show for the CBC called "No Opportunity Wasted". 

The show itself will give people the opportunity to complete a 72-hour, life-changing challenge that involves either conquering a lifelong fear or doing something to benefit others.

If you want to compete in this new reality show then get ready to impress the "host" himself- this is your chance to meet him face to face and convince him that you've got what it takes to be a contestant!

Another Grey Day!

Another rainy cold day to get through!  The good news is the farmers almanac is predicting above normal "hot" tempuratures for mid May!!!  Can't wait!!  The count down in on for June 21st - the first day of summer 2007!!

Warmer weather ..

As the weather seems to be taking a turn for the better lately, I've revisited my goal of starting to tackle one of the four sets of stairs up/down the escarpement in our beautiful city!! 

 It seems to be such a fun way to exercise and I've heard it's meditative ... well we'll see about that when I'm in pain climbing up the stairs!! 

I'll let you know how I make out!
