On Friday night on after dropping the boys off at Croatian School I was stopped by someone and N.K asked me if I had a blog.  Wow, I thought how do you know.  She was doing a search and came across my VERY sarcastic blog on the church opening.  She told me she thought it was funny and wondered why I stopped.  I stopped because I was lazy.

Well N.K. openned up a can of worms and I’M BACK!!!!!

How cool is it that Ante and Niko’s kume have the same Birthday!!!  Happy Birthday to Kuma Ana, Kuma Andrijana and Mandy who are all celebrating their birthdays this weekend!!!!!

We lost a legend in our Croatian Community this week.  Pero Pastuovic picked up our family in 1973 when we came to Oakville by train from Winnipeg.  From what I understand we were just one of the many, Pero was the Oakville welcome wagon.  Whether you needed a ride or help finding a job or filling out paperwork, he was your man.  Just ask Visnja who spent many hours filling out paperwork for the new refugees. 

My deepest sympathies to Marija, Sonja, Visnja, Peter, Mirko and Gregory.  Along with your fond memories of your father we all have our own.  God rest his soul…………

When you have great photo’s you really should share them.  The first pic is from our last seka night, we get together every 3 months to bitch, complain and best of all laugh.  The second pic is from Nika’s confirmation.  Please note and I am not quite sure how it happened that my face looks thinner in the first pic when I was 4.5 months pregnant then in the second pic when I was baby free………

I guess it is never too late to say Congrats.  Congrats to Jozo and Senka on the birth of their son Ilija Mate.  He really is cute as a button.  Mom and baby are doing well.  Senka is one of the reasons I need to blog, she has the next year off and needs something to do while her King is sleeping.

Anger Management
     
When you occasionally have a really bad day,
And you just need to take it out on someone,
Don’t take it out on someone you know,
Take it out on someone you don’t know,
But you know deserves it.
       
I was sitting at my desk when I remembered
A phone call I’d forgotten to make.
     
I found the number and dialed it.
     
A man answered, saying
‘Hello.’
     
I politely said,
‘This is Chris.
Could I please speak with Robyn Carter?’
     
Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear
‘Get the right f***ing number!’
And the phone was slammed down on me.
       
I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so rude.
     
When I tracked down Robyn ’s correct number to call her,
I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.
     
After hanging up with her,
I decided to call the ‘wrong’ number again.
     
When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled
‘You’re an asshole!’
And hung up.
     
I wrote his number down with the word ‘asshole’ next to it,
And put it in my desk drawer.
       
Every couple of weeks,
When I was paying bills or had a really bad day,
I’d call him up and yell,
‘You’re an asshole!’
     
It always cheered me up.
     
When Caller ID was introduced,
I thought my theraputic  ’asshole’
Calling would have to stop.
     
So, I called his number and said,
‘Hi,  this is John Smith from the telephone company.
I’m calling to see if you’re familiar with our Caller ID Program?’
         
He yelled
‘NO!’
And slammed down the phone.
     
I quickly called him back and said,
‘That’s because you’re an asshole!’
And hung up.
     
One day I was at the store,
Getting ready to pull into a parking Spot.
     
Some guy in a black BMW
Cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for.
     
I hit the horn and yelled that I’d been waiting for that spot,
But the idiot ignored me.
     
I noticed a ‘For Sale ‘ sign in his back window,
So I wrote down his number.
     
A couple of days later,
Right after calling the first asshole
(I had   h is number on speed dial,)
I thought that I’d better call the BMW asshole, too.
     
I said,
‘Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?’
       
He said,
‘Yes, it is.’
     
I then asked,
‘Can you tell me where I can see it?’
     
He said,
‘Yes, I live at 34 Oaktree  Blvd , in Fairfax .
It’s a yellow ranch style house and the car’s parked right out in front.’
     
I asked,
‘What’s your name?’
     
He said,
‘My name is Don Hansen,’
         
I asked,
‘When’s  a good time to catch you, Don?’
     
He said,
‘I’m home every evening after five.’
     
I said,
‘Listen, Don, can I tell you something?’
     
He said,
‘Yes?’
     
I said,
‘Don, you’re an asshole!’
     
Then I hung up,
And added his number to my speed dial, too.
       
Now, when I had a problem,
I had two assholes to call.
     
Then I came up with an idea…
     
I called asshole #1.
     
He said,
‘Hello.’
     
I said,
‘You’re an asshole!’
(But I didn’t hang up.)
     
He asked,
‘Are you still there?’
       
I said,
‘Yeah!’
     
He screamed,
‘Stop calling me,’
     
I said,
‘Make me,’
       
He asked,
‘Who are you?’
     
I said,
‘My name is Don Hansen.’
   
He said,
‘Yeah? Where do you live?’
       
I said,
‘Asshole, I live at 34 Oaktree  Blvd , in Fairfax ,
A yellow ranch style home and
I have a black Beamer  parked in front.’
       
He said,
‘I’m coming over right now, Don.
And you had better start saying your prayers.’
       
I said,
‘Yeah, like I’m really scared, asshole,’
and hung up.
     
Then I called Asshole #2.
     
He said,
‘Hello?’
     
I said,
‘Hello, asshole,’
     
He yelled,
‘If I ever find out who you are…’
     
I said,
‘You’ll what?’
     
He exclaimed,
‘I’ll kick your ass,’
     
I answered,
‘Well, asshole, here’s your chance.
I’m coming over right now.’
     
Then I hung up and immediately called the police,
saying that I lived at   34  Oaktree Blvd , in Fairfax ,
and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.
       
Then I called Channel 7 News
about the gang war going down in Oaktree Blvd in Fairfax .
       
I quickly got into my car and headed over to Fairfax .
     
I got there just in time to watch two assholes
beating the crap out of each other
in front of six cop cars, an overhead news helicopter
and surrounded by a news crew.
       
NOW I feel much better.
     
Anger management really does work.

Subject: Fw: Where there’s a will…There’s a Relative

  Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the Family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a
wife with whom to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
 ’I may look like just an ordinary man,’ he said to her, ‘but in
  just a few years, my father will die, and I’ll inherit 20
million dollars.’
 
Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days
  later, she became his stepmother.
 
Women are so much better at estate planning

Since becoming pregnant and feeling the need to go to bed at 9pm every night PVR is my new Best friend.  For anybody who does not know what it is, it is attached to your satellite and tapes any show internally.

The new fall season is starting so PVR comes in very handy.  Has anybody besides me been watching the new 90210, it’s not bad for cheesy TV and God knows I love cheesy TV.

Last night Lipstick Jungle started its second season.  What a great show, not Sex and the City but definitely the closest anyone has come, but not as slutty.

Greys starts tonight, is it me or has the show almost hit its limit.  How many times can ugly Dr Grey break up with Dr McDreamy.  Tonight of course now that they are almost happy, they are goingf to find out that his last girlfriend is pregnant.  They had the worst season finale last year ever!!!

Desperate Housewives starts this Sunday, they are fast forwarding a few years, copying One Tree Hill, another one of my cheesy teenage shows.  Did I mention I have been PVRing (sorry Annie) Gossip Girl.  Maybe Eva Longoria’s character will be more interesting now that she is 20 pounds heavier on the show.

I don’t know who is more irritating and less deserving of attention Eva Longoria or Jennifer Anniston,  I know Mira and Maria are both turning 10 shades of red they both love Jen!!! (at least they used to)

Yesterday I was sitting outside and up pulled Kuma and Pavo and to my delight a Baskin Robbins bag, they give you a big bag when you buy (2) TWO pints of Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ice Cream…..  I need to be careful, on Tuesday I went to sleep looking like the girl that can stand to loose 10 pounds and woke up Wednesday with a cantaloupe in my belly, it literally happened over night.

Right now I am blogging and eating Ice Cream at the same time, what a champ….  Thanks Kuma,  I am set till the end of the week.

I would like to send a huge Shout Out to Marina who celebrated her Birthday on Sunday by going Skydiving for the second time  in a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
