I guess the most exciting thing that's happened in my life is that my husband has graduated from school and is now an official RN. He was able to get a casual position after graduation, but most recently he landed a temporary full-time job, so that's awesome! I'm so proud of him and all that he's accomplished...it's also pretty nice to have a nurse around all the time :)
We have a federal election coming up in the next few weeks, so that brings me to one of my points for writing a new post on my blog. I get so annoyed with all the campaigners putting up their signs everywhere and standing at intersections asking drivers to "honk for" so-and-so. Just the other morning I was biking to work and was going through a very busy 5-way intersection when I heard multiple car horns honking. I thought maybe there was about to be an accident, so I got to the other side as fast as I could. It wasn't until I got across, that I realized the honking was in support of a certain political party. I won't name names because, well, it's irrelevant. Do these campaigners not realize how distracting and dangerous it is to have car drivers honking their horns like that?! I'm all for showing support for your political party of choice, but come on. Show your support by going to the polls and voting, not by honking your horns and being annoying. And those campaigners should be ashamed of themselves for asking drivers to honk their horns like that in the first place. I'm pretty sure that anyone who is planning on voting during this election, will do their own research about all the parties/leaders and come to an educated decision on their own. I know that I don't need a bunch of signs slapped up on every street corner and along the highway to tell me who to vote for.
On a completely different note, I'd like to take this time to promote some of my friends' businesses. During my somewhat brief stint as a Mary Kay consultant I found it very difficult to promote myself and the products I sold. I am; however, pretty good at talking up other people's businesses, so here's a list of my friends and their businesses. Maybe one of these great people is exactly who you're looking for :) Check out their websites for more info.
- Dave Lawrence: That 50s Barbershop
- Lynn Crandon: When the Ink Dries Copywriting
- Cynthia Tomey: Bare Bums Creations
- Cynthia Blank: Consultant with Epicure Selections
- She doesn't have a website, so let me know if you're interested and I'll pass her info on to you
- Danielle Rados: Team Leader with Avon Canada
- Lara Eichhorn: Lara Eichhorn Photography
- Aaron Lutsch: Rhymes With Orange Photography
- Ashleigh Hansen: Ashleigh Hansen Photography

I realize that there are numerous photographers in that list, but they all have their own unique ways of capturing images and they all do amazing work.
If there's anyone that I missed, I'm sorry. I also apologize if the links don't work. I'm not that tech savvy, so you may just have to type them out old school in your browser.
There, that's about all I've got for the moment. I know it wasn't overly exciting, but hey, I'm a little rusty here.
