I can't stop talking about the "butter hugger"!!

Hey!

While out at the Hospital for Sick Children J and I bought something called a butter hugger. 

What is a butter hugger?

Thanks for asking!!! It is a device designed to help you butter your corn-on-the-cob with ease...no more wasted butter!! It has salt and pepper shakers built in! It is quite a cool thingy and bright yellow to boot! When you look at the picture the first shot shows you the S&P part of it, the second shot is the top view and the third photo shows you where to put your butter!

We were on our way to get money for parking when J spotted the tupperware kisok so we all stopped and looked... J was looking with purpose and O and I were just looking. While We were hanging out and J kept pointing out the different containers which were getting more exciting by the find, I spotted it. The butter hugger! It was quite captivating and so I pointed it out to J who also find it entertaining and picked one up.

I continued to talk about the butter hugger for awhile. I updated my facebook status about it. J and I were having talking about all the ways the butter hugger could be great. J was ready to check out and by this time I was convinced I needed a  butter hugger too.

We got to the lady and she told us that one of our butter huggers was free!!! How exciting!!!

We got the free butter hugger beacause we could not stop talking about it and people were coming over and looking at them.

I made a spilt second decision and picked up the rest of them! There were only four so it wasn't that crazy. 

Ever since then...I cannot stop talking about them! How great they are, why I need three, and how can I get the most out of my butter hugger.

I am so in love with my butter huggers that I am having corn-on-the-cob with thanksgiving dinner. People will be forced to say: "Pass the butter hugger please".

I'm so happy!! I think its sad that kitchen equipment makes me this happy.

AND just saying butter hugger makes me happy... I want to see if I can buy them in bulk to give away as gifts. 

I am convinced that a butter hugger is something that everyone, everyone, everyone needs!!

I hope the tupperware lady has more next week!!! :)

x-rays

Yesterday I went to day 7 of the coolest job. I support a boy with special needs and together we explore the city, meet new people and learn new things.
He teaches me so much, I am constantly learning new things. We shall call him O.

I met O and his mom J on the Danforth and found out that O had a doctors appt nearby. After the appt we all went for a x-ray across the way.

So we all troop in to the x-ray office and J and O head on their way with the tech. I get called 5 mins later. Long story short, Taking an x-ray was not as easy as it usually is. J and I had to support O as the tech make sure we were all in the right postion for the picture and no one could move. Needless to say it was quite a laugh...

O does not walk and cannot support himself, so to get a front x-ray of his chest J had to prop him up on her knee and I had to hold his arm out to the side and all three of us had to "hold still".
For the side shot J had to use her knee to support his body and head and I had to raise O's arms up and out of the way, making sure J and my arm's were not in the shot.

I giggled. alot.
Giggling is my defense mechanism when I don't know what to do.
If a situation is tense or unknown to me...I giggle. Its what I've done my whole life, in the most unfunny situations.

The whole time we are trying to make this work the tech is trying to get it done quick as if it would make it easier...it didn't. but she was quite nice

I know this is not as funny to you as it was to me...but I needed to blog about it....
