Attention all Canadian bloggers! Would you like to have a chance to win a $20,000.00 dollar kitchen makeover? I know i would. What would be more wonderful than being able to remodel your whole kitchen? Enter the Dr. Oetker Kitchen Makeover Contest and get that chance plus don't forget to sign up to be a Savoury Moments Member to get a bonus pin to enter the "Make It Like Mama" Giveaway, right away! Register today! There will be 8 secondary winners who will win the following: fridge/freezer, freestanding electric range, dishwasher or microwave, all courtesy of Whirlpool. Plus 2000 instant winners of a Casa di Mama Pizza or a pizza cutter. As the father of 2 children and a wife i really wish i could win this contest because i love to cook meals for my family and we really need our own oven and our fridge always leaks water from behind. We bought the fridge used from the last tenant that lived here for $100 and a month later it started leaking water so we got ripped off on that one. Have you ever tried cooking a whole chicken in a toaster oven? It's no fun, believe me. We use a toaster oven to cook all our foods so this would be a dream kitchen makeover for me and my family. What ever we can't cook in our toaster oven we warm up in our mini microwave which is 3 yrs old. I don't know how many times we've gone food shopping and walked by the freezer section where the frozen pizza's are and passed them up because we can't fit a large pizza for 3 people in our mini microwave or gone to the meat section and passed up most large meats. The oven that was supplied with our apartment does not work. Only the top burners. It would be so nice to be able to cook a home cooked meal for my family in a regular oven. I hope someday i can win something like this.

My employment

Here you can see some pictures of some city buses. This is what i do to bring home the bacon. I'm a mechanic for veolia transportation. They are located on main street in chula vista. I'm reminded of just how fortunate i am to have this job everytime i hear of someone else losing their job or getting laid off. I don't know what i would do without this job because it really helps me to make ends meet for me and my family. I've been employed at this company for 6 years going on 7 in may 2010. We just recieved these new buses a month ago. The company has been eliminating the older (High floor buses) as they get the new red (Low floor buses) ones in. Maybe you have seen or even road on one of the new buses. They are pretty nice and the motors are so much quieter than the old buses. I just finished a 2 day class last week on the electrical computers for these buses. It's pretty technical and the instructor told the class that the systems on these buses are just going to get more complicated and advanced so i want to stay ahead of the technology.

Road call duty

Today when i went into work, my supervisor gave me a new job to do for about 2 weeks until the other mechanic returns from Los Angele's. My company sent two mechanics up to Los Angele's for a couple weeks to work at one of the company's other shop's so i guess I'm replacing one of the guy's who normally does the road calls. My supervisor really had me running all over town today. At least i had the chance to get out of the shop for a while instead of doing the same old boring job. I made it a point not to work hard even though I'm a bus mechanic. One of the guys in the shop told me to do what the other 2 road call mechanics normally do. Do nothing. So that's exactly what i tried to do, nothing. I'm just glad i didn't get a bus with flat tires. That's always tough job to do. That's all for now. Till next time.

LeapFish and Make-a-Wish Foundation Join Forces to Raise $10,000 and Tweet an Ill Child’s Wish True

As a parent and father of two beautiful children, One boy and one girl, I am so fortunate to have healthy children in my life. I thank god, our creator for this wonderful gift all the time. But many parents in this world are not as fortunate as we are to have healthy children. There are many children in this world who suffer from serious, debilitating and life-threatening diseases. I couldn't begin to imagine how i would feel if one of those children where mine. Would you not want to make a big difference in this world for one little girl or boy by making their dreams come true. Take for example a little boy named Jacob, aged 4 who was born with a very rare and life-threatening disease that has affected him since birth. His only wish in life is to go to Disney land. To make this boy's dream come true the Make-a-Wish foundation has teamed up with Leapfish to raise $10,000.00 dollars. LeapFish is sponsoring the tweet-a-cause and Make-a-Wish campaign. Leapfish will donate 5 cents per tweet to the Make-a-Wish foundation until $10,000.00 has been raised so the child and family can go do Disneyland. What a great way to show you care. Leapfish will match each tweet with 5 cents until the goal has been reached. Tweeting is so easy and simple to do and by doing this we can all show how much we care by making some ill child's dreams come true.
