Back in the saddle...

Holy heck it's been days. Shame on me. Where've I been? Well a busy 3 days has passed, and time spent with family and friends. And food. Oh.so.much.food. Let me try to recap...

Friday turned out to be a glorious sunny day...however, by the time Chris and I got loaded up into the car to enjoy it, cameras in hand, it had clouded over...sooo, we stopped for a coffee and a bagel (the food intake begins), then drove around for the afternoon, seeking out 'for sale' signs on homes that looked to be in our budget. Friday night we joined Krissy & Marco for supper to celebrate Marco's birthday. We originally landed at the Gahan...who wouldn't take a reservation for Krissy when she'd called. Fed up after two attempts to get in there for nachos, we ended up giving our business to Mike's. More food...and beer ensued and our night was wrapped up with a rather competitive paper airplane competition on Queen St.

Saturday the better part of the morning & early afternoon hours were consumed by avid Dexter-watching, which left little time left to do much more that day other than a few errands and then onward to the Masons' for Jared's birthday party. We had a great time, and pretty near closed the place down! Happy Birthday Jared!

Sunday Chris & both went into a full-on cleaning frenzy rather than accept the pull of our Dexter addiction. By noon, the house was spic and span, and a load of laundry was in the dryer (that virtually NEVER happens in that span of time or hour of the day, so I truly feel it worth mentioning, and better yet, celebrating!). Tanya came 'round and I helped her with a gift for a bridal shower (and yes, truth be told the entire reason for the cleaning frenzy was the fact that Tanya was going to be coming over). Thereafter the choice was between watching more Dexter or going out to a few Open Houses...Dexter won out, mostly on account of the crappy weather. A delicious turkey supper with all the trimmings at the W homestead completed a lazy Sunday for us.

I'm working the late shift this week, so that should prove boring for the week of posts...but at least you've been forewarned.
