TGI*finally*F!

Good morning,

Last night's trip to Gahan with the girlies was a *hoot*! We got caught up on each other's lives, including Pam's engagement ring (gooooorgeous!), and Erin's ultrasound picture (eeek!!!! so exciting!!). The nachos were delish (by 7:30-8:00 I was finally hungry again) - and kudos to our waiter for working with the kitchen staff to have our chicken cooked inside the nachos rather than sprinkled on the top. Erin looks completely adorable as a mummy-to-be, and I can't stop smiling for her...she waited so long for this and it's finally here! We ended the night with a big 'ol belly laugh...that was so good it ended in tears. (Remember girls, just pull them apart, and go!). Fun times!

So being out last night I did miss my Thursday TV; I taped the shows, of course. I did, however, get home in time to catch Greys. I *heart* Greys. I really, really do.

Weekend plans are a little up in the air as yet...tonight I'm going to stay in and get some laundry done and prep for work at BR tomorrow. Apparently this weekend marks "National Card Making Day" so I have to prepare supplies for a card to make. I work only 12-4 so it'll be pretty easy I suspect. But it is my first shift there so still a little nervous...since I don't have a lot of product knowledge. Lisa is supposed to stop in with her own card to make so we'll see how it goes. From there, I'm hoping to relax and rejuvenate (whilst watching taped TV, of course!). Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be working on a list of "things that I'm thankful for" to mark the occasion...so watch for that in post.

ho-hum

Turkey dinner...

....so...full.....so...tired.....*yawn*.

Pants feel worse than they did this morning...

I've learned something new today - apparently pumpkin pie gives me horrific heartburn. Oh dear.

Wow...

...to have a love like that....

Thank ye internal alarm

My pants are tight this morning. I usually air-dry them...but someone dried them. I really don't want to make an issue of it, because I truly adore and appreciate the help that someone gives me from a time-to-time basis...Maybe the feeling of fluffy discomfort will force me to eat healthy today (umm...staff "Thanksgiving" day...turkey dinner for lunch, with alllll the trimmings. I really didn't think too long about this, now did I?). I rose to greet the day this morning with my internal alarm clock to thank...having set the alarm for the PM hours, not AM. Whoops! I'm shocked I didn't sleep in.

So tonight I'm heading out for nachos with the girlies to celebrate Tanya's birthday. So fun. Can't wait. I'll have to tape the Thursday TV tonight. So no updates tomorrow re: my favourite shows. I know you're disappointed. So sorry.

I really should have worn my eating pants today.

EWW!

Happy Birthday Tanya!

So someone please tell me....why is it that there are hornets/wasps flying around with as much regularity lately as houseflies? And they're HUGE. *shudder*. I despise bugs. I despise stinging/biting bugs even more. I feel things crawling on me now.

The week has started up slowly. After an exhausting work day yesterday I came home and took my usual stance in front of the TV. We dined `a la $5 pizza Monday from PD from supper...after which I napped until Dragons Den came on. It was the season premiere. What a great show! And to think that I criticized Chris for watching a show on "CBC" and almost didn't watch it last season. For anyone in my readership who hasn't seen a show of Dragons Den, trust the tv junkie and give it a look...you won't be disappointed.

Happy Birthday Tanya!!!!!!!! Now, if we could only compromise on a time to get together with you to celebrate. The gorgeous gal in the photo is a pic of Tanya at Julie's wedding. :) She'll love me for posting it.

Happy Monday

Happy October. Where'd August go, anyway??

I had to scrape my windows today. Must've been quite a sight, I dare say...scraper in hand and sandals on my feet. I'm just not ready to put the sandies away just yet.

So, a weekend update for you:
-Friday night I met with Angela after work to go out for supper. We went to BP, and it was, per usual, a tasty treat. Thereafter we headed over to Buy-Rite to purchase a few needed scrapping items, and I picked up some supplies to work on another class page, and then onward to her house to get crafty. I was pretty tired, but managed to bang out a pretty good layout, if I do say so myself. It's a 'heritage' theme, and I think I will use it for my next class. There are some pretty cool distressing techniques that can be taught.
-Saturday, Chris & I got up early to have a bit of time together...which, lately, is a rareity. We went to Timothys for a breakfast bagel and coffee. Oh so so good. Their new locale is really nice, too. From there, we headed over to the Humane Society and visited the dogs and cats. Oh how I could have walked out of there with a few more cats. But I didn't. From there, we booted back home so I could pick up my stuff and head to Scrap-Rite for the crop. It was a pretty lax crop, creativity-wise, only completing 3 pages. Oh well, it was fun, nonetheless.
-Sunday I managed to sleep in, then got up to get ready to join Amber & Kim at P&Ws for an early supper. It was lovely seeing you, ladies!! Afterwards I got a few loads of laundry done, and settled in to watch my taped tv from the week earlier.
-I still have that lump on my neck. It's sore to the touch...like a ginormous pimple or bite...very annoying. I know I'm not supposed to google medical stuff...it just isn't a good idea...but one thing I did find was it could be an infection of some kind...and should clear in a few weeks. There is a bug going around, and I've been having bouts of not 'feeling myself', so I'm hopeful that's all it is.

Now we're embarking upon a new week. The weekend went by in such a blur I need another day to recover. Unfortunately, I don't get one. Happy Monday, everyone.
