Tuesday & Tid Bits

Another day with an early start, but a good start!!

Today I got caught up on Parenthood - seriously, this show is soo relatable and literally makes me cry every show!! Maybe I am an emotional mess and just hate to see people go through things, but emotions seem soo real on the show!

Watched Teen Mom - why!? Why do I watch this? Anyone have a logical answer for why I torture myself with this!?

Did some more shopping on the phone with my sister. Last night she bought M a Christmas gift for me and 5 packages of burlap for $1!!! She also bought me some wood letters! The Wal-Mart where she lives is closing and is having a sale!!

Then tonight she found me fabric - fat quarters for $1!! Score!!

Today I ordered myself some Dairy Queen blizzard cupcakes!! Bring on Friday!!

Brandon also wanted to share his shirt on my blog:

 

In case you can`t read the writing around the lightening bolt, but it says ``My Auntie is Awesome``.

A Weekend of Shopping

Remember Friday when I said I had bought a new coat, vest, shirt, etc. And then how I had heard about Go Jane?  I couldn't help but to buy some boots. Yes, some as in TWO pairs!!

 

 

I couldn't beat the prices here in Canada!! Soo bring on the shipping!!!

 

I am now just about ready for winter!!

 

My blanket is just about finished!!!

 

Friends of ours had their baby on Friday, we managed to meet the new little guy yesterday.

 

Greyson!

 

I purchased some rolo ice cream, only to sit down and enjoy the caramel goodness and it was the peanut butter one... let down!

 

As nice as our weather was this weekend, heck even this morning, but it is quickly turning! It is raining and the temp is dropping rapidly!!

 

Now that November 11 has past I am now looking forward to Christmas!!

Free For All Friday

Yup, another random post for you all!!

- I am loving my new iPhone back ground!!!

- I am also loving that it is supposed to warmish on the weekend here!! After reading everyone's posts about the snow, it might be a good time to get the yard finished for the winter clean up!! The patio furniture is away, but the dogs got a new pool and it is still out and I need to cut back my grasses and what not still! Oh and M might as well cut the grass for the last time!

- I am also loving the new site Alison told me about: Go Jane!! I love sales and they have cheap boots!! Score!! I may just need to order me some!!

- But I might have to wait because M might take away my credit card after he sees the shopping I have done... I may have purchased a new winter coat, a new vest, a new shirt. But little does he know I also snuck in a new sweat shirt for him and depending on his reaction, I may wait to give it to him for Christmas!!

- I swear I have been on the phone all morning today at work and have gotten no where with stupid tech support. Although with the last call we discovered another problem? I don't think that counts as progress!!

- Hmmm what else have I got?

- Oh I probably shouldn't even post about this, but I am totally going to... I am pretty sure my family should be banned off of facebook... one post made by a cousin turned into soo much more... I would like for this to be the end of the topic, but we all know it won't be and that conversations regarding how much this was all blown out of proportion will now exist at all family get togethers. I am still laughing about how dramatic this has been.

- I pray for strength, patience, positives for the upcoming days/weeks.

So What!?

Because this is how my week is going...

So what if:

- I am kind of over this whole American election - bring back my TV shows already!! Not all of us are American you know!?

- I decided to play Dr. Mario with my sister via the Wii wifi and she kicked my ass, not once, but 10 times!! I was clearly off my game and did not win once!!

- I went to get blood work done to check on my thyroid and I am soo awesome I got 2 needles instead of one! She put it in my left arm and nothing came out at all!! Not a drop!! Luckily the right arm co-operated! Luckily my levels are much more appropriate!!

- I feel offended seeing Christmas decor up already!! Wait until after Remembrance Day! Show some respect!!

- a squirrel got hit by the car in front of me and then rolled under my tire making me hit it as well! I am sure I put it out of it's misery... but it just makes me sad!

- I am the worst Mom EVER!! I thought I would make the dogs days, I went out and bought new nail clippers and decided to give the dogs mani's/pedi's. I cut not ONE but TWO of Gracie's nails too short and they bled! Bled like crazy - almost unstoppable! Poor girl! I am surprised she trusted me around her feet to make them stop! Then I thought I had it stopped for good, until she licked the baby powder off!! What a mess!! Then M bathed her and the one opened back up again! Not cool! I think it will be a while before I cut her toe nails again!

- I actually had to scrap the ice off my car for the first time this season! I could have sat in the car and waited for the defrost to do it, but I was cold!

- I saw my neighbour cleaning her window this morning and she was wearing a white one piece suit and goggles. It was like a science project happening in front of my eyes!!

- I had to miss out on Zumba last night and could hear the music and just knew what I was missing out on... it was kind of depressing!

- I was driving to work this morning and had thought up a bunch of so what topics and now forget them! UGH!!

- I cannot even see the wood of my desk because it is covered in paper - work I should be doing - work I am going to do now!!

Have a good day!!
