Anniversary Weekend

This coming Monday will be our 2 year wedding anniversary. We didn't have anything planned except go to dinner but then we were talking about an Ice Cider place we went to a few years back down in Hemmingford and we decided to go check it out again. So tomorrow we are spending the day checking out this cider place as well as apple picking at Petch Orchards and trying some honey and mead here.

On the way to those places we will probably stop by at other cider places and maybe some cheese places. We are pretty much just going with the flow. I hope it will be fun :). The weather doesn't look good though so if it continues to rain we wont be apple picking because we really do not want to do it in the rain and then get back in the car for a couple of hours all wet. But we'll see, maybe the weather will change, at least for a bit ;).

Other than that we don't have anything else planned, we hope our favorite Indian restaurant opens on the Monday so we can get some take out. We might go to Ikea to get a computer desk but that isn't for sure yet. Our desk is old, we found it in the lobby of our first apartment building and has lasted for a long time but it's time to say goodbye to it lol.

I think I might be coming down with a cold. The weather here has been odd, it gets hot and then cold and today it's raining a lot. My sinus's are going crazy, lets hope i'm not sick tomorrow!

Cat bellies and Indiana Jones

Today is Canada Day. What does that involve at my place? Relaxing, BBQing and beer. Maybe some wine, but mostly beer.

I have my youngest brother up for a few days. We took him to the Indiana Jones exhibit at the Montreal Science Centre, and it was amazing! I totally geeked out. I loved seeing the actual props and some actual archaeological finds. The only thing that bugged me was that we were not allowed to take pictures :(, and there were a lot of kids :P. But I would soooo go back, just because! They even had Indy hats for sale, I would have gotten one (and yes I would have worn it) but they were too small. The adult sizes were kids sizes. Or maybe I have some kind of freak giant head.......hmmmmmm. I did get a book though :)

Besides all that I got a hair cut. My hair is now really short, at least the shortest it has ever been on me. I'm still getting used to it, styling it is a little harder but I think in a few more days I will be more at ease with it.

I saw my mom on Wednesday and she has a task for me....I have to paint some things for her. I hate painting. I haven't painted in years. I remember my mom sending me to classes and I quit after a few weeks. She was not pleased. So I guess I will be hitting up google to look for instructions on how to paint flowers :P

So here are some pictures of my hairs, my book (teehee) and some shots of my cats bellies....cause they are so damn cute:

The long weekend

Today is the last day of the long weekend, and it has been a very good weekend! Saturday morning I picked up my brother and we headed to moms. Marc and I spent the night, it was great to see my mom and brothers :). Then we headed to see Marcs family on Sunday, because our niece was up!! It was so good to see her, I could hold her and play with her all day. She is absolutely adorable!

We were worried we wouldn't really get a chance to see her and spend some one on one time with her as some family members were coming over but we left my moms early and we had a couple of hours with her. Marc was able to read to her and give her a toy he got her to go with the book (paper bag princess). I am sad we are not able to see more of her for awhile but the few hours we had was really nice. Also seeing that she recognized us from Skype was a nice surprise :) Marc had a lot of fun with her, he even fed her some little tomato pieces. We both look forward to seeing her again!

Today (Monday) we are spending the day being lazy, we are BBQing our first steaks of the summer and watching some Boston Legal.

Nothing else has really happened the last few weeks, it has been quiet (I like it that way). It has been getting hot and humid though. I did give the dehumidifer a test today: Last summer I would do my hair (either curl it or straighten it) and not 5 minutes later it would be a ball of frizz because of the humidity, so I figured today I would see if I could straighten my hair and not sweat and have it frizz. Well, it stayed straight! It was hot in the room, the dehumidifer puts heat out but I can handle that. So we will see when it gets really humid to give it a good test but I think it will work. I miss having an air conditioner but I am not willing to pay for a portable one and we can't have one hanging out the window over cars (totally makes sense, and one of those cars is ours).

This week I will be heading out with a folder of my resumes looking for that summer job. I am not going to be too picky about where I work, it's just to get a little extra cash. I will also go shopping, yes that makes sense!! My mom gave me some spending money and there is a maxi dress I want to try out. Thanks mommy!!

Saturday Ramblings

The long weekend is going good so far. Yesterday we went to visit the husbands family and have an early Easter lunch. The food as usual was yummy! Today Marc and my youngest brother went shopping for a bit and I stayed home. I'm still fighting an infection so I've been low energy and snappy. Not fun. It's making working out difficult.

Marc came home,after running off to get a blank CD, with a card for a restaurant in our town. Apparently Marcos is now open (they had a fire a year ago or so) but they do not have any flyers/take home menus. If you're going to open your doors you might want to be a little more prepared. Anyways Marc went in and he said the owner seemed so happy that someone came in. If I were there I probably would have stayed to eat because I would feel bad for them. They do make good food and we did miss them so we're glad they are open. Marc asked if they still made cheeseburgers and the owner said they are better than before. I think this coming week we might have to place an order to take home :)

The husband has been really sweet the last few days, it's odd but I like it. He bought me a plant this week, some kind of lilly plant that will not survive because I am the plant killer, and today he came home with a gift box (shiny happy people) from Lush (if you have not checked them out do eet!!!), it contained: Happy Hippy Shower Gel, Sandstone Soap and Up You Gets Emotibomb. They all smell soooo good! He also got me whole bunch of Lindor chocolate (including their chocolate easter bunny :).

The weather is finally warming up out here (If it could stay away from the 30+ I would be a happy girl) and I went out bare legged yesterday. It was bliss! I need to stick on more self tanner though, I am a ghost! I am also out of almost all my makeup so I now have to make an expensive trip to the store. They all decide to die at the same time...buggers.



P.S. There may be a lot of spelling mistakes, I am on a very slow computer that takes forever to display what I am typing and delets letters here and there. I apologize for it.

Roast Chicken. Red wine. Cider. Cuddles.

All those things make a great Sunday. I hate Sundays, there is no real reason. I just hate the buggers. It is a day where nothing happens except the dread of a new work week :P. BUT has been pretty darn good. We went grocery shopping early in the day (so much better waking up early to go and not having to deal with mothers and kids who tend to think they own the store). Then we came home and just cuddled forever in bed. It was awesome and very relaxing.

Then we got up, had some chili and I settled down with a movie and some red wine while Marc worked on a project making the big monies. I just put the chicken in and there is once again the smell of homemade bread a baking. YUMMY! I love fall, makes me actually want to cook meals...healthy and yummy meals too!

I should really be going over some things for my test tomorrow....but I'm not :P. I will most likely regret it buuuuuuutttttt.......I have wine now so it's A-OK.
