Planning...for once it worked out.

I don't like to plan dinners or parties that involve a lot of people. From past experience it never worked out, people would complain about the place or how it was being planned, etc. Yesterday though I decided that I was going to take my mom out to dinner on mothers day and that my two brothers would be there. By 8pm I had the dinner booked, the brothers confirmed and mom confirmed.

When talking to one of my brothers he suggested maybe going to Gibbys. I heard good things about them but I was sure it would be expensive and I was right. From what I read (they didn't post their prices on the online menu...that tells you something) for 3 people it would cost almost 200$....WHAT? Sorry but I am not rolling around in money. So I spent awhile stressing about where to book and I settled on a restaurant that we have all been too before. The food is good and the prices are good. I confirmed with my brother that this is where we will take her. Then the hard part came: Getting my mom to go :P

I knew that if I didn't book the table before I called my mom would talk me out of taking her out. So I called her after booking and of course she said "O no don't do that" to which I replied "Too late the table is booked" She still tried to weasel her way out but I said no we are taking you out, we want too. It has been a hard year, with daddy passing, and I think taking her out will be nice. She wont have to cook, clean or worrying about anything. And dammit this mothers day she's getting out of the house :)

The weekend after we will be taking Marcs mom out to breakfast, we hope his dad will be up to going too. He's been sick and can't really be around people so we're not sure if his mom will want to leave. We shall see.

We are also finding out today if we can actually go to Winnipeg. If we don't have travel insurance (and costs to much to get it) we aren't going. I don't want to lose over 400$.

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.
