All in a Day

Today is Sunday. Yesterday was Saturday. And tomorrow is Monday. Now you know!

Yesterday B and I went house hunting again! It was fun. This time we took in 6 houses and by the end I was so tired. I went straight down for a nap as soon as we got home. When I woke up 3 hours later (no exaggeration) B and I hung out for a bit before heading to bed for the night.

Friday (the day before Saturday) B and I hung out with my dad for the evening. It was awesome. We went for pie, but when we got to the restaurant we were all hungry for actual food before our pie so we ordered the half orders and then we all had dessert afterwards and it was AWESOME! I really love my dad and it was so great to hang out with him since he lives so far (Calgary) away. Ok, it's not soo far but it's not local. I envy B a bit for having his family at such a close range sometimes. I love hanging out with B's family too. I've really adopted them as my own which is sweet!

Today (Sunday) after church we went for lunch with B's family and my dad and a couple of friends of ours. It was great! After that we did something.....oh yeah, stopped by my dad's place to pick up the keys and registration papers for my new car so we could go and get it insured. Than we came home and talked to B's best friends and then just got sucked into the world of "do nothing" and that's exactly what we've been doing since. I answered the phone like a million times this afternoon, ok more like a dozen, and every time it was someone interested in buying my Tracker :) This is good. I have a feeling it will be gone this week. Last chance anyone of my friends who want it, it can be yours for $2000.

Well, until next time, hopefully tomorrow (Monday)

TMI

Ok, so you remember me telling you the other day that I was overly emotional and it didn't make sense? Well today I figured out why. When I was trying to wake up my body just wouldn't get up. I would set my alarm for another 15 minutes, only to close my eyes and rudely be awoken by it in what seemed seconds. So I would set my alarm again. I think I reset my alarm 3 times. That's an extra 45 minutes of sleep. When I finally dragged myself out of bed and willed myself to the washroom I found out the reason to why I was so tired. I'm not going into detail, but ladies you know what happened.

This my friends explains the irrational emotional outbursts of the last week. Why I didn't connect the dots sooner I don't know. It happens every month you'd think that I would know this by now. Oh well.

That was probably too much information for a blog update, but there ya have it. B will probably say, "Gross Michelle, you're talking about that on your blog?" And I will delightfully reply "Yes, isn't it great?" and he will say, "You're so weird" in which I'll just stare at him.

I'm excited for this evening, my cousin Lauren and I are going to have a tea party. It's going to be so much fun! I like her a lot!

Until next time

Tuesday at a glance

Hello fellow bloggers. Do you ever have days when you just cry for no reason? Or you hear a song that you've heard a million times before, but someone new sings it and it totally brings on some emotional spill you were not expecting? Well that just happened and for no reason at all. I was not prepared for that. I tell ya, some things should have warnings on them.

Today I woke up and made B's lunch (he was running a little late). As soon as he was out the door I had the urge to clean the shower so that's just what I did. Than I got ready for work and headed off. It was a great shift. The child I was working with today was so cute and the shift flew by. Before I knew it, the time was up and it was time to go home. So I called my other work to see if they needed me, nope was the answer so I headed home.

My friend A and I are going to go for a bike ride or a walk, depending on the rain issue. I enjoy our walks/rides. They are fun and we talk about all kinds of things. I'm excited to see her, I haven't seen her all weekend and that's because I'm a bad friend. On Saturday after our errands of looking at houses I fell asleep for a 'nap'. I quote that because it wasn't as much of a nap as a hibernation. I fell asleep at about 4, woke up at 9 and back in bed by 11. I don't know why I was so tired but my body needed it's sleep (I hadn't slept well on Friday night so that might have been why). So there went Saturday...and on Sunday I have no idea what I did. That day is a total blur. And Monday I forgot was Monday! How is that possible? I don't know. It wasn't until I was about to go to bed that I declared to B "It's Monday?!" and he responded, good job and now it's time for bed. haha. But I was like, "No, it's Monday! I forgot that today is walking day with A". Bad friend award!

Today is a new day (Tuesday) and we are going to get to see each other. So much to catch up on. Yesterday I also got a surprise visit from my friend Sherena. I was able to meet her baby for the first time. He's a little grunter and makes funny noises non-stop. He's so precious! He's so sweet and the baby fever grew stronger. Yikes!!!

After our visit with Sherena, B and I decided to clean up our place. Half way through clean up time I said, "B" and he responded, "you want to change the furniture around don't you". I don't know how he knew so quickly and with just the way I said his name but that was exactly what I was going to ask. So after we did our clean up we changed the furniture around and cleaned up under where they pieces were sitting and made our place a little different. A fresh take on the place. I quite enjoy how it's set up right now. I will have to take a picture and post it next time.

Well that's about all to report so far. Until next time.

Keep it classy

So many thoughts

The big 3-0 is coming up in only 3 and a half months. Can you believe it? I can and can't at the same time. I feel like I'm more than 30 some days when I look back at all that I've done. Yet at the same time I still feel youthful and full of imagination. I relate to Anne of Green Gables in that I can live in my imagination quite comfortably. Though I'm not as dramatic as my bosom friend, I am able to understand her and as a child wished I could be in her world along side her. What would it be like to be one of her classmates. Sitting beside Gilbert or Diana? Oh don't you just drown in the adventure possibilities?

Anyways, another tangent just for you. I hope you enjoyed it. I don't even remember what my original thought of blog update was going to be. I got side tracked because of the thought of me turning 30 this year crept inside and took over. It's a big year. But because I've been telling people I'm 30 for the last 3 years (yes just so it wouldn't come as a shock when it actually happened) it doesn't feel like it's that big of a deal. I would really just like a quiet movie night with some pizza and a few friends. Nothing spectacular. This is how I took in all my teen years. And I quite enjoyed my birthdays then.

I think I was going to finish off our last day of our Mexico trip. Well, actually last 2 days of our trip. The Friday, day 7, was just as much fun. A few of us (B, B's mom, B's brother T and I) headed downtown to set B off to the ocean to do some diving. However, because it was so windy his trip got cancelled. I felt so bad for him because he was really excited to be going. Part of me was a little relieved though because for

some reason I was really anxious of him going diving (I had just seen the movie 'Open Water' before we left and that scared me to the core). But I was mostly sad for him because I knew this was one of the adventures he had gotten so pumped about. So we went shopping for a bit before heading back to the resort. Once we got back to the resort we had lunch and just had a rest for the afternoon. It was so relaxing. That evening we had defined as "date night" so all the couples went to their 'restaurant' of choice. B and I chose the Mexican restaurant. As the host took us to our table we noticed B's brother J and his wife J. Then the host sat us down at the table right next to them. It was funny. After dinner we headed to B's other brother's room and played a card game called 10 phases.

Than we went back to our room for our final night in Mexico. The next morning we got up early and went for breakfast with B's brother T and his wife A/M (depending on how specific you wanna get). Than after breakfast we just kind of walked around and took in Mexico. B and I played in the water a little bit and then headed back to our room to pack. We went for lunch and then headed to the check out area to get ready to depart to the airport.

Once we arrived at the airport we were greeted with all the hopeful new tourists. The unburnt, adventure seeking, still a little high strung people. It was great! We looked so experienced and refreshed, and definitely use to the Mexican timing of things. Just like many hot cultures where they're a little more laid back and not so rushed. And that my friends concludes our Mexico trip.

This picture is one I took on day 7 while waiting to find out what was going to be happening with B's diving trip. This picture is also hanging on my washroom wall because it's calming and refreshing to me. I love it!

Long Weekend

It's Friday, it's Friday! I'm so excited it's Friday (can you hear me singing it?) Yesterday while I was playing Grounders (a tag game on the playground) I would constantly be "it". Especially when the kids who HATE being 'it' got tagged I would make myself very easy to tag. Anyways, I'd be it quite a lot and decided to change things up a little every time I got tagged. I would count to ten in a sing-songy type of way and then say who I was going to try to tag. It was fun especially since half the time my eyes were closed (if you're on the playground equipment your eyes have to be closed, but if you're on the ground you can keep them open. And if you hear someone on the ground and yell out "Grounders" while they're still on the ground they become 'it'. It's a lot of fun.) All that to say that my first sentence being sung reminded me of my day yesterday.

I'm so happy it's Friday. But not only Friday, but the beginning of the LONG weekend! Can I hear a woot woot? I'm really excited for this weekend. B and I are going to be looking at 4 houses tomorrow. We are house looking but in no rush. We just want to see what's out there. I'm excited to see the houses, it's so fun to go into a place an allow your imagination go wild with decorating ideas. I don't know about you, but I love house reno and house finding shows. I'm addicted. This wasn't so before our Mexico trip, but on the plane I got hooked and poor B that's all he seems to hear about lately. His one co-worker warned him about this, telling B of his adventure when he allowed his wife to start dreaming and searching. He warned him that once they start dreaming they almost become obsessed. I wouldn't say obsessed, but I would say deeply taken. I love to dream. I'm a daydreamer always allowing my imagination to just go and I must say it's a lot of fun.

Man I'm a rambler today. So many words, but really no deep and meaningful message. I'm giddy too...that's never a good combo...haha, it's going to be a good day.

Happy long weekend everyone! Enjoy your Friday!

I am still breathing

Here I sit, I have a few ideas about what to talk about. But alas, at the moment my brain draws a blank. It's not because I don't want to update, or even that I lack the material for one, but I have just finished work and my brain is mush. This happens quite often after work because not only do I have to be 5 steps ahead of the children I'm working with, but be 5 steps ahead of myself because what if the idea I've come up with is a flop, than you have to have a back up with the same type of principals to cover and all the supplies for this plan B needs to be prepped and ready to go. Whew...so then it comes to updating my blog and I go, oh no, I know I had an idea but which one was it and is it going to be a flop? So many thoughts that go through this brain I tell you.

Anyways, I can tell you that my friend A and I have been faithful in going for our walks and bike rides. And today being Thursday it's bike riding day. Which is going to be fun. I feel myself lagging though so maybe I will pop my iron pill and hope that helps pick up my energy level. I think I forgot to take it yesterday...oops.

The other day on our walk A decided that she was going to be the dog whisperer and walked up to a barking dog to tell it to stop barking and make it sit and then lay down. It worked. But yesterday when we were on our walk she tried to do the same thing but this time her powers had been unexpectedly turned off. However, the were transferred because I asked the dog to lay down and sure enough he did what I commanded. Who knew you could take someone else's power? I must use it for good and not evil! "I have the Power" (please yell this in your head like Heman because that is how I heard it in mine as I typed it).

Well, there's an update for you. A little weird perhaps but an update none-the-less.

Thanks for stopping by

Cleaning Baby Nelly

Hello, so I took this weekend off from updating my blog. The reason? Detailing my car and getting it ready for selling. Yes I have put up my beloved tracker for sale. Why, you ask? Because it's time to move to a different car. I've had this car since I was in college 10 years ago. I bought it in May 2000 and now it's time for someone else to have it to enjoy. I'm ready for a four door vehicle. Just so much easier when you're letting your friends out of the car. They don't have to wait for you to get out first (especially if you're slow). It's also easier to get things in and out of the car. Anyways, all this to say my car is clean and ready to be sold now.

B put so much work into it over the weekend and we still have one more little tweek to make before I feel comfortable selling it. I just think of some young girl buying it and I don't want this new person to have any trouble with it. B was making fun of me because I cleaned that thing like crazy. For example it took me approximately 10 minutes to clean one vent. I wanted it to shine like new and now I'm afraid of getting into it because I don't want to dirty it. haha. Well people that was our weekend in a nutshell. I will have to finish our Mexico trip updates soon. Until next time, Keep it classy!
