Hoping to hear good news

by

I can’t wait to hear from my nephew to find out how he did this weekend. My nephew and my brother-in-law drove to Brockville, because my nephew was invited to join a Brockville OHL hockey team and if he does join the team and he has a good chance of getting in the NHL. Pretty cool!

My nephew seemed really calm and cool and collected before he left, but I’m sure he had some nerves, even if he wasn’t showing it. I know that he took his lucky susan b anthony dollar with him. I certainly hope that gave him some luck.

They’re apparently back in Toronto now, but they’re staying at friends tonight, I don’t know if they are going to call tonight or if I’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning when they come here for a visit to hear the news. Hopefully it’s good news!

Trying to have a relaxing weekend

by

I was planning on just relaxing this weekend because this past week was extremely busy. We’ve been renovating our living room dining room all this past week, plus I had a few big appointments that made the week stressful. So … I’m due for a relaxing weekend.

So far my weekend hasn’t been all that tranquil. I tried going shopping earlier today and one of the stores that I needed to go to was also having renovations done. They were getting new shelving put in so they were closed … pharmacy shelving from mfried.com it looked like. I guess I’ll have to go and pick up my prescriptions next week instead. I wish I’d known they were closed before I drove all the way out there.

Sunday is definitely going to be a relaxing day. How is your weekend going?

Finishing our renovations

by

We’ve been in renovation mode for a couple of months here at our house. It’s a been quite a while since my husband and I were renovating our home non stop like this. Back when we first bought our house in 2001 we did a lot of renovation – everything from knocking down walls to refinishing floors to painting and doing all kinds of repairs.

Then after about two years of constant renovations I got sick and we just stopped. We weren’t done renovating, not by a long shot, but we stopped … for about three years, then we started again for a few months and then stopped again until just a few months ago.

Now we’re just trying to finish up all the renovations that we started in the past. Finally get the house looking good. We have most of the supplies that we need. I think we just need a little more paint and maybe we might need to buy welding supplies for when we do the upstairs bathroom but otherwise we have everything we need stored in our basement.

I can’t wait until our renovations are done. I’ve literally been waiting 11 years to see how everything is going to turn out.

More than a year and a half since I quit smoking

by

My husband and I both quite smoking about two and a half years ago, but sometime in the last 6 months my husband secretly started smoking again.

Well I say six months but I don’t know exactly when Chris started smoking again because as I said he did it secretly but I know he’s been doing it since at least last December – probably longer. Now I’m really sensitive to all smells, and especially the smell of cigarettes so I can really tell when he’s had a smoke … so I’m just waiting for him to come home after having one of his favorite cohiba cigars or something .. that will fun.

I’m just happy that I haven’t even been tempted to start again. I’m certain I’m quite for good. I can’t wait to make the two year mark!

Taping a Rizzoli & Isles Marathon

by

It’s a rainy weekend and I’m staying indoors getting some things done around the house and catching up on a TV show that I’ve only just become interested in. Superchannel is having a Rizzoli & Isles Marathon this weekend and I’ve managed to DVR all of season 2 or at least by tomorrow I’ll have all of season two DVR’ed.

I didn’t watch the show at all last year or during it’s first season but I’ve been watching it today as I’ve been doing other work and I’m really enjoying it so you can be that I’m going to watch Season three when it starts next week.

I’m also using my DVR to tape three movies tonight. Yeah … I’m taping a lot of stuff. One of them is a scary movie, ones a comedy and the other I can’t remember quite what it is .. something about a cpa raleigh nc in vegas I think … I can’t remember. Hopefully I don’t get too busy and end up not watching all of these shows that I’m taping!
