Got caught with no pants on.....again!

Freg.  It only happens to me!

I just got caught in my tshirt and undies by a neighbour, AGAIN!  The patio door is where everyone comes in, since we're in a townhouse community, and my (male, of course!) neighbour knocks on my door while I'm in the kitchen, wearing a tshirt and underwear.  And, of course, from the patio door, you can see pretty much inside the whole first floor, so I can't even run and hide, they'd see me (and my booty shorts) anyways.  Thankfully, he's an older gentleman and had kids of his own, if it wasn't that obvious, I would have said he didn't notice!

I need to start wearing pants!!

Wedding cake plans

Good day, readers.



Still sick. Not fun. Especially since it's (TMI WARNING) babymaking week. The timing sucks this month, with me being sick and Daddy working schedule. It's frustrating since there's 5 or 6 days in a month that are best. And if you can't make it work that week, you have to wait another month. It's frustrating. And doing it all the time, like so many of my friends suggest, obviously don't have kids or don't have a husband with the same working schedule.  But like my friend Krystal says: "you only have to pretend you're enjoying it!".  LOL!

Anyways.

I'm just glad we're going away just the 2 of us this weekend. Good Lord, we need it! It's been a crazy week. BUT, I have 2 good news:


We're getting a new used dishwasher from my mom, ours is not at it's best. There's always a few dishes that are still dirty after every wash. I'm glad, that saves us like 500$!


AND


My mom chose her wedding cake! Here's what I'm making for her:

I was excited to make a tiered cake for her wedding, but since there won't be more than 50 guests, it'll be a simple cake. Although, I'll have to practice the flowers, I've never made them before.  It should be interesting!

Alright, gotta get to work! xox

Sniffle..

oh daaaaarn.  I'm stuffed up.

Woke up with a sore throat, hoped it was nothing, but it's official.  I have a cold :(

I'm bitchy on Mondays

Ahhh, there goes the weekend. It's already gone, pooh!  I feel like complaining this morning :P


Why do they go by so fast? We barely have time to enjoy it! Man, I need vacations.


Speaking of, we have a special weekend planned. Daddy's turning 30! on Sunday and I'm bringing him on a romantic getaway!! No kids, no in-laws, just us, champagne, a hotel suite and a good time! The package includes a 4 course dinner, one night in the romantic suite, champagne and chocolates, and a nice breakfast in the morning. Oh man, will that be fun! We leave Baby with my mom on Friday afternoon and come back Saturday probably after dinner. It'll be a major effort for me to not feel guilty about leaving Baby. I don't know why, but lately the guilt creeps up on me quite quickly.

Baby has discovered he has a belly button. Was quite funny to watch him lift his shirt and play with it. He also understands everyone has one. And he wants to see it, he comes and lifts our shirts too! Manners, my boy! Haha! It's super cute, actually. He's starting to understand more and more things, which to us is just amazing. I'm in awe of him, everyday.

Poopy supervisor is back from his 3 weeks vacation. Ugh, I was so happy without him. Maybe I have authority issues. Maybe I just don't like him. I vote second option. Ok, he's not so bad, it's just that I don't like workign for him. He's not a bad person. But as my boss, meh. I kinda have to go say hi this morning. I'm trying to gather up some willingness. Go me, go…

I'm also having bad dreams lately. I dreams that my friends all hate me, that they have things against me. It's disturbing. I wake up all sad, wanting to call them to really check if they're mad at me. What does it mean? I don't like it!

Allllriiiiiight. Gotta get to work. Happy Monday, Happy Thoughts, Smiiiiiiiiiiiiile. :S

Oumphless

I'm bored and tired today.  Feeling blahhhhhh.
Baby isn't sleeping much and it's too hot and humid outside.  We went to the park this morning and we were both super sweaty and yucky.  I took my shower and now I'm nice and cool in the AC.

I could go for a drive with him though.  Agh, I feel lazy, I'm not having a good mom day.  And I look too much like crap to go out in public.  Hahah, you know, feels like a kind of a day when you have your period!

I did make a good green buy though, got some new eco-friendly soft sole Robeez for Baby.  Huh, kinda makes me feel better right now!  :P

Alright, I'll go for a drive I think, it'll pass the time t'ill Daddy comes home from work.  Kid's rattling the stand up lamp, he's getting bored...time to go! :)

Full of granola bars!

aaahhh, Baby's so damn cute!

We bought a big box of granola bars we keep in the pantry.  It's darn big, so it's on the floor and obviously opened.  And Baby just loved to stack things, fill in and out, turn pages, get my drift?

I was just picking up the mess he made in the pantry and I found a bunch of granola bars in the cereal box and another bunch in the box of crackers.  Soooo cute!

I'm back! I wasn't gone too far, don't worry

Alright, back to blogging!

This week was a bit crazy, tight deadlines, everyone on vacation, people passing the ball around in the office…but it's done and I did a perty good job, if I say so myself! My supervisor is on holidays and I'm by myself to get things done. Thank goodness the job is not new to me. My manager came to see me this morning tho let me know I did a good job and he appreciates it. Brownie Points!! :)

Lots of exciting things going on lately. My mom's wedding, baby making, bike trip with my friend. Looking forward to aaalll of that! Look at the B&B we're going on the bike trip: http://www.millefeuille.ca/en/index.html It's so lovley, and not expensive! We're getting a King bed and therapeutic bath in the room, woot woot! It's coming up in 3 weeks, so we're getting our bikes a tune up, learning how to change a flat and training a bit because we're doing 100Km in 2 days!

Mom is also going to choose her wedding cake soon. She'll come over and we'll look into it together. I'll post a pic of what she's going to choose. I hope it's not too simple. It'll be a very small and simple wedding, but I don't want her to pick stuff that's too plain. I *hope* her dress will not be too blah. She's getting married in a cocktail kinda dress. Boooo. I can't wait to organize my wedding. It won't be fancy, but it'll be nice and not plain. At least, if I can afford it :)

I'm filling out my paperwork in case I become incapacitated. It's not too bad, 8 pages I think. I'll also fill out a common-law contract to protect us during the period before we get married. Since we have a child and we're not married, nor do we have a will, it could get ugly and complicated if one of us was to pass.

On a happier note, I gotta get to work! Hahah!



Note to readers: What's up Link, miss ya on the farm! Lucky, feel better!!! Dolly, maybe I'll bump into you and little girly at work today! M.P, yooooo :) Haven't seen you in a while, did you sell the townhouse yet? And a high five to everyone else who's reading this! xox

What a weekend!

First of all, what a Monday!  It's 12:41 and just starting my short lunch break!  Busy, busy..

Daddy and I had a really great weekend!  I spent the day with a good friend of mine, who now lives in Montréal.  She came down for the weekend and we went to the beach with Baby.  It was a great day!   Warm and super windy, it was perfect.  Baby spent a lot of time in the waves, bobbing in and out of the water, trying his hardest to swim.  I really got to get him in a swimming class!  For non-canadian readers, when I say beach, I mean my city's marina.  It's a lake, not the sea.  The water's brown, not blue.  But it's our beach :)

After the beach, we spent the evening at a friend's place to celebrate his 30th birthday.  It was awesome!  All our good friends were there and we had a lot of fun.  Ate some good darn food and had some good darn drinks!  I gotta say thank you to Daddy, who took was the DD and the DB (designated babysitter), since I was drinking.  What a man!  Birthday Boy's wife hired a clown to come entertain us for a little while, we missed it, but saw the pics and had a good laugh about it!  The kids were happy, and Bday Boy was just happy as a clam... :)

Baby spent half of Sunday sleeping, from getting to bed super late the night before.  We spent the evening at a last minute family BBQ on Daddy's side.  It was ok.  Left earlier :)  Had a chocking scare with Baby in the car, left us shaken.  Turns out he bit a stress ball and was gagging on the huge piece in his mouth.  New car rule: no more objects in his hands while we are driving.  We are lucky he was only gagging and heard him.  Even with a backseat mirror, we can't watch him every second.  I had a bad night's sleep and lots of nightmares about it.  Very tired today.

But anywho, all is well.  I am planning a biking weekend away with my Montréal friend this August.  Very exciting!  In the meantime, working on getting pregnant, woopi! 

Gotta holla to my buddies Dolly and M, had a great night Saturday, ladies!  Maybe K will pick up on blog reading too :)  Love ya!! xoxoxox

TGI to the F!

Busy week!  I like it!  I'm exausted and I'm missing a friend's house warming party tonight.  But I had a good week.  Feeling more and more confident in my job, which is great!  Maybe having a student in our group helps me to not feel like the team kid anymore.

Spent an HOUR on the phone with a client today.  She yapped away and I couldn'T get a word in.  Only the last 5 minutes were productive.  Either she didn't understand and it took her a while to talk it out and get it, or she's just crazy.  I think she's crazy.  It's always like that with her.  Save the Lord I have a manager that is supportive, if ever she gets to be too much.

Home alone all night, Daddy us working the evening shift. Yay and pooh.  Yay I get to have free time alone after Baby gets to bed, pooh for having to take care of him by myself and missing my friends' get together.  Sigh.  Such is life when little people rule your world.

Baby had an wonderful week at daycare.  They LOVE him, hurray!!  He's really happy there, Amen!  He's walking more and more, he's very independent and a really good baby lately.  Barely fusses!  Gotta enjoy it while it lasts :)

Alright, lots of work in the hour ahead.

Good night, invisble friends.  Party for me tonight!! xox

BP oil leak stopped....for now

It's not celebration time yet, but it's a step in the right direction.  It's a positive move.  Let's pray to God that it gets better from here on.  This is the most dramatic disaster of all times.  I really hope that we can clean it up.

To be continued...

Yes, dinner was that good!!

I wanted to make him comfy so I draped him in his daddy's t-shirt that was cluttering a kitchen chair :)

P.S. Speck on his cheek is not a Marilyn Monroe..it's food 

Ah, Mondays...

Don't you just love 'em?....

We had an amazing weekend!  Ran some errands Saturday, Walmart, of course.  Saw a girl, about 10 years younger than me (ok, maybe 6 or 7) pushing a double stroller with tiny twins and pulling a cart with her other hand.  I was with Baby, and as I assume all moms have a secret club relationship, I stuck up a conversation with her.  Well, I tried.  She didn't seem too keen to talk.  Then I remembered what it was like the first few months with Baby.  Everywhere I went people talked to me and wanted to touch him and be our friend.  Yeah, freggin annoying!  So that girl, with twins!  I bet that happened ALL the time with her and she was probably fed up answering the same questions and talking to everyone.  I wanted to tell her about my twin and just baby talk, you know?  But she wasn't interested in me at all....ouch.  But I understood.  Sniff..

Sunday we went to the cottage to join my mom.  It was a blast!!  Good food, amazing weather, a swim in the lake, a beer in the gazebo...what a life!   We bought a floating vest for Baby so he could be a little more independant swimming in the lake.  Well did he ever!!  He was running into the water, not caring about how deep it was getting.  No fear!  He was so excited, even if he bobbed around in his floating jacket and swallowed a LOT of water, he was having wayyy much fun!  Pics to come.

Argh, Monday...I so despise you.  You always wake us up tired and make our first day of work suck.  Pooh!  So you think I'd get fired if I take a nap in my office?....hahaha!!

Have a good week, invisible friends! xox

How hot is it in Ottawa?

Beef of the Day

Why, oh why, is it always TOO cold in movie theatres?!

I'm thinking, ok, maybe they don't want people falling asleep, but yo, do you really need to make us shiver!  Crap, it was a relief to step outside in the 40 degree humidity!

Sigh....

We went to see the remake of the Karate Kid.  Here's my review:

I give it 7/10.  It wasn't great, but it was good.  Jackie Chan was awesome.  It was refreshing to have him in a serious role, he fit way better than being the stupid Kung Fu comedian.  Jaden Smith was ok, but he'll needs lots more experience if he wants to be like his Daddy and Mommy!!  The little Chinese girl was mega cute, I liked her.  All in all, I say you need to see it, but wait until it comes out on DVD.  In the meantime, rent the original version! 

Oh, P.S.  There was a scene where Jackie Chan, who plays the Master, was waxing his car.  Then the kid walks in.  I thought, alright!!...the wax on, wax off scene!  But noooooooooooooo.....how dissapointing for fans of the 80s movie!  But to my surprise, that scene turned into a teary one.  Which was probably one of the highlights of the movie.  The fighting scenes at the end were kinda fake, you could see the hits were not real ones, so I thought that wasn't too professionnal for a Kung Fu movie.  But it was still not bad.

So Karate Kid fans, don't despair.  But instead of paying 10$, rent it for 4$ :)

I need to marry this guy...fast!!

OK, I'm NOT letting this guy get away.

Besides being the best Daddy on Earth and the best fiancé, check out what I came home to today.

Was about 40*C outside today, a real sticky day.   Daddy had his day off, like usual and he asked me to pick up Baby at daycare.  He usually does it on his day off.

So I got pick up Baby, come home, and what do I find?!

My Man
With a Ice Cappuccino waiting for me in his hands
Dinner made, table set
House picked up

What the $%?&* am I waiting for?  I need to marry this guy quick! :)

I'm the luckiest girl in the world!


Oh, and on top of that, did I mention that he can't wait to be a dad again?  How perfect can he get?!
Ladies, stand back!! He's TAKEN :P

Future Deception

I was excited today to learn that we were in the Future!  Back to the Future, that is.

I got an email with a pic showing the Dolorean dashbord showing today's date as the Future.  This was exciting news for me!!!   I'm a big BTTF fan, so it totally made my day.

Sadly, it was a mistake.

What a bummer!


In other news.  I went to a manager meeting today, to fill in for my new manager who was off and I totally loved it!  It felt so nice to be part of the big team and get news and info first.  It did help that I was sitting beside my Eyecandyman.  But that's beside the point...., uh hmmmmm.  So yeah, it was great.  I took notes and actually understood all that was discussed, even asked a question.  Hey, even the Big Cheese DG knew my name, how about that!  Yep, I'm now famous at the office...lol :)  It would be great to go from time to time.  I'll discuss it with my manager tomorrow.  You never know!

OK, early night = lots to do!  Daddy is at the Bluesfest to see Iron Maiden.  Yeah, not my bag, either...So I'm home, Baby went down around 6h45, so I have lots of time to do stuff.

Later gator!

Baby making month #1

Bah, ok so it's not as easy as the first time around!

Guys, earmuffs, this is girl talk again. 

Today I was supposed to get my period, but it's not here yet. So I tested. Negative :( I hope it's just because it was in the P.M., drank too much and diluted to HcG or it's a few days too early to know. Pooh.

Went to test at work, with the same friend, same bathroom, same lucky stall....damn.

I'll test again in 4 days if my period decides to hold off. Daddy is sad too. But, on the bright side, we get to practice again in 2 weeks! :) We'll be more careful with fertile days and whatnot.

So, little friends, we're not pregnant today.
I'll keep you posted. Lots of love!
xox

Corona proves that girls are smarter!

Hot dogs, pool and straight hair

Today was a love/hate day.

Baby threw a tantrum, 50 minutes it lasted.  Thank goodness it was after we came back from Walmart!  That really tested my patience.  I had to call my mom to ask her how to handle a situation like this.

After all this commotion, he went down for a looooong nap.  So did I.  Sweet!
Then Daddy came home early from work because he knew I was having a hard time with Baby.  Boy I should marry him, and quick!

During our naps, Daddy set up the kiddy pool in front of the house, all warmed up for Baby, made me a drink that he stored in the fridge and waited for us outside with a few cold beers.

Was I a happy camper when we woke up!  Baby had a blast in the pool, I loved my drink and it was a really relaxing time.  Is he the perfect man or what!!

We had hot dogs again for dinner, which was awesooooome, and then we went for a walk along the river. It was the perfect weather, with a warm breeze that flew in my (straight, shiny and just, oh, silky) hair.  Ah, what a day!!!

Tomorrow morning, we go brunch at my brothers.  We're taking our bikes, which will be a really fun ride with the family.

Can life get any better?!  I guess when you have a really shitty week, it ends in a really wonderful way.  Huh!!

Hey, Happy Independance Day tomorrow, all you Americans out there.  I'm sure the celebrations are starting tonight!

Peace and Love! xox

Flat hair, finally!!

Ho. LLY!  Jeez, it's about time I got a new flat iron for my frizzy hair!
Sorry men, this will be girl talk for a few lines.

So my flat iron was getting old.  I've had it for a few years now (too many), and all it does now is fry my hair, but stupid me I kept it.  I started not using it and procrastinating buying a new one.  I dunno, maybe I was attached to it or something.  I wanted a CHI, which is the cadillac of flat irons, and dammit I had a rough time getting one.  I won't go into details, but it's part of why I had a shitty week.  So then, today, DING, lightbulb.  Hey, I don't HAVE to get a CHI, I can buy another brand for crying out loud!  Yep, sometimes, it takes a while for me to get it.  So yeah, I got another brand from a salon at work.  And with the taxes, it was less expensive than the CHI.  Man, I'm so square sometimes :P

So yeah, now I'll have nice hair.  It is a big deal, don't roll your eyes like that! hahah!

Good night kiddies, lots of love! xoxo
