feeling better

Thursday: off sick from work.
Friday: off sick from work.
Saturday: went mini golfing to celebrate 3 years, 4 month anniversary. Also bought Lego Batman game so played that for awhile on the computer.
Sunday: worked 8am-12. Not too bad, cleaned and then had a tour of babyGap.

We grocery shopped and then played Batman. Also made a chicken pot pie for dinner...


which Niall dropped out of the oven. HA!
He was so mad, but I didn't care. Just couldn't stop laughing as I scooped it up onto the plates. It didn't fall onto the floor, just the bottom of the oven so that was good.
He will never live this down.

Today I work at 3:30. Going to do some chores etc before work because I am feeling better. Hurrah!

dead tired. dead beat.

6 hours at the Gap tonight.
8 hours tomorrow.

Ohh goodness, my knees hurt.

But! I got new shoes and a headband from Aldo :)

my babies are growing up

Yesterday I phoned a bunch of vets to see about getting Perseus fixed.
No dice, he's only almost 4 months and they do the surgery at 6 months.

P is almost the same size as my baby girl! They are getting along so much better now. She lets him lick her head and he doesn't try to hump her (as much). Haha!

I can hear them running around their room (he still lives in his giant hutch, she get the whole room).

Ahh, sibling rivalry?

migraine

i ended up getting sick at work last night.
my boss had to drive me home.

not up to anything today.
they subbed my morning shift off, but i have to babysit at 12:30 and then gap at 4-10.

so shakey and just feeling gross and sore.


enjoy your thursdays, this week went by so fast.

Well, it is officially fall and I think acceptable to start having pumpkin pie, and other things pumpkin spiced. Technically, I started having pumpkin pie last season, near the end of August. Whoops!

I love the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, and it just so happens that I have a giftcard from a family I taught swimming lessons to!
I also nabbed a $10 Timmy's gift card from work for being a stellar teacher. Sweet.
I have a 10% discount at AE right now due to credits... hmm...
And of course my 50% discount on non-sale items at the Gap!



For fashion, I am craving these:

the first day of fall

It looks more like summer than it has in the past three weeks!
Loving the sunshine and the 24* heat!

Had a bunch of preschool swim lessons this morning and a level 3 of homeschool children.
Done until 1:30 tomorrow, kind of niiiice!!

Hope everyone's first day of fall is going as great as mine.

monday madness

well, i have been super busy and unable to update in the last (almost) week.
yipes!


this weekend was very niiice (borat).
friday night i worked until 10:20 at the gap, and Ni was over at a friend's place. i picked him up and we got home close to 1am. i was very very tired.
saturday Ni had a dentist appt so we were up and downtown by 9. then went to the gap to look for some polo shirts. headed over to value village and changed our mind on our hallowe'en costumes.

sherlock holmes and dr. watson. elementary, my dears!
\\am getting excited!!

Ni's mom came down to take us and his sister and her bf out for dinner. we were going to go to an Imax but Ni ended up getting super sick, poor man.
so we watched a bunch of the office.
yesterday my sister came down, and we went out for brunch. i had my pool inservice at 1:45 which was smack in the middle of the day, boo.
Ni and i did groceries and made chicken burgs and yam fries for dinner. yum yum.
we watched a couple more offices and then Xmen Origins: Wolverine.

back to the pool this morning... 9:45 - 11, and then back 3:30 - 7.
hopefully i will get to see my sister today, as well.




xxoo baby bunny kisses.

some inspiration on a lovely tuesday

freja (carrying the bottled water) is one of my favourite models. possibly because in her down time she looks so down to earth, possibly because i wish i could wear my hair and clothes the way that she does.
i'm going to try to copy her hair style today. wish me luck!


am making some shocking pink cupcakes. with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles.
boudica is being such a sweetheart today! perseus is a tired little man, but he was up quite late last night chewing on some cardboard. love them so so much.

also, N and i decided what we are going to be for hallowe'en!
i will be elphaba thropp - also known as the wicked witch of the west in the wicked books.
N is going to be a flying monkey.


I AM SO EXCITED!
i adore hallowe'en. it my favourite "holiday" -- ha!

best weekend ever, part 1

Sorry I have not written much lately.
Been spending some time with the Boy and we had a very relaxing weekend.


The title I took from a blogger I used to read on myspace: Sarah Morrison. Me and my friend Shannon (great grammar, I know) used to read it weekly. I miss that. So I shall start doing Best Weekend(s) Ever!

On Friday I had the day off (again, job officially starts tonight) so I made cupcakes, went to the mall, got some new boots, and some more paperwork filled out at the Gap.
Friday night we went over to our friend Joel's new place that he is living in with his new girlfriend. Technically they've been going out for almost a year but he has been living up North for a year and we'd hardly spoken to him during that time.
Anyways! Dinner was great; lasagne with bread and a salad, and then we played cards and Scene It and some other games later (Trivial Pursuits boys vs. girls, they won. Grr)
His brother and his girlfriend live in the same complex so they came up after dinner for games.

Saturday we basically had an The Office marathon and didn't leave the house. I mean not once. - It was great! - and then yesterday we did chores, cleaned up the apartment, some laundry and grocery shopping. Made nachos for dinner while watching some more Office and then went to see Inglourious Basterds which was great. Wow.

So! That is the update of my weekend.

hurray!

new boots, freshly baked vanilla cupcakes.

hurrah!

boots are from le chateau.

need:

some black flats.
some fall boots.
some dressy-ish pants.

- for work, of course.

I only have a few pairs of jeans (read 2) that would be suitable for work.

i have little to no tops that would... hmm.

definetly need a high neckline tshirt.
maybe another cartigan.


this is so great, because i only have $21. fabulous.
