Sleeping issues

So apparently my nephew has stopped sleeping contently in his new big boy bed and has been sleeping on the floor. He sticks his head out the door of his room watching his parents hoping to be allowed out.

Trick or treat...

...smell my feet. A little tot actually said that to me tonight. I was excited to finally have trick or treaters come to my door. I was not so excited to notice a lack of "thank you's" from the little buggers.

A day in the life...

I bought a new cell phone today. I convinced myself that the bottom row of numbers was sticking warranting a new toy for mama! Boyfriend tagged along for the process and endured a 45 minute chat with the salesdude. It was actually rather entertaining.

On the way home we popped by Burger King for a treat (because I need more grease after the 800 McDonalds visits on the way to Ontario last weekend). We had a two for one coupon so we each ordered a combo. We swiped the debit card and nothing. Their machine was down and I just deposited every paper bill I had. So, they gave our meals to us for free. yeay!

I went for a walk with the dog yesterday in the woodlot. I came across another very large dog who found Vince to be an ideal playmate. I shortly discovered the dog's dad. We walked the rest of the loop together and had a nice chat discovering we had been at the same costume party the night before. What a small little city!?

I was rifling through the mail yesterday discovering a Puralator packaged addressed to me. Eeek, that could be really good or really bad. I opened it up to find my lost car key! The War Amps key tag worked! I had dropped my spare car key with the remote door locky thing and was dreading the $130 to replace it but yeay, War Amps!

Misc. Tidbits

Andrea and I drove halfway across Canada, not really but to my ass it did feel like that far. Our highschool friend was married in Ontario so we set out on a roadtrip to celebrate the nuptuals. Much to everyone's surprise, we're still speaking. We didn't even have any blow outs the whole time.

I read Andrea's blog and I noticed she left out a few pertinent details from our little adventure. Let's start with our near fire in our hotel room immediately upon our arrival. After I showered to rid myself of shower crotch Andrea was jumping in to do the same. She smells smoke and discovers a very hot switch plate. Handy. The electricians come to our room. We sprall out on our beds and sleep while three strange men are hovering around. They seemed safe.


We venture down to the hotel's restaurant, Axle Annie's, for supper with fellow New Brunswicker's. We ate, laughed, and drank, then it happened. Norman took out his eye. Yep, he has a glass eye and LOVES to take it out and show anyone, not me, willing to inspect his new pride and joy. Thank God for red wine.


The next afternoon we're getting ready for the wedding and we're standing in our room in various bits of underwear. We finally get our dresses on but Andrea seems to be struggling with her pantyhose, you know how they can be, and my dad is sitting observing the whole ordeal. "Jesus, Andrea, you need a little grease to get those on." So inappropriate on so many levels. The hole struggle lead to a change in leg dressing and a very hot and sticky Andrea...

Yeay for A/C!

The wedding was lovely, the reception was scripted, the dance was ok. The NB girls overtook the dance floor when Spirit of the West's "Home for a Rest" came on. Then for some reason I did this...

Not really sure what this was all about but, my mom took this picture.

Oh dear!

Thanksgiving hike!

This is a waterfall about 30 minutes from my parents' home. We drove in and then hiked the last kilometer or so to the actual falls.

I was very curious to climb to the top to see the size of the brook feeding the falls but chickened out. This is as far as I maganed to go.

The hike out...up hill...arggg! Thankfully it was a beautiful day with beautiful views!

The hike into the waterfall!

Vince and his friend Riley had a chance to get out for a run together this weekend. They're "sharing" a stick after having a dunk in the river. Vince had to get the poo-poo he rolled in washed out of his fur and hunting vest.

!

Cousin Tara flew in for the long weekend. We had a few drinks on Friday night before heading to the motherland

Ahhh, the motherland. Standing way way way out at the end of the driveway having an hour and a half long chat with visitors.

Amputated teat

Campus Vets - they just amputated a teat. Love that word.

Ramblings

So, JT and his little SexyBack finally got me into trouble. I was driving, I was getting down to JT, and I got stopped and fined for speeding. BOoo...

I honestly think people who are into showing dogs are partially crazy. Seriously?! There are shows on these people and the majority of them are half coocoo. Wowzers. Maybe I just need more of a passion for something.

Fleece socks are not conducive to providing appropriate traction on carpeted stairs. This may result in a braless, jammie wearin', 5 stair skid and stumble in front of boyfriend's buddy. Supporting your body weight on one big toe during such a stumble will result in pain, which you must hide to protect your pride. Ouch.

Losing weight is easier when you don't eat a huge bag of cheesies in two days. Humpty Dumpty you are evil.
