My husband starts his holiday next week

by

My husband is going to be on holiday for the last two weeks of June. We didn’t plan any big vacation though … we don’t have a lot of spare money and just a week after he returns to work he has a one week temporary layoff and then another one in August.

If we were rolling in dough four weeks off would be great .. but uhm … no, that’s not the way it works.

Anyway … sometime during Chris’ holiday I want to have a little get together, maybe a barbecue with friends. I was looking at this party invitation site and I came across all kinds of invitations, I even found Seafood Boil Invitations. I won’t be having a Sea Food boil since well .. sea food is kind of expensive and I’m also deadly allergic to it, but we’ll do something interesting.

I don’t know what we’ll do for the rest of the holiday, probably get things done around the house and then find some interesting things to do in the Toronto area. Good things for us that there’s lots to do in Toronto, especially at this time of year!





Rock Climbing is risky!

by

I was talking with one of my friends earlier today and I was very surprised by something that I learned. My friend is very outdoorsy … like I used to be before I got so sick.

She’s always out jogging, hiking and she goes rock climbing pretty much every weekend. I too used to rock climb regularly … so this is the part that really shocked me … Did you know that when you participate in activities like these that you might need higher risk life insurance? Yeah, it’s true.

She only found out because she recently applied for life insurance and I guess as she filled out the paperwork she listed her rock climbing activities and she was denied regular life insurance. Oops!

Finding a Father’s Day gift

by

My husband is trying to figure out what to get his father for Fathers Day. Yes I know, it’s a little bit late to be searching for a present, but not too late!

His father doesn’t have a lot of hobbies so that doesn’t help. He does love hockey though, so we might get him some hockey DVDs – like classic games and things like that.

My husbands brother was suggesting that we think about getting him a radar detector – maybe a whistler radar detector. I’m not sure if he’d use it or not. We might get it … I’ll have to check it out a bit more though. Have any of you tried using one of these? Did you like it, were you happy with it?

Trying to do two things at once

by

I’m sitting here watching TV and trying to get some work done on the computer at the same time. Unfortunately … I’m not getting much work done on the computer because I’m watching the movie Burlesque.

I’m enjoying the movie a lot more than I thought I would. I normally don’t like musicals all that much, but this one has me captivated for some reason. I like the guy playing Jack .. although it probably wouldn’t have hurt if he’d gone looking for testosterone supplements that worked to build up his muscles a bit more. Yum.

Ok back to the movie .. and more computer work .. I’ll get it all done eventually!

Battling my roses for our new fence

by

I barely have any skin left on my arms! Why? Well … I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the last few days moving my big rose branches around in my backyard as my neighbors have a new fence put in. Actually I guess as we have a new fence put in, because it’s the fence we share that’s causing me to have to do all this work!

The fence is pretty much done now. I’m not sure that I like it, but there’s not much I can do about it now. There were two guys working for the fencing company and one of them was fairly helpful and polite to us when we asked questions but the other guy was a real jerk. He definitely should never talk to customers!

If I wasn’t so upset by the whole fence going in situation (our neighbors just kind of thrust the fence thing upon us instead of asking us what we wanted and letting us be part of the decision making process) I would have enjoyed watching the nice guy work. He was fairly good looking and I guess building fences helps build muscles .. or else he used testosterone gel because he sure had a well developed body! Me on the other hand …. as I said in the beginning .. I probably didn’t look so good covered in scratches from all those rose branches! It’s going to take a week to heal.

I think I’m going to try to sleep in tomorrow if I can. I’m so tired. I’ve been working outside for three days in a row on all this fence and garden stuff … I’m exhausted.
