Need a great wedding gift idea

by

We just found out recently that my niece will be getting married at the end of the year. She had been planning to get married next June, but her fiance joined the armed forces and he’ll be shipping out in January (I think) so they pushed the wedding date up.

So now I’m trying to figure out what to get them for a wedding gift. Of course, we’ve had a lot of financial problems this year so while I want to get them something very nice I also have to try to keep the expenses down.

At least it’s a good time of year to be looking for a gift since there will be lots of Christmas sales coming up! No Black Friday sales here in Canada of course – since we already had Thanksgiving in October (and we don’t have a big sale associated with it unlike our US counterparts).

They are just starting out so I guess they need just about everything … well everything but Couture Jewelry since my niece grew up with a mom and aunt me) in the jewelery trade. LOL

Any good wedding gift ideas for a couple just starting out?





I need a TV in the bedroom

by

Do you ever feel so crappy that you just want to stay in bed? I feel that way a lot thanks to my Crohn’s and this strange tiredness that’s come over me in the last couple of weeks.

I’ve been thinking about it, and since we have an extra TV upstairs,, why not set it up so that I could actually stay in bed occasionally when I want to? All we need is a TV wall mount and we’d be all set. Yeah .. we don’t even have the TV set up … but if we got the wall mount and maybe put the TV on the wall across from the bed it would be great.

Not that I like watching day time TV though … LOL I guess we’d need to set up a DVD player too.

Do you have a TV in your bedroom?

Ugh – Fast food for dinner

by

I was so tired tonight that I didn’t cook dinner. Actually I fell asleep for two hours and didn’t wake up until my husband came home from work!

By that time it was 8 pm and a little late to start cooking. So we had McDonalds for dinner. We don’t have that often. It’s rare. But I always feel guilty after eating such a high calorie meal! Where’s some Medifast coupons when you need them!

Oh and the salt! Did you know that Canadian fast food apparently has even more salt in it than American fast food? Why? I don’t know … but it’s sickeningly salty.

Do you ever feel guilty after eating a fast food meal?

What a beautiful weekend (and our injured dog)

by

It’s beautiful here in Toronto this weekend … it’s like a very late Indian Summer. The sun is just about to set, but it’s still 17 C (63 F) out- and that’s pretty warm for November!

If only it would stay this warm instead of getting cold again soon! Oh well .. at least it’s still supposed to be warm tomorrow before it slowly begins to cool off again. We’ll make the most of it I guess.

Actually, since it was so nice out today my husband decided to take our dog to the beach for a run and swim. Unfortunately, after being out swimming in the Lake for two hours or so, she limped back to shore. All of her feet were bleeding! It turns out she somehow scraped all of her toenails off to the nub! My poor baby.

We’ve taken her to Cherry Beach here in Toronto to swim in Lake Ontario several times – in the same area – and nothing like this has ever happened before. Maybe there’s more rocks under the water right now? Very strange.

So after cleaning up her feet she’s just resting beside me on the couch. My husband and I are just staying in the living room watching TV so that she doesn’t get up and start trying to follow us around. I figure if her feet have a rest maybe they’ll feel a little better. I hope!

My husband has control of the remote so I’m not having much fun! He’s flipping between sports news, music docs and uh infomercials for things like a dip machine – which BTW I think he’s interested in getting! LOL Why do guys always change channels like every five minutes?

If our dog, Midnight, hadn’t hurt herself so badly I’m sure we would have spent the last couple of hours outside doing the last of our garden work. I still have some mighty tall sunflowers to chop down!

Did you have nice weather this weekend?

I’m freezing!

by

It’s cold here in Toronto today. Winter’s a comin’! Brrrr!

Geez, if I’m already hating the cold this much in early November I wonder how I’m going to get through January and February? Maybe I should buy myself a few lottery tickets and use my winnings (ha ha) to take one of those lovely warm orlando vacations ?

Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

I’ve been freezing for the last hour or so, just waiting for our furnace to come on. It finally did as I started writing this post. I guess I could have turned up the thermostat – but I didn’t want to do that. Instead I just piled on warmer clothes. Although I suspect once the furnace is done heating up the house I’ll be able to take my sweater off.

At least in the winter when it’s really cold out the heat comes on regularly. That’s one thing I hate about Autumn and late spring. The house cools more gradually so it’s a long wait at time for the furnace to come on. Oh well .. at least those months are better for our budget.

Is it cool in your area today too? What are you doing to stay warm?
