Over 3 Weeks Old

Here is a picture of Cocoa, my parents went and visited her this weekend. I can't wait to get her on Nov 25th.

Pedro

Here's a picture of Mario for Halloween, dressed like Pedro.... I laughed my ass off. Good job Mario :) I love it !!!!!!!

EastSide

So tonight for supper we met Chris's good friends Jenn and Nathan at EastSide Marios downtown. It was my first time meeting them, they moved back from Toronto and are living in Yarmouth now. Very nice people, we all had a very good time. I had a really yummy meal, Seafood Linguine it was excellent. Now I'm home watching multiple episodes of "Lost", Chris is gone to work.. working the backshift for the next couple of days. We visited the house today.. looks like things are coming along, the insulation is in and ready for gyp-rock. Less than a month to go and we will be in
there !!!!! I'm so excited. Hope everyone has a good night, I'm sure there are some Halloween Parties going on out there.. BOO to everyone.

Boxes, Boxes and More Boxes

Chris went yesterday and picked up boxes to start packing..... there are so many. I definatly know what I'll be doing all weekend, I'm gonna start packing up some of the stuff that we don't use right now. The more that gets done the better. 1 month away from Cocoa's arrival in Halifax. :)

Meet Meatball

Here is a pic of Meatball Adams new dog, he's 6 months old. Adam is a friend from work and fellow ball-player from the Toll MegaHurtz.

RELAXED

This weekend was a relaxing weekend, it was awesome, Chris and I never had any obligations just to relax and have fun. Ryan was over on Friday night and I made BBQ pizza and him and Chris chatted about the stock market and making $$$$. Ryan is now interested in starting into the stocks as well. Saturday evening I cooked Chinese food, won-ton soup and chow mein.. it was yummy. We then headed to a Birthday Party for Chris's uncle, the entire family was there.. it was nice. I even had a couple of beers and too my surprise my stomach held up and I felt fine, it was a great feeling :) Sunday was football day and roast beef dinner.... Go patriots, they won of course... beating Buffalo. Go Brady !!!!!!

The Count down is on!!! exactly a month from tomorrow and the house closes, I'm crossing my fingers that everything goes according to plan. It's gonna be a busy month, and I'm working like crazy. Hope everyone has a good week, I'm hoping to have updated pics of little baby Cocoa by the weekend, and maybe some new house pics too.

Working Weekend

The whole weekend Chris and I have been working.. him 12 hour days and me 8 hour days, so needless to say the weekend hasen't been very exciting. Next weekend should be better we are both off, it will be nice to relax. It's getting closer to the house closing.. I can't wait, crossing my fingers that everything is done ontime. :) Gotta get back to work, pretty busy weekend. Hope everyone enjoys the nice fall day today.. it's sunny outside.

Cocoa

She's the one on the left handside!!!!!

Here She Is !!!

Here is a few pictures of my little puppy Cocoa, in all the pics she is the darkest chocolate one. The mother had 8 puppies 6 yellow and 2 chocolate labs.. all female except 1 male. My parents went on saturday to take some pictures for Chris and I since we were dying to see the little girl.

Apple Pie

Here's a pic of the Apple Pie I made today for Chris. We went and got apples today so I decided to make a pie, tomorrow is turkey day. Yum. I'll have pics of my puppy to post tomorrow.

Finally Sunday Shopping!!!!

Ok so finally Nova Scotia is with the rest of the Country and world... sunday shopping finally exisits here too. It just makes things easier for people who have to work all week long, and then cram it all in on saturday.. now u can do it on sunday if U wish to do so. I'm very excited and feel like Nova Scotia finally has taken a step forward instead of backwards. The government finally realized that the issue was not going away and that they couldn't stop the inevitable. See U at the supermarket, mall or where-ever this sunday!!! shopping.. shopping and more shopping :)

FrostBite

I think today might be my last day for sandals... I've been hanging on to the possibility that it's not that cold outside in the mornings, except for this morning they felt like they had frostbite walking to work. It pains me to wear shoes and socks, but I guess I have no choice.. the only good thing about it is that now I get to go buy a new pair of shoes :)

My Puppy is born

Finally after waiting since Aug, my little puppy was born yesterday. I feel like it's my baby.. lol, I know crazy huh!!! She/he is a Chocolate Lab and I can't wait to see pics of them. My parents are going to visit them on sat so I'll have some baby pics then. I'm sooooooooooo excitied.. mom, dad and the little puppy will be arriving on nov 25th the day after the house closes. :)

Cutie

Here's a couple of pic's of one of my best friends little girl Hannah, also known as Hannah Banana :) she's so cute.

Travel Bug

For the last 2 years Chris and I have not spent more then 3 consecutive months at home without taking a trip somewhere .... it's been since July now and we haven't traveled anywhere. We are both itching to go away, but with the house stuff it's just not in our budget right now. I can't wait until things are settled again so we can take a trip somewhere.... I'm missing Santa Monica California right now. We went last year in nov for my birthday, oh well I guess a house and a dog will have to do.. lol. It just seems like the past couple of weeks everything on TV is california and vegas.... both places that I loved when we were there. I guess watching it on TV will have to do for now.
For more pics of California... check out my webspace @

All Coming Together!!!

So we met with the data wiring guy today for all the rough-ins of the security system, data, voice and every possible wire that can be ran throughout the house. So far things are moving along pretty good.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it closes on Nov 24th, since my parents and the new puppy arrive the next day. We still have a lot of stuff to do before Nov, but thank god we have until Nov..... because the time is flying. Hope eveyone is having a great weekend and enjoying the beautiful weather.

FOR SALE

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I'm selling my 33 gallon fish tank and all accessories. Anyone interested please let me know.

Sitting at work

So this week we took a walk through the house on monday with the electrician, and figured out how many lights we needed to buy, which were ALOT!!!!! It all should look very nice. It took 2 days to pick out all the lights, since we got tired and frustrated the first night at Kent, then last night we finished it all in about 45 min like pros. Thank god that's over, only appliances left.... Nov 24th is getting closer :) I'm so excited, but have so much work to do. I'm working evenings for the next few days, so not too much gonna be going on with me. The Rolling Stones concert has streets blocked off and everyone in Kasis for a few days. Oh well should be a good time for the suckers who decided to buy a ticket... it's supposed to rain tomorrow, I'm sure they will all have a great time anyway. Well I'm gonna go and pray that I have a nice quiet night, hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the last day of summer!!!!!

Toll MegaHurtz Team Photo

Here's a pic from the tournament last Saturday, we were very proud... our first win!! Not by default.... :) it was a fun day had by all.

Busy Weekend

Besides the weather this weekend, it was an awesome couple of days.

Ball Tournament

Saturday was the Aliant Ball Tournament, it was long and tiring, but we all had an awesome time. We played 3 back to back games starting @ 9am in the morning. We won the first one and beat the 2nd place team in the league... us being in second last place that was an accomplishment. The second game we lost by 2 runs and the 3rd Game we got blown out by Mobility.. but we didin't care, by that point is was like 28 degrees with the humidex and we were tired and sore. We had a team BBQ and party at Adam's house who is the team captain, good times were had by all.. too much home brew.


LUCKY

So friday night we had a knock on the door at midnight, I didn't want to answer it and neither did Chris so we ignored it. Anyway, on sat morning we got up and were heading out the door to find someone had stashed a pile of beer cases next to the our door. I wanted to move them, but of course Chris said don't bother they aren't ours. When we got home @ 2 in the afternoon they were still there, after some nagging from me.. I got Chris to go out and move them. To his surprise they were all FULL, one case not even open. So we had free beer, Chris thought it was the best day of his life.. LOL, 20 free Corona.... we couldn't believe it.


FootBall

Yesterday was the 2nd game of the season for the Patriots they played off against the NY Jets , the Patriots won 24-17. It was a good game, and we enjoyed a homemade roast beef dinner that I cooked. It was yummy and we enjoyed the beautiful weather, the weekend was awesome.

Here is a pic of the house, the windows and garage door are in... our house is the second one from the right.

House Update

Today Chris and I took a ride over to Dartmouth to see how the house was coming along, the windows were being put in.. actually it looked like they were almost completly finished with installing them. Monday sept 18th we have a walkthrough with the electrican and the builder to decide where outlets and find out how many lights we have to pickout. Then I guess getting the lights/fixtures is the next project. Tomorrow evening it's off to Leons to pick out some new leather furniture :) I can't wait. It's very exciting and I can't stop talking about it, but I don't care because I am so happy right now. I'll take a new pic soon so U can see the update to the outside.

Ball Tournament
Saturday is the ball tournament. It should be fun and exhausting all at the same time. We have 3 back to back games that start @ 9am on sat morning. Oh well by 10 most of the guys will be drunk anyway...lol. Then it's a party and BBQ sat evening at Adams house. Should be a good time. I'll post some pics if they aren't too incriminating :) Everyone have a good weekend.

Ryan & Stephs Apartment

So Saturday night Chris and I went to Dartmouth to visit Ryan and Steph in their new apartment. It was nice, and Ryan seems sooooo happy, I'm very happy for both of them. It was nice to get to visit, I haven't seen Ryan in such a long time.. well since he moved from our apartment building. Anyway, we had lots of catch up on.. I ended up with a dry throat from all talking :) believe it or not...lol.

Patriots WIN !!!!

So yesterday was the season opener for the New England Patriots, they played the Buffalo Bills. It was a good game, and the pats won over the bills 19-17.. a little too close for comfort. It was a nice day, we relaxed and watched football allday. Can't wait until next sunday... I'm such a nerd now when it comes to football. I was starting to get into it a couple of years ago, then we went to see a playoff game in New England, Patriots vs. Colts, it was amazing and I've been hooked ever since. Which is lucky for Chris.. his girlfriend loves the game, so no nagging on sundays :) Here's a pic of Tom Brady the quarter back for the Patriots, he's sooo cute!!!

House Stuff

Tuesday evening we went to the flooring spot and picked out the flooring. It came with Birch hardwood, so we have that covering the enitre main level and stairs. The front entry way is ceramic as well as the 3 bathrooms, and upstairs in the bedrooms is low berber carpet. I'm not a fan of carpet, but it's a lot to upgrade!!! The basement isn't finished, so we don't have to worry about that right now.

Last Night was counter top and cabinets :) We have picked out white cabinets, 3 glass doors and a textured countertop, it looks like a granite. Eventually we will have the Island built and have a granite top, but for now we are excluding the Island since they want $2000.00 plus tax for the Island and I can get it built by his brother for cheaper. It was fun to pick out the different colours and stuff. The Master bathroom has almost like a marble look counter top, and the main bath a granite look as well. I am so excited, it was pretty fun.

ok that's enough for now, I don't want to bore everyone with my house stuff... I'm just so excited I can't help it !!!!!!

IT'S FRIDAY

Thank god that it's FINALLY friday!! Although it's been a short week, it feels like it dragged on forever. I'm so tired and exhausted, I need sleep and I have a nice comfy bed calling my name to sleep in tomorrow :) It should be a nice weekend, Chris and I are going to go visit Ryan and Steph in their new apartment over in Dartmouth. I can't wait to visit with them, it's been way too long. Sunday is a veg day since the first "Patriots" game is being played... can't wait for that. I know I'm a retard I love Football :) Of course we will also go visit the house too, just to see what progress was made this week. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Fall is So Close

I know everyone will agree that fall is getting closer and closer everyday... either it's the leaves turning colour or the fact that it's starting to get dark @ 7:30pm, it's very disappointing. If your like me and love Fall then you are welcoming the cool sunny days ahead, which is a change from the hot and humidity of summer. I know I'm crazy!!!! Fall is actually just another excuse to buy clothes (I know Carly will defintly agree with that). I don't know how many of U have been to the Joseph Howe SuperStore lately, but I've been buying clothes there for a while now. It's great I can pick up groceries and something to wear all in one place. I love it!!!!! The clothes are really nice and the prices are awesome, so U don't feel so guilty when spending $$$$. Well it's such a nice day I think I will go for a walk at lunch.. so everyone enjoy the nice day. Oh, and don't forget to pick up groceries, well actually forget the groceries and buy something nice for yourself :)

Happy Anniversay

Well I got to say " Happy Anniversay" to Chris and myself, Saturday was our 2 year anniversay... I can't believe that it's been that long. Chris worked sat and so did I so we celebrated today, I cooked up a Mexican feast.


The Menu included: (Of course everything was made from scratch)
-Guacamole
-Fresh Salsa
-Chimmy Chongas
-Mexican Rice
-Refried Beens
-Mango fruit salad

Everything was so delicious and we even had a little Mexican music playing to
help the mood... it was so nice, defintly the next place I want to vacation. Oh.. and the food was SPICY. :)

Nice Weekend

Well this weekend was nice and relaxing, I did some OT on sat for a project we had going on in the dept. It was easy $$$ so I couldn't refuse, since I need every penny I can get now. Of course the last couple of weeks have been nothing but maddness and I've been a nervous wreck, house stuff sucks. The picking out of the cabinets were fun until I got the quote and almost shit my pants, defintly gonna have to cut some stuff out of that. Financing has been a nightmare but we finally have things ironed out. I'll be happy when I'm in the house and can put the next 3 months behind me... so U ask what else have I been up to... NOTHING, this house is consuming all my time. Oh, well it will be all worth it in the end. We drove over yesterday to visit and they are putting the brick on now, things are coming along good. Their little dirty secret to building is that there are sooooo many extra costs and fees. Soon it will be Nov 24th and we will be in, thank god. I won't be sorry to have all this stuff taken care of.

ColdStream Run, Dartmouth

Here's the back of the house, the second one from the left hand side......
Our house is the one from the right hand side, the second one in the middle. The pic below is what it will look like when it's finished.

I'm very excited for tomorrow!! we get to meet with the builder and find out more info about the inside of the house, and pick out some of the cabinets, flooring and lighting. I can't wait... it's really bad to say but I can't wait until fall.. to be more specific nov 24th when hopefully our house will be ready for us to take the keys. Here are a few pics that we took the other day.. the roof is almost finished now, those contractors work fast. The pics might not be completly clear they were taken with my camera phone.

Great Weekend

I had a good weekend, Chris and I went to the Valley for a night to spend sometime with his parents and family at the cottage. It was a nice sunny day but the wind was off the lake and it was cool... we lit the woodstove in the cottage and had some drinks. The wind died down later in the evening and we had a bbq for supper and I drank a bottle of wine :) Today we picked up some blueberries, peaches and plums grown in the valley.. yum.

Not Official, but Almost !!!!

So Chris and I signed on the dotted line on wednesday night, we bought a townhouse over in Dartmouth in Russell Lake West. It's a new subdivision being built on the lake.. the lake is literally 100 feet from the back of the patio, all that separates us is a greenbelt of trees. I'm so excited. The roof is just being put on the one that we are purchasing, so it won't be ready until Novemeber 24th, but I guess it's a nice birthday present/xmas gift all in one. I'll take it!!!

Here is the link to the area if U want to check it out

Here is the other link to the MLS Listing
http://www.mls.ca/PropertyDetails.aspx?PropertyID=4672304

I'm sure I will keep you updated with pics of the construction to the point that you won't want to see another picture of the place..lol.

This weekend we are going to the valley to visit with Chris's parents, we haven't seen them in a while and haven't been anywhere in a long time, we both have been working opposite shifts and long tiring backshifts. So it will be nice to go down and visit and spend some time at the cottage and with his family. Hope everyone has a great weekened, it's supposed to be nice and sunny.

House Viewing

Yesterday was my last backshift, I can't believe I got through all 7 of them. Hopefully I won't have to do them anymore this year. Today we are going to go view another house, we've been looking and viewing all week. These houses are brand new on Russell Lake West in Dartmouth, they are really nice townhouses and they are on the lake with walking trails. I love them so far, we are going to see the model home today.. oh and they have natural gas which is awesome because now I can have a gas range for the kitchen. Well I'm crossing my fingers that we like it, because we are looking to be moved in for Nov 1st. :) I am so excited, I'll keep U updated on how the viewing goes.

The Baby is on his way!!!!

Well my mother called me this past weekend, and asked me if I wanted to order my Chocolate Lab puppy... of course I want to get him, I've been waiting for that moment for a long time. My grandfathers brother breeds labs in Newfoundland, and this is the last time he is bredding his chocolate lab. Oh, my god I'm gonna have a puppy in a few months, I can't believe it. Needless to say the push for a house is on now. The baby dog will be ready for Chris and I in November, so we are searching for a house for the three of us :) I'm so excited, but know that they are a lot of work... but I don't care about that, they are way too cute. Well gonna go and wait for the guys to get in, so I can head home and sleep.

First Backshift

Well I made it through my first backshift, it's almost over.. now only 6 more nights to go. It isn't as hard as I expected, but I am very tired. I will sleep all day today... zzzzzzzzzzzz

1 more day

Only 1 more day and I have a few days off, I will return to work on monday night @ 12 midnight for my 7 days of backshift in a row. Not much going on in my life this month, only lots of work. Sept I have an awesome schedule so it's back to some sort of normal life again. Last night we played ball... our team won, but by a forfeit so it wasn't as fun. Although we were playing for fun the other team was fueling and it was a very brutal game. All that counts is that we won. I hit all times up to bat and had an RBI... I was pretty excited. I'm enjoying playing ball and want to get involved in more sports if I can, it's a variation on my workouts and I like it. Well hopefully this weekend we will get to the beach for a picnic and just lots of relaxation. Thank god tomorrow is friday. :) oh, and Big Brother is on tonight!!!! I'm ashamed to say that I'm addicted.

House Hunting

Well Chris and I have been looking at areas that we would be interested in buying or building a house since February. We haven't been really serious about it, just trying to decide on what area near the city would best fit both of us and our schedules. I don't want to move too far away from the city at all. We don't have a realestate agent yet, probably soon, since we want the house before xmas. It's a very frustrating process, or maybe it's just because I am so picky and know exactly what I want and cannot find anything that is remotely close to what I'm looking for. I WANT A REALLY BIG KITCHEN !!!! since I love to cook. I didn't think it was that hard to find, but apparently it is. Anyway, I'll keep everyone updated on how things go, before u know it... I'll be inviting everyone to our new house for a party :)

7 days straight

Today marks the first day of a 7 day stretch for me @ work. The next 3 days I am working by myself, which I am not looking forward to, but it will prove to myself how much I actually know. Well wish me luck. Hope I have a good day, and everyone have a good Natal Day weekend. Tonight is the fireworks on the Macdonald Bridge, they should be good.. last year they were awesome, well what I seen of them anyway.

Well Carly I finally got someone else into the blog scene as well, my good friend from Newfoundland Patricia , you can check out her blog @ http://patriciapenney.blogspot.com/
I love it, I wish all my friends blogged, it's the easiest way to keep in touch in our ever busy lives.

HOT... HOT.... HOT

Wow today is sooo HOT, the temp is 27 degrees, but the humidex is 36 it's insane. I love it, but i'm not too excited to play baseball tonight in the heat. Wish the Toll Megahertz luck.. were gonna need it in this heat. Wish I was at the beach instead of work today.... :)

Lucky Fishtank!!!

So last night I went and bought an exercise ball, I've been wanting one for a while and finally went out last night and got one. Got it home and starting blowing it up.... man it takes forever. Anyway, I got that out of the way and starting sitting, rolling away... until I rolled backwards and HIT the FISHTANK!!!! Chris said I had a blank look on my face as I realized what I had hit... " oh my god the fishtank" I couldn't see what was going on but felt water on my face. Now let me picture it for you, I have a 33 gallon fishtank, planted with hugh rocks on a stand... and then me and the ball went crashing into the corner of the tank... the water sloshed around, the fish were dazed and confussed and Chris thought the tank was going to twist in half. It all happened in 30 seconds but I was freaking. Thank god everything stayed put and the fish are happily swiming around again... and there is no water, glass or rock on my floor or on me. What a crazy and stupid experience, needless to say the exercise ball is put where it belongs... with the exercise equipment, never to be used in the living room again. Had to say a little prayer after that experience. :) Today is gonna be HOT, HOT, HOT, Hope everyone has a good day, Thank god for AC.

Happy 28th Anniversary

I want to say Happy Anniversary today to my Mom and Dad they have been married 28 years today. I would only hope that half as many peoples marriages last that long and the world would be a better place. Anyway, not much going on with me working my last evening shift this week.. and then I finally get to relax this weekend and spend sometime with Chris. He's still not feeling well, got sick on vacation and today he feels pretty bad. Hopefully he will be better tomorrow, I want to go and get some blueberries and I've got a bunch of errans to run. Hope everyone enjoys the sun this weekend.

It's gonna be a long week

Vacation was over on sunday and monday it was back to work. Work has been really busy and I'm still fuzzy from vacation, the last 2 days trying to concentrate was impossible or remember anything that I've learned before vacation. I'm working until 10pm everynite so I won't have much to say for the week.. unless something very interesting happens. Well going to go workout before I have to go to work, hope everyone has a good week.

More Vacation Pictures

Here are some more pics.. I couldn't fit them on the last blog. I publish the rest in the week.

Back in Halifax, vacation is over !!!

Saturday evening @ 5.30 we got back in Halifax. Vacation was good, it was nice and relaxing and the weather co-operated. Lots of swiming, eating and visiting took place and of course RELAXATION :) Chris ended up not feeling well from like tuesday to saturday so that kinda sucked, but we still had a good time. It was nice to see everyone and especially my dog Kieley, well my dads dog..lol. We had a few fires lit in the firepit where we roasted marshmallows, had homemade bread toasted and good old bologna bbqd over open flame. Lots of swiming was done, and trying to stay cool and out of the sun was impossible. Hard to believe that I have to go back to work again tomorrow, but it's all good I'm working evenings so I'll get to sleep in and be home again around 10pm each nite.. not too bad. I have some pics of my parents house and garden attached, we never did any tourist stuff this year... Chris seen most of it last year. Oh, and we visited Dawn and Hannah Banana in Mount Pearl, she is growing like a weed. Going to go and fold the last load of laundry... it feels like a hundred loads. Hope everyone has a good week. Enjoy the pics :)

Vacation In Newfoundland

It's the middle of the week and vacation is almost over :( A few more days and I'll be back in Halifax again. The last few days all we have been doing is visiting, enjoying some sun, swimming and lots of EATING!!!!!! Will have some pics to post when I get back. Thats all for now, using good old dial-up and having a hot chocolate. Just got out of the swiming pool and the water is 35 degrees :) it's awesome. Blogging returns again next week, stay tuned for pictures from the trip.

HOT day!!!

What a nice HOT and sunny day today was. Chris and I woke up around 10am... it was so good to sleep in and be on VACATION :) We went out and done errans this afternoon to Bayers Lake before we fly out tomorrow.. it was soooo nice outside, I couldn't wait to get back and enjoy some sun. We went for a walk on the waterfront when we got back, it was nice, there was a lot of people out and about. The cool breeze off the ocean was refreshing as well, it was a help to cool off. We ended up at the Italian place @ Bishops landing for some Gelato, we both got the Trimisu Gelato.. yummy. It was pizza on the BBQ for supper then off packing we went.. getting ready for our week in newfoundland. I'm now really sleepy, waiting for the last load of laundry to finish before I can complete the packing of the suitcases. We fly out tomorrow @ 11am and arrive in Newfoundland @ 1pm. It's supposed to be cold this week... I'm hoping things will turn around. Well that's all for now, I should be able to update while I'm away, if not see everyone next weekend. I'll have pictures and with any luck a tan!!!!!!

7 Hours until Vacation

Sitting here @ work, hoping that today isn't too busy and counting down the hours until vacation. in 7 hours i'm off until the 24th :) on sunday we are flying to newfoundland and returning on saturday the 22nd. I'm going to try to keep updating as often as possible, but you know.. all the swimming, walking the dog, bbqing and relaxation might get in the way. I'm crossing my fingers that the weather is nice, but I don't care either way.. the pool temp is like 35 degrees, so I'm sure I'll stay warm. Let the countdown continue.... 7 hours to go :)

Rain, Rain and more Rain

Despite a Rainfall warning I still needed my morning coffee. I just got back from break with Ted, we walked to Irving. I knew it was raining today and it's was gonna be heavy at times, but man we got soaked. I had my umbrella so it wasn't too bad, but I felt like a kid when the water was so high it came over my feet ... of course I'm wearing sandals so my feet are very wet. It was well worth it though, I'm addicted to the Banana bread at Irving. It's the best banana bread I have ever tasted, I have to admit even better then mine..lol. It was fresh this morning so the walk in the heavy rain was worth it. I'm ashamed to say I'm glad it's raining today, nice break from the hot sun yesterday and I'm so tired, I didn't want to play ball tonight.. well thanks to mother nature the fields are so wet the only ones out are ducks. Everyone have a good day, 1 more day until vacation :)

Long Day

So today after a long day at work Patrick and I went apartment shopping for more stuff for his new one bedroom apartment. We went shopping @ superstore on Joseph Howe Dr, it was fun. I actually got to go up and down all the houseware sections, we sent approx 2 1/2 hours there. Wow that sounds insane. Chris got off work @ 8pm so we had to be finished by then... we got back in time to pick him up. Got home and started supper.... chris lit the BBQ and I got the salad ready, what we didn't know was the PROPANE was out...lol. So the pork souvlaki had to be cooked inside on the grill, oh well by 8.15 I really didn't care how it was cooked, I was starved!!!! I'm now getting ready to relax, we are watching the Allstar Baseball game... Go big Papi :) Only a few more days until vacation.. nite.

Here's a pic of Big Papi from the Boston Red Sox !!!!

Weekend in the Valley

Saturday morning we go up and ate breakfast.. homemade blueberry pancakes, bacon and coffee.. it was yummy. Then we got ready and headed for the valley to visit with Chris's parents, well his father anyway. Chris's mom was in Cape Breton for the weekend. We stopped along the way and visited Chris's brother and Lacey and there new house, very nice. We arrived in Anapolis around 3 o'clock and hung out on the back deck where I finally got some sun, I actually got a minor sunburn. Then we decided to go for a drive through the valley, get an ice cream then back to the house for supper. After a nice supper we headed out again, this time to the cottage on the lake for some relaxation. It was beautiful, we got to watch the sunset, I drank a bottle of wine and then we retired for the night. This morning we got up in search of some strawberries at the U-pick but it was closed and it started to rain.. so no strawberries, but the raspberries will be soon out so YUM. I'm very tired so just relaxing now... this time next weekend I'll be in newfoundland on vacation :)

It's Friday

This week has felt sooooooo long, but in fact it was only 4 days. The weather is beautiful now which makes going to work everyday suck, cause I just want to stay home and enjoy the sun. Tomorrow we are going to get to enjoy the sun, we are heading to the Valley to visit Chris's parents and spend some time @ the cottage on the lake. So hopefully it will be as nice as the forecast is calling for. I defintly want to get more strawberries too, we will be back sunday so I should have some nice pics when I get back. Well gonna go and relax and SLEEP IN tomorrow :) can you tell I'm excitied!!!! Good nite.

A little of everything

I didn't know what to title this entry so... your gonna get bits and pieces of everything.
I was off yesterday feeling really crappy, really bad stomach. I wish the Doctors would find out whats going on 1 1/2 years and still no real diagnosis... they say ulcer, but not completly sure. It's driving me insane. Today work is quiet, so .. SO far so good. I'm getting my hair cut tonight :) but no drastic changes, i'm too chicken. Looking forward to the weekend, Chris and I are both off. We are going to the Valley to visit his parents and spend some time @ the cottage, so hopefully I will get a tan.. this pastie white skin doesn't look healthy. I'm also hoping that the exposure to nature will help my stress level.. work and this new job is stressing me to death. Hope everyone has a good day... and tonight I'll have a fresh new haircut. I'm also going to visit Patrick in his new apartment :)

Shopping For Summer

Today was a beautiful day, I really didn't want to go shopping but I really needed new summer clothes. So I headed to MicMac Mall to get some new clothes for some fun in the sun. What I didn't expect was that everyone had the same idea... the place was packed it was CRAZY, I must of been out of my mind to stay, but I did and there were sooooo many sales. I managed to get a lot of new summer clothes :) I'm just relaxing now enjoying a little ME time, Chris is working backshift tonight so he won't be home until tomorrow morning. Gotta go " Treasure Hunters" is on, it's my new favorite show!!! Hope everyone had a great long weekend, 2 weeks until vacation home in Newfoundland.

Happy Canada Day

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun. I've been relaxing allday, chris has been working allday he gets off @ 8pm then hopefully we will go for a walk down on the waterfront to enjoy the rest of the evening together. I've basically done nothing today it's been awesome, slept in, did some house work, worked out and sat in the sun all afternoon. I think on our walk tonight we will get some Gelato @ the Italian spot at Bishop's landing.. very YUMMY. :)
