Happy thanksgiving!!

Happy thanksgiving everyone!!!

I just don't get.

I really don't get it!

You know those shoes they sell that come in a little bag, a little pair of flats to wear when your feet get sore and you can carry them around in a little clutch?  You've seen the commercials? They sell them in Shopper's Drug Mart.

I hope you know what I'm talking about.

Because I don't get it.

What do you do with the heels you're wearing, when you switch to the flats??  Now you're stuck carrying a pair of heels around.

I just don't get the concept.

Weekend Recap

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Now, I know its Tuesday, not Monday, and that the weekend is long over.  But in all fairness, Stephan came home last Thursday from Germany, and went back to work this morning, so I totally and completely shunned the computer for the time he was home.

Needless to say, the weekend was quiet and relaxing.  I just spent a lot of time cuddling with Stephan, watching TV and movies, and enjoying time with him :)  I love that he's home!

The only thing I really did this weekend was church related.  On Saturday I went and helped decorate the altar for church, as we were celebrating our church Thanksgiving on Sunday (we always celebrate the week before the Canadian Thanksgiving).  I made rouladen later in the evening for the dinner on Sunday, and put it in the slow cooker overnight.  Sunday was Thanksgiving dinner at church, which went great! A lot of people showed up, and there was a lot of food!  I love Thanksgiving :)

Sunday night was spent like the rest of the weekend, cuddled up on the couch and napping in the afternoon with Stephan.

Did I mention already that I love having him home??

Now he's off to work for 8 days, which means he's working over the long weekend (BOO!) but, so is life.


How was your weekend??

Weekend Recap

This weekend was more relaxing, in the sense that I didn't have a lot of appointments and I was able to get some things done around the house.  Though I guess it could still be considered busy!

Friday I finally just enjoyed a night to myself, relaxing in front of the T.V.  Its the first time I've been able to have a quiet night for awhile!  I stayed up late, watching a couple of movies.

I finally, finally, FINALLY got to sleep in on Saturday morning, and enjoyed some morning cuddles with Anna and Leo.  They never leave the room until I get up, instead they'll cuddle with me in beds (usually taking turns).  Those are my favourite moments with the cats :)

I went for a bike ride around lunch, and checked out the ponds and river by my house to see what birds were hanging around. I've been using Runtastic on my iphone to log my exercise, it syncs it over to MyFitnessPal and takes it into account on my calorie count.  Its a great app!

Some of the errands I did on Saturday including doing the flowers for the Altar at church:

Sacristy flowers

I finally found a pantry I liked for my kitchen, and so I purchased it and put it together on Saturday night. Its not a large pantry, I wanted a smaller one, and one that was dark to match the rest of my kitchen.  I had been having trouble finding a dark one that wasn't massive, so when I found this, I jumped on it.  Its not a high quality, but for what I paid, and what I was looking for, it fit the bill.  It also meant that I got to re-organize the rest of my cupboards, so that was one happy night for me! All that was missing was the label maker!

Sunday was church and a choir practice (Church Thanksgiving is next weekend, and Canadian Thanksgiving after that!), my bird watching fall course, and some cleaning.  Argo was also on TV, which I had been wanting to see for awhile.

Well, that was my weekend! How was yours?

P.S: Stephan comes back from Germany on Thursday, 3 MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!!

Happy Thursdays :)

I had a great day.

And it was all due to one special event............

a phone call in the morning before work, from Stephan in Germany. AND the realization that he comes home NEXT Thursday!

Only one more week!!

Man, that call just made my day :) Nothing beats the sound of his voice :)

Love this man!!

 

Weekend Recap

This weekend was another busy, but awesome weekend!  Although, I have to say, I'm look forward to a quiet weekend, and to sleeping in on Saturday!

On Friday night, I went to the Zack Brown Band Concert, and it did NOT disappoint! If you are a country fan, this is a must see!  I heard that there was a bad review, that he didn't interact with the crowd that much, and that is true.  But then again, the show was completely 100% about the music, and the musicians behind, and just showing off what they were all about it.  Which is what I like :)  I haven't been to all that many concerts, but I do know that I would rather be entertained by the music, then distracted by the theatrics of the show.  And these are high level musicans! I would definitely, DEFINITELY go to see them again.  In a heart beat.

After a short sleep, blamed on Leo attacking Anna all night and keeping me awake, I woke up early Saturday morning to go and do this with a girlfriend from work:

After horseback riding (with sore muscles I haven't used in years!), I went over to my friend Karina's house, and hung out with her and her daughter Paityn, and ordered some pizza.

Sunday was church, and then my bird watching, and I spent the rest of the evening just relaxing and finally enjoying some down time. 

How was your weekend?
