I swear!
Last week I had my shopping excursions trying to find the perfect outfit and all accessories. When that was accomplished, I had a ladies movie night out, which was a lot of fun.

Friday night we dropped the dogs off at my mom’s and made our way out to Ottawa. Loved it! The train ride was pleasant, the hotel was awesome, I met a lot of cool people, ate lots of good food, and enjoyed the first snowfall of the year.

I looked awesome in my dress and got a few pictures. I met some famous people and had a glass of wine back in their hotel room. Yes, my husband was there too, it was a wonderful last night there. I bet it was my sense of style that got us in that room, haha!

Special shout out to Steph1186 and Rogey Pogey for babysitting me while my husband was speaking at a conference. I can’t wait to see you again! We can share empire biscuits, and trade stories about our escalator woes. PS, I got that book I was looking for – 34% off online so it was a good call on waiting! Oh, and it was the author of said book who we shared wine with back at the hotel. I’m sure I can get an autograph.

Alright, back to the rest. The best part of the hotel, by far was the king size bed. I need to invest in one of those in the near future. A close second would be the hot water. I had the longest shower ever, and the water stayed hot. It just needed a big spa bathtub and I would have stayed in there a lot longer. A whole day, maybe!

I also experienced one of the best pieces of cheesecake I’ve ever had. I described it as “orgasmic” and haven’t been forgiven for that yet. Seems it’s the butt of every joke now. Oh well, I’d say it again for another piece!

The train ride back was interesting. Smith Falls and Kingston were hit with some snowstorms. I’ll have my hubby put up some photos later. We listened to a child read out loud to her grandmother. Children’s books these days seem very erotic. Thankfully, this was the tail end of the journey and we didn’t hear the outcome of that story.

Tuesday was my birthday, and for special reasons this was by far the best birthday ever. The only thing that was missing was chocolate cake. And my sisters. But there are no phones or Internet connections in Hell, I’m told. They’ll be out of there soon, and all will be right in the world.

Last night I finally got a break. So naturally, I sat down and watched Christmas movies.

Hope all is well with you, and keep busy! The days seem to fly by that way.

As I always say, I have been super busy these last few months. First off, I’ve been working two jobs for my company and have barely a chance to breathe. Hard work doesn’t go unnoticed though, I have been given a new title, a new desk, a new computer and a new phone.

It’s finally slowing down, and the work is steady. No more stress there. Life is good. Now I have a chance to catch up on some personal things.

So, my weekend. On Friday night, I went to see New Moon again (this is now the third time). A friend and I went hoping that the crowds wouldn’t be as bad as they were that first night. At least this time, we sat in the back row, so there was no one behind us kicking our chairs and repeating “what did she just say?” over and over again. The girl in front of us, however, was constantly on her cell phone, having no respect for anyone else in the theatre. Why pay that much money to see a movie to ruin it by sending text messages throughout the whole thing?

Saturday, the husband and I cleaned house. Literally. Every single nook and cranny, whatever that means, was washed and sprayed with chemicals galore. Our house smells like a rain forest now. We also decluttered. I got out all of the Christmas decorations as well. The tree is up but not decorated yet. We’ll do that throughout the week or next weekend. This weekend coming up, we are going on a trip. I’m sure I’ll blog about that one later.

Yesterday, mostly I just took care of my husband who unfortunately came down with a bug. He slept pretty well all day. Oh and I spent about $200 on groceries because that’s how long it’s been since we had decent food in the house.

My weekend was very productive, how about yours?

I’ve been so busy these days, as you know. The problem is that I’m busy doing things that I don’t really care to do.

So this weekend will be different. I will finish two books that I have started already, I will review them both and then my official October reads can begin.

I’m also going to attempt to knit. Should be funny. Maybe while I laugh at myself I’ll learn to appreciate the art of knitting, who knows? Potential is endless. I’m not going to fool myself though, as long as I knit a few samplers proving to myself that I can knit some basic stitches, then that will be enough for me.

Once I get those down, maybe I’ll be well on my way to making a blanket. But I need to think in baby steps or I won’t even start the samplers.

I’m also going to write a blog post. I have a few ideas for posts but haven’t made the time to type them up. So this weekend, I will make the time! I will try my hardest.

Also, I would like to see a movie. No idea what movie, I think any will do.

Do you have any plans for the weekend? Perhaps involving a cottage? Painting your house? Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling? Let’s hear it!
