We went shopping!

Tonight we shopping...needed to pick up Kristen's roller blind (which turned out to be defective so I need to exchange it) then we went to Mic Mac and got a few things, among them was the Band of Brothers DVD set which was only $66.87 at Zellers. Ran into Tyrone at Winners. He was so excited to see me. LOL Then we went to Leon's and bought our chair! It's going to be delivered on Thursday. It's SOOO comfy!! Paid almost half of it off already thanks to my SCDS pay from last week. :)

Weekend update

Kristen went with Kev & Lynda to Stanley on Saturday until Thursday (which I am loving!). Kaylee's been having a hard time getting to sleep lately. Her schedule has been off because of stuff we did this weekend. Yesterday she woke up at 7:15am after not going to bed until almost 12 the night before! Then she went for her nap at 10:45 and didn't wake up until 3pm then was totally asleep after her bottle at 8pm....she is still sleeping this morning! It's 9:15 for Pete's sake! I think it's great, although I got up at 8:25 because I needed to take a shower and didn't want her waking up during it and start crying. Guess I should'nt have worried!

We went looking at rocker/recliners on Saturday. Went to a few places but didn't see any we liked and Kristen was being a bug so we didn't go to all the places we were going to. I think Barry, Kaylee and I are going out tonight to look some more. So far there's one at Leon's that is really comfy, so we'll probably end up getting that. I'd love to get one that doesn't have to be too far from the wall though since our living room is kind of cramped.

The stagette party was fun! We went to East Side Mario's and I got the Tuscan Turkey Club sandwich with fries.. It was REALLY good. Only $13 with tax and tip too! Guess it's good I wasn't drinking or the bill would've been double that. The harbour cruise was wonderful...couldn't ask for better weather! It wasn't chilly at all and it was really neat to see all the houses on the water that you never get to see from the road. Saw a few big yachts too...wonder if any celebrities own them?

Off to add some pictures to the photo album. Don't forget to check it often for new ones!

Friday update

Kaylee just started drinking out of a sippy cup today! She was starting to sook and Kristen's cup of water was sitting there, so I handed it to her. Within a few seconds she was sucking on it! Made a face because she was expecting formula instead, but she still kept on drinking it!

So I finally made a layout with the picture of Grampie I took at his birthday party. I needed to use a kit that I got for being on a designers Creative Team, and it was perfect for the picture.



I was telling Michele yesterday about last weekend that was the grand re-opening of the site I started selling at. It did so well that I made over $400! It won't always be like that...there was a lot of advertising for the event and we had contests and a sale, so a lot of people came and bought stuff. So you see? This isn't just some silly hobby...I can truly make money from it!

And by the way, Michele, I really had a nice time last night! It's not too often we get visitors and I hope you didn't mind the mess. Did Chris end up telling you what they did last night? ;)

More teefers and news on Orbie

Kaylee has had her 4rd tooth break through (the second front one) and I can see some white on the gums next to the front one she already has out, so that'll be coming soon too! She's growing up too quick! I can't believe in less than 2 months she'll be a year old!

I'm not sure what to do...Orbie hasn't been eating much of anything lately. He wouldn't even eat one full treat tonight. He was sleeping on the ottoman and fell off then freaked out when Barry tried to pick him up. Maybe he was in a daze because he was still kind of sleeping...anyway, then when he got up to walk, he was walking to the side like he was drunk. Again, could be because he just woke up, I dunno. We can't afford vet visits, but I don't want him to suffer and die of liver failure because of dehydration. I don't go downstairs, so I haven't seen him eat or drink, but normally he gets his water from the bottom of the tub anyway. I don't know what to do! I haven't wanted him for a few years now, but it's just sad that my first "baby" might have something wrong with him. :(

A new blog!

So here it is! I figured since I was using Typepad anyway and it comes with 3 blogs, I'd use one for my personal stuff. I can have a photo album here so you won't have to go to Fotki to see recent pictures and you won't waste time looking at the crappy ones. LOL

Our Saturday

Here are a few pictures I took when we went to the boat races on Saturday. We didn't stay too long, only until the 2nd to last race. Barry wanted to leave for some reason so we went to Home Depot and picked up a new light fixture for the kitchen. We had a tiny ceiling fan in there (from previous owners) and we opted for a square oak fluorescent fixture instead. Not funky and modern like I wanted, but it had to go with the style of the kitchen. :(

A long overdue update

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated. Some exciting stuff is happening for me and my scrapping business and its taking a lot of work and time.

Isn't this picture sweet? Besides the cheeks, I think Kaylee looks a lot like I did when I was a kid...eyes and nose. Her hair is getting long enough that I'll have to start putting it up in a clip!

Kaylee got her 3rd tooth the day I went to Truro (23rd I think) It wasn't through when I left, but was when I came back! I don't have a picture of it yet, but I will soon!

She's getting better at crawling. She's getting really fast but still doesn't move one of her legs when she goes. She just loves putting anything and everything she can get hold of into her mouth including dust! Yuck!

Nothing much new on Kristen...she went camping a few weekends ago with Kev & Lynda and loved it even though the weather wasn't great. Barry took her to see the fireworks on July 1st where they met up with Dawn, Paul & Samantha, which Kristen loved. She didn't get to bed until 11pm but still managed to wake up at 5:30am as usual. She did take a 4 hour nap that afternoon though from 1-5pm. :)

Yesterday I drove to get groceries for the first time in forever, then after I came home and rested my feet a bit, I drove over to the body shop and left the car there, then walked back home. Not a huge walk, but long enough! The man offered me a drive home, but I said I needed the walk anyway. :) This job will cost $640 to fix the car, but luckily for us, Kev & Lynda are paying for it.The parts themselves are only less than $200...sucks!

I started hosting a weight loss challenge at one of the sites I sell my designs at on June 5th, and so far I have lost 13lbs! I finally started noticing my pants were a bit bigger just a few days ago.

Well, I guess that's it for another while! Barry is going back to Sydney tomorrow until Friday and then hopefully he'll be done!
