Well, here I am once again. Things have been a little crazy since I got back from Toronto a couple of weeks ago. Things may start getting back to some form of normal now...I hope. My parents have moved back to their own house, after living with me for the last six months while their home was rebuilt after a fire. It made things a little crazy around here, and a rather difficult to focus on tasks at hand, as we were in relatively close quarters. Not that my house is too small, just that we didn't really have our own space. It made it challenging trying to write anything on here as the computer is in the living room (temporarily) where everyone congregated. Some days it's hard enough getting a good train of thought...if it gets interrupted, forget it LOL!
I guess there's a lot to fill everyone in on since I last posted, maybe I'll spread it out over a couple of posts.
I got called back to work two weeks ago, yay!! Finally getting a paycheck coming in again, it's been an interesting eight months! To celebrate my return to the working world, I went on a shopping trip to Ottawa yesterday, with the three girls I get together with every month for a night of paper crafting. We had such a great day! We started out at my favourite scrapbook store, The Scrapbox, in Orleans. Yesterday was the Scrapbox's yard sale, ladies reserve tables and sell their less loved, (couldn't exactly say unwanted lol), craft supplies so they could buy some new ones. The girls and I planned our trip a couple of weeks ago, then I got the reminder the yardsale was happening...it was fate that we were meant to shop that day LOL! After The Scrapbox we headed to Multi Craft, another of my favourite crafty places. Who knew we could spend three and a half hours in only two stores! We decided to do lunch at Swiss Chalet on Bank st.. Our meal was good, but when Bev and I went to the bathroom before we left, I couldn't breath through my nose or I would have been sick, and I've got a strong stomach! I told the girls if anyone gets sick in the next couple days, check with the rest of us to make sure we don't have the same "illness"! Honestly I've never smelled anything so foul in my life...and I've smelled some pretty nasty stuff! A quick stop at the Herongate mall, (another not so lovely place), where Cathi and Bev bought some clothes, a look around Michaels at Silver City, an introduction to The Bulk Barn for Bev, a Starbucks and we were on our way home. It was a long day, I got home somewhere around 5 or 6, but oh such a good one!
I think I'll end there as this post is already getting a little long. Maybe my next post I'll show you a few more pictures of my granddaughter from last Sunday. I hope you're having a great weekend and I'll see you again soon. Cheers!
