Ready For a Trip! (Oct.15, 2018)

It was weigh in day for me today.

 

Finally - back into the 250's.

I was so happy to see this especially seeing as I ate so late last night.

My breakfast!

 

10 am coffee break is becoming a thing.

My Honey texted me right at this time to see if BN was dog fuggin' and I took this picture to send as proof that yes, he most certainly was.

It's nice to get together and chat and catch up a little.

I'll have to let BL know that his idea to start this was awesome!

Lunch was a chicken breast and a salad kit.

It tasted pretty darn good.

The afternoon went by fast.

Seems it always does when I am heading out on vacation and I have lots of things to do.

I still have a full day tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be able to get all the things done that I want to.

When I got home, I got busy right away.

I got laundry started, cleaned the kitty litter and started packing.

 

It will be my first time using my new suitcase!

It's really roomy so I think we will be able to share and save ourselves $60 bucks ($30 each way).

 

I stopped at the store on the way home to get a frozen pizza for My Honey.

I'll get the oven warmed up but I can wait and put the pizza in when he gets home.

They don't take long to cook and that way it will be nice and hot for him.

 

I considered dying my hair by myself, my roots are really showing.

I was nervous because I'd never done it before but what's the worst that could happen?

 

As much as I needed it, I decided to skip it tonight and I'll get my sister or My Honey to do it after we get there.

 

I'll just take it with me and I'll be good to go - this is the color I'm going to go with this time.

Just one less thing to worry about.

 

I made myself a pumpkin flax kodiak cake for supper along with a couple of eggs and some sliced turkey breast.

Perfect supper!

 

I got some blog catch up done so I am all up to date and ready to go.

I will just need to add a few toiletries to my bag in the morning and that's it!

I watched The Block tonight, it was Hallway & Laundry reveal.

Sticks and Wombat finally won a room and I was so happy for them!!!

 

I stayed up late waiting to check in.

It was kind of a pain because we used some WestJet points to purchase our flights which meant that we had to book separately.

In turn that meant that we had to check in separately so My Honey and I did it at the same time each on our own computers so we could make sure that we were sitting beside each other.

 

I think WestJet needs to look into changing that.

Just my opinion.

 

Anyway, once we were finally checked in, I was able to go to bed.

It was a late day but I'll be full of excitement tomorrow so I don't imagine it will affect me too much.

 

 

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!

 

Chillaxing Day! (Oct.14, 2018)

Today was a pretty chill day.

I slept in a bit this morning, staying up until 1 am sure isn't as easy as it used to be! 



I snapped a quick picture of my completed puzzle before taking it apart and putting it away.

I settled in with an episode of When Calls the Heart and a coffee.

I tried another new kind of pancakes.

They were really good even though I scorched them a little.

They had whole oats in them which I liked.

I made eggs and turkey to do with them again - a plate loaded with protein right there.

I was kind of in the mood for puzzles so I found a couple more and did them.

I did one with 150 pcs, it was pretty easy.

Then I pulled at a 300 piece one.

It was a bit more challenging but I finished it in about an hour.

I warmed up left over instant mashed potatoes and a chicken breast for my lunch.

I looks pretty bland but it did taste good.

I didn't get up to much today.

I made a trip to the store to pick up salad kits for the two days that I am going to work this week.

I wanted to make sure My Honey had a good meal to come home to so I got everything ready to start cooking at 7.

I wanted it to be warm for him.

He didn't figure he was going to be late today but then something came up so it was after 8:30 when he finally got home.

I tried to emulate the brussel sprouts that I love so much at Original Joes.

I fried up bacon then added some pickled peppers right in the pan and fried them a bit too.

I steamed the brussel sprouts then threw them into the bacon grease in the pan.

I added the bacon & peppers back then I added some white cheddar popcorn seasoning as well.

I totally forgot to add the parmesan cheese while they were still warm so when I did add it, it didn't melt but it was still good.

It's the closest I've come to matching and it tasted really good.

I also boiled up the baby potatoes and My Honey cooked up the steak when he got home.

I am hoping that eating so late doesn't mess with my weigh in tomorrow.

I will have to weigh in for the week before we leave on Tuesday so I am hoping to be down.

My Honey has been working late everyday and he is really tired so after we ate, we hit the sack.

I saw these t-shirts on Facebook and I just love them!

OUCH!

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!

First Time Babysitting Baby F! (Oct.13, 2018)

I woke up at 6:30 am when My Honey left for work and there was no going back to sleep so I just went with it.

I found a movie to watch on Netflix and settled in with my coffee.

It was a cute little Christmas movie.

After the movie I made myself breakfast.

I tried these this morning, they were yummy - the pumpkin flax is still my fave though.

I cooked up a couple of eggs and some turkey to go with it and it was delicious.

Shortly after I ate, Miss H texted to see if I could come watch Baby F while she went to the hospital.

Her incision from he C-section is infected and it opened a little this morning and was bleeding.

Of course I'll go over to visit this beauty for any reason at all so I was there in a flash.

She was chilling in her swing when I got there.

She was decked out in her Halloween sleeper today.

Giving me a little wink.

Is there such a thing as too many baby pictures?

In my humble opinion, absolutely not!

We took a couple of selfies.

She was pretty happy about the whole situation.

Then I cuddled her right in and doesn't she look happy?

We stayed together this way until her mommy got home.

The doctor took a swab of her infection and that was about all he could do.

She has an appointment on Monday with her regular doctor to get a follow up so hopefully everything will be ok.

I went back home and Paddington found a new spot to hang out.

My brother called to see if I could watch Mr H while they went on a movie date night and I said sure.

First thing he wanted was My Honey's magic toolbox.

I told him he could pick one thing so he picked a harmonica.

Then he wanted to exchange that for something else.

Choice number two.

It wasn't long before he wanted an exchange again so I let him pick one more and this lizard was his final choice.

While he was doing that, I got out a little puzzle for us to do.

It's been a long time since I've made a puzzle and I don't know why because I enjoy them.

Mr H does too and he helped out a little.

He actually understand about how to fit the pieces together by their shapes and by what the picture is on them.

I had a brownie in a cup for a snack then my son called to say they'd decided to go out.

They'd asked me to sit for them tonight so they could go see Crash Test Dummies in WCT so I had my brother take mom to the airport as she flies out to NS tonight.

Then this morning, Miss H wasn't sure if she would be up to it but she was.

So I got Mr H ready, grabbed something to eat and headed over there.

Little miss was very content in her swing when we arrived.

I brought a salad kit with me, mixed it up and added a piece of chicken.

Mr H found a bag of crispers so he had snacks too.

After I fed her, she snuggled on the couch with Mr H & I.

He just loves her and is very sweet & gentle with her.

He likes to give her lots of kisses.

I tried to get him to change into his pj's but didn't have much luck.

When my brother came to pick him up, he just put his boots on and figured he was good to go.

(He wasn't of course, it was super cold outside!)

He is showing off his super gecko muscles here, ha ha!

After he left, Baby F & I watched a Christmas movie together.

It was right around midnight when they got home from the show and my brother arrived home right around the same time which was great for me.

I sleep better when I know they are all home safe & sound.

I arrived home to an empty house surprisingly.

My Honey ended up having to work super duper late tonight.

Poor guy is going to be so tired.

I figured they would have taken them out some supper but they didn't so I whipped up some instant mashed potatoes for him and he warmed up some chicken breast that I'd cooked today.

He ate then we immediately went to bed.

6 am is going to come very quickly!

We tried a corn maze once and they are quite tough - think I could manage this one though, ha ha!

More Facebook memories popped up from our NS trip back in 2014.

The leaves were in all their splendid fall colors and it was so beautiful.

I am so looking forward to getting there next week and being able to see them in all their glory again.

We took my nephews to a small town that does up these pumpkin people every year.

The theme was The Eighties.

There's Beetlejuice

Not sure who this is supposed to be?

This is my all time favorite picture of Mr D.

He is such a little charmer, he's goofy too.

Mr E wanted in on the silliness too.

Funny faces.

They got new Thomas hats.

They thought they were great!

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!
