Catch-up in Bullet Form

A few things:

- last week was my 28th birthday, and B-rad planned a little party at East Side Mario's... where i ate way too much, and had a wonderful time - even if i couldn't drink the wine. Go Here for Paige's restaurant Review.

- i've realized that there's nothing like a balloon sculpture to make you feel about 7 years old again!
it's supposed to be a 'candle' people....

-
The next day i was 'ambushed by my sister in law and my friend Kate, a mini-surprise birthday with pizza and pop and cake and a girly movie about a girl who wore Too Many Bridesmaid's Dresses. A solid sugary predictable piece of filmery that was exactly what was called for. B-rad made himself scarce for the chickflick and installed out deck lights.

- I spent Wednesday of that week at my mom and dad's eating yet again. Another Birthday Celebration - a girl could get used to this, especially a pregnant one.

- my friend J and i attended our first pre-natal aquafit class

- Friday night some friends of ours arrived for the long weekend and we went out to Wanuskewin on Saturday and saw some Hoop Dancing, B-rad participated and learned how to make an Eagle out of hoops.

- i discovered that i'm still capable of hiking, somewhat, but am NOT capable of removing my own ticks.... Thankfully our friend was from the actual outback and knew what to do. He got that sucker off my leg in 2 seconds flat. Amazingly i was able to remain calm, as my first instinct was to freak out and scratch that fucker right off,....then somewhere in the back of my brain i remembered that that's a very bad idea, that they have to be 'removed'.... and to think, if i hadn't gone in to change into longer pants....who knows what would have happened!


- i hate ticks

- Nothing is open on Sunday's on the long weekend in my town... but we did manage to visit "THE" fleamarket... it was like everyone's garage sales under one roof!

- The farmer's market has the nicest Indian man who sold us Samosas and chutney. mm.

- Hot Dogs taste best when roasted over an open flame.

- Tempera paints are fun to play with, but when you're entire belly is covered with them ...it can itch quite a bit.

- Look Around You may be the best show on Youtube...

- WTF?? just when i thought that my girlfriend Scarlette Joho was practically perfect in every way, i discovered that....uhm... she released an album??? oh Scarlette.... you've disappointed me so...


How very Sinead O'Connor of you.... sad. Please, for all our sakes, just keep to acting and looking gorgeous all the time, and leave the vocal career for those who believe a song should be more than monotone chanting....

- migraines suck. Doubly so when you're knocked up.
