Happy Long Weekend!

I know I've been a little MIA as of late

but I can tell you that I am very happy that it's a long weekend.

I'm looking forward to completing some little projects around the homestead -

staining the deck, mowing the grass, drinking beer and reading my book

 (which is so much better than the first one - I must say!)

And getting to those things that never seem to get done.

The weather is promising to be spectacular so my hopes are high.

Enjoy and rejuvenate!

P.S. I planted some lavender this year in a pot.

It doesn't look anything like the above photo

(actually, it doesn't look like anything at all yet)

but I'm hoping it grows!

It's Friday Friday...

Happy Friday all!

No big plans for us this weekend.

I'm thinking some of this:

A little of this:

And definitely this:

Yay for weekend!

Hope yours is great!



This week has been deadly.

By the time I get home at the end of the day,

it feels like my brain has been twisted in knots.

It's very unpleasant.

So I'm very happy that it's Friday

and we have some fun, if unconventional, plans for the weekend.

Fella looked at me the other day and suddenly said,

"Grrraaavdiggah!!"

My first thought was of these gents:

Now if you aren't a fan of Buffy, this image means nothing to you.

(But I'm encouraging you to watch the series in it's entirety.

Some seasons are weaker than others but overall, it's brilliant and very funny.

These guys aren't gravediggers but they are who I thought of nonetheless.

I'm thinking it's something scary.

I was right about that.

This is what he was talking about:

That's right.

It's a monster truck.

That's what this girl is doing on Saturday night.

Do I know how to live or what?

Continuing with the unconventionality of my weekend,

we're going to meet some friends here for breakfast:

It's the Blue Heron Casino.

They have great breakfast!

(Apparently motorbike people that fella used to ride with used to meet here for breakfast before their rides. It was good value or something.)

That will leave Sunday open for relaxation and mental preparation another week of crazy.

Next Friday I'm off so we can do something for my upcoming birthday.

Don't know yet what that will be.

We were supposed to go to Mexico so I could feel better about 40 while sitting on the beach

but that's out because we can't afford it.

(although the prices are dropping as Canadians keep reporting back on the various horrors they've experienced as of late. It's not looking good for Mexico's tourism.

I chalk it up to being in the wrong place at the wrong time and think you can't condemn an entire country for a few incidents. It happens everywhere.)

Anyway - if you have any brillian thoughts on how I could celebrate my birthday, do dish!

Speaking of dishes, Winterlicious will be on so that might be one option...

Happy Friday All!

 

Ok so....

I haven't been blogging much lately.

I have been under the weather

but more importantly,

not myself.

(which makes it hard to write about yourself - when you've grown unsure of who that self is.)

But I feel like I'm coming up for air

and starting to pull things together again.

So this weekend

(if this feeling of a cold coming on vamooses as it should)

we're going to go the the Aberfoyle Antique Show

and then I have to hightail it back into town to sing at a wedding

and I'm hopeful that I'll get some pictures hung

or maybe curtains

since I've been meaning to do it for weeks.

I'm looking forward to the drive in the country tomorrow - it's always nice to get out of the city and breathe some fresh air.

And you?
