Slice of Life - Day 149

Bum-ble-bee...















Get it? Get it? Ha ;)

Slice of Life - Day 117

We made Nachos again tonight... I like this because we have fun making them together. They were yummy but oh my gosh, so filling.

Then we sat on the couch for hours catching up on all the episodes of House. While watching I looked over at us and had to giggle... us, two cats and a dog all snuggled on the couch together... how silly... and sweet.

Slice of Life - Day 88

Did nothing exciting today... didn't know what to take a photo of so I decided on the usual suspects.. the animals :)

I got them all in there... you can even see a blurry hopping bunny in the last one with Brendan and Zim. Zim used to always love B best but in the 6 months to a year has become more my cat. It is me she curls up with at night and sleeps with etc but today she totally was just wanting B so I wanted to document that.

I also wanted to get a photo of Patches... she is such a good easy cat... no complaints, no bad behaviors (well besides catching birds and bringing them in the house but that's a cat thing so I cant complain) and she almost gets "lost" in the chaos around here just because she doesn't ask for much. She doesn't break into the oven to get food, doesn't come wake me up every morning at 5am, doesn't chase the dog around the house etc. Sometimes I feel like she must feel that we don't give her much attention... but I love her to bits! I try to tell her but I'm just not sure she understands my meowing at her... I think she just might think I'm a little nuts :)

Slice of Life - Day 86

I did some Spring cleaning in our spare room closet today. I took all the junk out of it and then put a few bookcases in so that I could put all my books in there. I'm quite happy with how it turned out... I really like being able to see all my books and also really love that I have a couple shelves to store my purses on. Brendan is also happy because I organized all his computer stuff that he had stored in one huge box and gave it a home up on the top shelf so it is a lot easier for him to find things.

Zim seems to like hanging out in there too ;)

I wish I took a "before" shot so you could see the difference but I forgot.

Slice of Life - Day 85

Cute kitties... The beanie baby that Zimmie Zoo is holding is one of their baby toys from when they were first born. We put a few of them in their "crib" (box) to keep them company when Bonkie was out and about. They have just been stored in a basket since then and tonight when Zim was sleeping on top of my bookshelf I gave her one and she held it and licked it all clean then went to sleep with it :)

On the one that has only the beanie baby in focus she would hold it out to me and then pull her paw back and rub her face all over it before licking it some more... awwww!

Slice of Life - Day 72

Today was a weird day, woke up feeling like I had a ton of energy which was good because I had a lot to accomplish today... but then once I was actually up, I had energy but not for what I needed to do... only what I wanted to do :)

So instead of getting up and heading straight to the car wash place like I planned to get the Passat clean enough that I wouldn't be ashamed to be driving it I fiddled around on my laptop for around an hour... then took Kalli to Dogwood Park for a play. There weren't too many dogs there today so we just power walked around the forest a whole bunch and worked on some training.

I then took her home and went off in search of lunch, drove down to Timmies but decided that wasn't what I felt like to instead went and browsed around Pier One and Winners... I was a good girl and didn't buy anything... then I finally decided to go to Flying Wedge for lunch...

After I got home I thought that surely this was the time I would start doing what I needed to do but nope... instead I went in the back yard and played a bit with Kalli... then watched her and Zim chase each other around the backyard. I took a few shots of Zim and came inside and finally started cleaning the house.

I wasn't really feeling it at first but then finally got into it and became obsessed. I have been cleaning on and off for around the last 7 hours... washing the floors by hand, cleaned all the baseboards, washed down all the walls and cabinets in the kitchen. I sorted a bunch of stuff, finally worked on the wooden shelf I brought home like two weeks ago... cleaned the laundry room which for those of you who know how small it is probably sounds easy but oh man it was a pigsty... Tidied my scrapbook room... Then I washed some windows, washed all the covers for the couches and any throw cushions that have removable covers, washed the bedding from both the beds, cleaned the spare room, cleaned the linen closet where we keep our sheets and tablecloths (I cleaned the other linen closet last week). I even remembered to clean the top of the fridge which is rare for me because I always forget about it because I cant see that high... out of sight, out of mind!

Now I'm off to clean some more... :)

Slice of Life - Day 49

Things that are making me happy today:

• Clean (ish) Scraproom
• Buckcherry Wall (Canadian Dates announced, got tickets today!)
• Zimmie being my baby and needing to be where I am
• New Papa Roach Album (listening right now)
• Makeover of my scrapbook aisle at work that I decided to do at like 4 pm and had to work until 9pm by myself to finish... worth every extra minute, I actually like my aisle again :)
• Yummy lunch from Look Watts Cooking eaten by myself in the sunshine... hello Spring!

Yay for happy things!

Slice of Life - Day 46

Made some progress in my scrapbook room tonight, my desk is cleaned off, a couple piles sorted... the rest will be done tomorrow hopefully. It would be nice to be able to use this room for what it was intended for again someday soon.

Zim kept me company while I worked on it :)

Brendan remembered V-day this year... we had made a pact to "go small" and just buy each other something little, he asked for turtles (which he received x2) and I asked for my usual Starbucks mug to add to my ever growing collection which I received with the lovely addition of my favorite flowers all arranged in a vase while I was in the shower... sweet.

Slice of Life - Day 40

Do you think my babies missed me? All but the rabbit are laying somewhere on the couch with me - this never happens!

Sick today, seemed to have caught B's flu and I literally havent moved from this couch except to pee all day.
