Slice of Life - Day 83

Busy. Busy. Busy!

Today started out with a drive out to North Vancouver with my sister where I purchased a new piece of furniture that I am in love with. The problem with being a craigslist stalker is that you see things that you don't need but just love and end up buying them. It is currently sitting in the shed but after I do a couple things to it will wind up either in my scrapbook room or the guest room... and will one day go in our babies room.

Once coming home and explaining to my very patient husband that I just needed it I had a conference call with the powers that be in the Buckcherry camp at Warner Music Group and then went off to lunch and more shopping in Langley with Brendan. We went to Future Shop and purchased a new deep freeze to put our pet food in... then to Pet Smart for a new dog lead for the backyard and to look at all the options for keeping Kalli restrained in our cars and for keeping our cars clean. Next we hit Costco for contacts and I honestly think it was the only time that we have gone to Costco and didn't pig out on "samples". Amazing! We finally bought a new bathroom scale so that we could weigh our dog mostly (shes 50 pounds!) and I got a new JD Robb book!! :) After picking up the freezer from the Langley depot we came home and took Kalli for a walk where she injured me nicely.. apparently she does not appreciate me swinging on the swings at the park. Lesson learned! Then we watched the rest of the hockey game... go Canucks go! Then got Chinese for dinner and the new Bond movie on dvd...

Now I'm off to bed with my new book... here's hoping I don't stay up all night reading it!

Slice of Life - Day 82

Funny, we had so much going on today starting with me being wide awake and getting up at 6am to clean my house... Kalli being a brat and getting into the neighbours yard at 7am and me chasing her around for a half hour... a trip with Brendan and Kalli to the dog park, a nice lunch at Look Watts Cooking on the beach... a drive out to Delta and Vancouver to buy some furniture I found on craigslist... the yummiest pizza for dinner at Lombardo's with Paul and Christina... then finally a movie in Richmond on the way home... yet I didn't take any photographs except for a dog at the dog park taken with my blackberry. Weird!

So here it is... a photo of Kalli's friend Mick at Dogwood carrying around a stick so monstrous that he could barely hold his head up :)
































And a movie ad for the movie we went to see...

Slice of Life - Day 79

Today was uneventful, tonight we went out to dinner with Chris and Brea, then went to a movie... We had planned to see Duplicity with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen but we ran late and had to pick something else instead. The boys wanted to see Watchmen but Brea and I didn't and I had picked Duplicty so she picked Knowing with Nicholas Cage. Uhm bad pick (sorry Breaface - I still heart you). It wasn't completely terrible but uh I wouldn't recommend it... at least not to see in theatre.

We had left Kalli tied up at home while we were out because she has taken to destroying - and I mean that literally - everything she can get her teeth on when were not home. This is what we saw when we walked in the door. :)

Slice of Life - Day 78

So today I spent my morning in the hospital and my afternoon antique shopping. I have been on the hunt for a few metal flower frogs for a while and was considering purchasing them on ebay but the shipping is a little pricey due to how heavy they are. So I have been wanting to drive out to Fort Langley to check out an antique mall that I used to go wander around in after school and on weekends when I lived there. It is made up of a bunch of different peoples stalls all blending into one vintage mess basically... but a beautiful mess I must say. I found 5 different frogs... all basically the same but different sizes... they weren't the exact ones I was looking for but I bought a couple anyway. These ones have a green plastic base and the ones I really want have a metal base and usually have a nice patina due to their age and the fact that they spend lots of their time in a vase full of water. I tried a few more shops there and then went out to Cloverdale where I found one more like what I wanted. So I came home with three of them, none exactly right but all will work and the third one is pretty close.

Then I caught up on some tv shows I have missed and Brendan had downloaded for me... the first being Greys Anatomy which was awesome and made me cry. B got home as that one was ending and sat and watched two episodes of Criminal Minds with me. Somewhere during the first one of those I had an allergy attack which was bad enough that I had to take stupid Benadryl...boo... and that is the reason this post is late... although its supposed to be non-drowsy it always messes me up and I passed out. Brendan nicely took a photo of my passed out self but when I woke up I was too drowsy to post here... so that is why it is late :)

Slice of Life - Day 77

77 days of photos... wow!

Today I was playing with Bun-Bun on Brendan's desk and Kalli was not impressed at all to have my attention on someone (or something) other than her... :)
