More snow is on the way for the weekend. I am off this weekend so I look forward to some R&R.
I am going grad dress shopping with my grade eight this weekend and other than that probably watching the final olympics and the closing ceremonies.
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Monday!!
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I worked so I did not get much accomplished on the home front. Today will be a day of "catch up" with household chores.
I would like to get to the gym today, that may happen in the evening after all the work is done.
Have a great start to the week!!
Cheers!!

Today is Family Day, which means we have a long weekend. My family has decided to go bowling today.........I would rather do something outside but I was out numbered by my family.

We will have a liesure breakfast/lunch, I guess that would be "brunch" and then head out for the afternoon. I will make a good chicken goulash with naan bread for dinner and then we will settle in for an evening of olympics as we have done since they began. It will be two weeks of minimal production from my family with the olympics running but it is a fun thing to watch!!



Enjoy your families today!!



Cheers

Happy Saturday!!

I hope you all have a weekend full of fun planned. We are going to relax and do some family stuff.

I made some almond milk yesterday, a very easy process and it is yummy too!! I put it on my cereal this morning and in my coffee, a nice nutty taste. I managed to find a milk nut bag or a "paint strainer" bag at the paint store. Two dollars and forty five cents, it washes up nicely and really works well. I was reading about the benefits of almond milk, you can buy it in most grocery stores but there are additives in it. The milk I made only lasts 4-5 days in the refrigerator, I made too much this first time because I was not sure how much milk I would get. The pulp that was left in the milk nut bag I put on a baking sheet and will dry it and use it to sprinkle on my cereal or yogurt, you can use it in baking as well to get a bit of a nutty taste.

I am going to do some sewing and crocheting this weekend and I am into a good book right now so I have lots of things to keep me busy, and the laundry, cooking and grocery shopping. I am crocheting a bath mat for the washroom now. I want to sew some small change purses, I have some leather I want to experiment with as well.

I have a cat at home this weekend with a splint. She had surgery to reduce her fractured arm yesterday and today she is hobbling around with a big splint. She is suppose to keep it on for 4-6 weeks but I am not sure how that will work out. She is eating and drinking well so I am sure she will get used to her stiff bandaged up leg by the end of the weekend and will be happy again. I was so sad when I brought her home yesterday and she was unsure how to move around but she was happy to be back in her house and her purring put a smile back on my face.
Happy Weekend,

Cheers

Happy Thursday!!


Hope everyone is enjoying their day. I am just doing a few house chores and then out to do some errands. The job I was hoping for fell through so I was a little bummed about that!!! It was not meant to be I guess........just carry on.


I am on the hunt for a fun spring coat, I have seen a few but the fabric or pattern has not been quite right. I will continue my hunt until the right one catches my eye.


Just a quiet day, nothing exciting. The weekend of Love is approaching, we will go out for dinner with the family and then just chill the rest of the weekend. It is Family Day holiday on Monday so we will have to do some "family" thing!


Cheers

Happy Monday!!


Hope everyone enjoyed the SuperBowl last evening...it was a good game....I'm not much of a fan but it was exciting for New Orleans!!


It is a sunny today, it feels good.......


I am looking forward to Florida in a couple of weeks, some sun and warmth!!


We have had a very good winter thus far but the warmth is what I crave.


Cheers!!

TGIF......I am doing laundry today and I have been to the gym. Today was the first time to the gym all week......bad bad.....I did an hour cardio workout. I have to attempt better attendance next week......


I made cranberry muffins last night, I made 14 of them and there are only this many left.....they are not sweet, very little sugar and made with whole wheat flour but the cranberries make them moist and they do fill the hunger gap nicely...........the kids seem to like them and my husband must have taken some to work.....next time I am going to use blueberries or raspberries!!


Going for lunch with my gal pals today and then taking my girls shopping tonight.


Have a great weekend!!


Cheers

Thought I would share my facial routine with you. Wash daily with Spectro gel and then I moisturize with Oil of Olay during the day and Neo Strata at bedtime. Sometimes I put some vitamin E cream under my eyes..........






It is a beautiful sunny day today. A good day for a walk. I have been doing a few little projects in the evening, lots of crocheting and some sewing. I want to get some more crocheting ideas and patterns.....I do not know how to read crocheting patterns so a tutorial on line with a video might be best.



Enjoy your crafting!!



Cheers!!

Happy February 1!!
Today I am preparing for my interview for a new position in a department I am already working in. Wish me luck!!
I hope to do some sewing today to help relieve some stress and I want to go buy some new yarn for my crocheting projects.
Yesterday was chore day, I completed the household laundry, visited with my Dad, did the grocery shopping and made some cinnamon buns for breakfast and some yummy potato soup for dinner. Hot soup, lemon poppy seed cake and hot tea for dinner, that really hit the spot, I had the chills all day and that dinner really warmed me up inside.
Have a wonderful day....don't forget to change your calendar!!
Cheers!!
