Weekend Review

The weekend was fairly busy and yet I feel like I got nothing done! ? The weekend started Friday after work with the Street Legals, it was a good night with racing that lasted till about 11:30pm. A new Corvette hit the wall which caused a delay- we had to stop and clean it up but then it started raining so we just gave up and called the race. After racing we went out to BP's with some of the staff and didn't get home till 2am.



Then on Saturday my hubby started working in the garage early with his buddy and I headed off to St.Albert. I stopped in at my SIL's to pick up a bowl she had of mine and had a quick visit, then off to my Dad's for another quick visit and to drop off my camera for him to take on his trip. Then off to my scrapbook ladies house to pick up my prize and to purchase supplies for my winter projects. I spent a little more then I had expected but at least I shouldn't have to buy anything for a while! ? I was hoping to stop at the Farmers Market and make a few more visiting stops on my way but I started to feel like crap so I headed home. When I got home I started cleaning and got all my chores done before supper! The hubbies friend was still over and the were still working on his car so we had them (him and his girlfriend) over for supper and I decided to open a bottle of wine. I am now thinking that I should have left the wine alone! Another couple came over for a visit and so all three of us girls were sitting on the deck drinking wine while the boys were in the garage. We went through 7 bottles of wine!! We were up till 4am sitting around the fire talking and the next day I felt like total crap! My tummy was doing flip flops like crazy and I couldn't keep anything down! The only thing I had all day was a banana, half a pear, and some soup for supper. It was horrible! Needless to say I went to bed early!

On Monday I decided to put my fall/ Halloween stuff out and I washed my car. The hubbies friend helped him build a new shed for us cause he helped him on his car. We have to build this new shed to put all the stuff in it from the old shed, then tare down the old shed, side the garage and move the new shed back to where the old shed was. Pain in the butt if you ask me and I think the shed is going to be impossible to move after it is built!? My Mom also called yesterday to see if I had a passport but I told her that mine had expired a few years ago. She was going to buy tickets to Vegas for my b-day and take me with her but since I don't have a passport I can't go! ? :( Oh- well maybe next year!?

I was up again for most of last night with a gutt ache again!? It feels like heart burn, indigestion, and nausea all in one!? I feel like crap - I've got this gaggy feeling in my throat every time I stand up. I hate how on the days you feel like crap always seem to be the busiest!? The phone won't stop ringing which is making me get up to pick my orders!? grrr I hope I feel better tonight or it is going to be another long night?!

Fun Friday!

Rain, rain, go away ......

It seems like we have had nothing but rain for the past week!? Storm warnings and tornado warnings seem to be quite common now a days! We are suppose to be at the race track tonight for street legals but I'm thinking they are going to cancel them due to all the wet stuff falling out of the sky! ? Last night after I took my dog for her walk I was looking at my flowers and I was surprised to see that even with all this rain we have gotten they look like they might be drying out and dying? Maybe they need more sun? Maybe I planted then in the wrong spot in my flower beds? Who knows!? I think next year I will just stick too petunias they are way easier! ;) Oh, and speaking of my dog ... she seems to be doing much better, we have now had two nights in a row that we were not woken up by her coughing! Either she isn't coughing as much at night or I'm just so tried from lake of sleep that I just don't hear her anymore! ? ;)

Tomorrow we have a 75th birthday party to attend, hubbies Grandma. My in-laws are putting on a BBQ in their backyard and I'm in charge of bringing my salad! Hopefully the weather is nice for it. I was also invited to the hubbies cousins wedding shower that is going on tomorrow as well but unfortunately I can not attend. After the BBQ we were thinking of heading to the track and visiting with friends maybe have a few drinks with them! :0 I think it all depends on the weather though!? Here is 'my salad' recipe:

I still have not found my scrapbooks that I have been searching for and I am now almost certain that they must be at my Dads! It's either that or I loaned them to someone and forgot to get them back!? I did how ever find my "Treasure Album - School Days" book! It has all my school pics in it and class pics, I plan on scanning them and posting them on the school groups on Facebook. I was flipping through the book last night and was slightly surprised at how much of a pack rat I was as a kid, I have letters from friends and copies of my poor attendance record. I thought those books were to keep things that were accomplishments!? he he

THIS n THAT

A few months ago on my way home from work I noticed that a scrapbook store out here in the Park was going out of business and everything was on sale ! Now usually I get all my scrapbook stuff from Creative Memories but I thought I would check this store out and see if they had any good deals. I ended up picking up some new stencils, stickers and I thought I would try a "rub-on"!? I've seen these rub-ons before at places like Michael's and other corner scrapbook stores but Creative Memories doesn't offer them. I used one on the scrapbook I'm making for my dad - it was amazing!! OMG why hadn't I found THIS out sooner! I would have used them in all my scrapbooks! It looked so good, if you enjoy doing a little scrap booking you have got to try these !!

I tried my bathing suit on last night and it actually fit really good? Which leads me to believe that it must have looked like crap before! It was definitely not the right size for me when I was bigger?! I have another bathing suit that I also wanted to try on but I couldn't find it, now I'm trying to remember when I wore it last? It's been so long since I've worn it that I can't remember, plus my memory is the sh*ts anyway! LOL I'm actually really excited to go swimming this weekend, I was a little unsure if I even wanted to go at first but now I'm kinda looking forward to it!

There was a meeting last night for the racetrack but I never went, instead I took the dog for her walk and watched Beauty and the Geek! All the meeting was about was street legals and some people had to take their tech test. It sounds like they don't need me to work Sat and Sunday's, just Friday nights, so that's kinda good/ bad. It means more time for me on weekends but less money!

I can't really think of anything for the THAT part of today, so I thought if you want to know a little more about me you can check out my jobs website!
