So, I realized I haven't blogged in a very long time. Why you might ask what have I been up to? Well a whole lot of nothing-ness, but obviously little things here and there occurred thus keeping me mildly busy since last Friday. Friday evening we had a wonderful birthday dinner for Nick's mom. Consisting of delicious Greek food, followed by fruit salsa and homemade marble cake for dessert! Earlier that day I had been out with Nick's sister in law Jeneva, and we were discussing the dessert I would be making for supper that evening, and realized she is allergic to nuts, so I made certain that I did not make any desserts that came into contact with any nut what so ever. We had a blast that night hanging out with everyone. Jeneva (the crazy auntie that she is) along with her side kick Lauren (future crazy auntie#2) spoon fed Noah (age 1 1/2) spoonfuls of green icing along with cinnamon and sugar mixed together. Hey we figured if we weren't taking him home, we didn't have to deal with him right? Well Uncle Nick reaped the benefits of a hyper sugar filled red head toddler running around screaming in his high pitched squeal rolling on the floor and pile driving Uncle Nick. He took it in strides though and was laughing the whole time.
Saturday, uneventful in ways, I had the opportunity to sleep in a little bit, then continue on my day in the comfiest fashion possible, lulu's and a good ol' bunny hug.

Side note about the whole "bunny hug," situation. . . I get the weirdest looks from people around here when I call my "sweater" a bunny hug. Come on people, that's what it's called. And I will not conform to calling it a "pull over" a "hoodie" or whatever. Zip up's have hoods. . . they can be called hoodies, some coats have hoods, they can be called hoodies. A bunny hug is a bunny hug. . . deal with it.

Vent over. . . moving on :)

Saturday Nick and I, along with his mom, ventured to the airport hotel where we dropped her off for the evening. She was catching an early morning flight to that hot place in the desert to vacation until Christmas time. . . not that Nick and I were jealous or anything. . . we both strangely enjoy the plus 6 and rainy weather. . if sarcasm is heard in that statement, you are. . . wrrrrrr. .right. . .

Sunday morning after venturing to meet Nick, we went on to get some coffees and off to Church we went. Only to be harrassed for showing up with no coffee for the Pastor, and that it was Tim Horton's not Starbucks. My initial response was "I'm from Saskatchewan, I'm pretty sure we only have one Starbucks in the entire province" to which he responded "Fair enough. .". . I think it's safe to say I will always be a Tim Horton's junky. .
We continued to go our separate ways for the rest of the day. I spent my day with Nick's sister in law Danielle and her lil guy Noah (Remember the crazy red head from earlier) We hung out and wandered the mall, and once that part of my eventful day was over, I ventured to another suburb amongst the many to pick up my dear friend Cid, who happened to have a sleepover watching Pretty Woman at my place! She had never seen the movie, and seeing as Julia Roberts is one of my all time favorite actresses and that movie is ranked highly on my list of movies I love, I thought it was a definite must to watch. Again, it never let me down, I loved every moment of it.  As Cid stated, "I freaking LOVE pretty woman". . . Enough said.

Today, Monday, Cid and I slept in way late, got ourselves a cup of coffee and a yogurt, wandered the cute little shops along the streets in Maple Ridge, made people laugh, talked about good ol' Saskatchewan, made more people laugh, smile and enjoy the day, then ventured to her home land (one of them other suburbs) to which she left me for a . . . date, friend, boy, whatever you want to call it. I ventured home in the slow and i mean slow moving traffic. Got home, cleaned my house, went over to Nick's, had dinner, watched the tv show I recorded yesterday on the life of Prince William and his girly friend Kate Middleton. Watched a movie with Nick, came home to blog.

OH BY THE WAY DID I MENTION NICK HAS NOW DECIDED THAT MONDAY'S ARE FLOWER DAY FOR LAUREN :) :)
I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers today. Orange and red and white :) So pretty. He's great! He also bought me my favorite chocolates. After Eight Mints. . . :) He makes my heart smile :)

Anyways. . long enough blog. . . Bed time for me!

Until next time. . Keep fit and have fun!
