Lloyds little friend



Lloyd found a little friend on the Crab apple blossom yesterday. Cute huh? He named it Syd little. By the way Val and Tess - this friend is NOT a tosser ;) - and he is welcome to store his boat in my workshop all winter long ;) Oh AND he can come visit as often as he likes!!! Mind you HE isn't likely to ignore me completely, make offensive comments about breastfeeding or about women in general or just be a completely jerk!. Nope definitely NOT a tosser ;)

I love you Lloyd - even if your friends are dorky :)

Thought I should add that the reason for my rant is because after storing his boat and jetski all winter long for him, Lloyds charming friend (gggrrrr) came over to get it last week. I was watering the strawberries not 10 metres away....hard to miss lol....I smiled and waved.....he didn't even acknowledge me...no smile, no hello......no how are you Jane?....didn't even bother to look my way. I mean what the hell am I???? Hired help?????????? Its my house and workshop too you know......It was me that let him store his stuff for free all winter long too you know.....How rude and obnoxious is that??????

JERK.

My weekend

My weekend catch-up!! Friday turned out to be so much fun! Well, it started out to be hellish! Sam wasn't well Friday morning. He screamed ALL morning! About ants! Normally he loves bugs of all kinds. He catches them, cares for them. Watches them. But after he hallucinated about them the other night, he hasn't liked them at all. So Friday morning he saw an ant in the kitchen and started freaking out. Refused to walk on the floors. Refused to sit at the table. Refused to go anywhere. Cried and screamed. Wanted to be carried EVERYWHERE. Would not let me leave him alone. Even had Abby carrying him. Just screamed constantly.

In the end I had to just leave him on the bed crying for a few minutes while I had a break for a shower. I just needed a break. By lunchtime I managed to get him to come outside. He refused to get dressed but he did ut some shoes on and come outside. By 2pm he was willing to come and look at the ant hills and by the time Lloyd came home he was fine and back down by the hives with me and had forgotten his fears thank GAWD!!!!!

I was exhausted by then though!!! Definitely needed a night out!!!

And what a night out it was lol!!!!

Val picked me up at 5pm and we headed in to town. Met Tess at 5:45pm at the scrapbook store and we headed to the big yard sale at Clover Bar Ranch. All our plans had changed because we had found out that day that the yard sale was a week earlier than normal. It's normally the last weekend in May! Oh well -w e all wanted to go so that was fine! We got there just after 6pm and didn't leave until 9pm!!! It's a whole subdivision (new housing estate) of garage sales (like car boot sales but out of their garages) and you walk from one to the other all evening.

It wasn't as good as normal as not many houses had sales but we still managed to find bargains and had so much fun chatting and looking. I think Tess thinks I'm a little bit crazy - she laughed at one point and said she was a little bit scared to see me drunk!!! Hahahaha! Thankfully Val is used to my wacky sense of humour and just tends to roll her eyes ;)

I got plenty of books (at least enough to annoy Lloyd with). I also found a lovely white rocking chair for the front porch ($10!!!!) and a dish thing for strawberries....not sure what you'd call it - but it is shaped like a basket but its china and it has strawberries in a design around it. Val says its very me :) and that was 50c :)

After the yard sale we went to East Side Marios and had dinner and Bellini's it was a lovely evening! I had such a fun evening - so lovely to spend the evening with Val and Tess! Thanks so much both of you for coming out! And thank you for sharing the funnel cake with me - that was amazingly delicious!!!! YUM!!!! :)

We have to do it again soon! Charlynn!! Cori!!! Sharon!!! And anyone else Everyone else!!! You should all come and join us :)

Off to have dinner and then I'll write about Saturday!!! :)

Taking it home....



This is a bit of a dig at a certain post on LP...but yet another reason I'm glad we have the Expedition! I think the kayak would look a bit silly on a little car!!! And with the amount of junk and dirty paddles and everything else we cart back in the back of this vehicle, it gets a LOT of use :) Some people just don't have a clue!

By the way I though 'luv to scrap' meant 'luv to scrapbook' duh at me!!!! It obviously means 'luvs to scrap ie fight!!!!

Kayaking






This afternoon we took the kayak out on to South Cooking Lake. It took a bit of persuading to get Lloyd to go out as he thought it was going to rain or be too cold, but it was lovely out there - the kids had a blast and so did we :) We'll probably ache tomorrow but it will be worth it :)
