My Thursday

I am so so tired...no energy to blog. No energy to upload all the pictures from today. It's been a good day though. Fun. Busy. we left the house at 8:55am and got home at 3pm and then I made dinner......I am even too tired to work on my Iron Chef projects although they are all I can think about!

Dinner is done. Kids are showered. I was dozing on the sofa with Lloyd but now I am off to soak in the bath..my hip hurts from doing too much today - I knew it would.

Tomorrow the man I love is 34. The funny thing is, he has spent the last few months thinking he was turning 35!!! I think thats funny :) So Happy Birthday Lloyd........I can't wait to give you your gifts baby :) And the best thing about your birthday is we are getting a Wow Factor birthday cake woohoo!!!!

Oh and I forgot to say that on Tuesday Lloyd was walking out of a meeting with his boss and the boss guy says to him 'I have to call Testing Automation (Lloyds company) and tell them that Lloyd Thorpe has been renewed for another year!'

Lloyd told him Lloyd would be pleased to hear that ;)

So they only made him wait a day from the interview before giving him the contract again and its renewable for another year after this year without re-interviewing :) So Lloyd is here in Edmonton working for another 2 years :) Good news :)

Lots to tell you about my day but it will have to wait until tomorrow!

Goodnight!

Date night......

Date night was nice last night.......we went to South Ed Common and reserved a table at Joeys Global and then headed off to Michaels where I stocked up on supplies for the Iron Chef Contest.........then back to Joeys where I had the Butter Chicken and Lloyd had the half rotisserie chicken.....

After that we stopped off and bought a mini vacuum cleaner...we got the Dyson mini one at Home Outfitters...I used it this afternoon for the first time and love it....so easy for the little bits here and there rather than dragging up the central vac from the basement (which I love but its still a pain!)

I also ran into Walmart (nightmare!!!!) and grabbed a few things including the latest issue of Canadian Scrapbooker - I had heard good things about it and I also wanted to get it because Anam is in it and its so cool to say 'I know her!' even though I actually have never met her!

Oh and a BIG thank you to Anam for taking so much time to try and help me find an old friend! Thank you thank you!!!!!

So I bought that and a few things I needed for preschool today....

That was date night......now the better weather is arriving we can do more fun things I guess......through the winter we seem to have done nothing but go for dinner and shop! So it will be good to get back to our drives and visits to the lake and walks and the farmers market etc etc......

But whatever we do.....a stroll, dinner, window shopping (last week), actual shopping (last night)........its just nice being just the two of us and having that time out child free :) LOVE my kids but time with just Lloyd is important :)

If you don't have a regular date night DO IT! It's important......your kids will one day leave home (that day will be here before you know it!) and then it will be just you and your hubby......so work on that relationship NOW...enjoy it......be more than husband and wife...be friends and enjoy alone time away from the bhouse and away from kids - and the rule is you DO NOT talk about the kids :)

Roller Derby part III

The roller derby sounds perfect Christie who is already loving it, but it would be just too much commitment for me...I am too much of a homebody to do anything like that....I wouldn't see Lloyd at all.....and I have to say that Sunday mornings for me tend to mean reading in bed in the morning......eventually curling up on my big chair to read some more and then eating marmalade on toast that Lloyd makes me!

We are THE most boring couple BUT I love it :)

That said, I can not WAIT to go and watch Christie in action :) It sounds like a blast!
