We ran into town this morning for some groceries - trying to make do until we head to Costco on Monday.
On the way home we ran to Callingwood Cove or whatever it's called to get Susannah from the birthday sleepover party she went to from school yesterday! She had fun - they all looked very tired! We headed home and then I set to work with Chris to sort out his wig and make up for his play! Then I drove him to school and he is now at school getting ready for his play this afternoon - first of about 5 performances I think over the next two weeks.
We are going to watch this afternoons performance.
Tonight I am invited to the first of a Stampers 12 get together that I'm taking part in - it's at Tess's house in Edmonton and I'm really hoping to get there! Tess is doing a class I think :) It sounds like fun and I have met almost everyone that is going so it sounds like fun! I have stopped taking the tylenol 3's but we forgot to pick up the Advil (duh!!) so I have no painkillers! So I will see how I feel after Chris's play! I can always stop off on my way out I guess!
I bought the new WW magazine on Thursday and there is a recipe in if for these wraps so I bought the ingredients this morning and we made them for lunch - I thought the kids would love them in their school lunches - its 1 soft tortilla spread with hummus and then filled with coleslaw mix (ie diced up white and red cabbage and carrot). I bought the red pepper hummus from Sobeys as it's a little less fat and yummier! Anyway these wraps are GORGEOUS!!!! I bought the wholewheat wraps and the size I bought works out to 2 points for the entire wrap!!! Not bad for a big sandwich for lunch :) Very filling and nutritious!!!
I don't count points or anything in fact I'm not dieting as such as I have absolutely NO appetite with these tablets but I like WW magazine and the recipes and exercise part and am still hoping to lose some weight for summer with these tablets - but thought I'd post about the recipe because I know quite a few of my blog readers are doing WW right now! The recipe in the magazine says 1 point for a mini tortilla but I couldn't find the mini fat free tortillas in Sobeys and found the large wholewheat ones to be more filling and nutritious anyway!
Work starts outside on the new kitchen this week - moving the air conditioning unit - gas lines etc etc.....they have marked out where the kitchen will end with posts etc and it looks huge and weird from the posts but hard to picture in my head because it will be a walk-out so where the posts are will actually be kind of 'upstairs' and where the deck will be. All very weird and strange and odd for me to think about. The workmen were here for ages on Thursday and that was annoying so what on earth I will be like when they are here EVERY day I have no idea :( STRESSED is an understatement. The gas guy was laughing at how stressed I looked and was saying about how much mud there was going to be everywhere and how I was going to have to get used to having mud everywhere. I must have looked a bit upset!!!! :(
For some reason I had this picture in my head that the front of our property would stay all nice and neat and lovely looking and all the mess and mud and building work would stay all contained at the back. But now the gas lines have to be dug at the front......which does upset me...but then Lloyd said - well you do realise the trucks are going to have to drive up the driveway and across the front lawn anyway????? The front is going to look a mess anyway too!!! Well no, I hadn't thought of that to be honest. I was expecting the front to be our private little quiet and clean area for the summer away from the noise and mess. Thank Gawd we are getting the rough mower for the tractor - I think I will get Lloyd to cut the grass up on the side field up towards Marys land - then we can just picnic up there and play up there and try and forget all the mess and noise by the house. Or maybe I will just sit down by my bees and listen to their hum and meditate on that.
