1.What books and/or magazines did I read this month? Artful Blogging, Creating Keepsakes (last one of my 2 year subscription - I'm not renewing as I no longer scrapbook), and a pile of magazines Sharon gave me that I am still working through (thank you Sharon!! xxx)
2.What movies, television shows, plays, etc. did I watch this month? I went to see Bridesmaids at the movies with Susannah. It was FANTASTIC!!!! I still keep laughing about certain scenes now!!! It is sooooo funny! I want to go and see it again!! Totally recommend it :) I also finally watched Tangled with Sam and Abby - we've had the dvd for ages but I hadn't seen it before. Apart from that I didn't watch any tv or movies as far as I can remember.
3. What fun things did I do with my family and/or friends? Wow....sooooo much!! breakfast out with Val and Tara, brunch with JoAnne and JP, dinner with Sharon, date nights with each of my children individually - wonderful!! A weekend to myself which was lovely and relaxing! An evening on Whyte Ave with Samantha, an evening in the library coffee shop with Samantha, a trip out to Katies Crossing with Cori....coffee and the antiques mall with Ki, dinner out with JoAnne, farmers market with the kids, homeschool park days with friends - I'm sure I'm forgetting things....if I haven't mentioned something I'm sorry..it's been a fantastic and wonderfully busy month :) I feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful month :)
4. What gifts did I give and/ or receive? The gift of friendship xxx That has been the biggest gift I think this month...I have felt truly blessed this last month to have such wonderful friends to spend time with...and also to meet several new friends this month!! I treated Laurence and Susannah to some special concert tickets they wanted as a thank you for being so amazing over the last year....I gave some of my art work away to friends...pieces I had made for them...I also have two packages to go off to friends in the US...Oh and I gave Sharon something she didn't like as well as some things she DID like...which was soooo funny because it was like we were doing a deal in the parking lot hahaha!! And Tara was kind enough to give Abigail a HUGE bag of clothes - Tara is now Abigails favourite person :)
5.What special or unusual purchases did I make? I bought tickets to go and see Wicked on stage at the Jubilee :) I can't wait as I have wanted to see that show for a VERY long time :)
6. What illnesses or health concerns did I have? Stomach flu...and then some strange sickness that made me throw up for 4 days :(
7.What were my accomplishments this month? I sold two quads and the trailer!! :) By myself! I made appointments to see a mortgage specialist and start my rrsp's on my own....I stopped procrastinating on a lot of things and got organized...We managed to unblock the VERY blocked toilet without calling in a plumber.
8.What were my disappointments this month? Christopher continued to show a lack of personal responsibility which is a shame for himself as much as anything.....Lloyd continues to try to cause problems which is delaying my chances of buying the house I want...he is also still trying to control me...and gets petty and nasty when I don't let him get to me....it's funny really but disappointing that he can't get the help he needs so we can move forward. Mosquitoes are really bad this year and spoiling the enjoyment of being outside.
9.Anything else noteworthy to include? It was a fabulous month. I hope June continues to be as happy and positive!!! Have a great month everyone!!
