Yes, it's that time of year again...YAY!..SPRING AS FINALLY ARRIVED! (knocks on wood)
I always look forward to when I can get the dogs to their salon for their spring cleaning. As we have such harsh winters, we make sure they have a thick winter parka on to go outside to do their business. As you can see:
HERE THEY ARE IN THEIR WINTER PARKA'S....
HERE THEY ARE IN THEIR NEW SPRING APPAREL........
YES, THEY ARE THE SAME TWO DOGS LOL....MY HAIRLESS WONDERS!!
Woke up sat with a scratchy throat. I knew it wouldn't be long till the full blown anarchy in my body kicked in. Untill then, I would enjoy my saturday out.
It was a beautiful sunny day and I was looking forward to getting a nice housewarming gift for one of my closest friends. We were going over to see the house they just moved into in Jan. We also had another purpose, to baptise thier new bbq with a yummy steak supper.
Francine is the friend who came and helped me by staying here the weekend right after I got out of the hospital as Chris had to work. She hadn't seen me since that time. We live over an hour apart so we don't see eachother often.
When she saw me should couldn't believe the change already. I am now at 39lbs lost...It does show now and it's been fun finding clothes in the closet that I haven't been able to wear for years. Loose feels good..even baggy in the ass looks good to me lol.......I digress..
Anyway.. earlier, Chris and I went to Pier One Imports...I love alot of their stuff. We found some great black metal candle bases and got 3, (big, med and small) and bought some awesome textured cylinder candles to fit on each. The big one was atleast a foot high and 6 inches across with 3 wicks in it..with the other 2 graduating smaller in size. Made for a really nice grouping. Oh and they smell devine, (sable) was the scent.
It was so nice to see their house and spend time with my friend. They have a really nice little house perfect for the 2 of them. We had a great supper and gabbed till it was time to get home for the sitter.
When we did, my sitter mentioned that, in the last 2 yrs since she has worked for us, it was the first time I had gone out to spend supper or an evening with friends. She was right....although we will miss Chris' old schedule of working weekends...it does make a difference for others that we will be free to go out weekends now.
So sundays dawns with a more then scratchy throat. I try to head this thing off at the pass with my inhalers...only used when sick. Anarchy is brewing for sure..spend sunday night up coughing...finally slept around 6am monday so got up too late to get in to the clinic...still hoping I could avoid the unavoidable...
Bronkitis with a side of sinus infection for good measure ..I just knew it. Always all or nothing with me lol.
Got in to see the doc today..to have that confirmed. So atleast I am being medicated. Whoop Yay...cough hack cough.
My friend Sue tagged me with this. Now normally I have always refused to do any kind of meme on my blog. This is actually the first time in 3 yrs of having my blog that I have consented to doing one.
I figured, 5 things...that should be short and easy. I was wrong. 5 is alot when u have been writting in your blog for 3 years lol, When I actually thought about it, I had to scratch my head more then once.
1- I left home at the age of 16. Worked my way across Canada trying to get as far away from family as possible...(KIDDING MOM) it just happened that way.
2- Almost got myself killed in Mexico, (NOT KIDDING MOM) long story short, wrong place wrong time...I used my head and can write about it now.
3- Used to be a hairdresser in a salon in Alberta, when I came out east I first lived in Toronto. One of my regular clients/friend actually paid for my return flight to go back to Alberta to perm and cut his hair......I stayed and partyed with my friends a week and flew back lol..His perm/haircut had cost him aproximately $600 ...this was about 22 yrs ago. (MOM DIDN'T RAISE A STUPID GIRL, SO I WENT)
4- I once sang in a Coffee House in Toronto. A bluezy song with my friend acompanying me on his guitar. It went over well. (GOT MY SINGING VOICE FROM MOM...HER WHOLE FAMILY IS MUSICAL)
5- Last but no least...I have always been odd in that my body is what some called double jointed (this doesn't exist but it's a term often used) I can pop out my hip or my arm from their sockettes, u can actually hear it or if u have your hand there, u can feel it lol...I KNOW I'M A FREAK...(hmm, seems I've been proving that more and more lately)
Anyway, I have always been able to do weird stuff. My head does the Egyptien but can also move around with face forwards ofcourse in a way that looks like it's not attached to my neck lol, I scares small children lol. Everyone freaks when they see me do it. It's hard to explain unless I did it for u. (MOM, THIS IS PARTLY YOUR FAULT, YOU BORE ME)
If anyone has noticed a reoccuring theme here...well, my MOM aka (MAMAN to us) has become one of my biggest blog fans. She hasn't ventured into comment mode yes as she is a slow 2 finger typer still. I am proud of her though, up untill recently she had no idea how to turn a computer on. BRAVO MAMAN!
HERE THEY ARE IN THEIR NEW SPRING APPAREL........
