We need to go back to work.

Why?

Because we’ve spent more money in 2 days than we did in the entire past 2 months

It’s all for the house though!

I guess you could say we are…nesting.

My passport has been applied for.  The woman who assisted me was far less than helpful. BUT we were in an out in 15 minutes so I don’t have much to complain about.

The rest of the day was spent shopping for flowers!!

We ended up at a store Jeff never lets me go into (because it’s a nick back shop where we can EASILY leave spending a mortgage payment).

…And we almost did

We found some fantastic iron art to hang on our shed and fence outside!

Some futterblies (aka butterflies):

Playing leapfrog…

And for our herb pots:

We saw the “I’ve Soiled Myself” and knew immediately that was US.  That’s just our humour!

We also picked up some annuals which I will photograph tomorrow once they are planted!

After our shopping frenzy we went to a little movie called THE AVENGERS!  In 3D of course!

I enjoyed a chocolate banana yogen fruz! My favourite!

The movie was absolutely incredible!  Super action packed and very funny in some parts.

What the Hulk did to Thor, I could have done to the woman at the passport office this morning EASILY.

Very fashionable don’t you think?

After the movie we got home and I started making pizza!

It was 9:00pm before we finally ate supper but it was worth the wait!

Asparagus, portabello mushroom and goat cheese pizza! Recipe to come!

Well now it’s 9:54 pm and we are watching Bill Mahar!  The scent of freshly made whole grain banana bread is wafting into my nostrils

Goodnight dear friends.

What. A. Day.

We are pooped.

My day started just before 4:00 AM (yes, 4:00 AM) when I made dining reservations for our trip to Disney World in November!  Boo ya!  We got every reservation for every restaurant we wanted at every time we wanted!  It helps to be organized

After that we ate breakfast…

Bees Knees peanut butter and banana flax toast!

After that, at about 7:00am it was time to get to work!

4 yards of soil was delivered…APPARENTLY my husband thought he was ordering enough soil to cover the White House’s yard.  We had WAY too much soil!!!

Far too many wheelbarrow loads later we headed out to Rona, Princess Auto, Costco (TWICE) and Home Depot!

Before we left though I had a quick snack which was a few spoonfuls of greek yogurt!

We were both starving about an hour into our shopping trip so we stopped at Subway for a crappy sub.  I say it was a crappy sub because it was a crappy sub.  Subway’s got nothin’ on QUIZNOS let me tell you right now

I had a veggie sub.  Mediocre at very best people.  Photo courtesy of crappy iPhone.

When we got home we got to work immediately for another 4 hours.

More wheel barrow loads, planting grass seed, filling our new planter boxes, hanging an address sign made for us last year, building platforms for planter boxes, painting platforms for planter boxes, laying mulch, more wheel barrow loads AND feeding the grass and “our babies.”

Well folks, it was ugly at times but we are still married and in love It’s true what they say you know.  If you can make it through long days filled with renos, you can make it through just about anything.

After we showered away 9.5 hours of fifth it was time to BBQ some homemade thai chili turkey burgers.

I love that face more than I will ever be able to explain to you.

I ate half of this huge burger and some fries.  Other than that I didn’t have much of an appetite.  Perhaps too much sun.

That takes me to now.

I’m off to fill out a passport application!

It was a long, long day.

Goodnight.

Holy swear words Batman it has been a busy day!

Jeff and I are taking a super extra long weekend starting today at 4:00 PM and as such, Murphy’s law, I have a lot on my plate to clear up before my time off.

Needless to say, I got to work, sat down, looked up at my computer and it was LUNCH already!

But before I get to that goodness I will start with my breakfast goodness!

In the bowl glass (shaken not stirred anyone? ) are some blubes, rasps, Optimum slim (which happens to my favourite cereal and is becoming increasingly more difficult to find in this city!!) and banana.

A thing of beauty.

AND now for lunch

Today I thought I was doing pretty good as far as “traditional pickings” are concerned but I got the “holy cow you have the strangest food combinations” comment again

On the plate is a chicken & asparagus panini (recipe to come!), grilled asparagus, corn on the cob and a leftover red pepper “corner”.

Gooey goat cheese…

Not photographed is a small bowl of pineapple and strawbes!

Well now I am off to tie up some loose ends and then it is EXTRA MAY LONG WEEKEND TIME!

Tomorrow we are have 4 yards of soil delivered (to finish our other garden beds) and then I can plant my “Butt Squash” and some flowers.

OH and did I mention I actually took the ENTIRE day off so I could book our Advanced Dining Reservations for Disney World(which will take all over 30 minutes TOPS?) Yep.  Welcome to loserville.  Population ME

See you tomorrow!
