Table for sale

Yesterday, Jeff and I went and found new lino to put in our two bathrooms. It was quite the exciting event as those bathroom need new flooring so bad. As you all know the downstairs bathroom was demolished by Cooper the dog and the upstairs bathroom has looked like someone stabbed the lino repeatedly since we have owned the house. But alas, I found out the lino can't be put in until Aug 14 becuase the company we hired can't do it until then. Sigh... So we can't get the upstairs toilet put back in until after that and the house will just remain a little messy. I just like to get things done and I guess that renovating has taught me to just be a little more patient. I think it as also made me just relax a bit more about the appearance of my home. I like to be neat and organized but I should just give it up for now because it is just not working. Right now Jeff and I are sleeping in the basement becuase it is just too hot upstairs and our living room has our old kitchen table in it. my house is just in disarray. Oh if anyone wants our old kitchen table let me know. we are trying to get rid of it! Anyways, bye for now.

Crazy

The dog tore up more lino. I'm gonna lose it.

Flowers and Puppies

So last night was so much fun. The concert was great and it was nice to be able to dance and laugh with Jeff as well as make fun of drunk people. Stabilo put on a great concert. When we saw them in Calgary the played Rocky Raccoon by the Beatles which was so sweet... my two favorite bands rolled into one. But they didn't have time and really they should be showing off their own music but it would have made my day.
Other than that, I'm just waiting for the phone to call to go to work. Being casual can have it's benefits like today is my third day off in a row but then I mostly end up working weekends. ON the other hand I rarely put in full time. One pay period I did work full time and I was so tired. I now have gained so much respect for Jeff as he works full time every week at a job that he doesn't like at all. Plus he's been there for two and a half years. His determination and hard work ethic amaze me as he provides for us. I just pray that as soon as I'm done school he will find the job of his dreams because he sure does deserve it.
I've also been amazing myself. I planted flowers in my dirt in the back yard and some have miraculously have stared to grow! I feel like a gardener. Even though a few have died already it has not deterred my enthusiasm.
Lastly I have picture of the puppy. I'm ready to kill him. He's already tried to rip up our brand new carpet, he's torn up lino in the bathroom, chewed the crap out of our plunger handle and peed in the house once. He has now become an outside dog for the remainder of his stay!

Fun and Games

So tonight I'm so pumped because Jeff and I are going to the Our Lady Peace concert but guess who's opening for them... Stabilo! Anyways, the band stayed at my parents house and got into town last night. Even though it was late we wanted to see Chris so we headed over and hung out for a bit. It's always nice to see my cousin! Anyways we had fun showing the guys the giant gong at the Japanese gardens and of course they had to ring it! Did anyone hear it last night... that was Jesse and Chris. Crazy guys! Well, they are all pretty cool and if you can still get tickets for tonight you should go becuase it's going to be one amazing concert!!

Nothing much.

So...life right now isn't all that interesting. I realized this when the highlight of my week was receiving our new garbage can from the city. You know, the big plastic one that the special truck picks up with this arm and dumps into the truck. Yes, once again technology is replacing humans. Isn't it wonderful? I suppose that this week should be interesting. I'm working this weekend and that always leaves me with fun and interesting stories and Jeff and I are taking care of his mom's dog Cooper. He's crazy and has too much energy. How will I ever be able to be a mom to a bunch of kids when I can't even keep up to a dog. Everyone ... when I do get pregnant... pray for me because I'll need the extra help! Speaking of prego... I went to my friend Kristi's baby shower. She's having a baby girl and it's so exciting. She's going to be such a great mom and she's so cute. We went swimming and Kristi wore her bikini. I think it is so awesome when pregnant women aren't afraid to show their belly. Anyways enough baby talk.

Operas

A few months ago Jeff told me that I had to make sure that I booked July 7th off of work because he had a surprise for me. Well I asked so many times what it was and he would never tell me. Well, it ended up that Jeff got tickets for us to go to Calgary to see The Phantom of the Opera! I was so excited because I'd never seen it before but I love the sound track and the movie. Plus my husband HATED the movie and I would have never guessed in a million years that he would do this for me. He is so thoughtful and wonderful. Anyways the play was amazing and absolutely perfect. The singing, acting, sets... it all was what I hoped for and more. I think I am totally hooked on live performances! It was also a good trip because I actually drove in Calgary which I'm terrified of but I've decided I need to face my fears! Anyways, in the end Jeff actually liked the play a lot and we both had a great evening!
