Priorities? oh well HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Again, quick post aka me procrastinating other things that NEED to be done.

It's Thursday but it feels like Saturday!  I love long weekends!  But this one there is a lot to be done.

First of all I'm still in my jammies un-showered and feel asleep at 10 last night instead of finishing the things on my "wed to do list".  Update Blog was on that list, so technically I'm just catching up!

I'm sure I had important things to write about yesterday, but today my thoughts are we are moving in 12 days - exactly 12 days and when i look around the house there is still stuff everywhere. Look for proof I just went and took a few shots:


Kitchen, spare bedroom, living room, office area.  So much stuff left, and so little time.  We are heading up to Meaford tomorrow afternoon/night to camp with paul's family.  And although we both really want to go and relax a bit.  I definitely think we I might regret not staying home to pack.

But you've gotta make time for fun right.  Cause when it comes down to it I know that i'll get the packing done plus if worse comes to worse, we can make trips back to the apartment to get boxes even after the 12th, we can just make sure the movers move all the big stuff.

Oh in other big news this week, I got myself an iphone! :) It went on sale a few weeks ago, and i've been thinking of getting one to make my commute a little easier.  So, after a long day at work, on a whim I went and got it.  I think Paul is happy that I won't be touching his anymore.  ha ha

Alright, its already quarter after 9, I have an hour to do so much! Gotta run!

ps: Happy Canada Day!  Last year at this time, I was relaxing pool side with these girls:


Wishing we were back there now!  Both of them are on vacation from teaching for the summer as of today. Super jealous I am.

Happy June 1st Day!

13 years ago I spent 90% of my summer at my grandpa's trailer.  We danced and sang and hung around the camp fire.  I kissed boys I only saw during the summer, ate tons of watermelon, and swam every day.  It was a fantastic summer.

I was 16 and having the time of my life. That summer we had my aunts old video camera and us girls (my sister, and my two cousins) would video tape ourselves dancing around on rainy days to "oldies" music.  We'd laugh and occasionally get into a fight, but it's a summer we will never forget. 

On one particular day that summer my cousin Ange had the video camera and was giving a play-by-play as she video taped around the room.  The camera's date in the corner of the screen said "June 1st".  "Happy June 1st day" she said, and ever since its been our special holiday.  Despite the fact that we've all forgotten since then that the day she saw "June 1st" on the camera wasn't even June 1st it was some random day in July, but we can't remember that random day so we celebrate today. 

Our own specially little holiday to kick of the camping season and a time to remember dancing around, falling off couches, endless laughing and being a kid in the summer. 


This is us at my cousin Sam's wedding a few years ago.  I wish I could find a picture of us from that summer but with all the packing going on around here, that's a lost cause.


Happy June 1st day girls!  Love you!
