Yesterday, we went to my parents’ house for a BBQ for Mother’s Day.

I think Gwen’s favourite part was playing with all my mom’s metal cook/bakeware. Read the rest of this entry »

Pardon my non-existant blogging over the past week … we’ve been crazy busy here!

Brad’s been working insane hours getting ready for a launch at work, and we hosted his brother, Dave, and his girlfriend, Lindsey, Thursday and Friday and a bit of Saturday! I had a great time hanging out with them and at the end of the visit, we couldn’t decide who was entertaining who: was Gwen entertaining them or were they entertaining her?

My iBook has pretty well gone CAPUT!, so I haven’t any uploaded pictures to show you all. Oh, they’re on my iBook, but it takes about 10 minutes for a webpage to even show up! In light of this recent laptop activity, Brad and I are heading to Future Shop tonight to pick me up one of these.

Um, I’m excited. Like, really excited.

EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

… from my sister Jenny’s blog. Wuhoo for stolen blog fodder!

I can’t get to sleep without:
Brushing my teeth!! But seriously, at this stage in my life (with a 3-month-old and all), I can fall asleep every night just fine, thank you!

If I were a doll, the accessories packaged with me would be:
Gwen, ring sling (or babywearing accessory of some sort), laptop

I have an irrational fear of:
Being attacked by a man while I’m walking somewhere (maybe that’s not irrational?)

At my grandparents house I usually eat:
Ummm … I remember once eating really nasty soup, does that count?

When I was born I weighed:
7 lbs something (Jenny, you were in the 7’s, too!)

I am most opposed to:
Commercialism, war, abortion, the “cry-it-out” method

On myspace I like to stalk:
Me no have no myspace. On Facebook, I often stalk my sisters =)

I am too old to be:
In grade school - or even high school, for that matter!

I find the thought of childbirth:
Exciting and empowering!

Next door to my house is:
Railroad tracks. Like RIGHT next door.

My feet are:
Flat. I need orthopedic shoes =(

My preferred style of jeans are:
Blue ones that have a bit of flare

I know how to cook:
Quite a bit of stuff!! That doesn’t mean I’ve been doing it lately, though …

I am annoyed at:
The fact that I can’t get anything done during the day anymore. I’ve realized I’m a ‘doing’ person and that not be able to ‘do’ drives me bonkers! I’m also annoyed that our house isn’t completely unpacked/set-up, even after being here for months and months …

Men should always:
Hold the door for women =)

Women should never:
Talk about others behind their backs (please remind me of this)

The scariest sea creature is:
Sharks

The world is over populated with:
Cell phones

I recently broke:
Hmm … I can’t remember!

I last cried because:
A girl I love very much is in a very difficult situation

My favorite shoes are:
My birkenstocks (that’s right. I wear birkenstocks)

As a parent my greatest fear is:
Being too selfish and my kids knowing it

When I think of Full House:
I think of the time I tried to start a club like the one in the book Phone Call from a Flamingo - did you even know there was a Full House Stephanie book series??

So, it’s Friday! I’m not entirely sure how it managed to get here so quickly, but anyways, it’s here! Brad’s still cranking out school work that needs to be done before we leave and I, thankfully, finished both papers that needed to get done *sigh of relief* We go to my parent’s tonight in order to leave for the airport at 7:30 tomorrow morning (via a shuttle thinger. maybe a limo? I’m not too sure!). I’ll be bringing my lappy, so maybe I’ll sneak a pic or two onto the blog while we’re gone. We’ll be thinking of you all!! (I say that now … please don’t be offended if I forget as I’m sure the beach, pool, tours, and all-inclusive food and drinks will be demanding a LOT of my attention not to mention the wedding of my big sister!!! I can’t wait to welcome my soon-to-be brother-in-law into the family!)

BTW, for those of you interested in my knitting, I’ve put Brad’s hat on hold for the moment (can’t get more yarn, so it would be silly to take it with) and I’m going to be casting on for some wrist warmer for our far-too-cold apartment. Hopefully I can crank the two pairs out over the next week (the pattern says they’re ‘one day wristwarmers’ - we’ll see!!) I’m using a boring white/gray yarn - but it’s soft, so they should be uber-comfy.
