2 weeks of random-ness!

Holy smokes.  I have seriously neglected this blog for 2 weeks... crap!  How do I update the past 2 weeks?  A post full of randoms is how!  So, here we go!

Random #1 - I have been sick with a cold for 2 weeks and 2 days.  Blech.  James has been sick with same cold for a few days less than that.  Laine had it for about 4-5 days and missed a bunch of school, and Harley has had it for about a week now... poor little man, just gets over his flu and then gets hit with this!  It is a nasty one too!

Random #2 - Being sick has influenced some major couch lounging lately.  That part has been great. hee heeeee!

Random #3 - I have a major love on for polka dots lately.  Here is some recently purchased proof...

I bought the black one at Home Depot and the green one at Michaels... looooove them.  Lots and lots.

Love these too...

Yep, I could not leave the store without these babies.  Well I did, then I went back to look at them again 10 minutes later.  That time they had to come with me.  It would make me really happy if they were as comfortable as they are cute... need to break them in a little! lol  Love!!

I ordered this tone on tone polka dot paper by Bo Bunny Press last week, can't wait to get it!  I think I got it in every colour too... yummmmy!

Yep, major polka dot love happening.  Polka dots are just so happy!

Random #4 - We got some stools for our kitchen a few weeks ago.  Right before Harley's birthday.  I wanted some retro vinyl diner style stools.  I tracked these down ...best I could do locally.  I want to re-cover them in lime green vinyl.  Just need to find some first!  They were only $40 in the automotive department at Canadian Tire! HA!  They go perfect with the industrial touches we have happening through out the house!  Love having some stools on that side of the counter! 

Random #5 - I have a cool plan for the end of that cabinet... hopefully I can share a picture in a few days!

Random #6 - James' parents were up for a bit a few weeks ago.  It was so cool to have them up here!  Lots of visiting, and hanging out... fun!  It was our nieces birthday party the day after Harley's so it was a busy family fun filled couple of days!  ALSO, thanks to my mother in law, I have this bad boy sitting in my scrap room now!  I have got to play with it a few times already and it is AMAZING!  I love it!  Thank you Annette... you totally shouldn't have... you are crazy! he heeee  ;-)

Random #7 - Yesterday was our 8th Anniversary!  Time has flown by!  I can't believe it has been 8 years already!  We had an awesome day... alone, no kids!  During the day we just hung out, had some yummy lunch, did some shopping... just enjoyed each other.  Then in the evening we went bowling! (we kicked each others butt's equally) ha ha, then we had dinner (yummy yummy prime rib) then after that we went to a late show.  We saw 21... goooood movie!  It was the perfect day!  It was awesome just being together (as much as I love my children, hanging out together just us was perfect!) ...and much needed! lol

Random #8 - Yesterday was also my calendar day in the Autumn Leaves DW 2008 Calendar!  Of course I was super excited when I was assigned April 22nd... so of course I had to do a page to celebrate our Anniversary!  It was done so long ago (again, crazy how time flies!), that it is a page celebrating our 7th... but still super fun!

Random #8 - Updated picture of Piper... who is growing like a weed, and is constantly getting into trouble! lol  We are on week 5 of Puppy Kindergarten... now that has been interesting! LOL  She couldn't be bothered with learning after we get there, she just wants to play!

Random #9 - Yesterday during our adventures, I did this...

ahhhhhhhhhh!  Can you believe it?!  I have wanted a Monroe piercing for soooooo long, but I am constantly talking myself out of it!  James surprised me by going in and asking all of the questions (I was too chicken to even step foot into the shop! ha ha), then 2 hours later I went back and got it done!  Soooo can't believe I finally did it!  It did hurt... but totally not as bad as I imagined.  The pinching of the clamp definitely hurt the most.  It is still a little red and a little bit swollen, but totally not bad for the day after in my opinion!

Yes mom... I know you hate it! he heeeee 

I LOVE it! 

OK... now that I have probably grossed you all out with my new piercing, I should get going for now!  Gotta refresh Piper for her puppy class tonight.  Not that it matters, cause as soon as we get there all she cares about is the other puppies! he heee!

Later! :-)

your mom and mom-in-law are too cute!

Thanks for the update Jen... you have such a rockin' style! I'd never in a million do the piercing, I had a hard enough time with the ears- and only once, but it totally suits you!

I bought some b&w polka dot flats on my recent trip to the states...love them, hubby thinks they look like kid's shoes. Maybe if I found some heels like yours he'd change his tune?

Dont you love that we still know Mum's dont like these things. My mum doesnt like it when I colour my hair brown. It cracks me up.. brown.. Mum.. not exactly living on the edge. I just smile sweetly and say .. hey.. at least you dont have to look at my tatoo.. (she is worried! rotfl).. no tatoo - I am too scared! LOL

I like the piercing.. its cute! and the stools rock!
