Trippin' out

Gary and I are cruisin'! We've decided that after 10 years we finally deserve a real vacation. One where we are not visiting family or driving to cottage country. So, instead of our original plan of driving to Calgary to visit Matt, we're going on a cruise. Gary returned from his business trip in Florida pumped about Disney World. Well, there's no way we could afford to top the 4 days he spent in one of the top Disney World resorts, but I thought a cruise might! And they are surprisingly affordable. We'll be spending 4 nights on the Sovereign of the Seas, then 1-2 days at Magic Kingdom/Epcot on our return. I'll be sure to get a picture of Gary and Goofy.

Happy birthday!

...to me! It was a good one. In standard fashion, Gary and I stayed up until midnight so I could open my present (okay, I stayed up and woke him up later). He got me a pink Nintendo DS...so unexpected...and the best gift ever! I think he was trying to tell me something though with his choice of game...Brain Age 2. It says right on the box:
Keep your brain young and sharp
I was kind of insulted until I found out my brain age is 48!

If you know me, you know I love food...so, the next best part of the day was roti for lunch and Red Lobster for dinner...Ultimate Feast all the way!

And then I was very excited for the lunar eclipse tonight...I went out and got film today (yes, I said film). My camera died 20 minutes before it was to start, so I ran out to Shopper's to get a new battery. Only to remember just as I was walking back in the door that it's not until next Wednesday!

Well, now I have something to be excited for all over again!

Winter wonderland...

I can't wait for the snow tomorrow! Yeah, right! At least, for once, Gary will be home. He will finally get to shovel for the first time this year! I hope it snows a lot...I had to shovel four times last weekend.

So, I'm working on my family tree again (4 years in the making!) My grandmother lent me a box of old family photos to scan, and I have to post one to show how beautiful my Grandmother is!

Long time no see...

Ha! Well, I guess I did give up quite quickly....

You must excuse me though, as June 14 would have been about the time I started planning my wedding. Yes, mine.... I did all the organizing, he did some of the heavy lifting. It was a great time though, and turned out to be exactly what we wanted after 9 years of flip-flopping (Vegas, Caribbean, cottage country weekend, in-laws backyard...the Little White Chapel in North Carolina). Our thanks to my Dad for making it possible, and our wonderful wedding party for all their efforts.

So, my last post said I had good news (as you may have guessed by now, no I'm not pregnant). I vaguely remember what the news was, and I think it will happen this month....and no, I'm still not pregnant.
