Wonderful Wednesday!

Good Morning Blog Friends!

What are you up to today? I want to know ALL about it!

My day started off like it usually does...coffee, boys to school...I have the day off...but I had physio @ 0830. Oh the horror. My physiotherapist is actually quite lovely. She always says 'How are you feeling today' and when I tell her, 'blah blah blah pain here, pain there, blah blah blah' she gives me this knowing little smirk, I can't tell if that look in her eyes is one of sympathy or satisfaction...in any case, she went easy on me today. HALLELUJAH!

Along with my ironing obsession (Rosie), I have a small obsession with making sure my fingernails are painted on my days off, and a medium obsession with changing my toenail lacquer colour 1 - 2 times per week...well who doesn't really. I pulled out my box of colours and (back)painstakingly buffed & polished. Colour du jour: Go On Green by OPI for my fingers...kind of a pale minty green and Light My Tiki by China Glaze for my toes, a bright sparkly summery orangey-coral colour.

{Note to self...Do not paint toes and put feet on floor when dogs are running around like crazies.}

Today is International Nursing Day. I'm laying low & resting til the gathering @ Brokeshopaholic's house. Yay! Back to work for 4 tomorrow.

Waiting to hear what YOUR wonderful Wednesday entails...

Haaaaaaaaleluujah!

I STILL have one more day off to go! WOOT!
Have you been wondering what I have been up to??? Well let me tell you...

Friday was Trifecta day. The trifectess who hosted surprised Ms Cupcake & I will little goody bags full of crafty goodness...so we drank coffee, giggle, gossiped & crafted. I LOVE Trifecta day! It's pure bliss! I love you Trifectesses!

Saturday we took the doggies to White Rock beach. Oh my little heart was so warmed to see them frolicking on the sand & in the waves!







I also picked up my new/old desk that morning! It was at an Estate sale...10 bucks! Solid wood! Boy is she going to get a makeover...she is going in the spare room downstairs and she is going to house a lovely new sewing machine!



While that was all very lovely, spending time sans kidlets with the hubby, coffee & chatting...Saturday afternoon takes the cake! Ms Cupcake & I went to meet our new great, sweet, thoughtful, funny, WONDERFUL friend from Roses & Rutabagas. She surprised us with a gorgeous little gifty each...don't be jealous...we have to do some reporting back to her on it, so it's kind of like work! ;) We spent two hours there just chatting & laughing. Then I took Ms Cupcake to the VV Boutique where she scored a lovely little end table.

Today, busy, typical Monday...boys to school...I went to Rotary...2 miles. (LOVE my new runners!) Went to massage therapy...again, don't be jelz...it's not a lovely relaxing massage, it's very soft tissue manipulating...I hurt myself @ yoga 2 weeks back. As a result, the RMT said ABSOLUTELY NOT when I asked him if I could go to yoga in the morning :( Oh well, besides, I'm in pain....

I did however.....SEW! I made a reusable shopping tote (click link to see!)

And now my ass is firmly planted on the couch. The kidlets are in bed...the hubs is watching baseball...and I obviously, am blogging with my tea. Hugs to Ms C today. My thoughts were with you all day mon amie.

Dear friends in blogland, I wish you a restful Monday night!

everything happens for a reason. love, ROCKETGIRL. xo

there's a strange man in my house!

and he isn't stressy! or cranky! oh, that's cuz he just wrote his national red seal in plumbing. 4 years of school/apprenticeship all done. 3 weeks til we find out if he is a master journeyman plumber & gas fitter. obviously he passed, he's very proud of himself, as am i.

what a relief! no more school! or is there... UFV sent me a letter yesterday. "please attend the following information session for your LPN to BSN access program." SUGARSTICKS! i thought i had bona-fide decided NOT to go anymore, to be happy with the way things were, but now that i have this letter...OY! possible student again come september??? will keep you posted. thoughts? pro's & con's please.

jaimie is moving away, will miss my SIL. rosie has captured our hearts. roy & rosie are becoming fast friends. spring break is upon us...hope to do some lovely things with the boys...movies, bowling, lunching, baking and i also want to go to that place in van where you make & bake & take ceramics.

tlc baked today. fun fishy cupcakes. not fishy flavour...no no no, fishy decorated. see TLC for pics.

love, ROCKETGIRL, with Plumber for hire!

"i guess we're dog people"

...according to Mason.

Rosie is lovely. she is so chubby & funny. sharp little baby teeth, raspy little baby bark, which i think we have heard no more than 5 times. oh does it make me giggle. she is doing wonderfully with her crate training. she goes in at night, whines to pee...runs straight to the paper, then goes back in her crate. YESSSSS! take that Roy!

busy week ahead...not with work...thankfully. hoping the weather stays comme ci comme ca so i can start on my end tables.



love, ROCKETGIRL

names that begin with R

needing your help...we quite possibly maybe potentially might be getting a new puppy today...same style as Roy, but different colour, and a girl. will keep you posted, it's a good week to get a new puppy as i only work 1.5 shifts and can be home to train...we shall see. in the meantime...needing cute names that start with "R" to complement little Roy's name...

love, ROCKETGIRL xo
