Are you there Bloggers? It's me, Amy...

It is not a good Wednesday. That is for sure. Both of the other admins are not here today so I'm flying solo--can't say I'm too impressed. Other then that, it's freezing cold and my house is a disaster once more since tyler brought more stuff from the other house last night--not to mention I had awful dreams last night. There! I got all of my complaining out of my system in less then 10 lines :) Now, putting it past me and continuing on with life! lol So onto some We Want to know Wednesday stuff :) I took this from Shan's sister lol: 1. Do you shop til you drop, or are you in and out as quick as possible?  Depends on where I am shopping, who I am with and what I am shopping for. I will never shop until I drop or am broke lol but I like to get everything bought at once so I don't have to run around shopping for the rest of the week! If I am with Tyler or someone else who doesn't want to be shopping though, I am in and out as quick as possible. 2. Are yo...

So I guess I'll just start with a little recap of my evening! After work and the hour long bus ride to get home, my dad was still there when I arrived. We visited for a few minutes before he headed out--we offered to take him out for dinner since he hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and I could hear his stomach rumbling! :( He said no and headed home--We then headed into Ottawa--Tyler dropped me off at the house on Blair and I finished off the bathroom--so the living room, bathroom and kitchen are now completely empty aside from a few things in the fridge and freezer! I gathered together some more clothes/coats and the last of the bathroom stuff and we headed out. We decided to go to Swiss Chalet for dinner, so on the way we stopped at Shan's to drop off a shower curtain and mat to her and invited her along to dinner and Dolly joined us as well (left the grocery store in the middle of shopping to join us, actually haha). After dinner, we brought Shan home and headed ...

What a crazy Monday morning! I am surprised I made it to work in one piece. If you had asked me 2 hours ago, I would have told you I shouldn't even be here, but things are looking up :) I hit the snooze button twice this morning (usually only hit it once) and woke up feeling sick to my stomach. I was so feverish I just spent 10 minutes in the bathroom leaning up again the tiled walls. I shut the heat off and put cold water on my face. It didn't get any better as I was getting ready. I seriously debated staying home but since it looks bad calling in sick Monday mornings (people always think "yah right--they just wanted to sleep in"), I decided to shove through it and get in the car. On the way to the car, I tripped and nearly sprained my ankle. I fell onto my freezing wet car instead of the alternative of the cold wet grass lol. Picked Dolly up only to find her morning isn't going much better. An hour and 20 minutes later, we were in subway fixing our morning. Ha...

Oh my gosh--it's finally here....FRIDAY :) heheh ( I was going to say TGIF but didn't want to sound too cliche this early in the morning). Last night after work was pretty uneventful! We took the hour long bus ride, I dropped Dolly off at home and I went home to visit with my dad for a few minutes (He was there helping to finish the washroom which is now pretty well complete and to put in my new sink and faucet). When he took off to go home, I also left and went to the furniture store and stopped at M&M Meatshop on the way home and picked up some of those broccoli and cheese stuffed potatoes and some pepper marinated sirloin steaks and made those and some peas and garlic bread for dinner. Oh my were they ever good! Definitely pick some up if you ever shop there! (I love M&M!). While I was cooking supper, Tyler decided to take a bath--and since all of our big towels are still at the other place, he had to call Doll to bring us some over lol. So over she came :) ( what ...

Cake. That's all I want to eat right now is a little bit of cake (or a lot, depending on the kind). Instead, I opted for an egg white and sausage breakfast sandwhich on an english muffin from Subway (which by the way has delicious breakfast if you ever want to try it) and it's pretty good for you! (in comparison to tim hortons). Those of you on weight watchers should try it as they're very low in points! So last weekend Tyler started dismantling our above ground pool (next summer, we want to move it closer to the house and put a nice deck around it , etc). So he got the top ring of connectors off with my dads help and those are put away. Long story short, it's been sitting like that (just the steel and support bars on the sides) for the past almost week now. Last night and today we are having huge wind gusts (feels like tornado winds) and I looked out the bedroom window this mornign to find it all folded in on itself. Hopefully everything is ok or just a few pieces are...

So I stole this idea from Shannon for todays blog! With the holiday season quickly approaching, I don't want to think much about my wish list (as usual) so here's a list of things I want--understandably somethings are obviously going to be purchased by myself and Tyler but regardless of that, I still want them! haha So here we go: we'll tackle some cheap stuff first :): - Step Brothers on Blu Ray - Couples Retreat on Blu Ray - T-fal Actifry Deep Fryer - More of my Hot Couture perfume by Givenchy (Been wearing it for years and it's the only perfume I don't get sick of--plus, it's Ty fav:)) -Chanel No. 5 Perfume (used to steal this to wear from my sister and I think it's about time I owned my own) -A set of clear mugs! -Some sweaters by BENCH (LOVE them because they're long, warm and fit so well!) -Newest season of One Tree Hill on Blu Ray Now onto a little bit pricier of a wishlist :) heheh (my fav wish list of all LOL): - Chanel Stud earring...

Ok, so I haven't posted in a few days and I guess it's time to get back on the horse! Things at work have been crazy hectic! I must say I like when it's busy because it passes my day by a little faster, but at the same time I do like having some "me" time during the day to clean up the mess that at some point during the morning has formed on my desk, get a drink of water, go to the washroom, go for lunch, etc...I guess I shouldn't complain, things get so slow during the summer that winter time is almost like a bit of a  treat :) Today's the big day at the homestead! The well guy is coming for 10 AM and by the time I get home from work I will have functioning, drinkable water!! :) :) My dad was going to the house to be there for the work as both Tyler and I have to be at work today. My parents also came yesterday (dad left in the middle of closing their pool because Ty needed help) to drywall the washroom and they did the piping for the new shower heads, ...

So this was a very short week for me. Monday was a holiday and Tuesday/Wednesday I stayed home. Thursday was my first go at the bus from Embrun to downtown where I work. It took a little over an hour. It really isn't that bad because you sit there and do nothing. But the rain made it seem a little worse. Though I do have the company of my sister-in-law the whole way :) I changed my work hours a bit more so we could take the same bus. It is fun! Though living in a different place may as well be a different country. I think we have both found the adjustment to be challenging. I can't help but feel like everyone is staring at me, pointing me out as the noobie in the town. I know it looks like I don't belong there, right down to the car I drive (everyone there seems to have a truck of sorts). Once I get my Jeep I plan to buy eventually, I'll fit right in :) Another thing I'm having trouble getting used to...manure. The smell of it lingers in the air near the park an...

WOW! What an exhausting (good) weekend!  I can barely remember as far back as Saturday! hahah But here we go! Friday after work, I came out to the house and worked on some stuff (my parents were here) and visited for a bit. We went back to our house in Ottawa afterwards and Tyler showered and took off to Rod's for a nice long break from the house work. I did some laundry, a little packing and sorting for the garage sale. Went to bed pretty early! When I woke up, I loaded some stuff in the car and came to Embrun. The hot water tank guy was right in front of me (good timing!). My parents beat me here though anyways so I wouldn't have missed him or anything :) He taught me and my dad a bit about the hot water tank (how to maintain it, about the new sensor we have on it, what temperature to keep it on, etc). Shortly after the appliances and dining table arrived! :) They look FANTASTIC! Pictures soon to follow :) My dad and I put together the bed and two nightstands and the phone/...

Not sure how today is only Friday. All day yesterday felt like Friday. I was even beginning to believe people were trying to trick me into thinking it was Thursday! People kept sending emails about not being in on Tuesday (if that's the case--just email me on Friday before the long weekend!) and I even got home and my package of flyers was on the deck. I only receive flyers on Friday when I get home from work (yes, I look forward to my big package of flyers I signed up for :) ). So you can see why I am so confused! I checked every computer calendar and cell phone in the house lol. Yet, no matter how tricked my brain was, I am here at work and there are other people here, so it is in fact, only Friday today lol. Last night after work, I drove out to Embrun to the house where my parents and Ty had been all day. It is starting to take shape and my bed and nightstands are there to be put together :) The kitchen is all unpacked other then a few little appliances left at the other hous...

Wow! What a hectic week this has been. I am surprised I found any time to write these things! Work has been absolutely crazy busy! And after work I've either been driving to Embrun, going out and spending all my money on my house or something along those lines! Last night I went after work for an oil change (she needed it) and a 39 point inspection just to make sure she's still ok (yes I call the car a she lol). All she needs is a brake fluid flush and me to drive her more. He says the battery needs a good charging, so to go for a good long drive around :) Nooo problem :) With the gas prices out in Embrun, I'll drive all day, I don't care LOL (usually around 6-7 cents a litre cheaper!) Today, my parents are coming up again to get some more painting done, etc with the hubby. I will meet them out there after :) Our new appliances and dining set get delivered on Saturday between 9 and 12! SO excited to see them all put in :) The water guy is coming on Tuesday and will ...

Here we go again!  Tuesday morning. Cold, wet Tuesday morning. Last night after work, I headed to Embrun to the house. Unpacked all but a few boxes in the kitchen :) Ty brought a few by accident which was convenient because it was all stuff I wanted to get rid of, so I just sent it home with Dolly :) (who came to visit!) Yesterday Ty took out the cupboards and hood fan above the stove and cut the counter (to make room for the new appliances), put up the two new ceiling fixtures in the spare rooms, cut the computer room with the colour it will be painted, patched all the holes in the upstairs walls, went up in the attic and pulled up all the cords this guy had hanging through the ceilings and patched it. He went around and painted most of the ceilings and started putting up the dining room fixture :) All in all, he was pretty productive! heheh My parents are going up to the house today and will be helping Ty with some other stuff! I would like to get to Sears tonight to pick up...

*sigh* Monday again. The weekends go so quickly when you keep busy :(. On Thursday, Ty left for the fishing derby. Friday after work, I went out to Embrun and worked around a bit at the new house with my parents. We camped out in the living room for the night. Note to self:get a new air mattress as this one has a slow leak and results in sleeping on a hardwood floor lol. Saturday morning we went to Cornwall to go to my cousins baby (Ethan's) baptism. He is so cute and well behaved--even with being sick. We got him a couple cute outfits and bibs (one says "This is what handsome lookes like) and a little blanket that has a built in rattle. We didn't get to stay at the dinner long enough for cake and gifts as it was quite a long evening. We headed back to Embrun just so I could get my car--my parents headed back home and I went back to Ottawa. On the way back, I stopped for gas. I pumped it ($43.00 worth) and headed inside to pay--the pump hadn't registered the gas s...
