My Sister and I attended the screening of “One Week” last night thanks to Andrea. And I promised her no spoilers but, I will say that a) I miss my motorcycle terribly and b) Canada is an awesome Country.
Thank you Andrea for providing us with a night out together, it was a great time. I am only sorry that we arrived a little later than the rest of the bloggers. Who were already in the theatre. My Sister had to work and got caught up in traffic so we arrived a little later than we had wanted too. I thought for sure I would recognize Chantal in the theatre, but I didn’t. There was a group of people that appears to perhaps be having lots of fun, so we thought it might be them, but there were no two seats near them so we had to grab two on the other side before they were gone. I guess I should have yelled out in the theatre, but somehow when I don’t work there it just doesn’t seem right.
So a bloggy meet-up for me will have to wait for a little while longer, but I will recommend that you go and see “One Week”, it is a wonderful movie and both my Sister and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Thanks again Andrea.
Andrea over at the Fishbowl has some tickets to give away for Thursday’s screening of “One Week” starring Joshua Jackson. If you are at all interested, and live in Ottawa, head on over and let her know. I will be attending this Thursday, so if we haven’t met in real life this would be a fun way to finally get to meet out in the real world.
Be aware though, it may be a tearjerker so I will be bringing tissues.
Today is full of firsts!! And first of all, I am sure you were all wondering when I wrote about J’s birthday party how I could talk just so little about it. Well, that is because I had written a long and detailed post for Secret Agent Josephine as a Guest Post. This is the first time I have written as a Guest and I can’t tell you how many times since I sent it off to her that I wanted to rewrite it and do it over again, but I stayed my course. When I write here on my blog, I write what comes to mind straight from the heart. And I did the same when I wrote for her, so it would not have been the same had I rewritten it a few times. So, be sure to head over and get all the details of the day we had!
Today was J’s first day of school. I made him wear his ‘nice’ shorts and a golf shirt, so I got a little grief over the not as comfy as his usual shorts, but by the time I offered to trade off the shorts for pants he was a happy camper and ready to go. The sun was shining when we left (yay, no toy shopping!) and it was already feeling hot. I could tell that he was very excited and although he met his teacher briefly, he was more excited to go and play with his friends on the play structure. Exactly what I wanted to see for the first day. When I picked him up he told me that he liked his classroom more than our house and that his teacher was ‘Awesome’. I think it is safe to say, at least for now, that all is well in the world of Senior Kindergarten.
And last of all the firsts, but certainly not the least was Apple’s Birthday! A very low key day, I didn’t even have time to make my own cupcakes, but we did buy some so she could have a taste of the good stuff. She went straight for the cake, which is a good thing because J only eats the icing, so now we can let them share a piece. We are planning a family celebration this weekend so hopefully down the road she won’t feel like she was jilted out of a first birthday party. She definitely was an Angel today, missed her brother while he was at school and played with him and his friend after school. All in all a wonderful day of Firsts.
p.s… Can I admit that I cannot believe that she is a year old!!!! I just don’t know where the year has gone, it is unbelievable that is for sure.
