Wondering where I've been? Life has been a little nuts lately, last week I had a business trip in Toronto. Hubby was off so I brought him along for the ride. It made business so much better. After my meetings were done for the day we'd explore Toronto. The first day we enjoyed drinks at Milestone's patio which over looks Dundas Square! So cool!

Dundas Square is a mini Time Square! And y'all know my love for the big apple!

Of course there was WAY too much shopping involved in this trip... staying so close to Dundas Square can only equal trouble and a credit card bill I will run from...

That's me all ready for dinner and the Jay's game!

We went to a pub near the sky dome! It had crazy lighting, all empty bottles! This picture doesn't exactly capture the cool factor.

Looky looky, someone named their lounge after me!

We picked up tickets from a scalper (shhh don't tell the POlice ;) we got the first row above the Sox Dug out! #verycool

They had these gals turning tricks on top of the dug out! Ok ok, they were actually just throwing out T-shirts! #Sweetjob!

My biggest highlight of the game was laughing at the pigeon toes... ya I'm a real avid sports fan!

All in all it was a successful business trip and fun little get away for Hubby and I!

Bye Bye Long & Lucsious, Hello Short & Sweet

I have been contemplating chopping the long locks for MONTHS now... really almost years if I'm being honest. I was growing my hair as long as possible for my wedding and then I wanted to CHOP it. Well 9 months later and I finally found the guts to do it!

Here is my inspiration....





Then I realized I wasn't blond... I must subconsciously wish I was?

So I found these brunette babes with the "medium" bobs.  I say "medium" because that's what google says, but I say that are SHORT! compared to what I had this is definitely short...





I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Chelsea Kane's hair... so I threw this picture in the mix. Which of course my hair dresser was quick to tell me I could never have hair like that. I bet you think it's cause I'm not blond? No that wasn't it, my hair is TOO thick for a cut like this...


Okay are you sick of ALL the inspirational shots yet? I am... so here's the final product. Keep in mind this was just a quick snap on my phone!

Long Time

It's been a long time I know I know! Life has been NUTS!

In the meantime my baby Bobo turned 3 on April 21, 2011! And Rocky is turning 3 on May 24, 2011! Happy Birthday to my fur babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also finished a book I had been reading for probably 6 months... it was good but clearly it was one that I could put down and forget about for months on end.  It was called "Mercy" by Jodi Picoult

I love Jodi Picoult's books! She has a really amazing way of story telling.  She captures each characters perspective which really gives you a full understanding of the situation.  This one was just a bit tough to get into and I'm still not sure that I really liked the ending.

I'm now reading Emily Griffen's newest novel "Heart of the Matter"

This is another author I just love! She wrote the books "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue" and I FLEW through those two books.  Speaking of "Something Borrowed" the movie comes out this Friday and I JUST CAN NOT WAIT to see it with biffy Kelly and Brit!!



So since its been so long you are getting an extra long play by play!!!

My weekend went like this:

Friday – I had that training seminar with a final exam - who does that?? Actually it was fine! Our condo that we rent near the University came up for rent for September 1 so we showed the condo to two different sets of students.  Ran errands, went for supper (at Earls yummm) and then went to the Boon’s for our volleyball wind up! It was lots of fun! We made awards for each player...

Saturday – we just bummed around mostly, and then went over to the Bradshaw’s for dinner and a movie: Casino Jack - but I fell asleep! :( 

Sunday – we showed the condo to the third person and then I went by a girlfriend's place to show her some Stella & Dot Jewels! She’s placing a BIG order (buying all her bridesmaids bracelets and earrings!!!) J Britt (my brother in law's girlfriend) popped by too and her belly is getting so big!! She looks super cute!!! Then hub and I just bummed around more! Lol kind of a lazy weekend at times but not at other times! Hahaha we chose the new tenant for the condo too which is nice to have that done with!! It’s a young couple starting their first year of university and they are SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!

My week is kind of busy but not crazy….

Today – gym at noon, no plans tonight – Hub is off today, so we'll probably go look at some vehicles.  He is now into "flipping cars" like flipping houses but cars... so far he sold his explorer (which he just bought about 2 months ago after selling his truck), bought another truck, sold the truck today and is now vehicle less again…. Hahahaha………………………….. K he is looking at two other trucks today.

Tuesday – gym at noon, bridal meeting after work, then probably bake some cupcakes for the styled engagement shoot we are doing next Saturday for the couple winners... it's going to be AMAZING! 

Wednesday – lunch with two girls from work, another bridal meeting after work, then church – this woman at church has been harassing me for a photo with the new RCIA group… lol

Thursday – out of the office part of the day for the RCA spring meeting, no plans at night YET

Friday – out of the office most of the day for a meeting with a developer!  Then dinner and a movie (SOMETHING BORROWED) with Kel + Brit!! J
