Holidays

I am on holidays this week. So far it has been a quite productive and enjoyable time. On Friday I got off of work early so I came home and decided that I should wash my car. I hadn't washed it since just after the snow melted in Spring so it was quite dirty. It is nice and shiny now though!

Saturday we slept in (ahhh that was nice) and decided to get a head start on a bit of packing (our possession date is only a month from today!). I called up the liquor store to see if they had any boxes they could give us and they said just a few. We went to pick them up and they had so many that the back of the van was just packed full!! When we got back, we packed up about five boxes and two great big totes of DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes and some books. Then on Saturday night we went for ice cream to Dairy Queen. I got a buster bar! Those things are sure good! It is like a smaller peanut buster parfait (I could never finish those things anyway) and it's dipped in chocolate and frozen on a stick. Super good!

Sunday we went to church then I headed out to do some shopping for a birthday present for my cousin's son. In the evening I got the urge to paint my fingernails. I don't think I have had nailpolish on my fingernails since our wedding! I painted them red, and it felt too weird so I took it off last night and now I have stained pink fingernails and red rings around my nails where the polish wouldn't come off :P

Monday we went to meet the construction manager at our house to discuss the building of a deck which will probably be built by the end of this week (exciting!). Then we went to Kinsmen park for Karsten's third birthday party. It was a nice afternoon spent in the park except for all of the stinkin' wasps!!! I even got to go on the train and the merry-go-round with James.

I started out today by going to work...on my holidays....for a massage! It was lovely! Then we went to the Blind Factory to check out some blinds for the new house. We thought we knew what we wanted, but got quite an education and decided against our original plan. We decided on some funkier blinds and I am really excited to see them in our new house. We haven't bought them yet, but I am getting together with someone from the blind factory at our house on Monday to measure our windows and decide on the right colours. I think that when we move into our house it will be excitement overload!! Tonight our real estate agent is supposed to be stopping by with all our many offers for us to go over. Honestly though I am not optimistic since we have only had two showings since we listed this place a week ago!

Tomorrow I am not totally sure what our plan is. I know I need to do laundry and pack because we are leaving to go to Swift Current and Lac Pelletier on Thursday. Other than that we are planning to go to the Samurai restaurant for supper. We have wanted to go there for a while now and haven't had the chance until now. I have heard that it is quite the experience! In the afternoon we might head out to the Zoo or maybe the Berry Barn just for some fresh air and exercise, but I am not sure yet.

I haven't had a full week holiday from work since last summer and we were gone to Swift Current and Cypress Hills for the majority of it. It has been nice to have some time off at home but I am looking forward to going to the lake! Let's hope the weather cooperates!
