Hey all. Not feeling so good right now. I have been isolated from people for 2 days because I caught some sort of stomach bug, so blogging is my way of having a conversation without really any effort.
I can't believe how long its been since I blogged. Over a month. Wow. I wish I had some fantastic update for you, but I really don't.
Well, I guess I did take a trip. I did a surprise visit to PEI on May 14th. I had such an awesome time. No stress, no muss. Just complete chill time with my mom and my sister. Just the way I like it. I went alone with no kids either. The weather sucked, it rained the whole time I was there. Oh well, lots of reasons to stay indoors and hang with my family! I enjoyed my time with my sister a lot. She has changed a lot, and is finally turning into the woman we always hoped she would be.
I am leaving again on Monday night for Montreal. My friend Michele is graduating from McGill. I was honored to be invited. It will be my first time really being in Montreal. I have traveled thru it a few times on the way to PEI from Ontario as a kid. I know I will be getting Andrew a smoked beef brisket from Schwartz deli for sure. I want to have a poutine while I am there! I am excited about a restaurant we will be going to with some of Michele's friends, I have perused that menu twice now and have picked out what I want. I can't wait! I haven't seen Michele for a year, so being able to hug her this year means a lot to me.
I had more to type but I got distracted by my dogs grumbling tummy. It is making some weird gurgling noises.
Andrew's cousin Sara used to tease me about my Twilight Obsession, then I told her she had to watch the movies or read the books to really be able to tease me. So last weekend, we watched Twilight. She liked it. Wanted to watch the next one right away. I told her no, I had to work. I went to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for bed. Meanwhile, Sara and Hilary put on New Moon. Then the other day, she came over and watched Eclipse. She was sad to hear how far out Breaking Dawn is! She now wants the books. I converted another to the Twilight Obsession. She is Team Jacob tho. I forgive her.
Anyways, June 4th is when we start our 5k training! Can't wait. I saw my chiropractor today and we talked about my hip issues from that fall I had at work last month, he provided me with some great stretching exercises. We did those today, and if it weren't for the pukey feeling I had, I could've gone for a walk right then and there. I walked out feeling great...from the hips down. We have had some great support from our family and friends for our Walk Now for Autism. We have raised over $1000.00 already and I haven't even really started my campaign. I of course want to thank everyone who has donated so far. Means so much to me! (I will not cry...)
I am excited to start the training and am considering the couch to 5k training. But I am also looking for a bootcamp here in Calgary that will be good for a very out of shape me. If you know of any affordable and will work for my fitness level bootcamps, leave a msg below.
Things are going well for me. I am happy, getting healthier, and I have travel on the horizon. If I could just kick this yucky barfy thing I have right now, I would be even happier!
