5&6
Happy Birthday Sister!!!
On Friday we wound up staying home and it was actually really nice. We rented a couple of movies, ordered in pizza. A perfect Friday with my man. We took the eleven a.m. sailing to Vancouver, and my Mom picked us up. We went downtown and got Q.'s gifts. We went to Q.&A.'s house, hung out, then went to the Banana Leaf for dinner. We did the sampler for six, for the five of us. I liked almost all of the dishes. I drank a Fresh Young Coconut. I didn't love it, but Q. loves them so she drank most of it. The best part was the deep fried bananas with ice cream and syrup and almonds. It was amazing.
We returned to the apartment in a bit of a food comma, relaxed for an hour, then walked across the road to the pub. We closed the place down, I made sure Q. had a birthday shot. Mom stayed over too, and we had a three course breakfast. Mom made pancakes, A. made eggs with zucchini on rice and beans, and he bought a Whole Foods chocolate volcano cake. I definitely ate too much. We went downtown again, then they brought us to the three p.m. sailing home. It was a good weekend.
Weekend Goals (too late so I'll write general weekend goals)
1: Sleep, not necessarily late, but just sleep for as many hours as possible,.
2: Eat really good breakfast both days.
3: Walk around downtown with W.
4: Drink multiple chai tea lattes.
5: Camp once the weather warms up.
6: Go for a run.
7: Fall asleep on the couch.
8: Take pictures.
9: Grocery shop.
10: Hang out with C&C.
Least Favorite Words
1: Mound
2: Moist
3: Rural (I just can't say it)
4: Like (when said every other word)
I can't think of any others right now.

Day 4
Day 4 of list making,
This is quite appropriate because I just used my iTunes gift card from Christmas. I am saving the other half for W. when he gets home. I wonder if he'll get some Tom Waits? hehe
So here's a small sample of
What's on Today's Playlist...
1: Awolnation
2: The Wooden Sky
3: Laura Marling
4: Alexi Murdoch
5: Florence and the Machine
6: Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson
7: Glasvegas
8: She and Him
9: The Black Seeds
10: The Tallest Man on Earth
ohh that was an easy one. This Emtec-30 is making me feel woozy. A bit dizzy and I'm always hungry, probably because I can't eat any real solid food. Good thing I make wicked smoothies. I handed in my history article review. Only one day late, but I don't think she really cared too much. I haven't heard back from Cy. so I don't know what's going to happen tonight. Tomorrow we are off to celebrate Q.'s birthday. I don't think I'm going to drink at all though, I think I would feel really weird if I did. I should be cleaning and packing, but C'est la vie.

Lists
I saw on A New Beginning that during the month of March to blog more people are writing a list a day. So I don't know what the prompts are but I thought I could make up some of my own. So today is the second so I will do two to catch up.
List One
My Top Ten Guilty Pleasures
1: (currently addicted) Day time talk shows, ie: Ellen, Rachael Ray, and Oprah!
2: Ice Cream, I can eat it no matter how full I am.
3: Cereal, for every meal.
4: Value Village, sometimes I don't want to admit how often I go.
5: Books, although I don't feel very guilty about this one.
6: Jewelry, I always want more.
7: Shoes, ditto.
8: I love school, but now that I'm on my way to teaching I can't wait to work for real.
9: Reading a few blogs daily, including wedding blogs!
10: Movies, cuddled on the couch with W.
List Two
I found on Flickr the List Group, and day two is
Things I'm Good At
1: Going to the dentist (I just had my two right side wisdom teeth out 3 hours ago!)
2: Scrapbooking
3: School
4: Baking & Cooking
5: Dying my hair, and styling it differently
6: Riding my bike
7: Talking & Listening
8: Working with kids
9: Taking pictures
10: Making my family laugh
Talking about myself in that way is tough, it's like writing a cover letter. Blah!
I might blog a lot in the next few days since I am confining myself to bed rest, at least till I'm really bored.
