Sunday Happy

How is spring treating you? I have been loving the weather but man this past week my allergies have kicked in and blah. Itchy eyes and skin, runny nose, and brain fog. I feel like my head is going to float away.

We had a packed past week. There was Easter with the family. Pretty much everyone was there, no one fought, and there was plenty of candy and bubbles.. Good stuff. Then Monday the mr got his truck back from the police station. (Thank god), and now he keeps the doors lock and the key out of the ignition. I also went for a long walk in a t-shirt and sandals that day and and then the next day I went for my morning run hate and mittens in close to half a foot of the wettest snow ever. The power went out for hours and a few of my neighbors trees fell over and crashed into out fence. Also goos stuff. But then the snow bascailly all melted within a day and it’s spring again.

Thruday the mr, Megan, and I brought Alex an So to the Biodome in Montreal. Drove over the boarder (forgot to fill out the online forms and had to pull over and do all that..annoying!) but made it up there without any more issues. We got to the Biodome, walked around the different evornments, saw some animals (made me sad. I don’t like captive animals) and then finished out the Montreal outing by stopping at Ikea. They got hotdogs and shit, I got new toilet brushes!

And as always there was some other stuff, like adulting things, work things, life things, but nothing worth the mention so that was the week.

Sunday. Today I am going into the studio for the better part of the morning to glaze while the mr goes off to work. We have a date this afternoon to go see a play. Not something I usually would do but we actually kind of have to go. It is Barbs play so you know me being all nice and shit…. HA! But I am sure it will be great. And then I am probably going to come home, plant seeds, make soup, and hide for the rest of the day.

How was your week? Was it as straight up nasty humid and gross as mine was? Stupid heat wave.. I was not impressed. 

I will be the first person to admit it, that I am not my best person when the tempature rises and humidity levels get so high that it starts to creep into my soul. I go a little crazy/ crazy bitch and just am not pleasant to be around.  Or maybe it's that everyone around me is not pleasant to be around. Either way…. just not good. 

And I forget things, like to pick up the  farm share this week. Now I am forced to go grocery shopping to buy most of our veggies (we are still getting a good clip from the garden) until next week. And Let's not mention the pup.. cause he is just as miserable, if not more then we are.

So to beat the heat, the mr and I found ourselves traveling around, river hopping. He fished, I stuck my feet in the water and read, did some watercoloring, or knitted. It was fantastic and probably saved a few of the lives of the people around me. 

We also took my little brother and sister up to the Bio dome in Montreal for the day, which was pretty cool. And of course we didn't leave the city without making the manditory stop at Ikea, where I got myself a nice new green jar and my sister ate not 1, but 4!!!! hotdogs, and topped it off with a dessert frozen yogurt. It was the highlight of her summer. and maybe the lowlight as well. Now that I think of it, it makes sense why she was so  quite on the way home. She was in a Ikea hotdog coma.

So yeah, the heat and humidity have finally broke and we are now (hopefully) going to finish off the rest of summer with a delightfully non humid and hot, weather pattern.

And then it will be fall and  we will go APPLE PICKING!!!! 

Some stuff  on the internet this week.

-Is coffee a vitamin? I think so.

-Finally, a fantastic spork.

-I think I want to be a Globe Maker

-This is my house in Sweden (Someday!?!)

And pictures from the week.

Montreal

For a little while now, we have been telling this lady (my little sis) we would take her to the big city up north. She had never been, (which is crazy cause we live so close) and wanted to just explore and take some pictures. So last week when she finally finished school for the summer, the mr, this lady, and I made the trip.

 I guess the best way to start a little road trip is with a bowl or egg noodle covered in the smelliest teriyaki sauce ever ( it was 9 in the morning). Gross as hell, but i give her credit for creativity. This lady has a fantastic (and pretty freaking dirty) mind. 

And really, what's a trip to Montreal without stopping at Ikea. It's like a house ware themed playground. So much tomfoolery! 

The mr. wants to know, "is it really frozen yogurt, cause it's too good to be yogurt?" The lady just wants an Ikea closer so she can eat ice cream and hot dogs all day, everyday. 

The balls we plastic and full of water….and after wondering aloud if the balls ever dropped, this one fell onto my head.

Once in the city, we parked and set out on foot. The goal for the day was to walk, see some cool shit, and get a good cup of coffee. All of which we did. So after a few hours, tired, hot and sun burnt (we forgot the sunscreen), we dragged ass back to the car and drove home.

Until next time. (maybe we'll take her to a strip club)
