Good girl

Since I finally caved and joined facebook I have become mildly addicted. I did find one of Mr. Spaghettibenders old friends and decided to surprise him with a special visit. So Saturday afternoon Mr. Spaghettibender thought our friends M. Bo and husband were stopping by but instead when he went to the door he was shocked... and I mean shocked to see his old bar hoping friend. He was like a deer caught in head lights... he was so confused for at least the first hour. I had to keep explaning that M.Bo wasn't coming over.

Oh it was a night full of reminiscing and updating life stories. I was so much fun and I was so happy that Mr. Spaghettibender was having such a good time.

So this is what being a good wife feels like =)

Off he goes

Off went Mr. SpaghettiBender with his little school bag ... he looked so cute. Ready to conquer the world of University. You could see in his face a bit of panic but excitement. Off he went to register for summer courses at the University ... ready to start his university degree at the age of 33. Good for him. Oh wait that means I have to support him :O

But still he looked so cute, I should have taken a picture.

I tell ya, I have no idea how he does it. Or how he is going to do it. I am so scared for him. He was talking about a class on world literature so I read the blurb - no way. I honestly feel asleep while reading it. I could not sit in a class to discuss writing from different countries. How boring. The closest thing I come to in the form of literature is blogs : )

I can't wait to hear how his registration went. Everyday dealing with the university has a great story of our tax dollars at work.

What is it about Fridays?

Friday is here, yeah! I had tons of stuff to finish up at work so the day should go flying by.

I was happy and knew I could keep myself busy so off I went to start one task and let it go as I started and finished another task - great.

No! Not great!

Of course things can't run smoothly my first task got all messed up. And being that is it Friday and half of the world takes Friday off there is no one to help me fix the problem.

I have to juggle the time on this god-for-saken instrument with the senior people and that usually means the only time I can use it is when they are away but it also means that is the best chance I have to experience problems with it! Great!

Now I am going to be much much further behind.

I HATE Fridays!

Tad bit stressed

Okay I am starting to get a tad bit stressed. Since Mr. SpaghettiBender is going to be going back to school in the fall and I am going to be paying all our bills... well it is starting to stress me out. I wanted to save all the money for his tuition for the next 3yrs now and that way all we had to worry about was our everyday expenses. I have been pretty good about not spending money on luxury things like dinners out or household decor etc. But Mr. SpaghettiBender isn't doing the same. He sees no problem in spending at least a hundred dollars on food etc to have his family over for Easter dinner. What are you thinking?

I am trying to wrap my head around all the costs associated with him going to university and they just keep adding up and up. Plus he wants to take some courses this summer which will cost about $2500. Where is all this money going to come from?

I also have many events I have to pay for this year as well. There is another bridal shower coming up - regift : ) Then a good friend is having a baby - baby gift. I have to plan a bridal shower since I am the maid of honour - normally this would be divided between the bridesmaids but from the problems I am having now - not going to happen. Then I have to buy the dress for the Wedding - like $300 plus hair and make-up another $200. then there is the Bachelorette party. Plus we have two Wedding in one day and that will cost us $400.

Ahhhhh!!!!!

So what kind of money to prostitutes make these day : )

Happy Easter

What a great weekend. We did so well not to get overwhelmed and still made time for ourselves. Thursday night we tried to do all of our running around for the weekend meals but fell short with only making a trip to Costco and Loblaws. But that was okay because we really only had to pick up a couple of other things.

I am alittle ashamed to admit that I have a fetish ... flyer's. The are usually delivered late Friday night but they came early on Thursday night - ya! Although I did miss getting up and having my cup of coffee as I read flip through them. Why am I so excited by them? Even if there is something on sale that I am interested in I make no attempt to go out and buy it. I just love getting ideas for stuff I might need. : )

Our foyer tiles are still estimated to be delivered in May - poohey! So on to the next project - the bathroom. I have been trying to hunt down a vessel sink. I hate that they sometimes call it an above the counter sink... make up your minds and call it one thing. We saw a really nice one made of marble but it was $500... ouch! Then add in the cost of a vanity that could be almost $1000 and you have an expensive not too impressive piece of furniture in the bathroom that will be dated in about a year. Maybe I should just stick with the conventional stuff.

We also made our first Turkey ever! It was so yummy!!! I am so impressed with our Easter dinner menu. I also made homemade vegetable bisque. I love homemade soup. I'm not too sure how my Italian in-laws felt about what we made but we loved it.

Its okay to try new things people!

Mr.Spaghettibender is whistling a happy tune

That right Mr. Spaghettibender is very happy these days it seems that going off the pill has increased my libido ten folds. So he definitely has a bounce in his step. Never did I think that going off the pill could be so beneficial. I feel great. I should have done this years ago. But then we might have had a little Spaghettibender. : 0 - not what we wanted.

Went to a bridal shower this weekend. This was the third one for the bride-to-be. It was horrible. I was told that it was just suppose to be for the younger people but they might have said it was just for the younger people that were family. They were so many jokes that the rest of us didn't get and then there was this whole underlying Irish theme. I didn't even know the bride was Irish. Anyways, I made a note to myself not to throw a shower like that for this falls wedding.

We got the bikes out and ready to start biking into work but then this damn cold weather came back - lovely. I need to start biking into work ... I need to start loosing weight. I can't seem to do it from just working out at home. I need the 30mins twice a day cardio to help me out. Ah!!! I am so frustrated. I fell like a blob lately. I have to go dress shopping for the Fall Wedding and the last thing I want to do is try on dresses feeling like this. I need that show the last 10 pounds. Sign me up!
