Day 609

Pregnancy and daily day posts really do not seem to get along

Day 607

Surprise promotion is surprising.

Day 606

Our neighbourhood has abruptly become bright green. I wish it hadn't become so hot and humid so quickly - I just want to sit outside and watch our vegetables grow!

Day 605

I have abruptly become very bad at this, apparently.

Today was supposed to be productive, but I'm not sure Husband and I managed to cobble one whole brain together between the two of us. So .... Nap time.

Day 602 (quite belated)

Apparently the need to get home and go immediately to bed won out over posting. Which says a bit about how the week went. 

On the plus side, we are now much better rested.

Day 601

Today was Husband's birthday. I forgot all about my good intentions, so he ended up making me coffee, as usual.

It is hard to be a good wife in the morning.

Day 600

Spontaneous movie date after dentist appointments. Complete with mall food!

I'm an adult! Now with more flossing in my future!

Day 599

Definitely a day for hibernation. Wake me up when I am not so sleepy.

Day 598

On the third day of long weekend, we baked and cooked and read and hung out and talked.

Day 597

Assignments for this course are now completed (aside from a final edit in the last one). Garden is in. Lilac is partially demolished.

And there is still one more day left in the weekend.

This can only mean one thing:

LAZINESS EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Day 596

A day of astonishing productivity means we can mostly slack off for the rest of the weekend. Winning!

Day 595

Husband took a vacation day today to recuperate after a long string of working very hard. So he fixed our washing machine (apparently the previous owner's contractor decided that attaching the hot water hose to the hot water pipe and the cold water hose to the cold water pipe was overrated), did several loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, put our more grass seed and watered the patch of future grass, and baked some banana bread. Because I don't really like bananas but love banana bread. 

See? This is why I'm trying to be a good person and *not* poke him in the tongue when he yawns!!

Day 594

Husbands are most excellent things. Especially mine.

Day 593

It is much more fun playing 'no sleep for you, time to wake up!' when you aren't the person falling asleep.

Day 592

You know you're adults when you and your Husband both cackle with malicious glee at the number of airmiles you just couponed your way into.

Day 591

A quick tidy, and we have successfully tricked more people into believing we don't live in squalor. Winning!

Day 590

It feels like our backyard is on a makeover show. We have been slowly tearing out all of the crap, and now we are starting to put it together again so that it is wonderful and new. And full of vegetables.

Day 589

Husband and I will now be making homemade leek soup every day forever.

Day 588

Why yes, it is British Pathé YouTube Party Day!

Day 587

Can it be weekend? I would like for it to be sleepy weekend.

Day 586

Haircut day! We look much less like a hobo couple now!

Day 585

Some days you just have to give in and go to bed at nine thirty.

Day 584

Despite feeling like butt all day, my assignment is finished. Thank goodness for an encouraging Husband who cooked me dinner.

Day 583

Friends, and food, and buying all of the things for our someday soon garden.

Day 582

I'm not sure that Husband was expecting the saw to come out when I said I was going to go to town on the globe cedar... But at the end of the day, we have clean eavestroughs on the garage and a bigger yard. 

And even if he wasn't expecting the saw, he still raised me a pickaxe.

Day 581

Fridays are a blessing, even when they are followed by working-on-assignment weekends.

Day 580

Watching Husband teach a four year old how to do things is pretty awesome. Especially when the kid succeeds and starting crowing and distributing high fives.
