Boourns to another Monday

I had a good weekend. I did take some time to relax. I did some reading, went out for lunch with my hubby, visited Oma, stuff like that. I’m re-reading Lord of the Rings since I haven’t read them since before the movies came out. We re-watched the movies over the last few weekends, so that made me want to read the books again.

Saturday evening, we participated in Earth hour. We turned off all the lights and unplugged everything we could (we left our fridge on, of course) and we lit some candles and enjoyed some quiet time. It was fun!

Yesterday afternoon, we went to my cousin’s hockey game. It was for the Midget A Ontario championships, game 4 of a best of 5 series (my cousin’s team was winning the series 2-1). And they won yesterday! Which means they are the Ontario Champions in their Midget A league! It was a very exciting game! Probably the last game of his amateur hockey career since he’s starting university in September.

Last night was Wrestlemania. We had a couple friends over, as well as my dad and his buddy. The local movie theatre wanted $35 a ticket to go see it there, so it was definitely cheaper for the 6 of us to order it at home, even at the hefty price of $65. Everyone chipped in for the cost, which was nice. It was a pretty good show, although I was pretty sleepy by the end. Since I’m used to going to bed between 9:30 and 10pm, staying up until 11 was quite difficult! Especially since I didn’t sleep in much this weekend, I was awake at 7:30am both mornings.

So here we are at another work week. Boo. At least April is around the corner because I have a few days off scheduled in the next few weeks – yay! I haven’t taken any time off yet this year!

I second the Boourns to Monday.

Although if I had stayed home another day, I would have gone shopping... so maybe it's better that I'm here at work! ;)

hehe, good point ;) Although I would have liked another day to relax! I am looking forward to my day off on the 18th when I go to the spa with my mom!

Yeah, when I went to Square One on Friday, the only thing that got me out of there was that I got hungry. ;)

I really want to get some new summer clothes, but I'm going to try to hold off until May when I'm going to the U.S. with my mom!

That also gives me a little more time to lose a few more pounds first. I would love to lose another 5 by that time. But we'll see. :)

I am in desperate need of some new clothes. I keep holding off because I think it's stupid to buy clothes when I want to lose weight, but in reality I've been around the same weight for a few years now...

I think once I hit my 10%, I'll reward myself with some new clothing sine that will be quite a success!

Where are you and your mom going? Are you going on shopping weekend? Sounds like fun!

Not a weekend. I think we're going to try to go sometime during the work week so that it's not crazy at the border. We'd probably go to Buffalo, but I've heard some good things about a place in Pennsylvania (about 5 hours drive), so we'll decide then I guess. I will take 1 or 2 days off to go. After all, when I use my vacation days, why not spend them shopping?? LOL.

Plus I have no "scheduled" vacations this year. So I can pretty much use the time whenever I want! Yeah! :D
