Friday

Met Carl at a glass place after work to look at, and see if,  the thickness of the glass we were ordering to put in our new shower was going to be sufficient….it is.  The place was as Lawrence and Jane in a strip mall on the  north/west corner……I’ve honestly NEVER seen worse parking anywhere in the city. Completely crazy!!!!!

Later that evening, my friend Shelley came over for a visit, and we sat outside in the gazebo, drinking wine, wrapped in blankets while we caught up. I LOVE Shelley….she’s always got a great story for ya, and tons of drama in her life….never a dull moment with one of my oldest and dearest friends. 

Saturday

Carl went to London to take his Mom’s best friend (who lives in Burlington) to visit for the day. While he was gone, I did the domestic thing…ya know…laundry, grocery shopping and dusting. I’m not a big duster by nature…that’s ALL Carl at our house, but the drywallers were in again, and it’s unbelievable how much the dust travels around the house.

Went to my Niece Megan’s 13th Birthday Party Saturday evening with my friend Colin, then we went back to wait for Carl (who brought my Mom back from London with him) to come home.  

Sunday

Spent the day with my Mom puttering around town shopping… because we LOVE to do that together, and then we went back home and watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age.  We had dinner at home…on TV tables…because our renovation continues and our dining room has now become the dumping ground for all things without a home.  They told us, the bathroom should be finished by the end of  this week.  Whatever….I’m a bit bitter with the contractor right now.  Keep in mind…the room is 9 x 6.5 ft.,  existing plumbing was not moved, and it’s taken 6 weeks to renovate the room.  Arrrgh!!!!!! I’ll tell ya this much…you have to have a solid marriage, and a whole lot of patience…which I’m usually short on…to get through a reno!! 

Thank goodness Carl is in this with me because he’s had to talk me off the ledge A LOT in the last 6 weeks…he has the patience of Joab that man. :)
