The Beach, Home Depot for the first time,and A Givaeway!

I hope everyone's week is going well. Our is going fairly well. I am a bit stressed regarding job searching, and where (or if) we should move; destination, time, etc. Other than that, it is going well.

I won't do a half week wrap up, but I will talk about my fun day today!

I didn't have anything really to do today, and I wanted to go to beach before the weather got too cold, so off I went. I got there around 11, and there was only me a few dog owners with their dogs on the beach. I went swimming in the river, and I sat in the sun, and read my mags.

                                               My magazines, my snack, my sunscreen.

This was the beach when I first got there this morning.

 

The other side of the beach.

 

 

I left around 2, to visit my friends gramma, and then I went home to pick up hubs to price some things out for a project we might undertake (more on that another time). We went to ReStore, which is a second hand building store (but they carry other things, to), and the proceeds to towards Habitat for Humanity. Hubby LOVES to go there.

 

We went on to our next stop Home Depot. I thought I had been there before, but as I walked in, I realized I had not. So, despite my not really wanting to go, I actually had fun. I ran into a couple of people that I knew who worked there, which was nice.

 

The HD sign.

The big orange carts. Yes, I had to grab one:)

At least there was something that I liked, and held my interest.

Did you know that have an entire (LOOONG) aisle dedicated to lumber? Nope, me neither. At least it smelled nice.

The man's ultimate play ground!

 I said I would go only if he took me out for coffee:) Off to Sbx we went.

Yummy snacks.

Not bad for a phone-camera selfie:) He was eating here...I wanted to take another picture of us, but he wouldn't let me take another one;)

One of my new favourite drinks; The Lime Refresher..Yummy!

 

So, on to the Giveaway part of this post.

 

As most of you know, I really want to try to get more followers. I only have 7, and I would like to have more...not in the 1,000's, but I would like a few more. So, as soon as I reach 25 followers, I will send out an Avon product to the 25th follower. Please add me to your blogs you follow:)

 

Happy Wednesday!

Weekly Wrap Up (aka Life Lately Link Up) & Misc Mondays Link up (August 12-18)

Happy Monday! I am linking Wild & Precious & Carssa @ Lowercase Letters today for the Life Lately link up, and Misc Monday!

I thought I would do the weekly wrap  up and misc Mondays and add this to both link ups. (you know, trying to kill 3 birds with one stone!)

Last week was a very busy week for me...I seemed to be always going, except in the evening...where I hung out in the evening and watched TV, and read, and slept.

So, I talked about last Sunday, but I forgot to mention that we went for ice cream for supper on the way home. I had a banana split, and hubby had is favourite; Tiger, and Leaping Lizzard. We just relaxed in the evening.

Monday, I hung out and relaxed in the morning, and I met up with my cousin (well, first cousin once removed, but same thing) for coffee and a chat. I ended up working at the store until 5:30, and I came home and hung out.

Tuesday, I worked at the store in the morning, and I had my doctors apt for my ear, and I got some more ear drops. I went to the library, and then to work. I pretty much went to bed as soon as I got home. I was very tired.

Wednesday, I worked at the store, and then Anker and I ran out look at some property (well, it was a trailer) that we are interested in. I dropped him off and went to work. I came home after work and went to bed...it wasn`t the greatest evening.

Thursday, I worked at the store, and Anker and I went to look at a stove for our apartment. I dropped him off, and I ran a few errands. I visited a friend who is in the hospital, and went to the outdoor concert. I went alone, but it was still a great time.

Friday, I grabbed breakfast at Starbucks, as our old stove was moved, and blocking the stove and cupboard...I worked at the store all day, and I came home and hung out...I don't remember what all I did.....we had dinner, and I relaxed all evening, I think.

Saturday, I worked at the store all day, and I was in a bit of a blah mood. I ended up going to Starbucks, and I drowned my sorrows in a venti Mocha Frappiccino. I watched TV and relaxed and watched Big Bang Theory.

Yesterday, we relaxed all day, which we really needed. We skipped church, and spent time hanging out and playing on the computer. We went out for coffee, and did a bit of shopping. We came home, and I watchd a movie that I PVR`d, and I cleaned our bedroom. We had DQ for supper. We watched some more Big Bang.

That was our week! Hope yours was good!

SUYL-Date Ideas, and a Weekly update

Happy Good Friday, and welcome to my blog! If you are linking/coming from Kelly 's Korner Blog, you will know that I will be talking about date ideas.

My hubby and I have been together for nearly 7 yrs!! We have been married 6 of those. We met online, and married within a year of meeting each other. Probably not the smartest thing I never did, but we did it!

Hubby and I at the Church's Vday Dinner Feb 2013

So, date ideas....I asked him about his favourite date ideas this morning, and he said the same thing I said, which I guess is a good thing! We are usually pretty broke, and boring, so we don't have the most exciting dates, but we do try to get out at least once a week. We find that the summer is easier to get out, as we can grab a Slurpee, and go to our faviourite park and sit by the Bird Sancturary (which is actually a pond filled with birds), and sit and talk. We also love taking road trips together. Some of our best visits have been when we were driving. We also love talking in bed, and in the morning, after he gets home from work, and if I don't have a school day, or am not busy, we can sit and talk for a few minutes. We als will sit and watch a C@nucks (or any) hockey game together. I rarely can sit through an entire game, but I will sometimes have my laptop, and that will keep me happy while the game is on. We also love doing errands together. We will do a few things, and grab lunch at a fast food place and just sit and visit. Sometimes, we will go for coffee at St@rbucks and read the paper together. We have also (tho I think only once) have re-created our first date. We also love taking trips together and camping (in a tent). You can learn a lot about sometime when you camp:)  Well, as far as dates go, I think that is about it:)

So, for an update..I haven't done this for awhile....so here goes...

Yesterday, I told you about my ear infection, and about my day, so I won't talk about that again..Wednesday, I got up early, and I studied at the school with my classmates for a pretty major test. I failed the last one, so I was pretty stressed about this one. I hope I passed..I think I did..:) I was going to go home (which I probably should have done, due to my ear being sore) but I met up with my SIL at the mall (the only good one in town), and hung out with her for awhile.We exchanged her phone, and I got some clothes for Bebop for his bday. We grabbed a snack, and wandered around, which was nice. I got home, and I hung out on my laptop, and then my ear got bad again. I could barely get ready for bed.Tuesday, I met up with SIL for coffee at, you guessed it St@rbucks for coffee. I did a bit of studying for my sign language test that evening. I went to my DR to have him check out my ear. I went to grab something to eat, and went to the school to do a bit more studying for the test. I grabbed supper and came home. I just relaxed for the evening. Monday, I woke up early, and went to the school and printed off my paper that was due that morning. I went to my classes, and I  went to  a friends house to help her with her new business. That is when my ear started to hurt...bad!! I barely got home, and I shouldn't have been driving! I came home, and I went straight to bed (as I did on Wednesday). Sunday, we didn't go to church (I know..bad), and I went out and I studied for a bit. I came home, and we watched THE BIBLE (which is good, btw). Well, I won't go any further than that..b/c I can't remember what else happened:) Other than my ear infection, and being stressed over school, it was a good week.

I can't believe that I have 850 views on my blog!!
