Tell me why I don't like Mondays....

I personally think it's because I'm too tired from the weekend...

So what's been going on in the life of the craxy?

Friday night, Aaron and I went for dinner with Denise, Joe and Jenn...was a nice meal, a bit late for a Friday for both Aaron and I...I think Saturday's are more our speed for going out.

Saturday had to get up early to look pretty for my driver's license photo - although I'm pretty sure I'll look petrified in the picture. Not sure why, I just think that's the way I looked when the flash finally snapped. Then back home to finish installing the lights in the basement with Dad and Aaron, as well as installing the trim around the basement room door and finish patching the one wall. At 3pm after showering, it was finally time to head out shopping for a wedding present. I have thought long and hard for something original and was feeling rather down that I hadn't found something yet. Aaron and I ventured to Vaughan Mills for a change of scenery - which was quite a task for me with my back being in as much pain as it was this past weekend. About half-way around the mall, I finally found what I think is the perfect gift. It's not something from the registry, but something that I know I personally would enjoy - even though I didn't quite know what it was when I first saw it and am still trying to find out more about it. So Jill, if you're reading this...I think you'll like it, if not love it...and I hope that you'll be able to use it and enjoy it, but if not, I have the receipt - or I'd enjoy it being re-gifted to me...hehe - just kidding! I'm really looking forward to the wedding...got the dress, got the shoes, just need to think about what to say for the toss...

Sunday I managed to sleep in until 8:30 - so that was exciting. Then Aaron and I took to scrubbing and cleaning the concrete walls in prep for the paint. As the room was still drying out from that last night, the first coat of paint will have to be this evening. Got groceries done and some laundry, and were able to sit for a bit before going to bed.

Monday morning came too quickly for my liking...but the day is progressing and before I know it, 5 pm will be here and I can hopefully escape to do more work at home. At this rate, I'm projecting being able to relax around the 3rd or 4th weekend in October. Wish me luck!!
