Life is Expensive

I will get to that later in the post....so, here it is Tuesday and I have yet to update the weekend goings on.....

Saturday was a stay at home day, cleaning the house and straightening the yard. P. came over for coffee and filled us in on his recent New York trip. I will get there someday! Saturday night - nothing at all. Watched Big Brother and had a drink or two. That may have had something to do with what happened during the night...

I remember having a very restless sleep, and one point I remember waking up screaming something like "What the Fuck is going on!" after seeing a "ghostly" figure over me and trying to push it away. I guess there is more to it...John told me I "assaulted" him during the night - by giving him a big two-handed push out of the bed and punching him in the arm, and called him a variety of names. He knew I was sleeping, but felt it would be better if he just slept in the guest room....I still think it's a bit funny.

Sunday was the BBQ and 1st Anniversary. We had the expected crowd of 20 people. The only bad thing was the recent dampness brought out caterpillars and night crawlers in the back yard, so people had to be careful eating and drinking from open cups. Everyone seemed to have a good time. I felt left out of all the conversations rushing around doing the hostess duties and getting the food ready in the kitchen. I looked after the cold stuff while John looked after the burgers and hot dogs. I do love to entertain, but you miss out sometimes on the good stuff. Oh, the Cake! For being frozen for a year, it was spectacular - not in the least bit dry. I have a picture I will post in a bit.

Later that night, P., One Arm & J came back and we had a camp fire. Good thing we left the screen house up because it started to rain slightly. J. had to leave around 11pm for work, so I went to bed at that time. The boys stayed up until about 2:30am. I could have sworn that when John came to bed he had on this LED light on a band around his head that the boys (meaning you, one arm!) were "playing" with earlier in the night. Another one of my restless dreams - maybe it was the moonlight reflecting off his forehead.

Monday - so tired from the weekend, but I was on the hunt for Yankee Fresh Peach tealights. I had bought a box in the US 50% off and discovered I loved the scent. I was tempted to order on-line but it would end up costing another $20 US on top of the price and I don't love them that much. At lunch I took a quick trip uptown to English Butler - no luck. After work I headed to the east side mall and found a box at the card store. The hunt was over!

John found a bottle of homemade wine from earlier in the year so we shared that and sat on the deck for a bit last night. I had a nice wine induced sleep until about 2:45am then could not get back to sleep due to my bed mate snoring - ended up sleeping the last few hours in the guest room.

Today - bit of a slow day at work. Emailed Jane a few times. Sat outside for lunch in the awesome sunshine. On the way home I saw that gas prices had risen to $112.5 per litre....well, that was the end of my good mood for the day. I then saw the phone bill - I was really pissed by then. I didn't feel like going out for groceries but I forced myself to get at least that done.

That is all I can post right now.
