This Posting Thing is Hard

Posted on November 6, 2007 by Gwen

Today is another day with a migraine.  I am so glad that Aidan is a really good boy who doesn’t mind cuddling with his mommy, or that today he decided a nap might actually be a good idea.  I have a bunch of posts in my head now I just need to get them down on the computer.  Here is hoping that tomorrow is headache free.

Practice Hurts

Posted on November 5, 2007 by Gwen

I have just realized that if I actually put that much practice into real guitar or my flute I would be a damn good player.  Why is it more fun to play with the Wii guitar?  Any answers?  Sigh, makes me feel guilty.  On the other hand we didn’t waste money on the game.

Love at first sight

Posted on November 5, 2007 by Gwen

Aidan fell in love today . . . with a giraffe. I was getting some supplies from Ikea for a Christmas Swap and Aidan was so enamoured of this stuffed Giraffe that I had to get it. It is a really soft giraffe and I again proved that mommy is soft. I was going to get him a cow puppet so I made him choose, the cow or the giraffe. The giraffe won hooves down.

It is a good thing that Aidan is pretty unspoilable so far. I just hope that I get more of a backbone before he has his own car. You know one that doesn’t fit in his hand.

This week went pretty well for the sticking to the plan except for Hallowe’en. Time got away from us and we ended up with Wendy’s for dinner. Oh well I guess we need to expect these things. I think I will try a new recipe for Saturday, but I am not sure what I will be slow-cooking yet. I have the week to figure that out. I am also trying to get a better plan of activities for the week as well.

On to the plan:

Sunday 4 Nov.: Sweet and Sour Spicy Meatballs, Rice, vegetable

Monday 5 Nov.: Tri-coloured Rotini and Meat Sauce, Salad (Head down to Granville Island for the Baby Gym and pick up some Veggies as well. Maybe get some nice bread.)

Tuesday 6 Nov.: Frozen Dinner Night. (Guide Night. Head to HT office to give Fr. Oakes the service plan for Advent Carol Service. Book Choir practices. Yoga after Guides.)

Wednesday 7 Nov.: Chicken and Veggie Kabobs, Rice. (Granville Island for Baby Gym. Cardio at gym for 7:30, have dinner at 6:30.)

Thursday 8 Nov.: Pizza, Salad. (Morning gym time. Choir practice at 7:30.)

Friday 9 Nov.: Hamburgers, baked potatoes, vegetable. (Swimming class for Aidan and Library. Veg out for evening.)

Saturday 10 Nov.: Slow-cooker Meal (AM Choir practice for Remembrance Day. PM Geo-caching.)
