Sunday: all by ourselves

Ben's parents left with Scarlet this afternoon and Ben and I decided to stay here another night. I'm pretty sure that we did almost the exact same things that we would have done at home, but it was nice not to have to drive this afternoon.

I expect one of these days my posts will become more interesting again.

Saturday: still up north

Ben came up last night...while it's been nice to be up here, it's really nice to have Ben up here too. Nothing special happened again...I had a donut for breakfast, watched Scarlet enjoy the motorcycles, ate, napped, watched TV, read, and played Dominion. I know; it's a rough life.

Thursday: up north

Today I slept in really late...guess I was tired. Then I ended up coming up north a day early with Ben's parents and Scarlet. So in the end it was a rather uneventful day, but still nice.

Tuesday: curry

Tonight my plans for dinner got changed at the last minute, so I thought I'd take out a frozen curry and eat half of it. Then Ben could have the the half tomorrow for lunch. It was delicious, so I had seconds. There was still enough for a lunch. It was still delicious, so I ended up finishing off the container.

Luckily there was another container in the fridge so Ben will still get some curry in his lunch tomorrow.

Monday: recycling

This morning I wanted to get the kitchen all clean. We don't have a good place to put the recycling, so it just sits on the counter until I bring it out to the garage. So while cleaning I took out all the recycling...it ended up being two trips because I brought some pop cans out too.

Then I found a can lid I missed. Trip three.

Then I found four pieces of paper I missed. Trip four.

Then I went into the bathroom and realized I had recycling there too. I decided that since it was still in the bathroom I could leave it there for another day.

Sunday: I guess I was tired

So after Dominion we got home around 6:30. Ben and I were reading in bed, but I decided to take a nap because I was so tired. Three and a half hours later (10:15) I finally woke up. I continued reading and whatnot, waiting for Ben to come to bed. He came to bed a little later than normal, but it worked well. So I was asleep again around 1am. I woke up briefly when Ben got up for work and got some raspberries, but was feeling tired so I thought I'd just close my eyes. When they finally opened again at 10:45 I was rather surprised. I guess I needed a lot of extra sleep.

Saturday: telling more people

Today we told most of the rest of the family (sorry Nathan). In the morning we surprised Dad and Pat at their house, saying that we stopped by because Ben had to get some recordings in the car. But they were obviously very happy once we told them. I didn't really have a cool way to tell them.

Then we told Ben's siblings while waiting for the pizza to arrive...Ben brought up how it was nice to see the room where Autumn had been born since we'll be there in January. It was fun to watch the faces as they comprehended what Ben just said.
