I finished my October calendar image, it's funny that doing these always ahead of time make me feel like I'm in 2 months at the same time. This one turned out different than I expected. i knew there would be a pumpkin image, but other than the rest just sort of happened as the page started to fill up. I'm pretty happy with it, and happy to have it done before the new month begins.

Went out and celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary last night! Gordon Ramsay would be proud. I got the scallop salad. Delicious! We weren't going to go, so tired, but I am glad we did.

Yesterday was the first day in a long where I didn't take any pictures (poor garden, I wonder if it misses me already!), so here is a pic from Sunday and watching 2012. Or at least the first 10 minutes before promptly falling asleep. I also watched the last 40 minutes. There are so many recognizable actors in this, I felt like I was playing some kind of game to spot everyone. And if I ever see the other 2 hrs, I get there will be even more people to spot!

We're home safe and sound! We had an amazing trip and still it is lovely to come home, especially when there is coffee and chicken soup waiting. Thank you, Shannon! Right at the end I came down with a fever so I'll be resting up today and taking it gently for the rest of the week. It's the perfect time to cozy up with these cuddly bears that Chris gave us to take home.

I'm sure I have oodles and oodles of pictures of a pot of what-will-soon-be-soup, but that doesn't mean I won't take another one the next time I make soup. I can't help it! Soup for the win. Especially given that the it actually started to get cold, which is perfect time to make soup.

September 14, 2014: Random

Once again I put the date into my photo folder to see what would randomly come up! I may take this as a sign that it's time to sit down and do some planning because that's what I was doing last year at this time! Sounds good to me!

I have no idea what this image is, which makes it the absolutely perfect selection for random day pic!

Reg and I walked through various neighbourhoods last weekend and each palm tree made Reg very happy and finding a parrot in someone's palm tree REALLY made him happy.

I'm including this one for an odd reason. I don't quite remember taking it. It's just breakfast & my MP journal, but still. I thought I instagram'd it not took the pic with my camera. Too weird!

Suzie

I am happy to report all my little vials of flavourings, extracts and scents made the trip OK. Reg was worried about them being in my luggage but I did everything I could to protect them and it looks like it payed off.

Sometimes you just never know if a show is going to be completely crazy, or completely amazing. I felt that way when I read about the premise for The Quest, which pairs fantastical storyline and a reality competition. It kind of sounded like Survivor LARP style, and in some ways it is, but it had the premise of that the participant were working towards being the One True Hero. It took me a while to get around to watching it, but I was hooked from the intro, and then by the amazing contestants as well as the characters within the story that brought the world to life. I love every minute of it.

I forgot my camera at the apartment so I am using a photo from the other day. Here Reg is taping plastic over the KD-coloured wainscotting and today we took it down because the room is all painted. We painted the crafts room today and it is going to require two coats thanks to the blue paint. What is it about people painting their rooms blue? This time it's baby blue and still is rough to paint over.

I was going to post yet another pic of me, and thought...whoa...didn't realized I've done that a few days in a row! Why not shake things up and share a pic of a furry friend instead? One of her calm moments, she was pretty vocal today!

Suzie

Today was painting day! We did not pack painting clothes so we bought painting overalls and they did not last long. Totally unbreathable except for the fact the pants totally ripped from me Plié-ing, trying to help protect my back. We got Reg's den painted and hopefully tomorrow we'll get to my crafts room. Just semi-gloss white, want to amp up the lighting as much as possible.
