Call me 'Windbag"

Ahh, it's Saturday morning and i'm enjoying a hot cuppa Joe. The dishwasher is going and now i'm pondering what to do next...put in a load of laundry, vacuum, wash the dishes in the sink or make the bed. Guess what....NADA! I'm going to blog while i've got 20 minutes of peace and quiet. It was nice to sleep in until 7 a.m. this morning too although right now I feel as though a nap is in order, lol.

What an amazing whirlwind the last two weeks have been! And has it really only been two weeks cuz time has flown by but that could also be in part to how busy our social life has been and it's AWESOME!

Let's start off with our trip to Vancouver on September 28. I just love my hunny, he was a trooper. You have to know how much he hates shopping to get this, lol. We arrived in Vancouver on Friday night at 6:00 p.m. By the time we drove from the Airport to Port Coquitlam it was 8:15 and Coquitlam Centre closed at 9:00 p.m. Hal was in dire need of adding some new clothes to his wardrobe and let me tell you in less then 45 minutes we had him clothed, lol. He picked out two shirts and a pair of jeans and said he was going to try them on. Well while he was in the dressing room I picked him out two more pair of pants, a sweater and 5 shirts. He steps out of the dressing room for me to see how the jeans fit and most importantly how I liked his bum in the jeans, lol. He saw the stack of clothes and said "I don't have to try all of those on do I?" Told him no but that he should try on the sweater, a tshirt and the pants so we could see if the size had to be changed. One pair of the pants went back and we changed the size on the tshirts. We hit an amazing sale I tell you!! The clothes we picked out would have cost almost $400.00. Hal had $200.00 in Sears gift cards that the meat department won at work. He still has almost $40.00 on a card!!! We saved over half on the clothes he bought. This was all done in less then 45 minutes too...yay I love shopping!

We then scooted off to Maple Ridge to his brother's place to spend the night. We stayed up until almost 1 a.m. talking and catching up. 8 a.m. came way to early the next morning but we had lots to get done on Saturday. Up for coffee and breakfast, showers and hit the road for our busy day. First stop was at Marks WorkWearHouse for Hal to find some new winter boots. Again, amazing shopping. He saw a pair of boots that he really liked and they're nice and even better they were on sale too!

We picked up our boy Quade on September 29 (two weeks ago today). Saturday night after getting Quade (Rio) settled at Hal's brothers place we headed into Port Coquitlam to go for dinner and to the BC Lions vs Calgary Stampeders game. Dinner at Moxies was fantastic! OMG do they know how to cook a steak! Good food, great company and lots of laughs.

The game was a blow out. BC Lions rocked the house! I have to say it was odd watching a football game live as the field seemed so much smaller then it does on the tv screen. Although...I would probably drop dead running from one end of it to the other. The players looked really nice in their tight pants too, i'm a bum girl so appreciated the view!

We spent the second half of the game just socializing as it was clearly the Lions game. We were such rebels too Hal and I. Rhonda and Dennis had amazing seats and there were a lot of empty ones beside them so with a little ticket swapping we managed to sneak up and enjoy the view and company.

I DO NOT ENJOY THE TRAFFIC in the lower mainland. On Saturday Hal and I spent 7 hours of our day in traffic. This is going from Maple Ridge to Chilliwack, Chilliwack back to Maple Ridge. Maple Ridge to downtown Vancouver and then Vancouver back to Maple Ridge. It sounds like quite the distance but really wasn't, just waiting in traffice. It makes us appreciate the fact that it takes us 2 minutes to drive to work.

The weekend went by way to quickly but was a lot of fun to get away and enjoy time with family and friends.

Enough for this post....more to come.
