hot and cold

Days went from very hot to very cool quickly.

Today I forgot it was a PA day and woke James at 7am. Colour him not impressed.

I tried to get out for lunch today but things snowballed and that didn't work out.

I did make dinner yesterday- Japanese turkey taco bowls:

 Sticky rice

 Turkey with spices and cheese

 With Tomatoes

 lettuce and sour cream

 more cheese and cooked wonton wrappers

 The best part was the toasted wonton wrappers- they were really good

I am not sure how the weekend will go- we are having a celebration for Al and his family on Saturday night and I am speaking at Rustle Sunday morning. I don't think I am ready for any of it.

buried

Got a bit buried under work for the last while. Still have a LOT to do to though! I am very behind on my mod 3 work but my mod 1 is almost caught up.

 Tonight was Alpha at Rustle. The basement was transformed! It was a great time!
 

Yesterday Beef meatball Caponata Penne. Yes, that is baby eggplant. A yummy Italian meal.

Catching up

I worked most of the day today and am relatively caught up. We have a studio ready to run Mon 8:30am.

The weather was beautiful, sorry to have missed most of it. After work I did mow the lawn, so it was nice to be out.

James had a game, which they won. They play the top team in the league from last year tomorrow.

5am- time to eat stew- I've got a big day- read posts from British family but they did not mention london bombing

9am- stop by Giant Tiger to pick up more shorts for James as his have been disappearing. $5.

5pm- give up on email and go home because I know I need to be back the next day

made tacos, washed dishes, did laundry and now I need to sleep and it is only 9:30pm!

Day 4

Yesterday was my longest day and then today was my most challenging day (not planned, just the way it worked out). So I wore my rocket science dress to make me feel better.

Day 2

I worked very hard for the Day 1 to get rolling and it did end up going well but it was a lot of work the week before.

Today I had stew and bread for breakfast as I knew it would be a long day and that fared me well. Today was 2 lectures and 2 training sessions. Tomorrow there is more. But everything is rolling, which is good.

Happy Birthday to my dad

As we approach the time of year that I start to come unglued!

Turkey Cavatelli

 With artichoke hearts (interesting to try but couldn't taste them much)

It was a very good meal, altogether!

Couple of pictures from the graduation.

Tomorrow Rustle in the morning, work in the afternoon.

3am

Was up at 3am for a variety of reasons- a dream and it was cold. James even woke because it was cold and nothing tends to bother him while he sleeps. There were some accidents on the 401, one fatality, which bogged down the holiday traffic. At the end of the workday I was quite tired and then I remembered - oh, I've been up since 3am!
