Busy Weekend
This long weekend is unique as we get 4 days off. So I planned to get tons of stuff done... so far I have:
Friday
- had lunch and went shopping with my mom to Quebec for the afternoon (for those of you who don't know, Ottawa is right beside the border of Quebec, so we can go over the Ottawa River anytime to shop, buy alcohol, etc. as they are almost always open. They also have a lower drinking age, 18, than we do...ours is 19)
- went to Ruth's in the evening with Zoe and Owen to play games.
Saturday
- cleaned the bathtub (long time coming)
- went to someone's "moving sale" and spent $100 on: a wooden table with 4 chairs, a wooden bookshelf and a lamp (all from IKEA)... I plan to use most of this stuff in my new office.
- got the groceries
- watched Fried Green Tomatoes with Zoe
- made a Prime Rib Roast, mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans for dinner
- had Darby, her kids and her hubby Guy over for dinner
- watched My Fair Lady with Zoe
Sunday
- made brunch: pancakes, bacon, eggs, fresh fruit salad (peaches, plums, grapefruit, oranges, pineapple, apples, kiwis, strawberries), home fries, scalloped potatoes, croissants, orange juice)
- Who came? Me, Eric, Dad, Dorothy, Sarah, Zoe, Owen, Amelia, Rob (her boyfriend), Ruth and Dennis
(more to come)
