Sid (sister #1): He’s gonna be an air condition kinda guy

Lissa (sister #2): You know what’s the best? The window down with the a/c running as well

Sid: So, what you’re saying is that you’re ok with destroying the environment AND wasting gas…

Lissa: Well, I guess so

Me: You should go work for bp then!

This summer vacation, the kids are helping me pack and unpack. And maybe build a shelf-thingy here and there. It’ll be awesome!

I am not watching the World Cup. Yeah, me and the one other person in the world, decided not to watch. Here’s the thing, I can’t watch it by myself. I get frustrated when I have no one to talk to about it… Right. My 7 year old puts it on sometimes, and he’ll stand in the middle of the room and kick an imaginary soccer ball. I watch him!

So anyway – the G20 basically has Toronto in lock down, so you know, the entire GTA has the day off to watch football! The closest thing I saw of the $1 billion in security was a very cool looking huge, military plane-thingy as I was driving by the airport one day.

In other news, I have neck muscle spasms… yeah… from “stress” apparently. It’s NOT fun, let me tell you, but the muscle relaxants are niiiiice! wink

K, happy friday!

]]> life in canada 2010-06-25T18:33:55+00:00 Organica was here http://www.adventures-in-motherhood.com/article/organica-was-here/ http://www.adventures-in-motherhood.com/article/organica-was-here/#When:14:24:54Z And she brought us cheesecake! smile

She forced me freeze some of the slices after convincing me that it was a bad idea to consume all of that cheesecake at one time.

So. Organica. I forget that we met as bloggers. She’s an awesome person and friend, and even from the first time we met, I felt like I knew her forever.

I felt really bad this visit because I had no time to take her out or do anything fun – she basically had to live my life for 4 days! Which, let me say, as the person that does live my life, is not fun! But she was great with it, helping with the kids, and other various “chores”, like the moving of tables and chairs… out in the rain, driving all over the place… sometimes without a proper meal even – it was a very crazy week!

Sorry Organica!!! I kinda wanted to hide my head in shame when she told the story of her “vacation with shaz” to anyone. smile

I loved having her around, I love her company, and we did laugh a lot! I’m waiting for her to move to Ontario! smile
