PB & The Hair Dresser

We always have fun.. when we visit our hair dresser, Francine. I swear we can talk up a storm.. and seriously .. i think they really have a gift to make you feel comfy.. and i bet she can talk to just about anyone.. and everyone.. about anything.

So here we were talking about her new car.. and the car shops in general in this town. She told us about her recent experience and we told her about ours. Francine had mentioned something about her husband saying to the car sales man.. that if she was happy .. everyone would be.. .muahhahahaha!!! with a funny face at that. I can just imagine.. Derrick doing that. But PB was very quick to reply to that .. “if i had done that.. i would be so bitched at for the next 3 days.” .. muahahhahahaha!!! which brings me back to why i wrote this… all because of what Sesame Seed wrote on bad mouthing the spouse, very interesting..!! do you bad mouth your spouse..??

Just Us

Photobucket

My first time wearing sandals this summer.. i thought it was a good idea.. to take a picture of my family and I together. Nice way to remind myself.. what we mean to each other.. and have some fun.. looking outta the box. I can never ask for a better family. We’ll always be there for each other.. and count our blessings. What about you..?? Are you as grateful as I am .. for having our family together..?

The Art Of A Good Union/Marriage

So what is the art of a good marriage or union.. ?? we all know that in any relationship.. it is an uphill task. Having a wedding ceremony. .and a reception . .and for those from home.. a huge wedding dinner. .in the fanciest restaurant.. is just the beginning. .and not the end of all the hoo – haas with your life together.

I don’t professed to be an expert .. or a old timer.. but i think a good combination of having a spouse and the in-laws who don’t get all agitated or upset with little stuff.. may be the key to a good union. PB and the in-laws. .they don’t sweat the smart stuff.. on top of everything.. they don’t interfere. The man is not tied to his mother’s apron strings .. that is a plus too. Plus, he doesn’t get all worked up.. when i am.. so we are never in the same fight at the same time.

What is your deal with a good marriage/union..?? pray tell.

A Big Box

There are awesome ppl here in Yarmouth .. although we have had our fair shares of not so good ones too. But today .. we received a huge box of goodies that the brat loves so much . . and we are forever grateful to our customer for bringing it back for us from Halifax. Can you guessed what we had..?? You can’t imagine what this simple food can do to someone who misses home so much.. and so very deprived of food from home. Check it out here.

My Simple Philosophy Of Life

I was telling PB today.. that i have a very simple philosophy of life and it’s only one. Very simple.. very easy to remember.. and everything else pale in comparison. Can you guess what it is..?? Share with me.. what is your ultimate philosophy in life with me eh. For my one and only philosophy in my life is “nothing else is more important than my daughter”. As soon as we get home from work.. we take care of her first.. and nothing else matters. Groceries can wait.. eating for ourselves can also wait. First to take care of her needs and wants.. and the rest can come. So what is your most important philosophy in your life right now..?

Another Toy???

The man had been so great .. during my health episodes.. and was staying in the hospital with me.. full time.. and not even complaining at all. And now that the prices of the playstation 3 are so cheap .. and one with a 40 gig going for less than $400 .. i am seriously considering buying it for him. But he already has so many toys.. plus since we own our own store.. and do get a fair bit of previously owned systems.. we are just too spoilt to get a new one. I’ll probably wait till a used one comes in eh..?

Tomorrow Is A Big Day

Tomorrow is a BIG day for us..!! it marks another milestone for us .. and for the brat too. Chloe goes to “Ready, Set, Go” program.. that gets her ready for school this fall. She will be in school from tomorrow till Friday.

I think i am more excited than she is.. or should i say worried. Today .. we went thru’ the routine.. of bringing her to school.. and explaining to her what will go on.. and helping her understand.. what she has gotta do for lunch and her break. I’m a wee bit breathless.. just thinking about it. I think i’m gonna be the one who will be having separation issues tomorrow. Any wise and experienced mom out there..?? care to give me a tip or two..??

Nail Cutting

Photobucket

This must be one of the reasons .. why i fell in love with PB ..?? yes.. he takes care of Chloe’s every need.. when i can’t. From bathing her.. to cooking for her.. and washing her bottles.. or changing her diapers.. and wiping her poopie. Chloe is definitely blessed.. coz’ i never had a papa that was so good to me. Love is not blind .. because it was PB’s caring nature.. and non dramatic nature that i fell in love with.

Priceless

Photobucket

This was taken on Sunday.. when we were out having lunch at Pizza Delight. A late lunch at that.. ! but the picture of PB is priceless.. !! because you rarely see him smile..!! well.. unless he was gaming with tubby.. (his friend forever type). Yes..! this is the face of the man.. i traveled thousands of miles from the other end of the world.. to be with in December 2000. A man who rarely talks alot.. nor smile alot, so when he is smiling like that. .one has gotta take a picture of him right..?? plus i take good pictures.. ! not like him.. taking fat pictures of me.. !!

My First Tim’s Coffee

My first Tim Hortons coffee after 3.5 weeks. Ahhhh..!!! bliss..!! I had my first surgery to remove my fibroids.. and had a hysterectomy in the meantime. But a week after surgery.. i had to go into the hospital again.. for an emergency laparoscopic surgery. Now the second surgery was more a shocking one.. because we didn’t know what was happening and threw my recovery time backwards instead of forward.. which by the way . .. i resent deeply.

Anyhow.. i hope this is all behind me now.. and i’m aiming to bring my weight down to 59kg.. !! wish me luck.. eh..! I haven’t started journaling my operation yet.. but i will as soon as i feel better. All of you should watch out for it.. because i have very graphic pictures.. and only one person had seen it so far. Check with Barb.. how gross it is.. if you want. When i am done writing my experience.. i’ll let you know where my health blog is. But you can also visit my food blog in the meantime.. and drop a comment.. 🙂 Ice Cube Junkie
