So full of PORK!!!
Another fantastic weekend! I drove down to the market and picked up Mel. We got back to Almonte and ordered Chinese food for the first time in about a year. YUMMY!!!! The last time Mel was up we bought the chiminea the day she left. We promised we would have a fire for her the next time she came, so in winter coats, mitts, hats, and blankets we had a wonderful blaze. We bought the fire logs from the grocery store and I have to say they were so much more convenient! I mean we lit the ends and sucker was an inferno for the two and a half hours we could take the cold outside! I didn’t have to poke the fire once! On the other hand the other way is with the free firewood that you can pick up from the truss company outside of town. The fire logs were $3.99 a piece…anyway, it was a fantastic night!
After I drove Mel home on Saturday I popped by KCh’s place on the way home. His dog, Charlie, was “fixed” last Friday and he has been having a hard time keeping her quiet. I took him out to the grocery store to get him some fresh air, he is on call this week too, and then dropped him off and drove home. Saturday night was just hanging out in front of the TV and relaxing. Sunday we were up early and got the Christmas lights finished. I started them on Thursday night to try to beat the weather coming on Saturday. An hour and a half on the roof in the wind we have been having was...interesting? We had to go back to the store to get a different kind of clip to finish and by the time I got back it was too dark to get on top of the ladder. J had to get on the climb up the ladder to install the extra clips to finish the line I wanted. IT LOOKS GREAT!!!! We won't be turning them on until after The Boy's birthday on the 28th of November.
I’ve re-organized the closet full of winter gear, replaced the shower-head in the upstairs bathroom, did five loads of laundry, took all the hard-ware (face plates to the light switches and electrical outlets) off of the hallway to the bedroom and washed all the walls up there. This is all in prep for painting. Next I went down to the bar and stripped it as well. I also popped all the trim off, got the pliers and ripped all the broken nails out of the walls, washed the walls here too, and then got out the putty and filled all the holes. After I help J clear up from an AWESOME dinner of roasted pork shoulder (with carrots, mashed potato’s, vegetarian gravy, and broccoli. See my link to The Food Geek for the future post.), he is going to be priming the bar while I fold laundry. PHEW!!!! I’m glad I was totally lazy yesterday ‘cause I have worked my butt off today!

THE MEL WEEKEND COMETH!!!
This weekend has been awesome! Friday night was hanging out at the house. Didn’t go anywhere, just laid down on the couch with my Sweetie and watched X3. In my opinion, although I acknowledge to the nerds that it doesn’t follow the comic book plot lines, was an awesome movie! Very smooth, very entertaining. Saturday was hanging out around the house not doing much except relaxing and playing with the boy. Sunday had some work involved with laundry, painting of some of the rough spots around the house and tidying up the storage area in the basement. I took the Boy to the park in the morning…before it SNOWED! Can you frickin’ believe it snowed before it’s even NOVEMBER!?! GAH! I bought a pair of stools from our YIG at an awesome sale price of $24.98 a piece. I think they go very well with our bar. What do you think?
This week should be interesting, lots of meetings and there still isn’t anyone hired into Marshy’s spot so I’m still by myself. Oh well, at least I have a Mel weekend to look forward too! YAY MEL!!! I’m buffing the blender for us now! Just a quick flash back to the last bit of drunken revelry that happened...:)
AAAAAHHHHH!!! You can't beat drunk blue Smartie lips! I have a package of Key Lime Smoothies with our names on it!

Fredericton...
IT IS TIME. For the vacation post! We had set the alarm for 5am on Saturday morning so that we could have a good breakfast and get on the road. At 4am I have a massive nightmare and wake up in a cold sweat. 5 minutes later I hear The Boy…giggling!?! Then he starts calling for Mommy. When I get to his room and ask him what was wrong he asks me why I was calling him! I told him it was a dream and crawled into bed with him and started rubbing his back. After a little while I realize that it’s less then an hour away from when the alarm is scheduled to go and both The Boy and I are awake. At this point I send him in to wake up J so that we can get going. After having breakfast, packing the car, and doing a final bathroom break we start out. Things are going well and we get all the way to the Blair Rd. turn off when I screech out, “OH MY GOD I FORGOT MY PURSE!!!”. It contains my drivers license, the Boy and my health cards, me MP3 Player, my palm pilot, and my cell phone as well as other miscellaneous things. It has taken us an hour to get to this point, we are not turning around ‘cause if we do it’s going to be two hours before we get back to the same spot. I have many, many moments of self rage throughout the day over this. We get to Montreal and take the right turn off to get to the tunnel…and accidentally turn off the highway into Montreal!?! Wrong turn one of the day. We get back to the right road with no incident and continue on our way. We do several stops with us taking the Boy into the bathroom and then running his face off in the parks provided. We had fun pointing out land marks along the way. Rivers, mountains, the giant egg, the giant husky dog, bridges…bridges that we are suddenly going across that we shouldn’t be!?! Wrong turn number two of the day. Suddenly we are in Quebec City!?! 
Insert wrong turns three and four as we try to get back to highway 20. We ended up doing a lovely tour along the river and got to see a pretty cool church on the edge of a cliff. Anyway, we got back to the main road okay and eventually got to Fredericton.
A great week was had with Marco, Kelly, and Emily. The kids loved each other and spent most of their time together making each other giggle their faces off.
Because I had left my driver’s license at home I was pretty much house bound and didn’t go out unless J was driving. On Sunday I went on a girls’ day to Moncton with Kelly shopping, Monday was Thanksgiving dinner with J’s family out at him mom’s place in Minto, Tuesday was hanging out at home with the Boy during the day then taking him back to Minto for an overnight stay with Nana. J and I went out for awesome dinner at Mei’s for CURRY NOODLES with ANGERAH, 
Wednesday was Cindy and George’s place for another family dinner and picking up The Boy, Thursday was dinner with Marco and Kelly, Friday was dinner with them again and an aborted trip to Rob and Betty’s place. We then packed the car and got up early on Saturday morning to get to Boyce’s Farmer’s Market before hitting the road. Got a MASSIVE tray of home-made baklava, but there weren’t any Samosa’s that day! ( The drive home was great with the Boy sleeping four times during the drive. 
We got home at about 6pm that night. Sunday was cleaning the house then Monday was back at work. PHEW!!! I need a vacation….

Oh So Blergy...
So...tired.
Have been back from vacation since Saturday night. Slept like the dead, worked all day Sunday to clean the house and do three loads of laundry...yes they are still not folded and put away. Have done an hour of overtime every night with week. Tomorrow night is movie night so something to look forward to.
Will try to finish my vacatino posts later this week if not this weekend. We have no plans scheduled so should get some free time.

Pre-Thanksgiving Weekend!
Let’s go back about two weeks ago. I have been so lazy about my blog that I thought the best way to catch up was to three separate posts covering everything.
The Boy, J and I drove down to my parents’ house in Cobourg on the Friday night. Great drive, no problems, plus we did our traditional stop at McDonalds for dinner to be eaten in the car on our way. The driver is also traditionally fed by the person in the navigator seat. "FRY!" :) We had brought the Boy’s bike in the truck so as soon as we got there we had him out and driving around my parents’ cul-de-sac for about an hour. It tired him out really well, although it did not with his sleep during that night. He had a really bad tummy and was up crying a couple times so I ended up sleeping next to him for half the night. Not a bad deal since when J and I sleep there we are in a double sized bed. The next day was cloudy so we headed out to the Roseneath Fair early. It was about 10am when we arrived. The Boy went right in the first barn and started getting acquainted with all of the baby animals. It was at this point that I started my cross country trip. We had brought a limited amount of cash to try to budget our trip. Little did we know that it would cost $14 just to get in the park! I walked from one end of Roseneath to the other looking for an ATM before was told it was at a gas station at the other end of town. At that point I had to hop in the car and drive there, get the cash, drive back and find the boys. They had been fine this whole time because The Boy had gotten to hold baby ducks, chickens, and bunnies. This is when the fun started. We perched our boy on a pony for a $3 ride,
the 200-year-old, fully-restored, carousel for the first of THREE rides for the day, 
the baby roller coaster, 
the two-storey Farris wheel, 
and finally the Scrambler. 
Not one moment of fear was had by my son! J only went on the Merry-Go-Round with him for two of the rides, while I did the other ones. We also watched a black smith demonstration and had a bite to eat. On the way back to the car my Monster saw the mid-way so off we went to do Skee-ball, the water-gun race game where we won a turtle for the kid, and finally the ping-pong ball toss to win a $5 gold fish. We talked the Boy into letting the fish stay at Nana and Poppa’s house so that it could go to Nana’s school and live with the other fishes. Monday morning we received this email:
“am sorry to announce the death of CHARLIE THE FISH at approximately 7:25 am this day the 2nd day of October, 2006. He went towards the big light in the aquarium in the sky. Those attending the interment in the downstairs toilet were Paul Alexander Dean and Brigit Dean. Grama Dean did not attend as she was too overwhelmed and had to got to work. We will keep special memories of Charlie in our hearts forever and ever.”
I love my Mom! She’s silly! So over all it was a $60 day but the memories that we made we worth it! Dinner that night with my brother, his wife, and Josh. My dad made Mike Dunn’s recipe for baked beans…yes, there was a VERY musical night after that! Anyway, headed home on the Sunday to prepare for my first week without Marshy being with me in the office. Turns out there was a major lawsuit thing happening so I had to go to meeting with a bunch of VP’s and then spread the word about what was needed to get the information to the lawyers. I felt very self important. Also, I left the whole thing in Marshy’s lap while I went on a week’s vacation to Fredericton! Tee hee! Ah, the satisfaction is sweet!
Anyway, See following posts about the vacation.
TTFN!
