It's just another Monday

Well, if you recall from my last post...I had a small list of things to do for the weekend. And (although it wasn't overly difficult) I managed to complete it all!

The house was cleaned. 
(Imagine a picture of a decently clean home).

Groceries were gotten (I even went for a nice walk to get them).

I didn't get it...but I saw it. Boy, did I ever see it...

And my toesies got painted!

You can even see a sweet George in there...

Most of my time (after coming back from errands), was spent like this. :D I definitely got some relaxing in ^.^

I even got a visit from a little Scotty on Friday night! His rig was shut down for the night. He looks a little disheveled...

Heck I even made banana bread! My first time too! It turned out pretty alright...a little crispy, but delicious :D! You're probably thinking...'What the heck?! You were complaining about hating bananas!'
Allow me to explain...
*ahem*
I, Trudy, do not hate bananas. I do however, hate the texture of bananas (slimy/gross). I also dislike banana 'flavored' things (as in artificially flavored). I don't mind bananas in both smoothies, and bread.
Understand? Good. 

Nummers~!

Other than this....I went to church (as per ush), and then went out to Scott's aunt and uncles place for pizza! I don't recall if I've mentioned it before...but they have a pizza oven! So delish~! (You don't even know)... I should've taken pictures....but alas, I did not. So, I got to see some of Scott's cousins! I've mentioned Tyler and Holly and then there were also a few others ;).

And that's pretty well it! It was a good weekend...and I'm sad it's over. Only 5 (ok, 4.5) more days until the next one!
Anyone get up to anything exciting??

We can get through this Monday together. Hopefully.

Ta ta for meow :)!

Happy Birthday to Me?(!)

Well hello there. It's my birthday. SURPRISE!

It's been a little bit because... well basically because I didn't feel like blogging/didn't have the time. :D

So this past weekend was a fun one :) It all began Friday night with sushi at Kinjo with Holly and Tyler (Scott's cousin and his cousin's wife - I've mentioned them before but I'm too lazy to go find where). And it was delish! I love Kinjo now :D (But I always get the same things...and I likely always will). Afterwards we headed over to Starbucks and Chapters for a hot beverage and a wander and to chat. Then it was back to our place for a bit for even more chatting. :D
Thanks Holly and Tyler, we'll have to do it again soon!
(Sorry you couldn't come up Nani...next time!)

Saturday was a nice relaxing day in the morning... and then in the evening it was my birthday fiesta! Benifred and Francesca came and we made tacos and commenced the beginning of the murder mystery Francesca had created. Basically, we were all different characters and we had to find who had murdered Senor Sanchez! Francesca gave us each clues that we were able to use to question each other.
It was really fun - thank you!

And we got a kitty cake :D

And Sunday was the Calgary Temple dedication. Which was also good...though our broadcast cut off part of the way through...

Last night, was dinner with Scott's family. Thanks everyone! Nice to see you all again :)!

Which brings us to my actual birthday today! The double deuce. Nothing too exciting...but it's nice to hear from everyone. Thanks for all the birthday greetings ;)

So here's 22 things...
A) you may not know about me
B) are on my mind
C) are birthday related.
So here goes!

1. I actually haven't had many birthday parties that weren't family related. When I was 18, I had a little gathering of friends and when I was 21...I had another. But when I was young, I don't even remember!
2. I don't really remember my birthday's when I was younger at all. Am I senile? Can you remember yours??
3. I really like ice cream cake. We still have a quarter of the DQ ice cream cake seen above :3
4. I never thought I'd be married before I was 22...not at all!
5. I have so many scratches on my hands from George, but I still love him.
6. I'm hungry. You should NOT be allowed to be hungry on your birthday dang it!
7. You should actually probably not have to work or do anything on your birthday at all.
8. I find it crazy that I've been living in Calgary for 2 years now. It seems like it's been much longer.
9. I also find it crazy how much my life has changed in the past 2 years! Especially the last year.
10. I miss the 2 sisters that used to live in Calgary... that was always fun.
11. I still get up early to work out even though I don't have to...I just prefer to get it done.
12. Yes I even worked out today.
13. Lambie asked me if I've seen results. Answer: No, because I still eat what I want most of the time.
14. I still don't know what to do with my life :<
15. I no longer have any living grandparents.
16. I still love spending time with family and friends.
17. I bet no one's still reading this list ;)
18. I really love Turtle Pecan Cluster blizzards. I bring this up not because I think about ice cream all the time (I do), but because I just got an email for buy one get one free blizzards from DQ :D
19. The last clothing related purchase I made was a Tower of Terror t-shirt from Disneyland and I haven't even worn it...
20. Other than that, I don't remember the last time I bought clothes. It's likely time to change that.
21. At least I can still fit into all the same clothes I guess? Or is that a bad thing?
22. I'm getting old. You can see when I smile how wrinkly I'm going to be (around my eyelets)! You chose this Scott!

So celebrate for me, and for goodness sakes...have some dang ice cream.

Toodles for meow :)!
