Weekend Recap In Pictures

This weekend we had the pleasure of attending a wedding. One of Adam's cousins was married. It was an eventful and amazing weekend. 
Beautiful drive to my sister's place....I heart fall leaves
After driving 2.5 hours Friday night, we realized that while packing that both of us had neglected to pack the garment bag that was on the bed. This bag...not only had my dress but Adam's dress shirt and pants for the wedding...oops! Do we drive home and then 5 hours to the wedding very early Saturday morning or do we buy new clothes? We woke up early Saturday morning, drove for an hour and stopped at a mall to buy new clothes for the wedding.
This is me changing in a very tiny bathroom at a restaurant around the corner from the church 15 minutes before the wedding.
This is the $20 dress that I bought in just a few minutes.
Adam's outfit did not cost $20 but we're still smiling. The worst part about this...Thursday night we went shopping and both bought new outfits! I can guarantee that we will not forget that garment bag again!

Christ Anglican Church in Bobcaygeon, ON
The church is about a 140 years old and holds special meaning for Adam's family as  Adam's great grandfather attended this church after arriving from England. Stunning.

The reception space was perfect. Amazing food, great music and time spent with family. These really are life's best moments.
Bobcaygeon Inn...old, historic and interesting. Oh...and where I also ran into Kenny Rogers at 2 o'clock in the morning. Okay...it was a Kenny Rogers impersonator but hey...it was still cool.
Love the Bagpipes
Adam's sister Emily. I love this girl...it helps that she's my kind of crazy!

How was your weekend?

    Oh Janet I saw on fb that you forgot your clothes! The dress you found looks great though and you will never make that same mistake again. Looking forward to your vlog!

    I can't believe you found that dress for $20! What a bargain. And I have to say that forgetting your garmet bag at home is totally something I would do. My BFF got married last year one state away from where I live and I left all my makeup at home. I was the maid of honor. Fortunately, the other ladies in the bridal party let me borrow their makeup.

Huh?

Every once in awhile I'll take a peek at how people are being directed to my blog and usually I see what I expect. There are usually words/terms that you would expect if someone searches for IVF or infertility. One from this morning though got me going "huh". It appears that someone was directed to my blog by searching "Can pregnant women eat Singapore Mei Fun". 

I had no idea what that was so I turned to the all knowing Google to educate me.  Turns out that it's a very yummy looking dish chalk full of shrimp, bean sprouts and noodles. Yummm...if I didn't have an anaphylactic allergy to shellfish, I'm sure  I would try it. It puzzles me though how that search term would have led someone to this blog. 
Things that make you go huh?

Holy Shit Balls

Image
I hope my title did not offend you, it's just that I'm simply trying to convey my reaction when I looked down at that sad looking little piece of plastic that I had recently peed on a cold and dismal January morning and saw two lines starting back at me.

"Holy shit balls" 

There simply can't be two lines...there are never two lines...things that Janet pee on don't produce two lines, only one line. Janet's hostile uterus had rejected all previous attempts to be occupied so those two lines must be some kind of mistake. 

I went about my day. 

Next day...two lines a little darker.

Third day...two lines yet a little darker. 

Funny universe. Very funny. You are such a cruel tease. This is what I was telling myself. I was preparing, perhaps even trying to protect myself from what I believed to be, the inevitable, heart wrenching disappoint I had gotten used to. 

It's now Monday, January 6th and on my way to work, I stop in an buy a digital test. I clutched said tes…

When I Was Your Age...

Image
The older my children get, I find myself...with increasing frequency, starting sentences with a phrase I thought I’d never say: “When I was your age…” Yup, nothing says you’re old like those words, which have been uttered by old people since the Industrial Revolution.

Usually, “when I was your age” serves as a cop-out for my cheapness. I say things like, “When I was your age, I only had two shoes” (commonly known as one pair), or “When I was your age, we only had four channels, and one of them was in French.”
But there is one statement that I wish to shout from a roof top. It is: “When I was your age, the toys were better.” If you look at some of the top toys on this years Christmas wish lists, you see cheap plastic crap that I am loathe to buy for Lochlan.

I miss the toys of my childhood, all of which I wish my parents still had. Yes, with five children, had they kept our toys, they would now have a moderate-sized toy collection, a Narnia closet leading to Fisher Price Land, that would …
