101 List Updated...

Yay, I have a few more items that I can finally scratch off my 101 things to do in 1001 days.

#3: Take Piper to the Toronto Zoo: mission accomplished the weekend of Piper's 2nd birthday.

#32: Get my wedding ring resize: Only took me two years...which is so sad! But, they are resized and in their appropriate spot.

#37: Bring Romy to the groomers: I'm a little upset that I forget to take a before and after picture. But I did this at the end of May, just before the summer heat kicked in. She was so cute, the lady even put two little clips in her hair.. it was the cutest thing.

#78: Plant 2 apple trees: 1 apple tree has been planted in our yard. Chris as always wanted an apple to tree (which is just for hunting purposes) so Piper and I bought the 5-different types of apple tree for him for Father's Day. I thought I was going to need to buy 2 apple tress to help with cross-pollination but it turns out that you don't need too if you buy the apple tree that has 5 different kind of apples... who would have thought!

749 days left and only 16% complete .... starting to get a little nervous!

We Want to Know Wednesday!

I'm linking up with Impulsive Addict , Janette , Mamarazzi and Seriously Shawn



This weeks questions are:
1. Which activities make you lose track of time?
2. Is there such a thing as perfect?
3. When do you feel most like yourself?
4. Describe your life in a 6 word sentence.
5. Share one of your most beloved childhood memories.

1. Chit-chatting with people. It never fails. I leave my desk to go the bathroom and end up being gone for 20mins because I stop to chit-chat with people. I tell Chris I'll be right back, I'm just going to the mail, 30mins later I get home and tell him that I was chit-chatting with this person and then this person.

2. Perfect person, no way. Maybe a perfect dessert, or perfect present, perfect outfit, perfect birthday card, for sure!

3. At home, hanging around the house in my pj's.

4. A great wife, mother, sister, friend

5. The childhood memories that I always remember and Cherish, is spending a week or two every summer at my Grandma Mary's cottage at lawless lake. I don't really remember my grandpa a whole lot but my Grandma Mary was one of kind. Every kid wanted her as a their grandma!!
 It  was great, we would stay up late watching scary movies, we would live in our bathing suits - be in the lake by 7am every morning. If we wanted chips for breakfast we would. I remember going home with a purple finger because we were allowed to eat 'freshy' (powder juice mix) with our fingers. It was the greatest summer vacation ever for any child!

Potty Mouth Piper #2

Piper and I were cuddling on the couch, watching a new toddler show eating some delicious blueberries when Piper accidentally dropped one.With the annoyance in her voice, all I hear as she turns to pick it up is... HoLy F*ck (with the emphasis on the holy)

Of course, I don't react to it. I don't want her to think it's funny, so I just casually said that's not a nice word and let it be. But of course, Piper looks at me and says 'What?' with a confused look. I just ignored her.

I'm a big time potty mouth, I'm at the point where I don't even notice that I'm saying it.... and holy f*ck is one a use ....

Already 4 years....

I'm still in a little bit of awwww, that today is Chris and I's 4th year wedding anniversary! Technically, we've been together for 6 years but a wedding anniversary is so much more official.

Wedding Day - July 7, 2007

I still remember the big day like it was yesterday, and I hope I never stop forgetting all the small things.

Wedding Day - July 7, 2007. On my parents property

I'm so great to have found a great man. He still makes me laugh everyday, but he knows how to be serious when the time calls for it. He knows what I need and want when I'm sad. He does have a bit of a temper and short fuse, but it doesn't come out very often usually only when I'm being a royal bitch and start pressing the wrong buttons....but those fights are usually short lived.

Our greatest accomplishment, if of course is a no brainer: Piper Colleen Kelly. She is definitely the healthiest/beautifulest child a mommy could have ask for. It still melts my heart watching Chris play with her, and cuddle with her. He's an exceptional father!

Holding Piper for the very first time.... awww (then he passed her back full of poop)

So, here we our on 4 years and counting......

Which Movie?

Chris and I are going out for supper, movie and some shopping on Friday after work... but I can't decide which movie I want to see... any suggestions?

The movies that are on our potential list is:

Transformers 3 - this movie is over 2 hours long...

The hangover - it's been in theatres so long now that we could probably download it soon enough....

Larry Crowne - looks like a cute/romantic, but do we really want to pay to see that movie in theatres

Bad Teacher - I haven't heard alot about it, but it could be funny?
