Fast Weekend
My god the weekends scoot by quickly. There's never enough time to do everything I want it seems, and since I only see B on the weekend it feels like it's over even before it begins. It was a nice weekend though. Friday night was Ascension's grad so I babysat Rory and Nolan for a couple of hours. That was a treat! They love when I come over to put them to bed, Rory especially. He gets so excited bless his boots :)
Saturday we went to Carbonear and I bought a new wallet to match the purse J brought me back from Florida. Saturday night A and J were here and the four of us, me, A, J and B, played cards and had a few drinks. What a laugh! Aunt M was here as well. She'd bought a dog in Town and stayed here overnight so she wouldn't have to make the 6 hour drive home so late in the evening. Oh, her dog is a sweetie. She's an Australian Sheep dog. Very beautiful and playful (only 4 months old) licking all over my face to give kisses! Makes me want my own dog even worse than I already did!
May 24 weekend is almost here. I'm hoping the weather warms up a little bit. I think I might like to go camping for one night at least but if it's too cold I shall be staying home to sleep in my comfy warm bed! I do love to be warm!
Jordan's birthday was on Friday (April 28). I'm still getting used to the fact that he's 14 now! Before I know it he'll be going to Ascension! Everyone is growing up. Where is the time going I wonder? Makes me feel old. Birthday 26 is coming up for me soon! Holy smokes.
I must scoot. I'm out of things to say for now! Take care.

Lovely Holiday
It doesn't take long for 10 days to scoot by that's for sure. I'm back to work again tomorrow after having a very nice Easter holiday. I spent every day of it with B :D and we had great times indeed.
I went to St. John's last Sunday and stayed until Wednesday, and B came out with me that day and went back today (Sunday). I was quite sick though on Sunday night when I got there. I was up all night vomiting and then spent all day Monday recovering on the couch! It was just as well, the weather was gross anyway. Tuesday was a gorgeous day so we went to the mall and had lunch and did some shopping and went to Second Cup and had coffee and cake and a lovely chat. We went to Ponderosa with P for supper. My first time ever there.
I'm so anxious for J to get back from Florida! She's due back Monday night so I expect she'll be over on Tuesday. I'm dying to see what she'll bring! She'll be nice and brown and I'll be jealous of her tan!
Summer (and the end of the school year) is creepng up on me. I wonder what the Shortall's are planning for September. Nobody has mentioned anything to me yet so I'm not sure what my plans will be. I'm not even sure I want to go back. I do and I don't. I adore the boys but I'd sort of like a change. We'll see what happens when the time comes I guess.
Not much more to report so I'll go on again. Take care of yourselves.

Just call me Bebe
Chris went to St. John's this morning to do his PARE. He was so nervous until he got there. Anticipation is killer! He had an amazing time, done so well. All the people were given 4 minutes 45 seconds to complete it and Chris finished in 3 minutes 18 seconds! Second best time of the morning! I'm so excited and nervous for him. I feel exactly the same as I did a few years ago when D was going through all of this. It seems everything is happening so fast. Before we know it we'll be waving goodbye to the plane that's taking him to Regina.
I had a great weekend. B was out (as usual!) and on Saturday we went to Carbonear for some shopping and then to Jungle Jim's for a late supper. It was lovely. On Sunday we went out to supper with his mom, K and P, to the new chinese place that's opened on Spaniards Bay beach. They have a buffet. The food is ok, though not as good as Rest. 99.
Andrew's girlfriend J is gone to Florida for a three week holiday! I'm so jealous :P She's gone with her aunts and female cousins. An all girl holiday. They've already been to a flea market where you can barter and get expensive name brand things for extremely cheap. She took some money for me and already has me a purse and a ring! She's going to get me some more stuff when they go back to the flea market later this week. I can't wait for her to get back! Presents for me! :D And presents for B!
I think that's it from me for now. Take care everyone.

Happy Birthday to B!
This past Tuesday (March 28) was B's birthday, so we celebrated it this weekend. Mr. Birthday Boy has been celebrating it for a week though! Last Sunday we went to Jungle Jim's with his mom for supper and this Friday night when he came out I had him a cake and some wine and presents and on Saturday we went to Rest. 99 for supper! :D Then, today (Sunday), we went to his mom's for cold plates and cake! So it's been a great birthday for him I think it's safe to say! I hope he enjoyed himself :)
I'm so happy to see the snow melting. I'm looking forward to when every last bit of it is gone. It's nice to see the grass again. Winter never has been my favorite season. The only thing I like about it is that every day is a sweater day!
Easter holidays are coming soon. I'm looking forward to having a few days off so I can sleep in and try to get some more tidying and rearranging done in my room. Also, I think I might go to St. John's for a couple of days and stay at B's, and spend some time with him in there. I'd really like to go downtown to get some breakfast and do some shopping. We'll see how things go I suppose.
I hope everyone is taking care of themselves. I'll mosey on again now.
