Well, hello again friends! I have finally found some time to get back to the blog, and will try not to leave you hanging for so long again next time. I know, I know! You're all tired of sitting on the edges of your seats. So, there's a pot of coffee on, it's not quite warm enough to get out in the garden yet, and in order to avoid the laundry pile that seems to have taken on a life of it's own, here I am. Good thing I have work to procrastinate with!
First things first, we are lucky enough to be a part of the Live Love Large Benefit Concert, from which all proceeds go to the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation. This coming Friday, April 20th, we encourage everyone to make time for this great event and buy a ticket!
The jobs keep rolling in, and we're happy to know what we planned for so long to do, is working. Be your own boss if you can, it rules. You get to work out of bed sometimes, put it off till later, take breaks when you NEED to and not when someone tells you to, eat and drink wine on the job, have the dog at work, brag about it, be overwhelmingly proud of your own work, blast your own tunes, and work in your pajama's. Oh....you thought I got dressed this early? So silly.
Aaaaaaahhhh, its gardening season.....which everyone knows, we love. We have, after 2 years of talking about it, finally doubled the size of the vegetable garden! Although I suspect that my wonderful husband-to-be (more on wedding plans later) really just wanted the room to try his hand at potato farming. I'm excited to have the room to grow enough stuff to try my hand at canning. On the list this year: beans, lettuce, spinach, radishes, onions, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beets, and of course herbs. If we have any room left, I'd love to try cauliflower. But in the meantime, I'm happy enough to see the ferns and hosta's shooting up like crazy right now!
We very nervously pruned the grapevines (you would be shocked at the amount of conflicting and confusing information regarding this on the internet) and are going to get serious about making wine in the fall. Really this time. Cross your fingers we didn't totally screw this up....
Today is one of those days I'm up early, trying to prioritize the 50 things I'd like to get done, knowing that things never go according to plan. Ever start a list, knowing as you go along the things you're going to sacrifice already? It's a list makers dream. I'll get to make another one later! (That's already on the first list by the way.) The problem with a beautiful day, is that it's too hard to not take advantage of it. The problem with my desk, is that it is inside. Stupid desk.
73 days left until the wedding! It's the most exciting/nerve wracking thing on the planet. If you've done it, you know. The plans never end, every time you solidify one thing, something else pops up, an endless stream of both large and small tasks, an exhausting amount of questions that need answers....a pair of bloody shoes never seemed so important. And yet, it's fun to sit on Etsy for hours looking at pretty things, and having someone to discuss kids with that doesn't get creeped out and never call you again. When I get asked "Hey, how do you feel about the name Grover?", rather than spiral into the usual pre-proposal vortex of uncertainty l ("Is he asking me to have kids?" "Is that his beloved grandfathers name?" "Is he looking for an excuse for a fight to get out of this because of his commitment issues????!!!!"), the fun is in the comfort of knowing I can totally answer with "That is utterly ridiculous and you know it...did you switch over the laundry yet?"
Thanks for putting up with me today, but the higher ups are starting to look at me funny.
(I drank all the coffee, and no one has been walked yet.)
