Hi friends!
Hope your weekend is going fabulously :)
I didn’t end up doing a post yesterday since I was busy getting in as
much quality time with the fam as possible. Gotta live in the moment every once in a while!
I’m just on my way back to Ottawa on the Greyhound bus now – they
surprisingly actually have an internet connection, which is rare. I decided to
just suck it up and take the bus instead of trying to organize a rideshare
since it would have been a bit tricky to organize the two different legs of the
trip – Ottawa to Toronto, and then Toronto on to London.
On a side note, I have to admit that I actually love it when the bus
driver gives the little welcome speech on the bus – they stopped doing it for a
while (I would know this since I have made the back-and-forth trip to and from
London and/or Toronto MANY times in my life time. Many, many times) and now I
feel all nostalgic and fuzzy and warm on the inside whenever I take a bus and
the driver takes the time to introduce himself and whatnot.
It’s the little things, amiright??
First Friday
On Friday night, my Popser, Step Momster and little brosef (the youngest
one) went to ‘First Friday’ in Sarnia. It’s this cool event organized by the
city on the ‘main strip’ in town where all of the stores stay open late on the
first Friday of the month and have art exhibits or live bands playing and you
can go from one place to the next and enjoy the art scene in Sarnia, Ontario ;)
We met up with some family friends who are musicians, and ended up going
to a bar where an awesome jazz band was playing. We ended up staying there for
most of the night and even hit up the dance floor a bit.
If you are ever in the area, I would definitely recommend checking it
out and supporting the local artists!
Mini Christmas
If I was to give the weekend a theme song, it would have to be a tie
between these two:
- Timber - Pitbull feat. Kesha
- Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
Both are equally awesome at getting you into the baking mood ;)
As I mentioned the other day, I won’t be in Canada for Christmas (for
the second year in a row, oops!) so I decided to go for a wee little visit with
my Popster ahead of time.
Although there was no snow for our annual snow angel competition (I win
every time, obvi) we did manage to
make and decorate gingerbread cookies, decorate the Christmas tree – which was
cut in the backyard – and have a big turkey dinner with the extended family in
the area and sing some carols. And eat ALL THE DESSERTS.
My little sister actually played the clarinet for our carol session, so
talented!
Due to my iPhone incident *ahem* dropping my phone into the toilet *cough* I wasn’t even able to take any pictures the
entire weekend, but I have been promised that some will be sent to me soon, so
I will post them as soon as I receive them ;)
Workout
I feel like I’ve eaten enough delicious Christmas pastries (and icing)
for about 3 years worth of Christmases, so I did a quick little workout
yesterday before dinner.
I did three sets of the following:
30 squats
30 jumping jacks
30 forward lunge (alternating legs)
25 push-ups
20 side plank dips
And then went for a nice, although slightly freezing, walk with my
little bro and sister and the dogs. I think we worked off at least one serving
of turkey ;)
I actually have another early Christmas dinner tonight – I may not fit
into my jeans by the end of the weekend, for serious – so I will post my
fitness for the week tomorrow morning.
Have a great Sunday evening everyone!
