So much to do and I am rapidly running out of time. I’ve seen a lot of people’s kids starting back up at school already, but school doesn’t start here until after Labour Day so I still have a bit of time to get everything I need to get done. Labour Day weekend is also Comicon and Merle wants to test out her Luna Lovegood Halloween costume by dressing up for it. This means that I need to get my shit together and finish the skirt and earrings before then.

I was trying to watch my eating this week by logging it in My Fitness Pal. I wanted to see the areas that I need to work on, but after this week I’m not sure that is a smart idea. I find that I am starving every night before bed by doing this, and if I try to ignore it I get light-headed and weak. I think that I am better off not documenting everything and just try to make healthier choices because right now my hands are shaking from bring so hungry. I think the new Ramen place down the street is calling my name.

I checked to mail today and was excited to see that my new Feminist AF pin arrived. I’m going to sport this baby everywhere. Maybe I’ll even buy a couple for the girls. $2 from every pin sold goes to Now Australia which is an organization that was inspired by the #metoo movement.

I got a couple of Zara gift cards for my birthday so I am actively watching the website for new fall arrivals. I’m looking forward to some new sweaters. Speaking of sweaters, Roo asked for some “soft and fuzzy” sweaters for fall and when I was shopping yesterday I found this one for her. It is neither soft, nor fuzzy but she loves it as I knew she would.

It’s long weekend here, just a Civic holiday so nothing special but long weekends are always fun. Even more so when it falls on your birthday 🙂 It’s Really hot and humid though so I’m not sure how enjoyable it will be. Tom was talking about taking the girls to Canada’s Wonderland this weekend but with the heat and the long weekend it will be insane. Neither kid does well in the heat and last time we went one got overheated and puked. I think it’s best to wait until early fall for that one. I just wish that things didn’t get so insane here on weekends (especially long ones) because I’d like to maybe do the Aquarium or Science Centre….I’ve got a kids get in free coupon for the Science Centre so that is the front-runner 😉

Tom asked me what I want for my birthday, and I’m drawing a blank. We don’t spend tons of money on each other for things like birthdays, usually around $100 or maybe $150 if it’s something that we really want. I have a few things in my virtual baskets that I haven’t bought yet that I could add to my birthday wish list, like this t-shirt, the Everlane dress that I mentioned last week, and this tee. I’m pretty easy-going though and would also love a Zara gift card or and upgrade to my phone (it’s due for one so I have some pretty good deals in my account I just haven’t got around to it yet). Any good ideas?

Hallelujah the heat finally broke. The fact that we had a heat wave that intense at the very start of summer has me cringing at the thought of what late July and August is going to bring us. The girls and I were Googling what cities we want to move to that are much more temperate and rainy than here. We narrowed it down to Edinburgh because Roo claims that the old part of the city reminds her of Harry Potter. Apparently that is a selling feature 😉 If only it were that easy to just pick up and move to another country (well, at least for us regular people).

My birthday is sneaking up quickly and I am still trying to figure out how I feel about being this close to 40. It feels like 20 was just yesterday. Is 40 the new 20?
