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?

It’s funny how much cleaning can get done when your kids want something. So far I got a week of relatively good behaviour, the girls’ bedroom got cleaned, the living-room vacuumed.

Then she tidied my desktop for good measure. All of this for the grand total of $2.99 (she wanted a new Minecraft skin for her characters). It was cheaper than an allowance.

Today I went to the eye doctor for the first time since 2010 (only slight changes). I then went in search of some new frames but had to put it off because they had dilated my pupils and I couldn’t see how any looked on me. I now have a bunch of random selfies on my phone that I took of me wearing different frames for reference.

Roo had her first Dungeons & Dragons “club” today and when I went to pick her up at the library I saw them all running after a girl who was clutching a book like her life depended on it. On the way back home I asked her why they were chasing someone and she told me that they were told the first person that could find a particular book on “tea eggs” (or something like that) would get to level up and receive a bunch of gold. It was Lord of the Flies: Dungeons & Dragons edition 😉

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?

If you follow any blogs at all you’ll see that many of them are starting to post about the upcoming Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s going to get obnoxious until it finishes on August 5th so consider yourself warned 😉 They released a sneak peak catalogue of some of the things that will be included in the sale and I have seen a lot of people complaining that they didn’t like the picks this year. I’m not going to lie, I do like a lot of it. Many pieces are different from their normal cookie cutter styles they put out so it’s nice to see some colour, patterns, and bolder styles. I don’t have a Nordstrom card so I won’t be able to jump on the early access train on July 12th. I’ll have to wait until it opens to the general public on July 20th like 90% of the rest of you who are planning on making some purchases. It’s the perfect time to find some fall deals for yourself or do some of the kids back to school shopping to avoid the crowds later.
