Weekend Update
Weekend Update!
My weekend started out Friday night when My Man brought home Jimmy Johns for dinner. We usually stay in on Friday since we are all kinds tired from the week. We eat at home, have some wine and watch TV. I had intended to go to bed early since I had worked out with my trainer and took a yoga class but ended up reading to almost midnight! Damn books!
Saturday I took The Boy to guitar and then we hit Whole Foods. We decided to make Tuna Steaks, grilled Bok Choy, scallops and wasabi mashed potatoes for dinner that night. After we got home, I went into throw away mode. I cleaned out the pantry (found rice that went bad in 2011), the two places we store medicine (found more stuff that expired in 2011), cleaned out the utensil drawer, got rid of The Boys baby glasses and plates, went through my closet and got ride of old workout clothes and winter items I haven’t worn in two years. I am hopping to work on my bathroom cabinets sometime this week. It feels so good to get ride of stuff that is just cluttering up my house. I really home this “feeling” stays around. We have so much crap we need to send to the trash.
Pretty
Saturday night we cooked, listened to jazz and drank some wine. After dinner, My Man and I watched Sky Fall. I must say, that Daniel Craig sure is pretty!!
Sunday was more cleaning, a friend’s birthday party at the park and dinner out with my boys. As always, I wish weekends were at least three days.
Today was busy. Along with work, I was busy on the phone making Vet appointments, calling the tree people to see if they could come out this week, calling the pool people and the bank. My Man and I have decided to take out a home equity line of credit and use the money to fix and re-finish our pool. We have chosen pebble tec for the surface.

We are going to go with a dark gray color. After we take care of the pool, we also want to fix our side yard and replace some bushes that have died. Then there is the outside lights, the front door, carpet….the list goes on and on. Good thing we are not planning on moving anytime soon. We will need all the time we can get to get everything done and paid for!
Question: What do you need to throw out?

What?
You say it’s my Birthday!
Well, it is almost my birthday. I will be turning 40 on May 13th this year. I know the big 40 is a big birthday for most people but for me it is huge. By the time I had turned 30, I had lost my left leg to cancer and had shattered my left knee and femur. I had been married for a little over 3 years to My Man, so my for goals for the next 10 years were simple:
- Be Alive
- Have 2 children
- Have my original knee
Well, I am happy to say, I am alive (knock on wood!), I have my original knee (it has issues but it is still working) and I have The Boy. The plan was to have two children but shit happens. In my case, two more cancer diagnoses. Sometimes, I wish we had our little girl Poppy but The Boy is such a joy. I love it being the three of us, My Boys.
My Man knows how big turning the 40 is to me, so he is planning a trip for the two of us. He had a Plan A that did not pan out but that is ok. We will go to the French Laundry soon. You can bet on that!
Quebec City
So last Saturday he asked me “where do you want to go”? Ideas were thrown out, New Orleans, NYC, Montreal… In the end, after Justin spoke to a friend of his, we picked Quebec City, Quebec. We are going in June, so Nana Pete and Papa can come over and take care of The Boy.
We are staying at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. I have read and our friends who have been there agree, that Quebec City, it is the most European City in North America. I can’t wait. My Man has looked up restaurant’s for us to check out. I have been looking at their websites and can’t help but get hungry. The food looks so good. We are going to make our reservations this weekend.
If any of you have been to Quebec City and have some favorite places to see, do or eat, let me know. I will of course keep you update and will take lots of photo’s when we go.
