The wee little ones

No Comments

IMG_0137 copyIMG_0186 copy12I received these photos about two weeks ago in my email inbox from my Mom, but I failed to post them until now. These are my nephews. Four boys: Eoghan 17, Oisin 11, Kelan is 3 and Ruairi will be 2 next month. The spiderman pajamas’s are my favorite.

You see, my Brother now works on the oil rigs in Newfoundland, but he still resides in Ireland. That’s right. He flies back and fourth every three weeks from Newfoundland, to Ireland. Think that would get a bit tiring, no? Ya gotta do, what you gotta do to support a family of 6 hey? I hope they move to Canada (specifically Newfoundland) soon. Apparently that’s in the talks right now, but other than that I don’t know much.

I would so fly home on long weekends and holidays just to see their faces. I almost dislike looking at photos of them, because I am reminded as to how much I’m missing out on them growing up.

Stuck inside

1 Comment

Today I woke up really late, unintentionally. I’m talking 12:30! I suppose I must have needed the sleep. When I woke up I was in such a cleaning mood but I can’t exactly clean as much as I want to because most of the stuff that needs to be put away is my boyfriends. Mostly PAPER. I hate paper. There’s piles of paper, receipts, envelopes, printed out sheets in every room in this tiny apartment that we use. So today I tried to tackle that job and sort through it and tell him to sort through my pile to see if he wanted to keep anything, otherwise I’m bringing it to work on Monday to get shredded.

It’s still sitting on the couch.

I don’t feel like making anything for supper, so we’re having left overs. I also had to get out of the house today because I just don’t like being cooped up. I tried to not purchase any Halloween candy (we don’t get trick-or-treaters in the apartment building) for myself, and I did well. I ended up purchasing some birthday cards for family members who’s birthdays are at the end of November, and some wonderful toilet paper on sale (how awesome, right?), . Even though I don’t have to pay for toilet paper anymore (hello freebies/coupons from save.ca) I still had a few coupons I wanted to use up before they expired.

I present to you, Royale Bathroom Tissue. Originally $8.47, on sale for $4.99 with two $1 coupons = $3.99 each.

Hopefully that’s not the highlight of my entire weekend ;)

Outfit of the Day

oct21Outfit of the Day:

ootd-oct21

It’s been about a month since I wrote anything under the fashion category, which is just usually outfits of the day. But I wanted to show people my outfit of the day for October 21. I personally thought that I was looking pretty stylish, until I went back and checked to see when the last time I did an “OOTD” post, and it was  basically the same outfit minus a different pair of pants. Fashion fail.

Clearly this outfit is a favorite of mine.

Earrings: Forever 21
Rings: I have no idea, I’ve had these for years. Most likely bought from Smart Set?
Scarf: $20 at Abercrombie
Cardigan: J. Crew (So in ♥ with this cardy)
White Tee: Long sleeved basic tee from Abercrombie (Winter 2008)
Pants: Jacob from 2006. I bought these in Old Montreal, so long ago and I still get questioned if they’re brand new. They’re dressy jean material, but I never wear them anywhere besides work. So they still have a hardcore crease in them, even after I wash them. Nice.
Shoes: The giraffe patterned ones!

Ugh, it’s been a long week.
