Well rested

Last night I caught up on a lot of sleep. My co–worker said he would drop my suitcase off at my house so I wouldn’t have to bring it to the Dentist’s office — which was so fantastic of him, especially since he’s on crutches! I ended up not having any supper last night as the anesthetic from my gums were wearing off around that time and it felt like I had my braces tightened or like a tooth ache. I’m always weary about eating/drinking anything after a filling so I never do.

After being awake for so long the night before, I thought my best bet was head straight to bed while it was still light out.  I had nearly 12 hours sleep and I’ve gotta say I’m quite well rested right now! Before I headed to bed though I caught up on a lot of blog–reads and took some photos of what I bought while I was in Newfoundland. I didn’t have any time at all, while I was home.  But my Mom made time for me on my last day there, so we headed out to BOTH locations of Winners (my favorite store) to see if I could find any deals on purses, ’cause that’s what I’m all about.

No purses were to my liking but I ended up buying a work out top and 2 towels from there. We then headed to a cheapy Clarie’s Accessories type of store, I don’t remember the name — but I picked up 3 pairs of sunglasses for $15!!! Initially two years ago I found a pair of sunglasses (exactly like the one’s pictured) at Winners for $15 and I’ve completely worn them out. I’ve even looked for an expensive replica pair but haven’t found any that fit my face or look nice on me. So, of course I bought as many as I saw on the rack that looked exactly like mine! That was only two pairs however, so I had to find another wonky pair that would fit my weird face, so I bought a black pair that looks just okay.

I usually buy all of my work out wear at Winners because they’re nice yet the price is so right. This Adidas sports tank was $16.99.

Above is a shot of my two Nautica beach towels that were purchased for $14.99 each, and boy are they ever huge — 6 feet tall and I’m not quite sure of the width, but you can kind of see for yourself there. Aren’t they just so nice and summery? I love the greens and I usually never go for green because I just don’t like the color, normally. They’re really great quality too, nice and thick. I may not even use these for the beach and just use it for everyday showering. Oohh new towels make me so happy.

As a surprise when we were lining up at the cash register I jokingly asked my Mom if she could pay for one of the three items (1 of 2 towels or sport tank) and she didn’t say anything and then purchased all of them for me. Awesome, thanks Momma. ♥

Below are closeups of my 3 backup pairs of shades — which were again, purchased from a different store that I told you about above.

I can’t wait until lunch time. I bought a ceasar salad at the grocery store this morning and my mouth is totally watering just thinking about it. 1 more hour!!

Shortn’ sweet

And just like that, I’m back in Ontario like nothing has changed.

Unfortunately this trip to Newfoundland was an unexpected one so it wasn’t exactly a vacation time per say. I probably shouldn’t have even told anyone I was going to be home because I was there to spend time with my parents. It wasn’t a time for socializing that’s for sure. Let’s just not get into details, shall we? This is a fun blog and not a serious one about what’s going on in my life, even though some times I’d like to tell you all exactly what’s going on and spill my guts. I’m just not that type of person, I’m quite private and it probably won’t be happening on this blog. lol. That’s that then.

I ended up flying out of Toronto on Wednesday at midnight and flew back this morning. I’m running on two hours sleep at the moment, and on top of that — after a full day of work I have to go to my dentist and get my filling replaced!

I don’t know when I’m going to be able to get something to eat (besides lunch) because my mouth is totally going to be frozen. 

It’s funny, every time I visit back home the weather is total garbage, guaranteed. No matter the time of year I go, it’ll always be RDF (rain, drizzle and fog) and holy, was I ever freezing my BUNS off! It was a bit ridiculous for the middle of the summer. I didn’t end up wearing any of my shorts, and I always wore socks — who wears socks in the summer!? Not I obviously, I actually had to go buy some at Zellers which I doubled up on my feet and wore them inside a pair of leather shoes and since it was raining … they ended up dying my socks and looking totally mental. Well, that was a waste of my Mom’s money.

I did end up buying a couple of things at one of my favorite Canadian stores — Winners. I will perhaps post photos when I get everything together. Exciting!

Well, off I go — back onto the regular mundane things in my life. Have a great Tuesday all!

Bright eyed and bushy tailed

Surprise! Guess where I AM!!!! I’m in Newfoundland.

Well, I guess you got theat from the previous post because I actually have been blogging from home for a couple of days now. Unfortunately tomorrow is my last day home and I get back on the airplane way too early on Tuesday morning, work that day AND have a dentist appointment to replace a filling after I get off work. I think I need a couple of shots of Capresso to get me through that busy filled day. Eugh, even talking about it is making me dread it.

So haiiii. I was up bright and early this morning to watch the local “Tele 10” road race where all my relatives, neighbours and even boyfriend raced then long 10 mile journey around town. I’m so proud! He placed 20th overall in a race with 2,300 people. NUTS!

That’s all for now…
