Short work week certainly flew by, didn’t it!

anniversary flowers

On the 4th was my parents wedding anniversary and it slipped my mind completely — as did it my parents til I wrote it on FB and my Mom was like “I forgot!” ha ha ha!! So online I went and ordered a big ol’ bouquet of flowers for them. On the card I had requested it say:

Happy Anniversary Ma & Pa. I’m coming home!!!

So yep. I’ll be flying home in October again for a little Thanksgiving visit. No surprise there since I fly home so frequently now. But still it’s so exciting!

Have a great Friday guys! I’ll be back this weekend on the blog, so stay tuned.

I forgot to mention I was over on Happy Fit Mama’s site yesterday doing a guest post talking about my favorite summer foods. Check it out if you’ve got the chance.

Love that today is already Friday and pay day. Bonus. Since we had a civic holiday in Ontario on Monday, the week just flew on by. Newfoundland did not get the holiday though, but did get Wednesday off due to the annual Regatta.

Just want to say how GLAD I am that summer decided to make a reappearance. This may sound weird, but I love being overheated. I wear a company hoody over top of my regular work clothes almost every day. I just love being cozy and warm, so finally seeing the sun out the past two days is definitely making me happier. Thanks Ma-Nature!

To take advantage of the gorgeous sun that was out yesterday, my co-worker and I went to a Portuguese bakery & deli. A different co-worker asked where we went for lunch, and this was my answer:

“I ate at the best place today! Lesbian for lunch”. Not even close: Lisboa Bakery and Deli
Uh. Totally came out wrong. I forgot the name of the place and that is what I blurted out. HAHAHA. Then that was the running joke of the entire afternoon.

My lunch was just a plain chicken sandwich but the garlic mayo and fresh bun definitely left me wanting more. It was a decent price too.Lunch

I also got a sparkling passion fruit drink with my meal. It tasted kinda weird, but I liked it.lunch2
For dessert we went across the street for Marble Slab Creamery ice cream. I’ve never been there before. It’s neat that they scoop your ice cream and add any toppings you want and it gets mashed together on this ….frozen marble slab. I got Rocky Road. It was way too expensive for what its worth. I’ll stick to Menchies, or this one gelato place near my house.dessert
I’m not the biggest fan of Winter (least fav season) but I do love Fall. I don’t ever want to rush away the seasons, or months. I want to enjoy living in the moment and not look too forward into the future. Know what I’m getting at? Let’s enjoy what we’ve got, right here, right now.

This post is all over the place but I wanted to share the blog-love today with some new (to me) blogs and some good posts I found this week.

I forgot to feature my co-worker L, last week! So here’s her outfit from last week that we took during our lunch break. Doesn’t she look great?!lmcmomootd

Back to yesterdays post regarding the mascara. I had thought about doing this but I didn’t do it until today. Applying smoky lash first, then finishing off to separate and lengthen a bit more with smoky extravagant. Gotta say, it works pretty darn well. My eye lashes are poppin off my face.

Now, the real question. Do I prefer Smoky Lash over Smoky Extravagant?

It’s hard to break up with your first (mascara) love. Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash is just that — my first love in a mascara and I will always faithfully go back to it. But what happens when your first mascara love has a younger, fresh, hotter, new feel? Smoky Extravagant has confused my heart and while it was a completely different brush and had me undecided for the first few days of using it. I think it’s safe to say that my go-to mascara will still remain the Smoky Lash. The clever cone shaped wand of the Smoky Extravagant is great and definitely gets a thumbs up in my books. I’m not ready for it to part from #1 place just yet. Perhaps combining the two mascaras will result in a favorite duo? If  I use two mascaras in an application it’s usually Make Up For Ever, and Buxom’s. Only time will tell.

Onto the outfits of my work week!ootww

What are your plans for the weekend?
I’ll be driving to another city to visit my late Grandmother’s sister and take her out to Swiss Chalet. She loves that place.
