Oh bloggy blog blog how i've missed you. My babies aren't giving me as much me time anymore so you have gone to the way side.
But I still love you.

This is a busy week. But a good week.

S has been reading her bible while sitting on the toilet more lately. She has been demanding it almost angrily. She loves to read about Noma, and his auk. (Noah and ark) I pointed out to her that Jesus has hair on his face like grandpa. Now whenever she sees that picture she calls Jesus Grandpa. At least now she is saying grandpa. Except now shes not saying grandma....lol.

Monday Sarah and Nessa, my dear college friends came to visit. Sarah brought her beautiful happy baby, Nessa brought beautiful donuts. I ate 2 1/2 of them. My body ached unbelievably afterwards. It was so nice to hang out with them. Its great to have friends that you can see once a year ( or once every four years lol) and feel like no time has passed. Except for the children thing. We had a good time reminiscing and hanging out with the girls.

I made a gigantic stew, thinking Nessa was staying and not that Nessa eats alot, but for some reason I felt the need to be ridiculously prepared. We barely made a dent in it. Though it was mostly vegetables. The meat wasnt thawed and i didnt have time to let it thaw, so it was very large lumps of stewing beef. Heh. I just dumped them in. So its full of vegetables and not much else. Enough leftovers to feed an army.

Yesterday, my dear Emily came to visit. I woke up at the crack of dawn so i could take Josh to school and pick her up from the train station. ON the way to picking her up, S started getting very ornery so I just kept saying " we're going to get auntie Emily" in a happy sing song voice and S kept saying " em uh yee" over and over again.
She had a doll named Emily when she was younger. It was attached to the arm of her car seat so she had something to look at in the car.
She frequently beat it. Viciously.
But she likes the real Emily. Thankfully she doesn't try to beat her. Emily also doesn't make crinkle noises though. So that makes sense.

We went to the mall and S ran around. She isnt so interested in pushing the stroller anymore so that's become awfully problematic.  We also went to superstore.
Food shopping with Emily is always interesting. She finds things that you have never seen before and they are always ridiculously cheap.
Quote of the day " OH! whats this!? They don't have this where I come from!"
hah.
Although I recall saying a similar thing the first time I went to a grocery store in Brampton with my cousin Tine and saw strange and wonderful fruits. She thought I was crazy. I now understand why.
We went home and I made a lasagna ( 5 pts per slice....large slice...boo ya!!!) and Emily cleaned my kitchen floor.
And made glutino boxed cookies which taste more like cake but are really good. Ugh.

Josh and I are now both down 16 pounds each. I somehow managed to lose 8 pounds in two weeks. I blame it on the stomach bug ( even though there was no puking). Josh can't wear his wedding ring anymore cuz it just falls off. Sickening no? So im not a pound less than pre S pregnancy, but naturally my body is completely not the same. Yay.

Dad is visiting. Currently he is watching judge Judy with Josh. I feel like my childhood is back. *shudder* My dad used to watch way way way too much judge Judy. It enraged my mom and I. We can't stand her. Now, Im just like "meh" Josh and dad are philosophising now about idiots and money.

On a sad note, one of my tastyfresh friends passed away yesterday.
(tastyfresh being an online dance music community i used to practically live on back in my early 20s...not really on there anymore because of the children but i still talk to a lot of my old friends from time to time)
I didnt know Kevin well but what I did know about him was that he was a good guy and a lot of people are going to really miss him. Unfortunately he was young, and those of us who have passed on were all young. The only comfort is that we do not mourn like those that do not have hope. We will all be together again
<3

and now i should go socialize with the men now that judge judy is gone.
