It went a little something like this:

Brendan: Hey, today I had the opportunity to purchase tickets to an event at the Olympics.

Me: But you didn't buy the tickets?!?!

Brendan: No, I didn't know if you would want to go. Also, there isn't anywhere to stay.

Me: Oh my gosh! We seriously live 2 hours from Canada! We could have easily come home to sleep!

Brendan: Good point.

Needless to say, my husband is crazy! I think we missed out on a once in a lifetime experience! Oh well, I think we will still drive up to Vancouver to take in all of the festivities!

{Heard Lately}

This morning hubby and I had a funny chat:

Me: I've been dreaming of having another snow storm like we did last year.

Hubby: Darn Global Climate Change. Oh, by the way, why do you want it to snow?

Me: This year I'm in school, and school would be cancelled if there was enough snow. And then I could sit home and drink hot chocolate while reading home decor magazines.

Hubby: You would probably be checking blogs all day too, right?

Me: Haha! You know me so well!

Hubby: It's really funny that you think of these things!

Me: Really? I can't stop thinking about how mad I was last year that I had to go to work even though there was a foot of snow on the ground. This year it would be totally awesome to have it snow!

We both started laughing! Needless to say, I am constantly dreaming up crazy things!

I completely forgot about this story...

Earlier this week I was stopped at a stoplight (after dark) and decided to pull my phone out to check my email. All of a sudden I hear continuous honking. I was completely startled and started to look around. Next to me I noticed an older Ford pickup truck with two dirty, white-trash worker type men, waving their hands at me. Apparently they were pissed off that I was on my phone (since it's against the law and all) and were trying to signal me to put it down. The weird part about this is that I have tinted windows, so were they closely watching my every move? Second of all why the heck do they care if I was on my phone checking my email? Third of all I wanted to give them the middle finger, but then I talked myself out of it because I wasn't going to drop to their level! My heart was sure pumping after that one!

{It's Friday!}

A little list on a rainy Friday:

*Hubby got home safely last night and was happy to report that there were no signs of a little mouse in the garage!

*I'm in the editing phase of a paper that is due by midnight tonight, woo-hoo almost done!

*I have a little DIY project up my sleeve to hid unsightly computer cords in Hubby's home office!

*I've made my list for next week's menu and I'm heading to Trader Joes shortly! (I actually enjoy menu planning-who would have thought?!)

*Tomorrow we're going to a movie at a fabulous place that serves dinner too. It's a new-ish establishment and it sounds amazing!

*Monday I don't have school and I get to watch my amazing nephew for a little while!

Ta-Ta for now!

***Edited to add: I fixed my grammatical error! Maybe I should edit my blog posts and my papers for school! :)

****Edited to add again: My kind mother pointed out that I made another grammatical error...thanks mom...

{Raccoons, Squirrels and a Mouse}

I'm going nuts! I need Brendan to reserve a padded room at the crazy bin! The little critters that call our .25 acres of suburbia home, are driving me crazy! We have a family of raccoons that likes to squeal in the dark hours of the night and leave their poop behind! They are gross! Huge creatures with glow-in-the-dark eyes! Also, we have squirrels that frolic around our yard as though it's their own little jungle-gym! I was looking out the window and a squirrel popped out of no where and made me jump through the ceiling just now! Then, there was the mouse that I spotted in the garage last week! I thought I was going to faint! I absolutely hate rodents! They completely freak me out even though they are tiny! So since that little incident I have not ventured out to the garage! I think it was Brendan's idea to plant the mouse, so I would leave his man-zone alone! Haha I'm funny, but I think it actually freaked him out too! So the next day we went out and bought poison! I don't know if we killed anything, because A: I don't go out there and B: Brendan was out of town for work. So tonight when his cute little buns walk through the door, I will give him a kiss after he checks the poison and the garage! I hope it makes sense why I'm going crazy! There are just too many little critters running around!

P.S. Our neighbors have a peanut feeder on their deck! I think all of these lovely animals are attracted to the food over there!
