Friday's Random Thoughts
Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week and have a wonderful weekend planned! It is rainy rainy rainy here so I think we will be staying in, watching lots of Housewives and putting around the house.
- My laser eye surgery is done! Thank you to everyone who sent me good luck emails, tweets, left encouraging comments and thought about me while I was in the city having it done. I appreciate every single one of you and always feel so warm inside when I see how many people in the blogishpere are right there for each other when we need a little hand holding. I will do a post on it next week for everyone who is wondering exactly how it is done - I will say it was only mildly uncomfortable, over quickly and I could see right away. On a pain scale of 1-10 with childbirth being a 12...I would put this at a 1. I took the valium...wow, that is a fun little drug!
- Little Prince never stops coming up with funny things to say! These days when he takes his first bite of any meal he says, 'Mmm that's delicious' or 'Mmm that's wonderful' and whenever anything spills or falls down he says, 'Oh my goodness'. Cheeky thing.
- It's now 2 weeks until my 40th birthday. People have started asking me if I am having a big party - I suggest they start planning it! Meaning...if they want me to have a party they better plan it themselves. I have lots of people I would invite but since they have never invited me to anything I decided to spend the money on myself this year.
- Shamrock Shakes are back!! This is huge news for Canada (considering we have so little else to worry about) as we havn't had them here for years! The last time I had one I must've been a child! I've had two already...I think I will let that be it until my birthday as there's no sense in expanding the waistline at this point in the game.
- In a if-you-build-it-they-will-come sort of way I had all of the spring and summer clothes in my closet that didnt fit right tailored and ready for warmer weather! I feel awesome about it as I have had a big stack of pants for years that I havnt been able to wear. A couple of darts in each one and now I have expanded my summer wardrobe! Yipee! Peter Walsh would be very proud! Why do they make pants with tiny, skinny legs and huge waists?
- The basement is still waiting for the plumber but we do now have the shower base and glass which is very very exciting! I need to pick out tile even tho that part is quite a ways away. The Suburban Prince still gives me a hard time about handing him a picture of what I wanted with explicit instructions to 'Make it happen'.
- I have noticed a number of the songs from Wonderpets sound a lot like the music from Sweeney Todd. Having listened to both ad naseum I can pick up on the subtlties and nuances and have decided the composer of Wonderpets is a Sondheim fan. When your children are 3 you will know who the Wonderpets are and you will hear it so much you will find yourself in the middle of the day humming a tune and realise it's a song about a mama kangaroo and her little joey too.
Have a fabulous day!

It's Laser Day!
Today is the big day! In a few hours the Suburban Prince and I will be heading into the city for lunch, a little bit of shopping and then my laser eye surgery!
I hear I will be offered a valium and have no idea if I should take it or not. I have never had one and have no idea if it will knock me out, give me a fit of the giggles, give me the munchies, make me see all the beautiful colours....oh wait, I think that's pot. If anyone can tell me what a valium is like I would love to know what to expect!
Above is the view from the optometrist's office...the CN Tower and Varsity Stadium...the Suburban Prince and I had our first date in the hotel bar in the big building on the right hand side. Turn left and go down this one way street and you will find yourself in the most swankified shopping area of Toronto (Yorkville) and I'm not feeling good about spending the day there with my glasses on, without makeup! But so happy to know I will be coming home to a new life, without contacts and glasses!
I should be back online tomorrow night!
Have a fabulous day!

Wednesday's Random Thoughts
Happy Wednesday! I am a bit early with my random thoughts but I have had so many lately I didnt want to forget them!
- In one week I will be heading back to Toronto for my laser eye surgery! Yay! I have been told I will be there for about 2 hours, may be in a little bit of pain but back to normal the next day. I am looking forward to getting rid of contacts and glasses and being able to see! Thanks to everyone for all of your enthusiatic comments! I will do a recap post to let everyone know what it was like and to dispell your fears!
- The Bachelor. Oh.My.Goodness. I read RealitySteve last night and...well...who do you think he picks?
- Yesterday someone told me, in a matter-of-fact way, their brother has AIDS and I have to admit, I didnt know how to respond. I know what my intellectual response is but never in my life have I known someone that close to the disease. I feel like a bit of a heel for not responding at all.
- The Little Prince is still as cheeky as ever. He still says 'Bye Sweetheart' to me when he leaves the house but he has added 'That's a great idea' whenever I suggest something to him. I am glad you approve little one.
- I downloaded Little Bee (the book) for my e-reader a couple of months ago and finally started reading it the other night. I was enthralled from the first line and I would love to tell you more but I got 12 pages in and suddenly the pages were blank! Not impressed. If the rest of the book is anything like the first 12 pages I think it's worth the read. You know, if I could actually read it!
- The Little Prince starts toddler soccer this week! I am officially a soccer mom! I have been practicing cutting oranges into wedges.
- I was driving with a friend and she suddenly opened the window and sneezed out of it and rolled it back up. It's -1. In Canada. Interesting. Is it still called 'rolling up the window' if I have power windows?
- After watching Kim Catrall's episode of Who Do You Think You Are I have the geneology bug! So far I have mapped out 6 generations up one line and am going to start working on another line today. It's helpful that Scottish tradition is to give children the mother's maiden name (or another family name) as one of their middle names. Each time I find a girl born with Stewart or Watson or Grant as a middle name it's another clue! In case you are wondering, yes, my maiden name is one of the Little Prince's middle names.
- I just told the Suburban Prince there is a sale on chicken breasts at one store and a sale on bras at another store so I am going to pop out for both. He said..."I sense a theme here" and snickered. Oh hardeeeeharhar big man!
Have a fabulous day!
