Bread Crumbs In The Butter

Nothin' Doing

Today is the first Sunday since early May that we have nothing to do.  Can you believe that?  It's cold and rainy.  A perfect day to stay in our pajamas and do nothing all day long.  I'm catching up on laundry, customer emails  and coffee drinking.

My soccer team played in one last tournament yesterday, the Kanata OldTimers Tournament.  Did we kick ass? Yes. We did.  We went undefeated in Ladies Division 1, beating the previous years' winners in the semi to move on to the final and dominate.  Five games in 8 hours. I'm also popping Advil with the coffee.

And now for some bullets:

• I just purchased John's birthday gift (October 12).  We're gonna go see Three Days Grace/Theory Of A Deadman on November 13. Excited?  Hell yeah!
• There are so many concerts I am dying to see in the next few months.  Death Cab For Cutie, Goo Goo Dolls, Holly Cole's Christmas Show. John refuses to go see Sloan with me, so if anyone wants to volunteer, lemme know.  We're also trying to rack up Chez 106 Platinum points to line up tickets to see Bob Dylan and The Foo Fighters.
• Thanksgiving is next weekend, people. Next weekend!  When did that sneak up on us.  I'm desperate for a turkey dinner.   We're having turkey and potatoes from a farm up the road. Beans we grew here. Apples pie from the apples on our trees.  Pumpkin pie from the pumpkins the kids grew.   If you had told me ten years ago we could prepare a feast solely from what we grew here, I'd have beaten you with my Starbucks cup.
• This morning I slept in until 10am.  TEN O'CLOCK in the morning.  I'm a little sleep drunk now.  I had too much.  My body doesn't know what to do with it.

So far my Sunday kicks ass!

Sunday Best

Some bullets on Sunday to let you know what I've been into lately:

• I just finished reading The Bachelorette Party.  I got it Sunday, started it that night and finished it Tuesday night.  I laughed out loud at 2am.  It is that funny. She writes like I talk. It's not serious lit or extremely thought provoking (unless you count dreaming about 18 year old male models), but I could not put it down.  Do you have a fluffy book like that? One that you could read over and over?
• Kristyn and John have been checking out Where's Willy (there is a Where's George for the US too).  She is going to tell her teacher about it and set up a class project or something.
• Ottawa Start has a kick ass Ottawa Blog Guide.  Check it out. Add yours.
• A few of blogs I started clicking on obsessively in the last week or so are Mama Tulip (her writing makes me want to throw away my computer), Reluctant Housewife (her blog name alone kicks ass) and Izzy Mom. Izzy's most recent post about blurting out observations reminds me of a friend who constantly points out things about me that aren't secrets, but aren't necessarily things I wanted broadcasted either.
