tomorrow night- florida!

hello hello

Here i am
busy week here in windsor. jon has finishes his exams! yay! his last one was on wednesday. he left to montreal yesterday by train.
I forgot to mention that jon and i exchanged our chanukah gifts, I got him this chair massager, but I dont think we like it, so Ill return it. He got me tickets to see the circus here at the casino in january, im so excited! he put the tickets in a old box to trick me!


We went out to celebrate thursday night. We went to Red Lobster, neither of us had been there, well maybe i was there in florida once, but many ages ago! it was very nice, perhaps our new favorite restaurant. the caesar salad was very good! I will post the pictures after. Then we had a coupon for a movie, so we went to see Four Christmases, we went in with low expectations, but it turned out to be great, we laughed a lot!


Friday I had the day off, and there was a mini storm here, well they call it a storm, really it was just a regular snow fall in montreal terms. So we needed to buy a shovel, we went to canadian tire, and got the last one!

We always like to monitor the beer store on sunday mornings, when it opend at noon. there are always tons of cars there! weird.

I am working monday, tuesday, and half day wednesday, and then taking a shuttle to detroit airport, and landing at 955pm, my mom and dad will be waiting!

hello

Hello there
this is a page I made today, about my beloved Clarabelle, who is no longer with me.
Last night while Jon was studying, I went to a movie by myself, I have never done that before. But I enjoyed it. I went to see Role Models, a stupid funny comedy, well it turns out, it was hilarious! I loved it, kept laughing out loud. Yesterday I cleaned chickens, and today I did 3 loads of laundry. I am turning into quite the housewife. Jon has only 2 more exams, and hes done on Wednesday. Here is a cookie card I had made for him at mrs. fields. (does anyone know why I chose pink and green?)

I just made an excellent supper, and we even ate at the kitchen table! We had a very good salad, one of my favorites. (couldnt have it up to this point because I never remembered to buy sesame oil), then we had chicken with italian dressing and corn flake crumbs, and then green beans almondine. Friday night I went to my staff christmas party, it was at a restaurant/hall. I suppose there are no vegetarians in Windsor, because it was buffet and everything had meat or meat sauce. Quite interesting. Tomorrow at work is my residents christmas party, santa will be visiting. I have now helped out at 4 other exact same parties, so hopefully I can pull it off. Florida in ten days!

day off

ventured out on my own today across the border.
I have been having scrapbook withdrawal, and found out yesterday that in Michigan there is an Archivers store, which is a chain of scrapbooking stores. I believe its the only one of its kind, its not like michaels, its just scrapbooking. So I checked it out today, and it was beautiful. They had many of the new products, although I have most of it from when I went home in October. but I will look forward to going back after the new products are released.
So then i went to the mall to go to Macys, bought nothing. Then to TJ Maxx, Michaels, and marshalls, nothing! i guess thats ok since the exchange is so bad now. And let me say, thank god for my GPS, the thing is amazing! I would still be in Detroit without it, they are doing so much construction around the border area, its impossible to navigate.
Good news is, I did not have to pay duty. In fact, not once at this border have we had to.
Back to work tomorrow.

Decided to change the background to this, because im going to florida in 2 weeks!

3 weeks

Im off to florida in 3 weeks, cant wait! That also means 3 weeks until Christmas, that came pretty fast, it was just halloween!
Yesterday at work, I was in charge of a card night, and I had to break up a fight between 4 residents! They were yelling at each other that one was too slow, one lost the count, one didn't know who the dealer was.... oh my. I told them it to calm down, its just a game!

Here it is!

P.S. Oh wow! My blog buddy Ash just mentioned me on this blog recognition think going around. How cool! I shall mention that I enjoy reading hers too because she takes very nice photos! A new blog that I now check EVERY day, is cake wrecks.

My very own Chanukah Tree! I love it! I was so excited to find it on sale at Zellers, and find blue and silver decorations. If you look closely you will see some chanukah garland on it. The one ornament on it is a cruise ship, that we bought last year on our cruise. Normally it is on display with our other cruise ship.
These are all our Chanukah presents that my mom sent me! Before I knew I would actually see her in Florida on Chanukah.
Here is our new friend, that I won in a gift exchange last week at my work Christmas party. As you can see, he already made friends with Mimi and Frog. We named him Rollo. When you touch his hand he sings and dances, very cute.
And finally, this is my Christmas tree at work, I decorated it all by myself. Its in my area, so it was my job. Its not as nice as the others, because I used whatever I could find that was left over.
Yesterday Jon came to see my work because we were having a bazaar.
Here is a picture from noemis wedding in july.

Im going to Florida!

So the great news is that yesterday I got my work schedule for the holidays, and after arranging a few shifts I was able to get 5 days off! So im off to Florida on Christmas eve. cant wait. i dont know what I would have done if I had to stay alone in Windsor for the holidays. Jon will be going home.

Last thursday was jons birthday, I made him sushi, it was my first time, but came out quite good.Here it is all cut, my favorite is cream cheese and avocado.


Jon opening his gifts, the best was the beatles monopoly, that he didnt know existed! And I made a donation in honor of him to the michael j fox foundation.
For his birthday cake, he wanted a bluberry pie, also a first for me, and it was fabulous! Definately a keeper.
