So the last half of the week has been a little hectic. As I said I went away to the cottage to chop wood for the winder (and chop wood I did :) but that was the slow part of the week. Sunday night my parents and we went to pick up some Japanese people form the airport. Its a big convoluted story, but the short version is that my parents have a girl/lady (she is 23 i think, what should I be calling her?) staying with them for a month or so while she looks for work. Reiko (the person from japan) is a dietition who is here on a working holiday.
Anyway, the flight was delayed on sunday so instead of coming in at 6:30 they came in at 9pm >.<
This would have been fine except I had agreed to make little personal pizzas for everyone. So when we got back from the cottage (around 5) I immediately started making the dough. Made the dough, Talia cut up all the veggies and cheese and stuff. and we put it in the fridge for later. Then we found out that the flight had been changed.
When we originally agreed to go pick up people from the airport we had said that we didnt want to be out too late (i.e. home by 11) but with the change that wasnt looking likely, so we were just gonna go home and then maybe meet up on monday (which was a holiday). We had wanted to be dropped off on the way to the airport so that we could get all our stuff from the cottage home as well, but as usual my parents left the house too late and so there wasnt time to drop us off. So we went to the airport picked up Reiko and Mayan (my sisters host mother from when she was in japan) and started chatting. Long story short, we ended up going back to my parents house and having pizza with them. Fun times, nice people. but we didnt get home until after midnight.
One of the side effects of having dinner with my parents and their guests is that we invited Reiko to join Talia and I and one of our friends to a board game cafe on bathurst and bloor (cool place if anyone is around there). We also invited Mayan and Reiko (and my parents) to dinner at our place monday night. So of course this means we have to clean. So I wake up at 7ish and start to clean. Not a huge mess to clean up, just the floors and the bathroom. So after not getting home until after 12 (didnt get to bed until after 1) and then getting up at 7 I went down to the cafe with Talia, Karen, and Reiko and had some fun playing new games in the afternoon.
This is getting to be a long entry so im gonna speed up.
Went for a late late late lunch (5pm) at a thai place. Got groceries for dinner (most places were closed cause of the holiday). Got home, made dinner (just in time for guests) and served dinner. One thing i should mention is that we dont really have seating for a lot of people. In fact we only have 4 chairs for our table... and we had 6 people including us. So the solution, well we served dinner while everyone else ate and then we ate after everyone left.
So that was monday and we were all exhausted. Tuesday there was a possibility of going to dinner with my family but Talia and I were just too tired to move so we ended up eating dinner after work and then curling up to a movie.
Mayan left wednesday afternoon so now its just Reiko staying while she looks for work.
So you may be wondering about wednesday. Well cause we had guests for dinner we didnt have much food in the house (especially since half our food went to feeding family at the cottage. So yesterday we made an epic trip to Michael's (a craft store) for some primo clay. Then we went to home depot looking for some bathroom corner shelves for plants (I'll explain that if we ever get them) and finally to a grocery store where we grabbed some food and went home. Made the food and then since it was about 9:30 curled up for an episode of the pretender and then bed.
So thats been my life for the last couple days. Hopefully things will get back on track with the creativity tonight. I am going to karate tonight so we will see. Depends on how I feel after class.
On a slightly creative note, while we were at Michaels we saw this figure craft book that talia really wants. She hadnt found it before except online and now that she has looked through it she wants it even more.
Book I am probably gonna order it some time this week or next for her.
Also, for those looking for gift ideas for Talia Here is a good place to start.
