My bed makes my back hurt

by

I think my husband and I are going to be shopping for a new bed sometime in the near future.

We just helped our neighbors get a new mattress into their house and that only served to remind me that I haven’t had a good nights sleep in our bed for a long time. Each morning I wake up with a sore back.

I think it’s time we got a new mattress as well.

I’d actually love to take a look at a memory foam mattress. I’ve slept in a bed with a memory foam mattress once or twice and I found it very comfortable.

We can’t afford a new mattress right now, but perhaps in the new year, when everything is on sale – maybe then we’ll be able to get a new mattress and I’ll be able to have a comfortable good sleep.

A great girls only weekend

by



I had my girls day and night out last weekend. We had so much fun!


We started out by getting facials at a downtown spa. Man that was nice! Then we went out shopping in the fashion district.

I wasn’t planning on buying anything, but I came home with three bags! I bought a nice blouse, a dress and some lingerie. Oh la la!

Once we’d spent all we could spend shopping we went to one of my favorite french restaurants. Delicious!

By the time we’d finished dinner it was getting late and I think we were all tipsy. We thought about hitting a dance club but in the end we couldn’t decide where to go and nixed the idea.

All in all it was a really great time!

Do you ever go out just with your girlfriends? When’s the last time you did it?

How do you stay active when it’s really hot outside?

by

I have to find a way to get more active! As I was just saying on one of my other blogs … it’s been very hot here in Toronto lately and as a result I’ve been trapped indoors where it’s cool for the last couple of weeks.

I’m feeling the lack of activity! If the heat doesn’t let up soon I think I might start getting out of shape (not that I’m in the best shape anyway, mind you) and gaining weight. I might have to look into getting some Lipovox! Just kidding.

I think what I’m going to do is try to get outside in the early morning or in the late evening when it should be a little cooler outside. I can at least take a long walk or a bike ride in order to increase my activity level and not feel so house bound.

How do you stay in shape when it’s too hot for outdoor activities?

Waiting for a house guest

by

Don’t you hate waiting for a house guest when you don’t know when they are going to arrive or even if they are coming at all?

That’s what I’m doing right now. Late last night we got a call from my husbands mother asking if our nephew could stay over this evening. He’s been doing extra work on a TV series being filmed here in Toronto and sometimes the work runs until late in the evening and then he has an early call the next morning. Since he lives out of town it makes sense for him to stay in the city if he can.

So .. we said yes … but it’s 8:30 pm and we haven’t heard from him yet, so I don’t know if he’s coming or not. Maybe his casting call for tomorrow morning has been canceled so for all I know he might be on his way home right now.

I hope he shows up. We cooked extra food for him. Plus, the last time he was here he told us about a friend of his that has really bad acne, so I spent some time looking for the best acne treatment and printed out some info for him to take to his friend. If he ever arrives I can give him the information.

I guess I’ll have to wait and see if we have a house guest tonight or not. Hopefully he at least gives us a call.

Pulling out my hair!

by

Ah! I think I’m about to start pulling my hair out!

I was talking about one of my friends on my other blog. She’s dieting and she’s been doing pretty well but she keeps asking me questions wanting all kinds of quick weight loss tips. I’ve helped her out, but it’s getting to be too much.

I’m a nurse so I guess she considers me a good source for health information. I think I am … certainly if I don’t know something I’ll looking it up or ask others for info and then pass it on.

I guess I’m just a little frustrated because I’ve helped as much as I can. She’s frustrated because he weight loss has slowed and she wants to lose at least another 10 lb. I keep giving her advise (that she keeps asking for) but she does the opposite. Grrr.

Sigh ..
