Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
I wonder if the problem I’m having with my eyes is really a migraine? All day I had a mild headache, but it’s quickly becoming a major head banging migraine.
I think I’m just going to lie down and watch some of the returning television shows tonight like ER, 30 Rock and others. Hopefully my head will stop pounding soon.
Speaking of TV. Did you watch Survivor? The fake idol came out in the end and it was hilarious!
Such a dreamy picture of some of the white tulips that I grow in my garden …. It’s the perfect time for a gardener to be dreaming of tulips and other spring flowers too. The weather is finally beginning to warm up and all the plants in my garden are beginning to come out of their dormant state.
I was just saying on my gardening blog that it’s such a beautiful day here in Toronto that I expect to go outside this afternoon and tidy up my garden. Hopefully I don’t become obsessed and stay out there for hours!
We’d also like to take our dog out for a good walk today.
Last weekend we went to Cherry Beach twice (although Sunday was super cold and windy, especially at the beach, so we ended up going to The Brickworks for our walk). It was beautiful! Yesterday we ended up going to The Beach and walking on the boardwalk. So today … if I can pry myself away from the computer and then from the garden, we’d like to go to Cherry beach again.
I just love living in Toronto. The weathers fairly nice most of the year (not this past winter!) and there are so many things to do. I love it. Plus now that we have a dog we have more incentive to get out and enjoy what this great city has to offer.
What have you been doing on this beautiful spring weekend? Working in the garden or doing something outside as you enjoy the great weather?

Just imagine if there really was a lot full of used rainbows. LOL Wouldn’t that be cool!
This week I’ve been spending my days trying to update my sites. Yes I’m still working on getting a few sites upgraded to WP 2.33 and then once that’s done I guess I’ll do it all over again for WP 2.5! Some of my sites have really old themes so I’m replacing the theme and widgetizing those sites. It’s slow and tedious work. Sometimes I think I’d rather be looking for Branson real estate or a great holiday deal than staring at my computer and tinkering with code!
Oh and I still have the flu or some kind of bug or maybe the flu that I had earlier this week bothered my Crohns … something’s still going on. I just feel yucky and feverish. Hopefully I’ll be back to as normal as I get soon!
Wordless Wednesday
Tell me I’m wrong and that’s not a double decker bus squished under that bridge? I certainly hope that there weren’t any passengers in the upper level when the bus crashed! Can you imagine the kind of injuries!
I’d say that the driver had better start sending out cover letters as I’m sure he or she is out of a job! I wouldn’t want that accident on my record!
I hope that everyone had a great April Fools day. Did you play any good pranks on anyone? What did you do?
Last night I was lying on the couch watching TV and my Lab puppy, Midnight, became very interested in me. My husband was lying on the loveseat which is at a right angle to the couch and our puppy was sitting on the floor between the couch and loveseat.
She kept looking at me and lifting her paw up onto the couch beside my head. Now, normally when she wants on the couch she goes to the other end and lies down at my feet. This time she wanted to be right near my head.
I invited her up and pretty much immediately regretted it! She started licking my right ear. Slurp, slurp, slurp nibble. I don’t know how she does it but she manages to get her tongue right in there! I’m thankful that she’s getting bigger. When she was smaller her little tongue really got inside the ear and created painful suction!
After she was done with my right ear she nibbled my hair, licked my cheek and then moved on to my left ear. It didn’t matter which way I turned. She was bent on licking me!
The puppy attack only took a minute or two, but she was so focused on me that I had to get off the couch to get away from her.
I was covered in slobber. I had to get a tissue to dry out my ears! Bleah!
