Holiday is almost over..

Jul 15, 2012

Well, today is the last day of my 9 day holiday in Ottawa. We leave to go to Sudbury tomorrow for my orientation class on Tuesday then back to Timmins after class.  It's been quite a nice holiday. We got here on Saturday, the 7th of July. Here is what we did:
Sunday: Went to Joe(my hubby)'s brothers house in Wakefield and had smoked ribs and potatoes. Spent the day chatting and trying to plan a trip to Holland in 5 years to visit their family and maybe an all inclusive next year depending on when I get surgery.
Monday: Joe and I's first wedding anniversary. We went shopping at Ikea, Bayshore, Rideau Centre and toured the market before we made our way to The Keg and had a great dinner. Steak medium rare with some fries. Yummy!
Tuesday: Went shopping at Costco and then had a relaxing day at the mother-in-laws.
Wednesday: Went hockey pad shopping for my hubby and bought some great ones. We then went to have dinner at the Mill St. Brew-pub. I had a cheeseburger and fries, it was good :)
Thursday: Went for dinner at Joe's aunts house, had a burger again with some salad. Afterwards we went to the Cube Gallery on Wellington and watched a presentation about astronomy- one of my greatest passions. Afterwards, we went to the Parliament and watched the Mosaika presentation. It was breathtaking and really makes you feel patriotic and love the great country of Canada. Once that was finished, we returned to the Cube Gallery to look through telescopes that they had set up. They put out all the lights on Julian ave. I saw Saturn's rings which was probably the most amazing thing I've EVER seen. I was speechless. I then saw a few nebulas which seem less impressive after seeing Saturn.
Friday: It was my birthday so we went to Red Lobster for lunch then came home and I had salmon for dinner. It was great. I went to bed very early.
Saturday: Spent the day at my aunts house by her pool. Got a nice tan :). We had dinner there and we had yummy ribs. I did her hair after dinner (I am a hairdresser) then we came home and relaxed all night.
Sunday: Did absolutely nothing today. Didn't even get dressed. It was a pj relax day. 

During the week, we had eaten more than I usually eat at home yet I lost 4 lbs. I don't understand it but I wont complain at all!  This week has given me time to reflect on my life. I have decided I will leave my minimum wage job and get back into hairdressing in a salon. This hairdressing job will be good for when I'm in school for the next 3 years. It'll make me alot of money.  It was a great week and I'm very glad that we had decided to take this holiday. 

Here is a picture of my hubby and our Chow Chow. It's not the best picture of her but it sure does show how happy he is with his "little" girl:
