Home Renos and a Delicious NZ Lamb Burger!

Time: 7:53pm
Mood: Glad it's Friday!
Song of the moment: Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me

So the home renos over the long weekend went well, but boy was painting a pain in the arse! I finally understand why no one offered to help us with painting that weekend. I did get a pity-offer from my sister, and I think it was because I was complaining about how no one offered to help. LoL :D But after all the hard work it turned out really good! I'm in love with chair rails now after doing our living room! Photos to come (I did take photos but it was when the room was still a mess. Now that we have moved the furniture back to it's original position I will take another photo). We also got the California blinds we had ordered mid-August and they are looking good too! Our next project - kitchen backsplash! I brought back some tile samples today - really loving the tumbled marble look! LoL we're really trying to take advantage of the home reno tax credit the Canadian gov't is offering. Why not right?

So earlier this month I was invited out for dinner with two of my coworkers. Apparently they go out every year to celebrate each other's birthdays, and they always pick a restaurant listed in the top 10 new Toronto restaurants. After being invited for some strange reason I felt like I had entered into this exclusive club - I was IN!! It felt really nice to be included though. On Tuesday we went to this French restaurant called Loire on Harbord St. While I was there I had what I consider the best New Zealand lamb burger I've ever had in my entire life. I am still thinking about how delicious it was! It just melted in my mouth. I suppose anything that contains brie cheese is a good thing! Must definitely go back to have that delicious burger!

Boy am I glad it's Friday! This has been... for a lack of a better word.. a strange one. It felt off and apparently I'm not the only one that felt this way. I felt like I was doing a puzzle and I kept trying to fit the wrong pieces together. Nothing sat right this week! And frustrations hit a high for me. I need to relax! On a good note, I had put together a report that, according to the CEO of the company I work for, was a f**king good report :D Glad I was able to do something right this week!!

Blogging iPod

So I've installed this blogging app on my iPod touch and I figured since I'm having trouble sleeping I might as well try it out!

The long weekend is coming up and I must say I am getting pretty excited! I am finally taking the big leap and going to finally start painting the house! Only 2 rooms though (technically it's 3 but the kitchen and family room are essentially one room). I chose the colours this weekend after spending $40 on paint sample pots. Really glad I did it though as it really gave me a good idea what colours looked good. Let's just say if I didn't buy painter pots I would have been stuck with a wall that was more blue than gray, and a wall too pale in contrast with my creme couches!

I've never painted before - maybe that's why I am excited about it! Everyone is telling me I'm going to get sick of it really fast. Let's hope not! I've got lots of painting to do!
