Busy Busy Busy
Busy day at work today and actually for the past couple of days. This is a good thing, although it has certainly distracted from my blogging, reading and other things I generally do to fill the void. Anyways, nothing to report... honestly, I'm so tired I could pass out right now.

Best Book and Boyfriend Ever
Let me begin by saying HAPPY FRIDAY! So glad the week is over. I'm so tired of sitting around doing nothing all day.
Now, I just bought Lonely Planet's THE TRAVEL BOOK and might I say it is literally the BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD. Definitely going on the coffee table for regular browsing convenience. It features all 192 countries (so classified by the UN) along with 38 more not-classified-as-countries countries (ie. crown colonies and foreign dependencies of some of the above states 192 countries. Anyways, I would recommend that anybody who has an interest in traveling the world buy this book...right now. It is filled with wonderful goodies including, what to eat while there, what to drink, where to go (a few interesting highlights for each) and some amazingly stunning photographs to boot! So glad I bought this. Amazon.ca is seriously my best friend.
Now on to my super wonderful boyfriend. This morning I woke up and there was a note on the table. It was a piece of paper folded in half that said "To Johanna" followed by some unreadable and ridiculous mathematical equations which were in turn scribbled out. I was like "hmmmmm...this is odd. I know Josh likes math but...it really hurts my brain. But then I opened up the note and inside it said "I guess what I'm trying to say is I love you and I will see you at lunch today." HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! See? Best boyfriend ever. And wouldn't you know? He brought me a subway sandwich and a bottle of diet coke for lunch! :D
Anyways...the weekend is here! Yay!
See ya.

Another wonderful weekend...
Wow, it seems as though I am slacking off big time on the blogging. How awful.
Well, this weekend was wonderful. I spent Saturday at home, then spent a few hours in the afternoon with Josh then went out with my friend Saima for a bit of a catch-up. It had been ages since we'd seen each other.
Yesterday we cleaned our bedroom (oh my lord!) and did about twelve loads of laundry. Not as much fun as Saturday. But we did manage to take a few hours for ourselves. We went to the beach with the intention of reading and ended up taking a much needed nap. Then it was off to Tanya's (my sister) to say hi and have a quick visit with my niece and nephew. They picked me a bunch of crab apples. I guess that means I'll be making pie in the very near future!
Tonight I'm having a kitty play-date with my friend and her cat who are moving in with us in August. We want to let the cats get acquainted before we shove them together!
Oh, on Saturday Josh and I went to the mall so he could buy one of those laptop cooling fans that you can put on your lap or on a desktop. It stops your computer from overheating and can even extend the life of your computer! A very good investment for only $39.oo, I'd say. Well, we carried on down the hall in the mall and next thing we knew we were in Mappin's trying on rings. Spoiler alert, if just trying on Engagement rings is any indication, then I am most DEFINITELY going to cry when Josh proposes.
Anyways, Happy Monday!

Wonderful Weekend!
Josh and I had a lovely weekend. Saturday we bought frames for our gallery wall above the couch (Josh just has to create two more sketches and it will be complete!) It looks so great. (Damn, I really have to get a new camera chord...and stop writing in brackets.) Then we went to Rebuilt Resources and bought another golf club (we only have one...also purchased at Rebuilt) and I got myself a cute pink teapot and a cup and saucer to make a DIY platter like this. I tested it out yesterday (with ceramic glue) and it looks so awesome. I'm going to have to make squares or something to serve on it.
Then we headed off to the driving range. Josh has been wanting to go there for a while now. We aren't golfers or anything, it was just a fun way to spend the afternoon!
Sunday we woke early and went to Church. Weird, right? Catholic church, at that. The reason for this was Josh's parents' vow renewal. They have been together for 25 year! How great is that?! The church pew made my back ache for the rest of the day, but it was worth it for such a lovely occasion. I spent the afternoon at home reorganizing the living/dining room, which was a terrible idea given the state of my back, but it's really beginning to come together.
Well, back to work I suppose.
Happy Monday!
