Little Lola

It has been decided that Lola's birthday will take place this Christmas eve

December 24th.

She will turn 4years old.

Even though we are not sure just how old she is.

But her teeth are pretty white, so she is apx 3 years old.

Last year was our first year with her but we were in Edmonton so we were unable to celebrate Christmas with her and couldn't figure out the best date for her birthday.

We also don't know when her REAL birthday is so we thought that because she is a rescued dog that her life has become somewhat of a miracle in the making, so christmas eve being the "happiest" time of the year will suit the little snuggler just fine.

Congrats brandt!

Congrats Brandt on your new job!

Too bad we all couldn't get together here in Toronto when you were down for your short trip, but we will be in Ottawa next week -for a small visit!

I hope Leroy is ready to see his beloved playmate Lola!

We should all go to Bark & Fitz and grab a big stiff starbucks coffee

-would that be yuppie enough for you gov't man?

I always wondered who actually reads the pblog, besides Brent bugging me for the Crannie wedding pics --yes they will be posted tomorrow...they need some "re-touching"

Readers, please feel free to post comments of what you are "waiting" to hear about.

I'm not that psychic!

a night in the hammer

Since we now live in Mississauga (shudder) its been a long time since I've had to drive only a small 1/4 of my total daily drive back to Hamilton. My aunt and uncle were in Hamilton for a wedding so I went to meet them for dinner. It was nice to drive again, its been so long, but man I dont miss it. Well I love driving, but not every single day for over 80kms. Urgh all that driving for what? work? thats just crazy nonsense. No wonder I easily gained 1olbs and am just now destressing and trying to lose that evil 10lbs as we speak. I'm sure glad we moved to be closer to Haggar...urgh enough for now I digress.

I made it to Hamilton in a giant rainstorm and there were 2 accidents, but no biggie I made it there in under an hour. The visitors were late anyway. I guess it runs in the family hahah

We had a great time with Auntie Cathy & Uncle Jim in the wonderful world of the hammer.....!
It was a fun time had by all at the swanky 1970's mafia Sirloin Cellar and then at the fine old WESTOWN pub...! There was a live band and we even ran into the wedding party! crazy.

It was fun to just relax with a nice dinner and plenty of wine! Too bad I drank so much.

Afterwards they were going to Ottawa to see the sights. Then to Montreal to see Cara. And then Halifax...for the heck of it! It is their first time out in eastern Canada....I hope they love it as much as I do. and I hope to see MORE of my relatives one day soon!

Actually my cousin Kim will be here on Thursday for a short visit!

Its going to be great to see her and show her around! She is also visiting her girlfriend as well...lets hope the weather cooperates and we can actually go to niagara falls?!?! brrr...!
