{Where to start..}

Okay, so I wasn’t bored on Thursday like I thought I was going to be. It was a wonderfully peaceful day then and on Friday too. DH and I went out to East Side Marios for supper then I had enough time before the mall closed to grab Breaking Dawn from Zellers for $18. The cashier (a teenaged boy) said “We have this here? I didn’t know we had good books here…” LOL

Friday I got up at 9:30 and went to the mechanics to get our oil changed. I didn’t mind that at all because I had my Breaking Dawn to read. :)  Then I went shopping at WalMart and got the rest of Kristen’s school clothes and school supplies. So I read half of BD on Friday (with no TV on or nuthin’…was SO nice!) And when DH came home from work, we decided to have spaghetti for supper and literally 10 seconds after I put the pasta in the water…the power went out. Ugh. Turns out there was some sort of car/truck accident or something that took down the power line because soon after the power went out, we could hear the sirens wailing. So, we ended up having BBQ’d burgers and a Caesar salad instead. Turned out great! The power was out for just a little over an hour so it wasn’t too bad. That night I started feeling like I had to pee a lot so I left DH a note (he was already in bed when I turned in) saying that he couldn’t leave in the morning until I went to the clinic to find out if I had a bladder infection or not. Turns out I did and the doctor gave me 3 extended release antibiotic pills. I have one left but am still feeling the infection so I might have to go back tomorrow to tell them 3 days wasn’t enough. I hope not though. So I spent the rest of Saturday feeling miserable and tired because I didn’t sleep well the night before. I finished reading Breaking Dawn by about 6:30 then scrapped a page.

Sunday I woke up at about 10:30 then got to cleaning some more…was in the middle of sweeping when DH brought the girls home. About 4 hours earlier than I’d expected, and within 1 minute, everyone was cranky and annoying. So there went my peaceful weekend. At least the girls slept in some this morning until 7:15am.

Layout sharing!

For SSD’s From Our Blog to Yours for August 14th, Angela asks what American accent we have. Since I don’t live in the US I don’t have an accent (;)) but I did the quiz anyway. :)

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: North Central

“North Central” is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw “Fargo” you probably didn’t think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

    Oh GF!!!! I have a southern accent for sure. Loved the layouts and beautiful alphas. I love those.

    hahaha. I took your test and it said my accent is from the WEst, which is basically no accent. Well, I gotta say, when I go up north, I am told I sound so Southern. Where I live in the south, they say, “You aren’t from around here are you?” So there ya go!

    Great templates and layouts!

    This describes me to a tee…. Central midwest.

    You may think you speak “Standard English straight out of the dictionary” but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like “Are you from Wisconsin?” or “Are you from Chicago?” Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

    I’ve got an East Caast, Bougeious with a little Southern. Fairly accurate I think.

    I really like the layouts!

    Glad you had a great few days to yourself Jen! Sucks that Barry brought the kids home early but I am sure they were totally missing their Mama by that point. Just keep in mind that school starts in a few weeks! lol

    Awesome LO’s as always and I am totally off to get that template ;)
