Hmmm... Oops...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Looks like I missed my own blogaversary... hmmm... ah well... I'll celebrate it twice as hard next year!.. 

Just popping in this Sunday to quickly say HEY!!. how's your weekend going!?.. we're having beautiful weather this weekend... How's your weather been?.. I had planned to stay in and get some real spring cleaning done... I got up early and headed out for groceries... then home again... threw in some laundry and headed outside to plant our pepper plants... and my herb pot... not the herb pot... a plant pot full of different herbs... legal herbs... haha... 

I snapped the below shot after I'd planted the strawberry plants... the lady bug was chillin in the grass so I gave her a lift up onto the flower... I couldn't resist for a sweet photo... :)


I've got some awesome tunes playin... thanks 8tracks!.. currently I'm listening to a playlist called Road Trippin by hillaryjg... go and check it out... some good cruising around in the sun tracks... light and easy and fun...

Currently I'm sitting in the house... wanting to be back outside... but I'm not what sure to work on outside... I could clean up the front garden a bit... BUT I really want to get the inside of the house tidy... but I don't physically want to do the work... I need a maid... just once a week to clean the bathrooms... scrub the floors and wipe down the kitchen... and vacuum... yeah... that would work... Oh and to do the laundry too... HA!..

I've gotten a few sweet photos of our little TinTin in the past couple of days... 


...she is quite the little devil... a sweet little devil...


...she's a spunky little monkey...


I've not really thought much about the stuff I'm stoked on Sunday for today... but I guess all of the above apply... I'm stoked that it is beautiful out today...  I'm still stoked on 8tracks... not so stoked on house cleaning... and... well... stoked that we have little TinTin... 

Oh!.. have you tried out NTC?.. Do you like it?.. I was trying to work out every day... but from not working out to working out every day I'm finding it hard to stay on track... new plan... work out on Sunday... Tuesday... and Thursday... I feel like perhaps that isn't enough to be super fit... but it really beats doing nothing... so I guess I'll see where three days a week gets me...

Okay... time to get it done here...  the washing machine is singing my song... maybe I can super clean the house quickly enough that I'll get out into the front garden just as the sun is making its way over the top of the house and has the front garden in full sun... that's what I'll aim for!.. 

Have a good rest of your weekend!.. The countdown is on for the long weekend next weekend!

Getting Back At Life...


Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

I had started back on working out again a few weeks back... but with losing our sweet boy Milo I've become a moping mess again... today the sun is out and I wasn't stuck at work until late... I got home at a decent time... started supper... threw on some random workout mix from 8Tracks and NTC and had at it for 45 minutes... and pushed myself hard... I know it will make me feel good after a few days... after a few sore days that is...

This leads me to a few things that I'm stoked on... I've missed the past few weekends of Stuff I'm Stoked On Sunday... The first two things are apps...

8Tracks... I have it on my iPhone... and on my iPad... it appears that you can also access it on the internet using your computers!.. That is AWESOME!.. you can listen to ANYTHING on there!.. it's a great way to find new music that you've never heard before... search a type of music... search an artist... search a mood even!.. I started using it to find hiphop mixes... then workout mixes... this past week Beastie Boy mixes... and yesterday evening sleep mixes... not to fall asleep to or sleep while playing but just to chill out to in the evening...



NTC... I have this on my iPhone... and on my iPad too!.. it's that good... and fine on either device... you don't need to go to a gym to work out ... you don't need a pile of equipment to work out... use yourself and a few small weights... easy... try it out... or have you already tired it!?. what do you think?..




There was another thing... what was it... OH... the sunshine that all of a sudden seems to be up earlier in the morning and staying up later at night than me... that is completely fine... it is much better than waking up and going to sleep in darkness!.. Hello sunshine... I've missed you...


ANNND... the other thing... I finally got my drivers license... yeah I know... very lame to have not had it yet... I'd had my permit for years... yeah... YEARS... anywhoot... I have it now... I'm a driving machine... AND driving is a ton of fun!..


And I'm still digging Instagram... have you tried it?.. do you use it?.. what's your user name?.. mine is just Lacey Haskell... search me!.. follow me!.. 


What are you stoked on this week?..

Another Sad Day...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

I can't believe it... that I'm even typing this right now after the past couple of months we've had with our furbabies... our sweet sweet Milo boy had gotten very ill again over the past couple of weeks and went back into emergency care this past weekend... we didn't want him suffering as he had multiple things working against him... we had to let him go... I just can't fucking believe it...


Our hearts have broken wide open... again... unexpected illness...

He was such a good boy... a little ladies man... a man's man... he loved up everyone and acted extra cute when we had visitors... he was Chris's boy... he was my little man... I couldn't take out the camera without him rubbing by and getting some part of himself in the shot... 


Every morning he would come into the bathroom while I was getting ready for the day and get up into his basket... okay I would pick him up before he had a chance to jump up into his basket... just lending a hand...  once I got to straightening my hair I would stop and comb him... his whiskers... backs of his ears... tum... under his chin... then I'd steal a few under the chin kitty kisses... he would stretch his head right back... every now and then I'd get a bite on the nose... never hard... just a little bite...


Whenever Chris was sitting on the couch Milo would get right up on his lap and chest for some snuggly snuggles and scratches... I would always tell people that he was like a puppy when trying to describe his personality... he was so affectionate... he loved to be chased around the house... and was a pro at the hid and sneak up... When you open the pantry he was straight into the recycle bin.... Milo, like Cleo, was such a part of our lives...  I still can't believe that he is gone...
