Check out this shot from the roof of a building that a work peep and I were checking the plumb of last Friday... for my big project at work... I could have puked looking down from the top of this building... not a fan of heights!.. makes my knees wobbly...

...grabbed a few shots of the back garden this evening... it is just exploding... Furs and I are planning to make this back garden large this coming weekend...

...the blue corn flowers have taken over the bottom end of the garden completely...

...and the top end of the garden is being taken over... by the dusty miller... and the silver mound... thats a lavender squashed between the two...

The potted strawberries are doing okay-ish... they're so YUM! when they're warmed from the sun... I think they'd fair out better if they were planted in the ground... not sure if the rabbits would be more inclined to eat them if they were in the ground...

...the two front planters are in full bloom... lavender and lobelia...

...clematis is growing like crazy...

...gnome is buried behind lavender...

...moss is flowering...

AAANNNND check out these super fun treasures from Daiso!..  Neibs A&B were in BC... Amy picked me up some awesome things at Daiso...

...little brown paper muffin cups... BAAGGGHHHH... a whale shower puff with ears...  so cut it just kills me!..

...brought this notebook to work today... super profesh for meeting with clients!.. Ha.. I brought it to the meeting anyhow... because its so effen cute...

Then there are these tasty treats... Japanese Flower Candy... if you ever get the chance to try these DO IT!.. OM NOM NOM NOM...

...the packaging of this stuff is also pretty awesome...

...a sea cow eating a crying whale with ears!?. WTF!?.

BATHTUB WHALE!!.

...just watched three days worth of Coronation Street... I know... NERD CITY!.. I was sitting out on the front steps... its weird out this evening... its 28 degrees out but it doesn't feel super hot at all... now its chillin on the couch time... just ate an ice cream sandwich and a bowl of chippies... for supper... perhaps I should go and ingest some fruit... so don't feel like cooking...

...tomorrow... squats... lunges... jogging...

Oh Hai!... I've gone missing again...

...but I'm back now... didn't go far... didn't really go anywhere... well again... I'm starting to sound like a broken record... was stupid busy at work... That's the last time I'm gonna say that... it must be irritating to read that over and over... for the most part just about everyone is stupid busy at work... so thats it... no more complaining from me about it...

Furs and I went camping with some of my work crew this past Friday night... ...the first annual Heavy camping trip...so I did kinda go somehwere... and it was kinda far... far being relative... and me not being a camper... but still it was like 2.5 - 3 hours away from our house... I think thats far if you're not a camper...

Map... check!..

...a quick stop in Longview along the way to visit Pam at her shop... and to get some road snacks from the Longview Jerky Shop... check!..

...back on the road with the convoy of campers...

...camping!...

Like I said I'm not much of a camper... say if we had a big motor home... and a quad I'd be up for camping all the time... I don't have patience for putting up a tent and then taking down a tent... though it was nice to get out of the city... nothing to hear but the river... birds... and crackling fire... well and hootin' and hollering of the work crew... myself included... no traffic noise though... that was nice...

Luckily today its raining... perhaps a bizarre thing to say... but when its raining out I don't feel bad that I'm indoors because I'm not missing out on any sunshine... I can get some work done in the house!.. and I can just laze around on the couch... when its sunny out I have to be outside... 

What do you use your rainy weekend days to do?..

...tomorrow is supposed to be an even nicer day outside... keep it coming summer!..

...this evening... did some squats and lunges... AND then!?.. went for a run with some of the neibs... well a slow jog is more like it... feel like I could eat a couple McD's Cheeseburgs right now though...

Can't really think of a title... much to tired this evening... maybe Super BBQ Sunday?.. How about HAPPY FATHER'S DAY POPPA!.. How about I Went Shopping This Weekend and Spent Too Much!..  Spent Most of the Weekend in Bed Because I was Feeling Like Crap...

Spent much too much... gotta stop that... found some awesome treasures thought... at Homesense... that place is dangerou!.. and then some clothes at the mall... shirts... belt... knee socks... a dress for Chris's sissa's weddin... it's coming up in August... then also found some killer shoes... on an awesome sale... $125 reg on for $50... SOLD!..

Spent yesterday afternoon/evening/night in bed... feeling out of it... aches... pains... tired... fuzzy head... plugged ears... my system is fighting something off...

Today was low key... tidied house... laundry... picked up a few grocery things... and BBQ fun times with a few Neibs...

Look at what we ate...

Roasted Veggies... parsnips... turnips... squash... carrot... sweet potatoes... tossed in olive oil and herbs de provence...

BBQ'd Chicken breasts and legs...

Tasty Salads... this is just one of two...

I'm so excited!.. Tomorrow at 4pm the Vintage Chicks Sale kicks off!.. 

I'll be there in the morning helping to set up... and to get photos of all of the vendors setting up!..  Furs and I popped down there this evening to bring down my few items and to lend a hand...

Here are a couple shots of a few of my things... I managed to get a couple of things together over the past few days...  I still have the second Demilune Table that needs its final sanding... That'll be tomorrow night so that I can bring it down on Saturday!..

I have a couple small items to tag up before I head to bed... oh and I have to pull out the camera gear that I'm bringing... and make sure my laptop... camera... and phone are all charged up!..
