Anyway so confused on where to shop tomorrow. Changed my mind between metro, giant tiger, Walmart, food basics several times. I'm driving myself nuts over here lol. Also not sure where to go for lunch ha. Boston pizza, coffee warehouse (has a chef with nice lunch) radical gardens(a store also with a chef and good lunches) Sivas, Montana's. Hmm

Recently went to Montanas since it's Grandson's favourite restaurant and I had the chicken fajitas...meh. I've had better, but I've also had worse. They don't skimp on portions, though, do they?!

I'm finding more and more that chains just don't bother me..I'd rather go to a small bistro or a local restaurant even if we are the only white people there....


Actually..if we ARE the only white people there, it's probably authentic!

Lol hicks.


A little story about my mom.I still think about the time I heard my mom scream from her room. I went running to see what happened. I found her sitting in an open suitcase on the floor. She was about to pack for a trip but tripped and fell butt first into the suitcase. I couldn't stop laughing and my mom yelling at me made me laugh even more. I grabbed her arm and helped her up and then she couldn't stop laughing because she realized how funny it looked to me seeing her sitting in the suitcase. Every time I think about it, it makes me smile and laugh thinking about my mom.

Reminds me of the time LilP decided that potty training was for wimps and using the toilet was a big penguin thing. He hadn't realised that the seat had a bigger opening and after climbing up and sitting down....all that was visible was flailing arms and legs..

Me being the A+ Parent I am...just burst out laughing for several minutes...IN the future he'll be glad I didn't have a cell phone and post his picture onto social media...

[cabmonk]

Lol that's Funny. If I forget seat is up and it's an occasion I need to sit I have still fallen in a couple times.

Yeah @Lynn49 I like big portions lol. Might go to radical gardens tomorrow (not a chain they have their own farm and a small store/restaurant. Tomorrow's lunch is carne asada tacos. It's about 2 1/2 blocks from me.

[22hicks]

Good morning every1. I want to wish you all a fantastic day.
Ok Nat, let's dance.

[danger_dan]

Morning peeps...must have forgotten to drop in this morning....so much to do at the office...

[Lynn49]

Good morning, everyone!!

A quiet day/weekend with the kids gone: it's our Grandson's b'day trip to Toronto (he chose it over a traditional b'day party)...today Wonderland, tomorrow Science Centre then Midieval Times dinner, Sunday some sort of reptile place in Vaughan on the drive home.

DH will likely drive to camp today or tomorrow to retrieve our potted plants since we won't be there this weekend nor the next (DH's 70th b'day trip to TO), so we'll need them here to care for. I'm going to cut something out for myself from one of the patterns/fabrics I bought yesterday..

Have a wonderful Friday, everyone, whatever you may be up to...
@danger_dan , I hope your busy day is at least a short one and you can get away early to start your weekend.
@cabmonk , @dart hPenguin, although we have a pretty large community here (over 160,000 people and growing), bistros tend to be in the downtown area where we don't really go...nothing much to do or see there, or scattered in outlying areas and are very often the "greasy spoon" variety which is great if one isn't watching one's figure... Which, unfortunately I always seem to be doing!! Grrr....
@22hicks , @Natalka , you two go ahead and dance the day away!! My back still isn't great, which is why I'm not taking the trip to the island, so I'll just watch and take pictures, okay?

So all my groceries and laundry is done. I took my laundry to a place that is a 20 min bus ride. But it's a place in same building as foodland. While clothes were drying I went to food land. Then after I dropped everything off at home I went to pine dairy bar. Double Bacon cheese burger with fries and a drink was $17. But so good, everything is fresh.

[cabmonk]

Oh yeah and my laundry smelled so bad on the bus. Like dirty socks reeked lol. I think a girl sat behind me and then moved.

[cabmonk]

Just me again lol. One thing I bought at foodland today was 2 packs of meat ends for $2.50 each. Years ago I started buying meat ends. My friend was like yuk what are you going to do with all those useless leftover cold cut pieces. When I told him I like to chop them up and use as pizza topping, he was like omg what a good idea lol.

[dededi]

Good morning everyone, I hope you have a great weekend.

[22hicks]

Good morning. Just about to head out, but I wanted to wish you all a great day.
