for the record.. this is not me.. I do not drink Heineken..
My backyard is coming along swimmingly!! yes.. I said swimmingly! I am going to get grass tomorrow.. and than I will move onto the flowers :) it is going to be the most perfect tiniest backyard ever!! ok.. prob not.. but I do feel like an adult now having to take care of things myself.. if only the landscapers would swing around to the backyard as well ;) all we are waiting for now.. is the sunshine.. my soul needs it.. it needs to wake up to sun beaming in through the blinds.. it needs to wake up to a fresh pot of coffee with amaretto coffee creamer.. it needs to allow me to suntan and play with olive outside.. it needs morning walks.. where it isn’t quite hot out yet.. but we are all in denial that it is.. so we wear shorts and sandals.. and cute little tank tops.. and most of all.. it needs to be near the water.. there has always been this part of me that knows my soul is meant to be by water.. I never put two and two together until I read The Red Tent.. ( which by the way.. should be read by everybody ).. I could never live anywhere where water was not 20 minutes away.. I once drove an hour and a half to get to a lake when I lived in Toronto.. and it was ca-razy town.. I love the beach.. I dragged Olive to one all last summer.. in her cute little bathing suit.. drinking her bubbas.. trying not to overheat.. and this year.. now that she is walking.. it will be so much easier.. I hope..
on a totally random note.. I am obsessed with J Crew.. how we did not become friends sooner.. I will never know.. and why.. oh why.. did this bag sell out before I bought it?
Well.. Fourth of July is a comin.. and that means I am hosting my annual ” Canadians and Australians living in America Fourth of July Party” and yes.. there will be a banner! the menu is coming along.. and party ideas are in action.. and what a beautiful addition to this years party.. a backyard! This year may be a tad different than the others.. the first year.. me and Lu were fall over drunk by 2:30pm.. a glass had already broke.. and someone put me in charge of bbq’ing the meat!? I am surprised I have any eyebrows left.. there was a American flag cake fight.. and the kids that were at the party ended up playing with a food processing blade that I found on my floor the next morning..
The next year was cancelled due to a George Michael concert.. (that is my only exception to canceling).. it is also safe to say.. don’t bring a 4 1/2 month preggo girl to a concert with people who know they have a designated driver!..
and finally last year was a last minute thrown together.. guests will be here in an hour party.. which was also very fun because we had some new additions to our Guest List.. olive and winny..
I love any excuse to throw a party.. and the holidays work just fine! I know there are few of you who will get this.. but I am already getting pumped for Christmas… yes I said it.. Celine Dions Blue Christmas came on my Ipod at the gym today.. and I got all warm and fuzzy inside.. and thought of how I would decorate my mantle this year.. and if there is a specific colour I will go for.. It is sad I know.. and maybe if it was sunny.. these thoughts would go away and I could focus again on bbqs and the beach?!
