Have you ever, ever smell a sardine? Oil or in tomato sauce they smell alright at home and stinky outdoors. Totally stinky as in fishy, I have read an article today in the Internet that you must have nuts in whatever kinds, crackers and sardine in your drawer in the office. Hell no to sardine, yes you can brush your teeth after the meal or snack, still it’s not smelly inviting. What if you’re going to have an accident tripping the sardine on to the carpet, worst to your clothes and/or shoe? Totally pathetic, I eat sardine and I know how stinky it is.
Here we go again, I am close to buying a car, by next week I would probably do my drive test, and if I pass. I will definitely going back to car research again from looking the cheapest auto insurance and car model to affordable mileage. I’m still struggling for the parallel and backing parking in between two cars. My driving instructor is going to eat me or he will get crazy. I told him before I start steering his car that I am the worst first time driver in Canada. He seems to forget my words. I am more scared of my instructor than driving now.
I hop and hop finding the best buys in town for winter stuff. Today, IKEA is having a four-day sale. I’m particularly aiming for the duvet. Great! As in it sells hot as pancake, I came late or rather I’m too slow. I missed it. So, we just wander around, had lunch, buy scented candles and curtain rod. Nothing more interesting for my skinny wallet, the next time sale I may be standing outside the door waiting for them to open. This sounds pretty sure I could have my buys. I remember last year’s Boxing Day. I was 15 minutes early outside the futureshop for my canon camera. Oh yes, I got one out of 10 pieces available for holiday discount. Literally, there were no sweat of waiting and grabbing. I wish my entire midnight and Boxing sales are sweet as ordering cappuccino.
Kids must be excited on back to school fever. Who is not, when they will have new bags, shoes, notebooks and school attires? These are the few things I love most every back to school time, also love new textbooks. Yes, it’s ridiculous while secondhand bookstore sell textbooks for a bargain. My son is not excited of school stuff yet but waiting for the class to start. What could you expect for the kindergarten? That reminds me of not getting crazy buying stuff. I’m nosy though when it comes to “on sale” back to school thingy.
My head is aching, tummy is gurgling and hungry. I have few nuggets of something sweet and floury that can bridge my hunger until I cook the first dish for supper, yet I still wait until I finished my baking. I make some steam rice pudding and apple pie, all from scratch. Gee, you might think that I’m not that hungry at all. Actually, I’ve totally forgotten my hunger due to delicious aroma of my pastries. I was also occupied thinking what to feed to my tot. Every day is always challenging when it comes to feeding the double terrible tot. Now, tell me who really master the chores of feeding the picky terrible?
I was just talking about the incoming holidays that make me fat indulging all the delicious foods cook only for the occasion. Since we are new here, we always get the invites. In most times we brought food and gifts for the inviting friend. Some gifts are for fun like the Padron cigars, none of my friends smoke, may be their oldies. Gee, holidays are really coming and I don’t have plans yet about it. Now, I’m busy preparing for my son’s back to school shopping. It should not take time to shop but I’m waiting for it specially the best buy.
It’s another month of the year that my friends have to fast and refraining from doing things ordinarily enjoyed every day. But they could do it at sun down anyway. We love to go wandering around the mall, doing small shopping and eat the best thing of them all. Seemingly, we must not disturb each other for the whole month to avoid temptations. I mean, I don’t want to be branded as the devil. This must be a good time for me to meditate and discern on how to land a job. It’s been a week now since I started applying for a job. I know I still have responsibility for my double terrible tot. That’s part of my plan, God knows how I manage it before, and I would definitely do it again.
Who could stop the incoming holidays? Starts from Halloween and Thanksgiving Days to Happy 2011 New Year’s Day, these are only the major incoming celebrations that we always partake with our family and friends. If you are not planning to invite us for any of these best holidays, I guess that is alright, I bet you would receive one of the holiday invitations from your relatives and friends. Like me whose 99 percent of my family, relatives and friends lives abroad, definitely inviting any of them for the holidays is not happening. I might be getting invitations for the holidays though from my new found friends here.
They said I must not panic about the West Nile Virus. Who cares, I am panicking today when my boys open the balcony and let two or more mosquitoes in. I could not stand even one of them with virus or not, how much more when you know that there are mosquitoes in the city tested positive of the deadly virus. I may be exaggerating to you, as I was just saying I am panicking. Shut down all the works and hunt for the uninvited guests. So far, we swat two mosquitoes. I hope that was all. I could not bear to carry and accept anyone in this room get sick. Who wants to get sick anyway? Even saying sick is already alarming, how much more mentioning and feeling the worst one like west nile virus.
It’s our first time to join the “Greek Festival”, not really one of the active presenters but one of the participants. We enjoyed a long walk along the Danforth Toronto area, enjoyed the palatable and delicious Greek delicacies. I am proud to know that we are one of the one million visitors for the three days event. Imagine, seeing people from other countries and Canadians to Torontonians, from all ages and I even saw one whose carrying a respironics oxygen concentrator. The festival is really fabulous that no one could resist letting go to one of the most awaited events of this summer. What would be the next Toronto escape?
Staying at home for three straight years with poor socialization is like knocking your head on the wall on purpose. I am too burn-out of doing the same things day-by-day, from budgeting and other financial planning to kid school activities. My hubby has done something but only work-work-work. You will never guess what he has done at home. Actually, nada and we don’t even go on vacation or some sort of day trip to cool the weeks or years off. I mean, if most working men are doing the budgeting, paying bills, sometimes mowing the lawn and have little recreations. Count my hubby out because he thinks that working and bringing the bread at home are enough. Gosh, I don’t mind the chores and the budgeting stuff. I just need some air to breath. Taking care of a four- year old should be fun but since I solely plan the entire family’s future, it is tiring than working.
This is may be the right time to know about car insurance. As I have told you previously that at the moment I am doing my driving lessons and classes, I am hoping to pass the test drive, and then get a car before the winter snow falls. I never feel excited of driving or to have a car. I hate driving but I have to do it by hook or by crook. I need it for my son to go to school and back most specially in harsh winter weather. So far, I asked for one auto insurance company and it turns out expensive. Wherever in Canada, especially the populated areas car insurance is way high up to the nose, and most particularly to new drivers young or old. Amazing, I could not get away with expensive insurance. It will reduce though to an affordable rate in many years to come. Whatever!
