Days 2 & 3 and a Skirt

Day 2 of 31 days of fun is your favorite movie.

I can't pin point one favorite movie at this said time. I am one to like movies that others may not like, and I dont' jump on the band wagon of a movie just because everyone else does. Case in point, last weekend we saw Inception. I was bored stiff the entire movie. I got it, but I thought there were too many layers of dreamland and found that the first half didn't match last half. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

So for my favorite movie I'll resort to my childhood favorite: Top Gun. I saw it for the first time when I was 11 staying up too late courtest if grandpa was baby sitting me. I got my first celebrity crush (Tom Cruise) and loved thast movie for years to come.


Day 3 of 31 days of fun is your favorite TV show.

Hands down, Grey's Anatomy. I know it's lagged in some peoples opinions that last few seasons. I loved the last season for it's intensity. I was hooked from the first episode I saw in season 2 and have never looked back.

I bought a black pencil skirt last month. I have been seaching high and low for the right skirt for a good 10 months it seems and I found what I thought was the perfect one. I finally got a chance to wear it to an interview today and to run some errands and by the time I got home it had stretched out and was more like an A-line skirt.

Pencil skirt FAIL.

I should've known it's a size 0 (I have a 31 inch waist there is no way in HELL I am a size 0) the clothes at this store fit on the big side. It's going back. This store has "No sale is ever final" return policy.

Now my search for the perfect pencil skirt has started again. *Sigh*

Not feeling it

I haven't been feeling the blog this week. In fact, I haven't been feeling a lot of blogs. Which is very strange for me being an avid blog reader since 2005... I had my dad staying with us for over a week and then the next day I had another friend stay with us so I just haven't been feeling it...

I'm also fighting a summer cold mixed in with allergies another reason I am not in the mood.

We had a great day as a family today. We took Aaron to a truck show at a miniature railway museum in Saanich and he had blast touching all the rims on the big rigs. He got to bounce in the bouncy castle, go for a tractor ride and a train ride. We came home and he crashed and we vegged around the house until we went downtown for the Symphony Splash fireworks in the Victoria Inner Harbour.

These were Aaron's first fireworks and he loved them. I was disappointed that they only last between 2-5 minutes (I shit you not.) Canada isn't known for its great fireworks IMO but my god, this is a long weekend, we have rich tourists on their yachts could you at least make them go for 10 minutes? I was spoiled growing up with the Symphony of Fire in Vancouver now known as the Celebration of Lights. Seriously the best fireworks I have ever seen. Eric disagrees (he hasn't seen them) and thinks the 4Th of July fireworks in Pearl Harbor are they best.

If you want to get a taste of Festival of Lights watch this video, it's only 2 min long.



I may be working soon and have been looking for quality child care for Aaron. I've been busy.

I found a new blogger and am going to take place in her 31 Days of Fun for August. Feel free to jump on the old band wagon if you wanna.
