Tonight I’m not going, but there is disco bingo happening at Humphrey’s on bank st.
Saturday – Free Pancake breakfast
Visiting a travel agent
Going to thai food for dinner

going to an open house

wishing I was going to mudoven, going to see an imax movie, knitting more of my blanket.

Tonight I’m going out for drinks with some friends. Sunday hosting a lunch for my Mom’s 60th with 25 special women in her life (friends from childhood until now). Unfortunately, most of my weekend will be spent prepping and fussing for that, but it should be worth all the work!

Working on my Kate Chopin Essay and studing for my Art History Midterm both next week.
What I really want to do is go to winterlude and see Colin James but my date cancel and I really have to work on this essay.
So you go see Colin James take pictures and make me feel LIKE i should have went.
Sigh

It’s Lucas’s first birthday on Sunday, so the inlaws are visiting. Cuz nothing reduces the stress of a week that has not one but TWO birthdays AND a return to work after a year of absence like overnight visitors, right?

So the early part of the weekend will comprise of frantic cleaning, the middle part of playing Winterlude host and tourist, and the end a bit of birthday celebrating.

I’m exhausted just thinking about it!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
