Last day of April.  And… the first day of the rest of Arosa’s life.  ;)   My niece was born today, 4/30 at 3:34pm!  Cooool.  She’s cute  :)   Welcome to life Arosa.

Finally decided to go through a few of my books today, to separate a few of the ones that I DON’T want to keep.  I think I was able to get rid of about 15 without feeling guilty.   Yeah, I need to try again.

so many unread pages... sigh

More flowery goodness leads us to the front yard.  This poor little guy is all by himself in the front garden area.  I can only imagine what he contemplates by sitting alone out there, having beat all the rest of the flowers to the sun.  Perhaps if he’d been patient, he’d have some company.

I was alone... I was all by myself

It seems just within the last couple of days that spring has truly sprung.  The flowers are growing and trees are budding.  This is from a shrub or tree branch in our neighbours’ yard that has snuck through the fence onto our side.  :)

Went over to my brother’s place for a BBQ.  My mom’s in town for a little while awaiting the birth of my niece, any time now!  It was nice to get to visit her a few times while she was here.

We went for a brief walk with Jasper to give my brother some more time to BBQ peacefully.  lol  This is he with my mom, and a flower (dandelion) that I picked for him.  lol

dandy!

I apparently realized I didn’t have enough photos lately of Kitty and myself.  This is the best I could do….

Not gonna lie, I think this pic is kinda gross.  Unfortunately, it’s all I took today.  lol

I used to LOVE making chicken. It’s one of my favourite foods.  Considering it’s just me for now though (well, I do have 2 roommates, but don’t cook for them as much as I probably should… lol) I rarely make MEALS anymore.  However, I felt inspired and bought some chicken.  This is mid-cook… obviously, as the pinkness can testify to.

I’m sure instant coffee isn’t that exciting to people who don’t drink it.  But, I have found myself in the habit of having a mug every morning at work.  It’s very cheap this way… a $3 – $4 jar of it lasts a really long time.  If I were to buy each of these coffees separately I can imagine it easily adding up to over $50.  Frugality is a virtue (or should be).

who would ever imagine this would turn into a tasty pick me up

Ended up getting bored and playing with the camera to realize that a beer bottle makes a really interesting filter.  In the middle is Dan, on the phone with me, wearing his hippie shirt from Hallowe’en last year.  lol  :)

Visited my brother today.  My mom is in town, as we’re awaiting the birth of my niece any day now.   This is how a 2 year old eats ice cream treats.  Don’t let the eyebrows fool you.  That means he’s having a good time.

Today, in lieu of doing the regular Sunday Walk a few of us participated in a Tree Planting event for Earth Day.  It was a cool and windy day, but I think we felt accomplished in the end!

I finally broke in the glasses that I purchased at the going-out-of-business sale at our local hang out.  I wish I’d done so sooner!  They’re very sturdy.

I don’t get to watch movies as much as I’d like at the moment, but when I do my attention span doesn’t last through the movie anyways.  haha  But tonight I watched one.  Or tried, at least.

So this was a portion of my GST cheque and tax refund that I cashed today.  Much appreciated and much needed $$!   Hurrah!
