Christmas, moving, Chloe, Thanksgiving, and other random thoughts

Today, my thoughts are coming to you in fragments. 

- I didn't celebrate Thanksgiving yesterday. Thanksgiving is SO last month. Literally, since I'm Canadian. This is what we did on Thanksgiving, what I was thankful for on Thanksgiving, and my little turkey's Thanksgiving suit. 

- TGIF, simply because it's one day closer to moving day, which I am super excited for. It's Tuesday, BTW. 

- Wednesday night Chloe slept 9 hours straight. I, however, kept waking up all night for some reason. 

- My step-mother and half sister came to visit with me and Chloe Thursday night. It was a nice visit. I'm glad they got to spend time with her. 

- I found not one, but two free couches that I can pick up the day I move. They're white, and not the prettiest, but they're free! 

- I am getting so excited for Christmas. I can't wait to get moved, get my tree back, and start decorating. Even though I have a limited budget, I'm not worrying about it. I wish I could spend tons on everyone, but I can't. I got something pretty cool for my brother which is great because he doesn't normally get anything exciting.

- On a sad note, it's been a year since my grandfather has his stroke. It makes me sad re-reading that post I wrote just two days after it happened, but more than anything I'm just grateful here's still here with us, he seems happy, and he's in great physical health. I hope he keeps kicking around long enough so Chloe can be old enough to remember her old Pepe. He loves her so much. 

- Today I officially have a two-month old daughter. Her two month photos will be coming along next week. In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful photo from the other day: 

Have a great weekend! 

Friday Fragments

A lot of my posts end up coming out on fragments. So since it's Friday and I've heard of something called 'Friday Fragments', I googled it to find the host blog, and I'm taking part.

 - I realized how much time I've wasted this week watching movies. I watched two movies with Abigail Breslin, and three with Ryan Reynolds. (Little Miss Sunshine, Definitely Maybe, The Proposal, and Just Friends). I won't even get started on the other movies I've watched lately. Basically, I'm running out of movies.

 - I also realized how much time I waste in Michael's. Today was the second time that I've gone in there and wandered around for probably about an hour. By the time I come out, the nice weather has changed into a storm. Twice! But I did find so many new things in there today that I'd love to play around with to decorate my baby's room. I like the idea of the baby's name spelled out in white letters. Except I'd probably decorate them with my nursery colors - which are probably going to be lime green and pink for a girl or lime green and blue for a boy.

 - Lately, my first thought upon waking up in the morning is 'now what?' Usually it takes awhile for the energy to kick in so I don't feel up for much and I am so tired of watching tv and movies (see above). I've run out good things to watch. 

 - I really like this idea for a boy's room. Here's another different one. Stay tuned for more decorating ideas that I found and love. 

That's it for Friday Fragments. I had less to say than I thought.
