Modelling her new EUROPEAN clothes, Bridget looks happy and refreshed. A life time of memories made.

My poor poor little bro has an extremely high fever. He was at a cottage all weekend partying so he must have picked something up there. Luckily he went to the walk-in clinic for some antibiotics.

Before taking this picture I said, "Now make sure you're all tucked in under the bankies. This is the biggest thing that happened today so it has to go on my blog." Brother responded, "Ok.. one sec.. let me put on my hat."

Fashion doesn't stop people, even when you're rocking a fever of 102.

August long weekend! So glad to have today off work - spent the day outside once again, reading, swimming and playing with Dooley. I'm already a hundo-pages into my book World War Z, which is shaping up to be quite the read.

I was in the sun way too long, from 11am - 4pm so I'm pretty burnt on my legs. YES I WORE SUNSCREEN. Bah! I can't win. I'm either really white or Red Lobster style. It sucks being an Irish Rose.

After my day outside I retreated to "the cave" aka my basement to clean house. I cleaned up my living area (yes, Sheila if you're reading this , I said MY living area), bathroom and bedroom. Everything is now spic and span!

I've just started watching Dollhouse. I love me some Joss Whedon and even though I hated Eliza Dushku on Buffy (only because she was so damn evil) I'm liking her in this role. *LIGHTBULB MOMENT* - My sista-in-law Shamara (aka @shamaras on twitter) looks JUST like Eliza!

I didn't make it in to work yesterday but tried really really hard to do it today and... I did it!

The 5.5 hrs of OT wasn't too bad as I was able to email back and forth with RICHARD (Yes, the very Richard this site is dedicated to) until he had to go to bed.

I was the only person on my floor, so it was very creepy. A few times I thought I saw things out of the corner of my eye and I'm positive a radio mysteriously turned on at the half-way point of my shift. Strange occurrences, no doubt.

Toronto was very quiet on the way in (8am) but by the time I left there were a few people on the streets of the Financial district. The picture above was taken from my car as I arrived in the city around 845am. This view is from York Street, facing north towards Front St. It's nice to be home now, going to relax outside, drink some GATO NERO wine and watch True Blood later on : )

I was supposed to head into work today for some overtime, but I was soooo sleepy and the weather was to be absolutely beautiful so I stayed home instead.

I hung out in the yard, sun "tanning" and reading. I finished "Blindness" and started "World War Z" immediately after. I really liked Blindness and would recommend the book, especially for the prose.

After being outside all day I retreated to my cave (a.k.a. THE BASEMENT) to watch some flims. I saw the movie-version of Blindness On Demand so thought I'd check that out. Since I had JUST finished the book, the movie was pretty disappointing. I wouldn't recommend. I did highly enjoyed the Swedish vampire movie "Let the Right One In." Now THIS is how you do a vampire love story, so suck on that Stephanie Meyers. "Let the Right One In" is currently playing on TMN but if you can't catch it there I'd go rent it. If it was out when I was 12 or 13 I'd have been ALL over it.
