Moving on up.

After I pay off my car, I need something else to save for. I like that about my personality – I’m an aggressive money saver or pay-off’er. I have decided that I will save for a down payment on a home. The boyf and I have been talking and we think that’s the best option. However, we still don’t know where we’re going to live. Right now we’re in Southern Ontario, and we almost want to pack up and move to Northern Ontario where all of our friends are.  I’m basically up for anything, as right now we have been living here for close to five years and still haven’t made any close friends.

I already have a few things picked out in a home that are sort of must-haves. I desperately want a dishwasher. It would be very nice to have two sinks in the bathroom, and I want a fireplace. Scott’s must-have’s are a two car garage! I swear, we have million dollar taste. None of us really requires that we get Undermount Granite Sinks, thankfully. I bet those are expensive!

What are your must-have’s in a home?

Photo re-cap weekend.

Picture post re-cap of the weekend! First of all, it’s my AWESOME bosses birthday today. Doubt she reads my blog, or even knows about it. But I wanted to just let that out.

Friday I worked at the other office (and totally took advantage of our full length mirrors. Hey, I don’t have one at home, or at my other office!) which is in the twin-city and about 10km’s away from my house.

outfit-fridayWhen it’s someone’s birthday, the birthday girl/guy brings in treats for all of the staff. The office that I normally work out of is quite small and we neverrrr have birthdays on week days it seems, and even if they do – they don’t bring in treats for us :(

Well, my boss definitely filled our tummy’s with some make-your-own sundae’s! What an awesome thing to do, especially on a gorgeous sunny Friday afternoon. Tons of goodies and toppings.

IMG09309Here’s mine. This may or may not have been my second helping. Chocolate whip cream, skor bits, and caramel sauce! My mouth is watering, and my stomach is hurting just looking at it. P.S. Cherries, fruit and caramel don’t mix well together and doesn’t make the best appetite suppressant review ;)

IMG09311Aerie gave out gift cards which had a $10, $25, or some insane amount of money guaranteed on it, so I ended up spending some on fresh new undies.aerie I LOVE buying underwear and I hardly ever need to do laundry because of it. I should probably purge it however, since I have way too many. But! Here’s my newest editions. Cute huh!?

aerie1The other day I mentioned on Locupleto that I had a gift card that I needed to spend. Well, the boyf and I headed out to a late night supper to Montana’s restaurant and ate ourselves silly. We didn’t even get an appetizer or dessert. It was all you can eat rib night (he had ribs) and I had my famous super large helping of chicken nachos! I think I devoured the whole plate.

In all our glory.

montanas-nmontanas-sNow today was especially different as I rarely drive my car (myself) out of the city. My cousin who sort of lives in Guelph (sometimes Ottawa lol) was around, so puppster and I headed on over to spend the afternoon with her, her new adopted 5 year old Pom/Yorkie called Hagrid! Yes! From Harry Potter :) I didn’t get to take any photos of them together since Hagrid doesn’t like people, but doesn’t mind dogs. It was a bit overwhelming for Alfie I think because he’s totally conked out tired now.

Gotta run to the store and get some essential milk and bread now! Later gators.

Plan that supper out, lady!

mpm-1

I have decided to partake in Menu Plan Monday and be organized this week! She even has a ton of recipes to choose from.

Monday: Asparagus wrapped in Chicken [ x ]

Tuesday: Pork chops, mashed potatoes, and either broccoli or carrots. Maybe both!

Wednesday: Kitchen sink stuffed chicken [ x ]

Thursday: Chicken Pad Thai [ x ]

Friday: Quiche [ x ], garlic bread and a summer salad

Saturday: Chicken, roasted potatoes, and carrots

Sunday: BBQ Asian Stir fry [ x ]

I don’t always stick to the meal plan. Some days I get completely lazy and end up just making pasta with sauce and shredded cheese, or just a big ol’ frozen pizza.
