I am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I have been taking personality tests to figure that out.
I have figured out I am INFP on Meyers Briggs and Type 4 on Enneagram. Now I just have to figure out what that means.

a sunday drive through the country
On a Wednesday!
We decided that we were going to drive out to the country today and just look around. We were going to go to the one town but ended up not being able to exit (as it was under construction). We ended up at a completely different place. We started randomly turning with not too much thought to direction. We ended up at another town and wondered around for a bit. I ended up getting a new band for my watch (I desperately needed a new band) and it now looks like a completely different watch.
We had lunch in this small town (it was really good too). And then we went to heaven...or at least my idea of heaven. We went to a used book store! I found lots of books....but only bought 4. I had to think about how I would get them home...
After (somehow) doing some more random turns we ended up back in the city.
I wish there was more to say (but alas there is not).
Except...

there's something about...
Ikea!
Today we went shopping first thing in the morning. We grabbed some essentials and then it was off to Ikea (for some fun). Fortunately, (I believe) I have been able to keep my spending habits under control. I did not buy too much at Ikea (but may have bought more if I did not have to pack it to bring back home). Although (I believe) I am practical and probably would have restrained myself anyway. But to just think of everything I would buy if I had a bigger house...(sigh).
My biggest purchases were for a couple of girls who start with the letter A (to celebrate their new rooms). I am hoping I can fit everything in my suitcase. (why did I pack so much?)
The sad (and tragic) news from today is that my purse broke. Alas, I will need to use some crazy glue to repair it. (sigh)
I also did laundry (quite exciting) and watched Up.
What will tomorrow bring? (Probably either stuff in the country or canoeing)

Oh Canada (Day)
Yesterday we went to Fallowfield and picked strawberries. C now has lots (and lots and lots) of strawberries. Then we came home and washed them (and ate some as well). When we were in the patch picking strawberries, the Snowbirds flew by above us. It was very Canadian (and strawberries are even red).
We decided to head over to Parliament Hill after supper to take in some of the entertainment. We stayed for a couple of hours but left before the fireworks. However, we did not miss seeing fireworks as there were tons of fireworks being set off around us. It was quite the sight...
The very first year C was in her house, we went to PEI. We ended up coming back from PEI on July first. We went downtown in the afternoon and took in some of the street performers (etc) that were downtown. Unfortunately it started to rain - not just rain but pour. So we ran into the nearest restaurant for something to eat. It was a 2 hour wait (as it was in the other restaurants in that area). We waited and then ate. Afterwards it was still raining so we decided to skip the Parliament Hill entertainment and go home. Imagine our surprise when the city of Nepean set off their fireworks display right outside our door. It was a beautiful sight!
Unfortunately they no longer set it off right there but...we were still able to see fireworks.

a lasagne day
This morning we had bacon, eggs, and toast around 10:30. We did not have lunch (although snacked a bit in the afternoon).
We also made both chocolate lasagne and normal lasagne for supper. We had a guest this evening for supper and he seemed to enjoy it a lot. (We also had garlic toast and caesar salad.)
After supper (but before dessert), we played a game (Forget the name). It was alright for awhile but I got bored and just wanted someone to win. (Our guest did.) Then we had chocolate lasagne and played another game. (it was much more fun and over quickly.)
We have some leftovers for the week - it is good.
The last few nights we have had fireworks set off around the house. Tonight they were right on the street (and really noisy). We will see what happens tomorrow night.
The car does not have air conditioning. Yesterday was a cooler day and I did not notice too much but today was warmer. Since we were not in the car too long, all was well.

Vivre le quebec
This morning we woke up and drove to Tim Horton's. There we ordered breakfast. I rarely eat at Timmy's and even rarer eat breakfast there. It took me awhile to decide but eventually ordered.
We then headed out to the wonderful french city of Montreal. I was tired! I had a really hard time keeping my eyes open. Fortunately I was not driving!
We got into Montreal and found the Eaton's Centre (underground shopping). This was a good thing as it was a rainy day and nice to keep out of the rain. We browsed for about an hour and then decided to stop for lunch (I had a noodle bowl). We then shopped for a couple of more hours. (I bought a wallet and some shoes.)
We (basically) went through the billion shops in the malls and decided to head over to Old Montreal (taking the Metro). After walking around there (and not buying anything), we headed back to the car.
We just made it home and are now ordering supper.
It was a good day but pretty uneventful...

ACHOO
Today is a rainy day so we did not do too much. It is good though as C had to take her car in anyway. (Hence, we were without car.)
ACHOO!
Yesterday we went downtown to see the Jersey Boys. It was a good show. (Although C said she liked Darren Criss better.) Of course, I had to come home and research them to see how accurate the show was.
ACHOO!
We are currently watching the Big Bang Theory discs. (Which was a nice way for me to take a nap. lol)
ACHOO!
After getting her car back, we picked up some groceries today too. It was nice as now we have some idea of what we are going to eat this week.
ACHOO!!
The other thing (in case you couldn't tell) is that I have been sneezing a lot! I am pretty sure it is more allergy related than I am coming down with some sort of illness.
Fortunately I took some allergy medication earlier today and I think it is helping....?
ACHOO!!!
(Maybe not.)
