So, I was away last week at a conference in Toronto. I was eating well... not sure about the boys. lol. It was a great conference called Flash in the Can. It's a digital, multimedia conference. I arranged it for the whole studio to attend. I attended all the days while the studio had a couple days here and there. Met top people in the industry including the developer and right had man to Bill Gates... Well, I'm sure Bill has a lot of right hand men but I met one. Along with the Creative Director who did the opening credits for the movie Se7en. That's all he does, creates opening sequences to all the top movies, like... Superman, Spiderman, Ironman... I can't remember them all. Uber talented people. 


But, I'm back to reality now and getting super excited about Paris... 12 more sleeps!!!!

So, my bad luck comes in three's... first the propane, then the basement flood. Now, shingles were blown off of our roof. We had a really bad wind storm a couple weeks ago. Power outages everywhere, including work, including a gas leak at our office too which resulted in me evacuating the building because the smell was so strong. I noticed a few other homes in our area had shingles missing too. 


So, the bad news is because we claimed the flood, we really can't claim the roof too. I suspect it's going to cost us $1,000 to fix. I'm going to look into it after I'm back from Paris. Right now we have plastic of some sort covering the bare area. The guys who did our basement did that quick fix. 


As for the basement, still no carpet so that is in limbo. Honestly, I haven't even been around to care but I will have to get on it when I'm back! The house seems like it's falling apart!!!

Here's one of the last meals that I've cooked since April. Pork chops, mashed potatoes and homemade apple chunks. Sadly, I've been so busy I really haven't been cooking. Not a good way to lead up to Mother's Day. I don't expect much from my son this year. As I really have not been around :(

French toast to continue my french food theme! Haha, the pan is coming in very handy. 

Making crêpes in prep for my trip to Paree!!! I will definitely have to have a french crêpe while I'm there. Notice I am using the kitchen aid pan that you bought me. Love those frying pans thank you!! They make beautiful crêpes!!!

Mumsie!! I miss you. Where did the time go? I have some serious catching up to do!!! Not sure if I talked to you about the horse clinic. The guy was a real horse whisperer. Gorde Searle from Alberta. It was a rainy day but a lot of people showed up. I learned a lot from him. But, wasn't too inspired to get back on a horse. I ended up cancelling my lessons since. Yup. I haven't ridden in about a month which is the longest I have gone without riding. Sad, I know. But, I did it because it was relaxing and enjoying for me. With my new coach and the loss of Beau, I lost all of that. I know it will come back but I'm just taking a break from it for now.
