10 Things: The good, the bad, and the ugly

1. We got a 6 seater patio set for $209! Yay for Zellers going out of business (to make way for Target). Photos to come...after I set it up
2. My capstone project is becoming the bane of my existence. Too much politics and people who expect you to read their minds.
3. Thomas is doing his best to repeat every word we say. It is so cute.
4. The idea that a "driven woman" would not be satisfied to have kids (and lots of time with them) and a mediocre career or no career at all is really frustrating. {The implication being that if your ambition is to be a wonderful mother, you are obviously not driven}
5. Mom and dad arrive next Wednesday. Time to start cleaning!
6. Dave and I made dinner 5 nights in a row. This must be some sort of record. Or miracle. Or both. Don't worry, we are going out for dinner tonight.
7. I also made cookies and a carrot cake. And the kitchen is clean. That really is a miracle.
8. Less than 2 months left on our too-expensive cell phone plans. Time to say see-ya Telus!
9. We have been in this house for almost 2 years and I finally made blackout curtains for our bedroom. Think it's a coincidence that it happened one day shy of the longest day of the year? (sunrise at 5:20 and sunset at 9:56)
10. We've been taking a few bike rides a week and Thomas loves his bike seat. And helmet (heh-mee).
