It Feels Like I Spent My Weekend In My Car

 

As I think I’ve mentioned before, during the winter months it is a lot quieter here on the farm. Even though there is still a lot of work to do, the phones are quieter. Because of this my brother takes Fridays off and I take Mondays. So far, it has been heavenly being able to sleep in on Monday and then I have designated doing something wedding related while I am off as well.

Yesterday was no different. Luckily, yesterday morning my day started out with a hair cut (trim) at my hairdresser and friend, Lisa’s. The appointment after me was Jilly, who is also off on Mondays. It was great spending the morning with the ladies catching about the weekend.

I had great intentions on writing my weekend recap yesterday but girl gab took over that but I still wanted to do one this morning.

I like to pretend Friday didn’t happen. It was one of those days where it seems everything goes wrong and some things did go REALLY wrong.

Saturday morning I visited with Dad who was over to work on my new office and then headed to a shower for Amanda, the soon to be bride!

It was fun watching Amanda open her presents and the food…omg, the food! What a spread there was! The ladies did a great job hosting such a wonderful shower!

It started to snow like crazy and I headed home instead of heading to Ladysmith to visit Bekk because the roads were too snow covered.

Sunday morning, Ryan and I were up BEFORE the birds and on the road at 3 AM! I mentioned before, here, that we had this awesome gift for the groomsmen but that they didn’t allow international shipping. The closest location was 6 hours away in New York state. So, Ryan and I took a road trip.

It was my first time crossing the border near Ottawa and I never realized how close it was! Such an easy drive! Unfortunately, the simple 6 hour drive there took 8 because of snow and traffic. A stop at the Olive Garden (Canada totally needs one!) for supper and another 7 hours to drive home our mission was complete and the groomsmen gifts are now done!

I can’t wait to show you all what it is someday soon and I hope the guys all like it too!

How was your weekend?

  3. headed to a shower for Amanda

    Ok I read that and so thought you were basically saying she wanted you to take a shower b/c you smelled or something. I need a nap!

  6. Right now it looks like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform
    out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

  7. Hey there. I noticed your site title, "Blogger: Small Town Kind of Life" doesn't really reflect the content of your site. When writing your blog title, do you believe it's most beneficial to write it for Search engine
    optimisation or for your readers? This is one thing
    I've been struggling with because I want great search rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for my site visitors.

  8. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
    or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd really appreciate it.

  9. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  11. Excellent site you have here but I was wondering if
    you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the
    same topics talked about here? I'd really love to be a part of online community where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Cheers!

  13. Exploring stumbleupon.com I noticed your web site bookmarked as: Blogger:
    Small Town Kind of Life. I'm assuming you book-marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social bookmarking gets you a ton of targeted traffic? I've been contemplating doing some bookmarking for a few of my sites but wasn't sure if it would produce any positive results. Thank you.

  14. I am really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any
    web browser compatibility problems? A couple of
    my blog audience have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
    Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?
