Weekend Recap

Well, I cannot complain about my weekend. It was both quiet and fun, and there is a new Wii game in the house: My Sims. So cute! Animal Crossing meets The Sims, seriously. I played a little bit yesterday, but I have the feeling it can get REALLY addicting. Especially because I remember how much I loved to play Estralandia (some kind of Lego like game, with blocks that looked like bricks, windows, doors, etc…) when I was a kid, and this is EXACTLY like it. I build my own little house yesterday, and I can remodel it… And, oh God, this is going to be fun.

On Saturday I cooked a honey/dijon turkey in the crock pot, and we had friends for dinner. We spent the evening watching a movie on HBO and then we played and laughed with Pictionary. I love that game! Sunday was quiet, John had his soccer game in the morning, I made lunch, we watched TV, I did laundry, etc. I passed out around 8:30 p.m. watching a movie upstairs while John followed the Bears game in the living room.

Sad news: Our neighbour died last Tuesday. She was an old lady we hardly ever saw or spoke to. She had cancer, we didn’t know that. Her son informed us of her passing away yesterday morning when John was leaving for his game. I cried, I don’t know why. Or maybe I do… It is sad that days, weeks, months go by and we don’t talk to people in our community. We could have talked more to this lady. She was sick, maybe we could have helped her some. Yet we people in modern society choose to stay in our own little bubble.

My thoughts are all scattered, and I have a baby to put in bed.

Friday’s Feast 161

Today’s Friday’s Feast, brought to you by Gerber.

Appetizer
What is your favorite type of art?
I would say graphic, as in paintings and photography. Because of the use of colour composition. I like to see the world through another person’s eyes/lens. And I do believe that graphic artists have an interesting soul.

Soup
When was the last time you got a free lunch (or breakfast or dinner)? Who paid for it?
Last Saturday at André’s. Thank you, Jenn!

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how emotional are you?
I try to keep my cool, without success. I have to say between 7 and 9. I am not too emotional, but I certainly am more emotional than the average person.

Main Course
Approximately how long do you spend each day responding to emails?
I am horrible at responding e-mails. It has to be something urgent for me to reply right away. I will say less than 10 minutes a day.

Dessert
To what temperature do you usually set your home’s thermostat?
I think it’s between 65 and 70 degrees.

Most excellent weblog!

A few months ago I noticed there is this explosion of life-improvement, self-improvement, earth-improvement weblogs. They keep them all together at LifeRemix, so I check them every day on my RSS feed reader. The posts I found interesting go directly to my Tumblr. It is certainly refreshing too see this new trend in the middle of so many political pundits and drama kings and queens. Not that I’m saying my weblog is all that, because it’s practically nothing, but you know what I mean.

A new weblog that caught my attention is Diethack. Why? Because I started eating healthy and exercising again. Weight issues are my karma, the price I have to pay for I don’t know what. And Diethack has tons of good advice, very well written articles on weight loss and self awareness, but most important demystification of the hundreds of dieting plans available for people like me.

Another link for my blogroll, and one I will check daily, more than once a day.
