What we're eating this week...
Nothing too complicated. We went out to Queen Margherita Pizza on Sunday night. I made macaroni and cheese with cauliflower on Monday and we ate it again on Tuesday. We have leftover Sloppy Joes for tonight. We will have guests on Thursday so we will make steak and caesar salad. On Friday night we'll be at the airport!
What I'm reminiscing about...
Our trip to New York that we took in 2013. A couple of friends have just gone there or are going there soon so I've been talking about New York food and attractions lately.
What I'm loving...
My new iPhone. I don't always have the newest thing, but I am happy I went with the new iPhone and it conveniently was released right when my old contract expired.
What we've been up to...
Shopping for last minute trip things, doing laundry, making lists, charging the camera battery, planning our clothes, and checking the weather for Barcelona.
What I'm dreading...
The last couple of days of work before going on vacation. Trying to get everything done, letting clients know I will be away, and filling in co-workers about certain files so they can cover me if something urgent comes up.
What I'm working on...
Getting ready for our trip, planning E's birthday party, and also thinking about Halloween costumes and pumpkin ideas. E wants to be Rubble from Paw Patrol. Not sure if we can find an actual Rubble costume, or if we can find a construction worker costume and then add ears and a tail. Halloween is not my strong suit.
What I'm excited about...
Our trip to Barcelona. We leave on Friday night. We haven't gone on a big trip since we went to Peru in 2012, and E has never been to Europe, so it should be great!
(I'm hoping this will be what E looks like on the plane)
What I'm watching/reading...
We are watching a lot of Blue Jays games. This is a pretty exciting time in Toronto. The Jays haven't made the playoffs since 1993 (when they one their second World Series in a row). People are pumped and so are we. The Affair is back on TV, Walking Dead will be back soon, and we still have some episodes of Narcos to watch.
I finished our last book club selection, Any Known Blood. I also bought a few chick lit books to take with me on vacation.
What I'm listening to...
I found a new playlist on Songza that I like - '00 Rap and R and B Pool Party. Also, who else is loving Justin Bieber?! I kind of gave up on him but now I'm loving his music, well played Biebs.
What I'm wearing...
Still wearing some summer clothes. It isn't as hot but it isn't exactly fall weather either. It's still pretty warm in Barcelona, but probably when we get back it will be time for jeans, leggings, sweaters and boots.
What I'm doing this weekend...
Flying to Barcelona, arriving there around noon on Saturday. Barcelona FC is playing Seville that day. I'm not a big soccer fan, but we are hoping to watch the game at a sports bar near where we are staying. On Sunday we are going to try out the Hop On/Hop Off bus tour. We have done this in London and Vancouver and find it is great way to be introduced to a city.
What I'm looking forward to next month...
Our trip, E's birthday, Amanda Lindhout, and Halloween.
What else is new...
What's your favourite Halloween tradition?
As I said above Halloween is not a strength of mine. I have never been very good at planning a costume and although I do like to dress us, it is usually something I've thrown together in the days before Halloween. I have a feeling poor E will suffer because of this; mostly I have just bought him a cheap costume from the grocery store. However the past two years I have carved a pretty good pumpkin, so I'd like to keep this up.
Two years ago, Thomas.
Last year, Mockingjay

CANNOT WAIT for the The Affair to return :) Also LOVE your Jack-O-Lanterns!
