What's Up Wednesday

 


What we're eating this week...
Sunday - Dinner out at the golf club
Monday - Chicken wraps
Tuesday - Lasagna
Wednesday - 
Thursday (camping begins) - Sausages and salad
Friday - Chili and nachos
Saturday - Pasta and garlic bread

What I'm reminiscing about...
I've been seeing lots of grad and prom pictures lately and I was reminiscing about my own prom night.  It was so fun to get dressed up with hair and makeup too.  A few of us went out for dinner and then we got rides up the school in antique cars.  Prom was a pretty big deal in my small town, lots of people came out to see us. 

What I'm loving...
Summertime in Downtown Toronto.  My office is right downtown and I've been taking advantage of getting outside at lunchtime.  My favourite place is back - the Union Summer Market.  I took in some feta fries and live music on its opening day.  I'll be back next week!



What we've been up to...
Running hither and yon - all of June seemed to be a blur during the week with sports, tutoring, golf, and meeting up with people.  I don't think we ate dinner as a family too many times in the last month.  Although we embraced it and liked being busy, a few of the things have now ended, and with E away for two weeks at camp, there will only be Q's sports to attend.

What I'm dreading...
It's not dread, just the momentous task of getting everything packed for camping.  All of the effort is worth it!

What I'm working on...
I've set two work projects for myself for the summer - organizing our signed NDAs and capital leases.  Fun stuff :) but usually things slow down a bit in the summer so I will take the opportunity to sort through these things. 

What I'm excited about...
The last day of school is tomorrow! Yes we go to the bitter end of June, but the first day isn't until after Labour Day, so it's a good trade off.  I wrote about the kids' years here and here. I get to do my favourite Instagram post tomorrow where I do a side by side of the kids' first and last days of school, I always love to see how they have grown. 

What I'm wearing...
These Zella shorts.  I have them in grey and black.  They are so light and comfy and I can bike in them too.  Highly recommend if you're near a Nordstrom.

What I'm watching/reading...
I'm watching Conversations with Friends on my own.  Dave and I are watching Bridgerton, For All Mankind, and Casual with Stranger Things and Only Murders in the Building on deck. 


I did my June book post on Monday. Now I'm reading Cloud Cuckoo Land and I immediately liked it, I'm about 180 pages in.

What I'm listening to...
Current Spotify playlists - Dopamine, Pop Goes Classical, Celine Dion Radio, and the Dawson's Creek Soundtrack #teampaceyforever

What I'm doing this weekend...
Camping at Algonquin

What I'm looking forward to next month...
Taking E to camp (and picking him up), golf, paddle boarding, bike rides, eating outside

What else is new...
The construction I mentioned in last month's post has finally come to the end of our driveway, blocking access for our cars.  Fortunately there are a few spare driveways we have been parking in so our cars aren't on the street.  Lord knows when they will actually finish this work, right now there are just several big holes. 

Resolutions Check in...
I finally donated my clothes and half of the toys, and I started carrying change with me on the subway, although I haven't had anyone ask me for money lately.  I've gotten together with some friends with more plans for next month.  I'm still mostly doing just cycling and strength classes on Peloton but I've tried some new instructors, so that counts!

Linking up with Shay.

  1. Packing for camp is hard! I'm happy because this year we are able to rent linens and towels and such so I'll only have to pack up clothes for Simon!

  2. I hope you have a wonderful time camping this weekend! Our June felt really busy too and I'm kind of surprised to see how quickly July is filling up too.

  3. Feta and fries!!!! Yum, my two favourites combined. I have never seen this before but it sounds delicious so I might have to make my own. That's a great idea to do side by side pics of your kids. I wish I had done that because they grow and change so much in just one year. Have fun on your camping trip!
