What's Up Wednesday

 

I didn't get around to posting this yesterday but never like to miss a "What's Up Wednesday" post. 

What we're eating this week...

Sunday - Steak, Boiled Potatoes, and Green Beans

Monday - Tacos

Tuesday - Pasta

Wednesday - Fish Sticks and Sweet Potatoes

Thursday-Saturday - Your guess is as good as mine!

What I'm reminiscing about...

Five years ago we were still in the early days of COVID lockdowns, not sure what was going on and when restrictions would be lifted.  But it was this time when we started venturing outside to get some more fresh air, staying mostly in our backyard or riding bikes in the parking lot.  What a time it was!

What I'm loving...

I bought these little shorts to go under dresses and skirts. They aren't shapewear but instead prevents chafing and provides a bit of protection when sitting on the subway.  They are so comfy and will help with walking around in the summer and when traveling.

What I'm dreading...

I love cherry blossom time at High Park, but I have to be there for about 8 hours this Saturday and again on Sunday and sometimes dealing with the crowds can be tiresome!  We will be taking the subway or our bikes for sure as we will never be able to find a parking spot.

What we've been up to...

Dave has been working on the lawn, as he does. We think we want to tackle the front yard landscaping this year.  We have never liked the big mound of dirt covered with lily of the valley.  We'd prefer to have more grass and a different area for plants.  We'll see what we can do with the space.

What I'm working on...

At work right now I am working on client contracts, preparation for the audit and risk committee, reviewing some insurance matters, and getting some equipment financing documents signed, among other things. 

What I'm excited about...

The election results with Mark Carney and the Liberals to form government.  Now it is a minority government but still a strong showing from where the Liberals were four months ago.  I will be watching keenly to see how this new government takes shapes and deals with Trump.  

What I'm watching/reading...

Hockey playoffs (Go Leafs!), The Studio, Amazing Race, and The Great British Baking Show. 

I'm reading a Genievieve Graham book now.  You can see my March and April book reviews here.

What I'm listening to...

I found a "Stress Release" playlist the other day to play.  It kind of sounds like what you'd hear while getting a massage, it's "gentle piano and ambient music" and it works well for when I need something to listen to while at work but am not in the mood for pop songs with words.

What I'm wearing...

Some new sneakers.  I finally settled on a pair of casual sneakers after looking for a long time.  I chose some Nike Air Max and Gamma Force.  Dave also got a couple of pairs of casual sneakers. 

What I'm doing this weekend...

It's High Park Little League Opening Day. Q has a ball hockey game and a t-ball game. It's Men's Opening Day at the golf club for Dave.  As well as a wine and cheese party to attend.

What I'm looking forward to next month...

Of course our trip to Paris! But also the start of t-ball season, a work trip, and a visit from my mom.

What else is new...

I joined the golf club as "Learn to Golf" member. Not that I need to learn to golf, but it's a very affordable way to join the club and get a few rounds in.   I'm hoping to get to a few ladies' nights this summer.
