What’s Up Wednesday

 Linking up with Shay for the monthly recap of “What’s Up Wednesday”. I love doing these recaps and sometimes I look back at the same month in years past to see how things have changed and what has stayed the same. 

What we’re eating this week…

Dave and I are away this week so lots of dinners out.

What I’m reminiscing about…

The last time we were in Vancouver.  E was about 10 months old and we tagged along on a work trip with Dave. We did the Grouse Grind with Dave carrying E on his back.

What I’m loving…

I think I can finally say the weather (?). Our warm sunny weather has been slow to arrive, but the other day I watched an evening baseball game in shorts and a t-shirt, only needing a sweatshirt to bike home, so perhaps our wait is over!

What we’ve been up to…

Watching baseball. We watch Q play baseball, we watch the Blue Jays on TV pretty much every night, and sometimes in person.

What I’m working on…

I’ve been at my new job for a month now and I’m still learning lots of things each day. There are many moving parts and players for me to get familiar with. 

What I’m excited about…

Helping Q pick out another walk up song for his house league team. He has one for the rep team, which he picked out with little interference from me, but maybe I’ll have more of an influence this time. Or he will just pick the same one, which I guess is fine, haha, I’m partial to the intro to Back that Azz Up or Bring Em Out by T.I. The lyrics aren’t suitable for kids, but the first parts of the songs work.

What I’m watching/reading…

As noted above, baseball! But also Landman, Rivals, and Friends and Neighbours. I also watched a few Netflix documentaries - The Crash, Should I Marry a Murderer, and the one about Moriah Wilson. 

I’m slowly reading a Jill Santopolo book. I want to pick up Carley Fortune’s new book soon. 

What I’m listening to…

Since I’m not spending as much time walking to and from the subway, I am falling behind on my podcasts! I used to try to go back and listen to all back episodes, particularly for The Bridge, but I’m giving myself and break and just listening when I can. 

What I’m wearing…

I posted last week of some new clothes I got. They are all great additions to my wardrobe.

What I’m doing this weekend…

We are away in Whistler for a few days so this week. Some golf, a massage, a hike or two, and some dinners are on the schedule. 

What I’m looking forward to next month…

June is my favourite month. It’s my birthday month for one thing, but also the weather starts getting good, there are some golf events, school events, a work trip, and two baseball tournaments. 

What else is new…

I got a new phone. It is an iPhone 17 and although I have put a screen protector on it, I don’t want to get a case, which I know is crazy.  I had taken the case off my old phone a few weeks ago because it was broken (the case, not the phone) and I kind of like the no case look and feel. I mean, I have smashed phones before so I’m not the best candidate for no case, so I’ll Pinango get one at some point.
