.Movie Night.

Hey, Hey Book Club Lovers!
This one is for you....or anyone wanting to go see one hell of a good looking new movie:
Water for Elephants
It hits theatres April 22nd, but I'm thinking we should all get our little bums together for a Book Club Date on April 28th (it's a thursday if you were about to ask) at the Scotia Bank theatre (west ed mall).
Whatcha think? Good idea? Ya, I thought so too.
So message me below if you wanna go. Everyone's welcome to join!
K, that's all. 
p.s. I'm So Freaking Excited for this movie.

.Lazy.

Hello Friends! Are you as Happy as I am that it's FRIDAY!!!
So that being said, I am takin er' easy and enjoying every minute of not having to really do anything.
So when I feel like it, I do have a couple of items that could be done this weekend:
(notice the phrase, could)

1) New table and chairs got delivered today! Yippee!! Time to set them up!
2) Also got a little delivery via the FedEx guy. New Kitchen Lights! But that's Hubby's job, ha.
3) Re-working the design on my little blog here, made some changes already. Whatcha think??
4) Cheering the husband on during Hockey playoff's. Maybe I'll sport some pom-pom's.
5) Clean house. This actually NEEDS to get done.
6) Planning our Easter dinner.....yep, we're looney-toons and hosting 18 peeps at our house this year, but more to come on that later.
7) Yard work, yard work, yard work. In preparation for our new Hot Tub delivery coming in a couple of weeks. Ohh, did I forget mention that we got ourselves a little beauty of a Hot Tub?? 
Ohh we did.
8) Catching up on some Book Club Reading (and a special shout out to Bradley B for some new suggestions! Stay tuned!)
9) An over-due Brunch date with some very lovely people. 
10) Trying out some recipes in our new Smoker.....this will also be hubby's job to cook, and I will work on the sampling part.

And I just want to leave you with a gorgeous pick-me-up that I got today. 
Some Gardenia's. 
You are my most Favorit-est of all. And you smell of Heaven.
xx

.so true.


Those Swed's really got it right.

.I want, Yes Please.

The hubby is away playing some hockey.
I am at home, and feel like shopping...sadly the stores closed 17 minutes ago (I can see husband reading this and privately thanking the powers that be). 
So I am going to do a little online browsing. See honey - I said 'browsing', not buying. YET.
Wanna see what I'm after?

I Must have this dress. I WILL have this dress. Easter best??
Maybe these earrings to go with it?
Aren't these the perfect casual sandal?
Need this bathing suit for our new Purchase. Utterly cute right?
NEED these curtains for my Bonus room. x 4 panels please.
Being that I'm from Alberta, I may need these fabulous rubbers. Hunters in Classic black.
These would pretty much go with any outfit.
Well, there you have it. A few wants for the spring season.
Maybe if I'm a good girl......

.Progress.

I thought that I'd share something funny with you today.
Or at least I think it's funny, which sometimes means it's really not funny at all. See I think I'm pretty funny most of the time, and well Husband begs to differ. So maybe this isn't funny, but either way here it is. Sorry, I digress.....
So Sunday, Hubby and I decided that we needed to take our Bella out for a long walk. It's been ages (we're such bad parents) and the poor girl was just begging to head to the park to sniff all the new spring smells. You know, rotting wood and dead animals, molding leaves, and a few large piles of doggie doo-doo all that were buried under the snow that is now melting. Yum.
So anyways, we put on her leash and off we go. I also thought, 'what a great opportunity to practice snapping a couple pics', so along comes the camera (seems almost like a child to me at this point).
Happy little family. Peter, Bella, Camera, and I.
The walk was beautiful. The fresh air was refreshing, and I'm happy as can be shooting away.
Well, it seems I have a little still to learn (now this is where is gets funny). So here I am, taking a million pictures, thinking 'Wow Erinn, you really got the hang of this photography thing' then, after declaring out loud to Husband and Dog, "I think that about wraps it up. We can head in now, I definitely GOT it", we tread back to the house.
Well, here's what I 'Got'.


Ouch.
For starters, maybe I should remember to change the ISO when I go outside. Just maybe.
Ohh and it doesn't get much better...check out me using photoshop for the first time! Urgh.
I am in NEED of some serious help.
Like.....Serious, Serious HELP.
