Counting down the minutes...

So Patrick has been gone for 12 960 minutes…and I miss him terribly :( I can't believe how lonely it can be to come home to an empty house - especially when I've been so used to having Patrick home all of the time. Thank goodness for Bella & Beau…the are a God-send. They are eager to great me and are great snuggle buddies when I need them.

On Sunday night I was able to get out of the house for awhile (and do something that didn't involve shopping…lol) - I went to my neighbour's (the one's with the bull dog named George) Bridal Shower! It was great fun…I ended up winning a couple of the games (my team one the toilet paper bride contest and I believe it or not, I also won "How Well Do You Know The Bride" - and I just met her in July! LOL…I had a few lucky guesses though ;).

The shower was in the evening - it began at 5:00pm - which was really nice. Her Mom Joanne put on a lovely spread of yummy appetizers…and of course wine - good thing I didn't have far to go (next door…lol). That is kind of the running joke whenever any of us neighbours get together "Are you sure you don't need a ride home?" …lol Good times…

Here is a link to some picture of the shower - I made the bow/ribbon hat - so proud ;p :

I also thought I'd share the link to Steph's Baby Shower pictures - the theme was carried out brilliantly thanks to A. Patricia, Emma & Ali - and Gail, and Karen and Meagan…everyone really pitched in and went with it ;)

I've also just received my first book for the blogger book club I'm participating. It is called "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen - anyone have a chance to read it?

Only 4320 minutes to go until Patrick is home...
