Gobble Gobble it up!

I have come to the conclusion that my apartment is too small to house 6 people for a weekend. This weekend Stuarts old friends from highschool and from London came and stayed with us and we had a blast, but the limited mobility around the 2 inflated air mattresses and various luggage, made it hard to eat and ....do anything really. The result? broken chairs, beer everywhere (rug and couch) and filthy everything.

It's that time again- The Markham Fair! I can't believe I have had a blog for over a year now. And I am actually sticking with it! I love fairs, but it is so easy to drop $100.00 bucks without even blinking an eye. I won my sister the stuffed black lab puppy she had been eyeing (despite our men's best efforts) and Stuart managed to win me the purple monster I had been pining after. He won it by squirting his gun in the hole and winning the race. Get you minds out of the gutter!

The funny thing about the things you win at the fair is that at the time you want them so badly, but when you get them home, you can only think of how to get it out of the public eye. What box can this go in? Now I have a purple monster sitting on my book shelf. Not exactly a designers dream.

Speaking of designers. This weekend my friend Kelsey and I did the Colin & Justins Home Heist tour through Toronto and Etobiko. We saw about 11 completely fabulously designed houses and got to meet Colin and Justin- who are equally fabulous and total Divas. They signed our books (you get them if you do the tour and the proceeds go to the Cancer Society.

I am going to attempt to cook a turkey in light of Thanksgiving. That's right. I have been assured it is not difficult if you take the simple route ie. (boxed stuffing, canned cranberries and gravy). So if I don't come home with many leftovers, I will rouse the Martha Stewart that is dormant inside me, and COOK!
The bathroom is the warmest place in my office. Maybe it is the way the ventilation system is set up, but I swear when I am sitting at my desk, I am freezing but the second I take a pee break I am toasty warm. I wonder if my coworkers would get suspicious if I started bringing paper work into the bathroom.

With the Canadian dollar so high, I suggest everyone start buying more on Ebay. This is good advice.

That is all the random stuff I can think to write. Bye for now,...
