Well, let me see, where did we last leave off - it was a few weeks ago, and I was very excited about Wall*E. We did go see it, and had a great time - loads of fun, both of us running around saying "Wall-E..." and "Eve-a" for ages, and even contemplating buying the toys at WalMart, just because they were so much fun.

The next big one was, of course, The Dark Knight - fantastic movie!! Loved it, start to finish!! I can't stand spoilers, so I won't go into any detail, but if I may just say one thing - if you even think you *might* want to see it, do so!

In other news, my house is finally up for sale, sign on the lawn and everything. It was listed as of Tuesday morning, for what seems to me a rather obscene amount of money (relative to what we paid for it, anyway), and I got my first call from the listing agency on Wednesday that an agent would like to show the house that night from 6:30-7:30. I had been going to go see a movie with my sister that afternoon, but as I was on my way down the stairs I saw the two bags of garbage that needed to go out, and thought of all the vacuuming, mopping, tidying, etc that needed to be done before allowing anyone to see the house and put the movie off til Thursday. So I spent 5 hours playing Molly Maid, doing all the stuff that hasn't been done in ages, finishing with the cleaning of the bathroom, as it's nice and easy, doesn't take long, you know. However, since things seemed to be going smoothly at that point something had to go wrong, you just know it did. I decided to clean around my shower caddy, which, being rather old and well loved, promptly objected and fell to pieces. Literally. Dumped all the shampoo bottles, body wash, facial cleansers, body puffs, combs, razors, etc all over the bathroom floor. *sigh*

So, it was a quick trip off to Canadian Tire for a replacement, then home again - by now I had 45 min before the real estate agent was to show up, and was a little frantic. I finally get it together - I have to figure it out all over again every time I buy one of these things and I'm on about number 5 by now - got all the stuff on it like it was before, rinsed the tub again, tidied some more and thought, "To heck with this, I'm taking the dog for a walk." I got all my things - keys, iPod, leash, poo bags - got Honey ready to go, and just as we were walking out the door, my phone rings and it's the real estate office saying that the agent had cancelled the showing. I spent all that time, and they weren't coming...

Oh well, there was another one booked for Thursday, and three for Friday. At least everything I did isn't going to go to waste.

Bedtime for me, have a good night

I am sooo looking forward to this one! We're going to go to the latest show available on Saturday night in an attempt to avoid as many kiddies as possible.

I know I haven't blogged recently, but there's been a lot of things going on and not all of them are fun. My soon-to-be-ex has kicked into a higher gear in terms of getting his stuff together to list the house, so I've been busy doing things around the house - chief among them getting depressed at how much cleaning there is to do, and how I'm the only one doing it. There has also been the very difficult decision over the last six weeks or so to put down my thirteen year old cat, Booboo. She developed bladder issues and was making messes all over the house, and in the end it was decided that this was better for her.

There was some fun stuff - we went to the zoo a few weeks ago and had a lovely day - got a great sunburn which turned into a very nice start of a tan. I also got a new bluetooth to go with my phone, and I bought a collector's set of one of my favourite games. Yes, retail therapy is a good thing sometimes. Good thing I work too much, that way I can pay for it.

Anyway, I just thought I'd pop back in and say hi, let you all know I haven't fallen off the face of the planet.

My darling girl is in desperate need of a trim, so I had to give her a bath today and blow-dry her so that tomorrow I can give her a haircut. I thought you might like to see the "before" pics of my little afro-dog, and tomorrow I'll post the "after" pics.

After removing this much hair...

I was left with a skinny little puppy girl who is too cute for words...
