Hello again all. Gordo reporting in at the end of the weekend. We had a fun weekend! Carrie's parents came out on Saturday and took Carrie and I to Tony Roma's (THE place for ribs.) Ben tried some beer (just a wee drop on the end of my finger - no need to call CFS) and then made friends all over the bar area as we waited for our table. The food was delicious - even Bill's double starch side order (fries and mashed).
After dinner we all went back to our place (Carrie and I took a detour for McFlurries!) and watched The Incredibles. I had to go pass out about halfway through (3 pints is too much for lil ol Gordo). Finished watching it on Sunday - it's a really good movie! My favourite was Elastigirl. (Mmmmmm....Bendy).
We also spent part of today planning out a possible new kitchen from Ikea. We think we have something we like. If you want to see it in all of its 3D glory, go to www.ikea.ca and download their kitchen planner software (it's free - and free of viruses and adware). Then drop us an e-mail and we can e-mail you our plan. Fun! Of course, I can't buy anything without touching it first (that's how Carrie and I met) so this may necessitate a trip to Minneapolis to see the kitchen first-hand.
Carrie went to a stamping party today. She learned how with a minimal investment (minimal, my bum) she could create lots of cool stationery and scrapbook stuff with stamps. She STILL won't tell me how much she spent, but soon we will have stamps for the whole alphabet (UPPER and lower case) and another cute stamp collection (like a bug, a flower, some birthday stuff, etc.) I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!
Ben has started to clap. If you want to imagine what this looks like, dust your hands in the classic 'that takes care of that' gesture - speed it up so that your hands are out of control - then start hitting yourself in the mouth. YAY! Clappie-clappie.
Anyhoo - time to hit the sack. I'm trying to finish this book ("Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco) and I'm having a hard time due to the low IQ and attention span brought on by things like internet 'weblogs'. I'm almost at the end though - and then I can start a new book!
Talk to you all soon!

I know how much she spent. And I'm not telling.
And I think Edna Mole was way better than elastigirl. WAY better.
See you Friday, you big old blog!
Oops - but now that I see my comment in all it's glory I realize that her name is actually Edna Mode. As in fashion. In French. Aha.
