Monday April 20
A typical monday at work. Tons of reports! Bosses were leaving at 3pm today, walking warehouses in the West. This translates to PARTY TIME at work! YAY!
Tuesday Apil 21
First day at work without bosses. All the department staff were relaxed. They work more efficiently when the bosses are not around.
Wednesday April 22
After two years careful and thorough decision, I have decided to become an Independent Demonstrator with Gold Canyon.
I was approached by Nicole (the then demonstrator now gold manager with Gold Canyon) right after host my second Partylite party! I was skeptical at that point. A. I have never heard of Gold Canyon, and B. I had tons of free gifts from Partylite just by being the host. I got some free tealights from Nicole but simply shuffed them aside without even bother to use them, as I was too much in love with Partylite at that time.
Joe has a bad nose, and often time when I lit up Partylite candles (tealight, votive, pillar or 3 wick, you name it, and I have it! That just shows you how crazy I got when I went through the Partylite phase.) and asked Joe if he liked the scent. His usual response was always,"What scent? I can't smell any!" I kept asking myself what was the point to continue use partylite products if my husband can't smell it?
With the decison of not hosting any more Partylite parties or puchasing any Partylite candles, my inventory had depleted throughout time. One day, about 1 1/2 yrs ago, I lit my very first Gold Canyon candle. It was a Sweet Pea tealight. When Joe came into the kitchen, all he said,"What smells so nice?" HE COULD SMELL THE CANDLE FINALLY! No words could describe how surprised I was. Right after that, I started looking into the Gold Canyon catagloue, and ordered a few items (tealight, votive, jar candles) to try out the fragrances. Joe particularly likes Cozy Cabin, and I have developed a strong attached to Sweet Pea.
So fast foward back to the week of April 20, Nicole had asked me a few times to join the Gold Caynon team again. I thought about it. With the baby on her way, a few friends suggested that I wait till the baby is older as I will be swamped with taking care about the baby. I gave it a bit more thought. I am a person-on-the go. I would rather that super busy then to lay low or have nothing to do for a day. By being an independent demonstrator, it will keep me busy during my 1-year maternity leave and have something exciting and challenging (well, besides looking after Baby B) to look forward to! Joe has been very supportive about my decision. He has given me a few good ideas how to get started. He has also suggested a few ideas on my debut party.
So, here I am... a new independent demonstrator with Gold Canyon!

Thursday April 22
I made invitations to my debut gold canyon party last night and we went out and delivered each invitations tonight. We had 9 invites to give out, and since they are all in Barrhaven. We figured we could get it done in an hour and still had time to stop by at Dairy Queen for an icecream. Our first stop was a no-answer, and we just dropped off the invite in the mailbox. The second stop took us about 30 mins as we ended up chatting a bit. (BTW, all the guests are the wives of the Knights), and everyone is excited to see that I am showing and they all asked if we know the baby will be a girl or a boy! The third stop is the house of the baby's godparents. We eneded up staying for an hour or so. They have a little doggie called Daisy (a yorkie and bischon frise mix) and she is a ball of energy. She is so cute that I think it is a good idea to arrange a playdate between Bee Bee and Daisy! Annette got me another gift, A Mommy Journal!
By the time we left their house, it was shortly past 9pm, and I was getting tired that we called it a night and went home without stopping at Dairy Queen.
Friday April 23
I went to the first Barrhaven GTG (get together) organized by a webber on Weddingbells.ca. A bunch of us started a thread about two weeks ago and was surprised that there are a bunch of us gals living in Barrhaven. So we decided to get together and had a fun night out. We went to Boston Pizza (all the hubbies were left behind at home :-) ) and it was a great night to chat away. By the end of the night, I was invited to a Scrapbooking Party on May 9, and I am also organizing a second Gold Canyon Party!
Joe is usually the one on-the-go in our house. He has far more meetings than I do. In an average week, he is usually out two to three nights, and I am always at home, with Bee Bee and the computer. Tonight, it seems like the table has finally turned. I was out and about, while he stayed home with Bee Bee. It feels strange! :-)
Saturday April 24
We went and delivered the rest of the invites and managed to stop and chat a bit with the guests, or their hubbies. Weather was so nice that it felt like summer.
We had an apartment showing at 11:30am, and we drove all the way to my condo apartment. This was the second showing we did and I hope we will know by the end of next week who the new tenant(s) will be! I hate this waiting game.
We then stopped by at Costco for some gardening. I bought a Sage plant... I love preannial as they come back every year. I love gardening work but at the same time, I do not want to be slaved into the garden. We also bought a few bags of fish compost, as Joe said that are good for the lawn.

I went shopping at Thyme Maternity in the late afternoon. I noticed that with the weather changing, I am not prepared for the summer. One, I have zero maternity shorts and I wonder how I will surivive the summer with my growing tummy. I bought a skirt, a pair of shorts and two nice floral tops. With the tops that my mom made for me, I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will have enough clothes to last me through this pregnancy.
Sunday April 25
Church in the morning.
We then went for an hour walk (we did 3.9K) with the Barrhaven Walking Group. We joined last June and had been out a few times prior to Joe's and my surgery last year. We are glad to find out that the walking group is starting up again. It was a great workout and I had a great afternoon nap when we came home! When I woke up from my nap, I felt the baby kicked!
Joe is a big friend of sunday beef roast. Knowing that with the sunday mass and the walking group, I would have have enough time to prepare a decent meal, so I figured the beef roast would be a good option for a hearty meal. By the time I got up from my nap, the beef roast was ready! Thanks to the invention of slower cookers!
