Go BC GO!

So last night after isabelle got off work we drove an hour to St. Sauveur for some looking around and a bit of shopping. Though I one bought one shirt, i was content.

After we ate at an Italian resto, (of course, we do everytime)

Here we are on our way..

iza driving..
Just before dinner, it was so pretty with all the lights out.
Crappy picture but you have to be there to see all the beauty.. i didnt take much pictures. we werent there for very long.
Then after, Iza drove to a mall parking lot, because that is where I am learning how to drive standard.. its my 4th time and I can get from nothing to first gear now pretty good. Isabelle was so proud, she just kept saying it over and over again. it was pretty awesome.

My books have sent their confirmation on being sent so i should get them next week!!! exciting..

Today is the semi finals of the CFL. Today at 1pm.. (13h00) is British Columbia vs Montréal.. i know i live here in montréal, but im a BC girl all the way all the time. So my old neighbours.. but friends are coming over to watch on our flat screen.

But first iza and I are going to Jean Talon Market.

Check out the link.

ok, i go find some food.. Iza is still sleeping.

OHH!!! I painted the den and the long hall. and its done!! just another 2 hours of painting and this baby is all finished!!

MMM aspargus

well, dinner is done.. and we are doing our reading research. When i find things in french, I give that to Isabelle to read because i am on the english sites, and read that. I mean i can read french, but if i want a great understanding of the subject, ill give it to someone else or have it translated...

so here is tonights dinner.. i made pizza with the last of my marinating asparagus.


Night before, salad with bocconcini, and feta.. and the gravy all goodness with onions, soya sauce, and veggie broth.. so good.

There is my Isabelle mashing up the potatoes!!

I had a good talk with my oma. I feel a bit better.

I have been starting my book (that i have had for years) Vegetarian Pregnancy. I am starting to do my research. I have a couple books at my bedside, and cant wait for my Lesbian Pregnancy books to show up on my doorstep!

I feel better, not great, but im doing ok. i am just so tired, and had a headache for 3 days straight... please go away.

Today at work with my kids was fun, painting the sun and adding the leafs for our expo that the daycare is having next week. Our clouds are done. I just have to print off the pictures that I want to put up of the group doing the work. Today I got them to dance to Dolly Parton, and the best thing.. they know who elvis is.. when we go for a walk down this one street. All my kids know who it is... i say.. 'where is elvis' and they point to the big poster in the window.. haha.. amazing.

Ok, i go read in bed (try to with this headache)

mon opa, il est mort

I am sad

my opa is gone. part of me feels bad that i didnt get to see him before he died. and part of me still thinks ok with it, because i at least called 4 times a month. every sunday, at 11 am my time. for them 7 am. they always got up early. I spoke with my oma on sunday like i do all the time. we spoke about the H1N1 and if i wanted to get the shot or not. i said i didnt want to, and she is telling me all the reasons why that i need to. lol... and i ask how opa is right after that, and she said that he was good and watching tv on his chair. i can still just picture her looking at him, because i know where her phone is in her kitchen as she can see in the living room. its like im looking at it right now. its just weird. I want to go home, but i cant right now. Oma says i cannot, she wants to be alone just for a bit. i have to do what she asks.


other than that.. im trying to get out a bit. i decided to go to chapters and get a couple books, and a couple online... and that was ok when we were walking outside, then i get this stupid ass that wants us to sign those animal testing/abused animals desks outside. and says to me... hey, (after i didnt stop to sign) you know the sun is down.... yes fucker, i do. its dark out, and my eyes are all puffed up and bloodshot....because someone i love just died, and i decided to go out instead of resting at home.... and P.S.... i am vegetarian (you are probably not), i sign those every time i pass it, always... and my opa died.. so fuck you and your stupid words. think before you say something ashhole.

i got a great birth book 0-2 years, and today went back to get the pregnancy book (duh, i didnt do that first) and ordered a couple online.. the 3 am handbook and a couple lesbian pregnancy books.. that should come in 1-2 weeks. which i am so excited about... i got The Lesbian Parenting Book: a Guide to Creating Families and Raising Children, and The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians: How to Stay Sane and Care for Yourself From Pre-Concep book.. excited to read those.

i made a couple things, the pancakes that i made on sunday morning before i spoke with oma.



Gia eating my pasta... like actually eating it.. she always eats just my pasta... i have always other food for her but never wants it.. only pasta.. shes my little italian gatto.. aww.Me roller skating in the house before the pancakes, and before the oma call.
Gia in liliou's playpen
made a mushroom soup with some wild mushrooms and regular mushrooms.
and thats it. i went to work today, but only ended up staying until 2... i just couldnt stay.
so i just watch tv tonight, and let isabelle go to change her winter tires this evening.

my opa is gone.

my opa passed away this morning. like an hour after i spoke to my oma..

Coughing still, but always ready to make food!

The jean talon market... gotta love it!!
Liliou and I before we go to costco. I carried that cutie the whole time.
Here comes the food!!! C'est bon, ma belle soeur parle seulement en français.. alors, il faut que je parle en français.. So my french is getting great!

Ma belle soeur aime tellement dîner. S





I dont have pictures of dessert that happened later avec james et cindy.
watching the hockey game and laughing about stupid things.. lol

Id have to say that I am so happy to live here in montreal. And being canadian. I have a great family that accepts me for who i am and am free to get married. Easy for me to be pregnant and have equal rights.

I am watching bump on outtv, and quebec city was one of the first places to accept same sex marriages.

(QUEBEC, June 10, 2002 (LSN.ca) - Quebec gave legal status to homosexual "civil unions" on Friday, including equivalency of access to adoption and artificial insemination.)

Really how amazing is that.

I am now going to finish watching my bump program, après je vais faire Pancakes pour Iza et moi.

the menu..

Wow, trying to record a stupid answering machine message is TRÈS DIFFICILE. i speak in english and i speak it in french, and ive done it like 50 times.

i have made my dinner list for tomorrow night for isabelles sister and her bf with petite liliou.

On the menu

-My bruschetta with home made bread
