Happy Weekend!

Thank goodness it's Friday!  It has been a long week over at Casa de Joon and Larissa, and I am very happy it is the weekend! We are both exhausted and counting down the days to our tropical vacation, but until then, this is on our weekend to do list:

I wish we could head out to the mountains to hike and enjoy this early spring weather we will be having (shh, it is rumored to get up to 15C!)
















I am also hoping to get to the farmers market and pick up some fresh local produce... I love the farmers market! Unfortunately, the Currie Barracks Market will only be open until the end of this summer, and then the building is being bulldozed for urban development.  Cookie cutter houses, Super Walmarts, Superstores, and other big box stores to support the brand new community. :( Here's hoping they find a new location soon!














A walk with the puppy- Ms. Bella has been cooped up for the past week and a half as she recovers from a butcher job cut on her face from the groomers.  She has not been a happy camper with her head cone, twice a day pills that I trick her into eating with peanut butter, and ointment on her poor cut.  She is a little devil however, as she has discovered the pill in her peanuty butter treat, and has started spitting out the pill after eating all the pb goodness! She also hides as far under the coffee table as soon as she hears the pill bottle shake, and the Q-Tip get pulled from the cabinet!

Shopping!  I am heading to the mall to pick a few little items for the Dominican, a refresher if you will into my beach vacay wardrobe!  I am looking for dresses, bathing suits, bermuda shorts, and anything else that screams BEACH VACATION, TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!  Wish me luck!

Unfortunately, Joon will be working all Saturday, only 19 more days left and then you will be free!!!

Have a happy fun filled weekend!

The countdown is on...

28 days and counting until I am here:

Sipping my favorite carribean drink, the "BBC" (equal parts banana, baileys, and coconut cream or pina coloda mix)










Getting one of these hopefully on the beach:








As well as one of these:






Relaxing with my favorite person in the world:








(pretend that is Joon and I... I will insert the real deal once it happens!)

Even though we have had a VERY mild winter this year, with not a lot of cold temperatures or snow, I am more than ready to say sayanora to the need for boots, coats, and mittens and hello to bathing suits, flip flops, sundresses, and sunscreen!!!
