How was your weekend (or week), by the numbers?
erm. what were you doing touting the merits of a toyota suv?
I was hired. 🙂
*squee!* My face is on your blog! Totally made my morning…but I haven’t had coffee yet so. Yeah. LOL.
At any rate, I was happy to be a part of your weekend. Hope the week racks up some impressive numbers too!
Have to get you a bigger avi next time, Heather. Here’s to driving backwards…
Great weekend. Sounds like you nailed the Toyota event. Glad you went geocaching!
Thanks. Geocaching=Urban hiking with a purpose. Perfect for the Type A in me.
Did you pitch the Toyota with the custom hand-etched paint job featuring the names of the owner’s children?
I told that story to the Toyota head office guy and one of the cute Toronto boys. Their mouths were agape, especially when I told them when didn’t get it repainted. “That would cost $4000,” one said.
So glad you discovered geocaching! My family & I love it – mostly because we can’t think of stuff to do as a family, so we just find geocaches instead.
I think I’m in the category too.
Go Toyota and half-blinks!
I am winning a monster Tundra at the end of the Rockies season. You can see it during the games. It is on a high pedestal next to the score board.
Funny!
At least it’s baseball and not dependent on the Avalanche’s season…
Don’t know what geocaching is, but I think your husband owes you a couple of dozen more “You’re sexy” comments.
🙂
Just discovered your blog and very glad I did. We geocached in the uk but have yet to start in Canada. Very much on our ever expanding to do list!
I dream of geocaching in other countries. And welcome, Elyse. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Here goes my weekend in numbers:
1: Dropped the new fish on the counter
8: Complained it was too hot
6: Swatted and killed flies in my house
2: My hubby said I love you
10: Times I heard calls for mommy
1: Cat nap
4: Times of breaking up a fight over a toy
0: Thoughts of loneliness
2: Trips to PetSmart for the new fish
1: My kids pleading: “Save the fish, mom!”
That fish story has me spitting my tea out. My husband sees a lot of fish tanks for sale at garage sales. He never sees any fish for sale, however….
You are honestly living the dream!
oh my goodness – SUCH a cute idea… you don’t want to know the number of times I asked Saige to ‘leave her brother alone’ this week – I should just record myself and put it on loop.
found your blog via Top 25 Canadian Mom Blogs… how I haven’t found you sooner is beyond me.
you are ha-larious.
At least those numbers added up to hilarity!
