Lucky 13

Ajay came home this weekend for Easter :)

I drove to Saint John on Thursday afternoon and picked him and all of his luggage for our trip and brought them back home. All in all it was about 7.5 hours of driving... and by the end of it, I was truly sleepy. However, it was fun to have our first road trip together... Ajay gives fairly decent car concerts! The best thing is that we share the same tastes in music, mostly ;)

Friday was spent chilling out, lunch with my parents and a birthday dinner for Wendy with friends.

Saturday was a true thriller, shopping... picking up the last of our necessary items for India, on a Saturday, before a holiday! It was insane... the traffic was gross, the lines at the cashiers were disgusting... and low and behold I continued the ongoing tradition of picking the wrong line EVERY time ;) It always starts out looking like the shortest, or quickest, but for one reason or another it turns out to be the one where they need a price check, or the scanner stops working, or their coupons aren't valid... truly frustrating. We made it home in one piece though, and spent a lovely night home with dinner, a couple of drinks and curled up on the couch with a movie (The Greatest Game Ever Played). We also shared some wonderful time practice packing our luggage... trying to work out the weights, and spreading the gifts amongst the all of the bags incase one gets lost on the way there. There was a lot of "discussion" around the allowable weights and sizes of the baggage permitted on the flights. Their website said one thing, and their reps in Toronto said another. It was great fun! But thankfully we worked through it together and came to an amicable resolve. :)



It's Sunday again, and the hours are pressing towards the time when Ajay has to board the bus back to Saint John. :( This time though, less than 2 weeks till he's back and we head to India.

What a nice weekend, overall. The dog looks as if he's planning on going with you. Have you broken the news to him, yet?

Sadly, we're keeping it a secret until we walk out the door on the 29th. :( He'll have lots of bones, treats and toys in the wake of it all though... and I'm sure that he'll enjoy the time with my mom.

Yeah. Treats help. My doggies' favorite treats are pigs ears, followed closely by helpless squeaky toys!

That's an awesome pic of Marsh! Adele does the same thing when I have a suitcase out. How does he fit with the weight restrictions? Hahaha! I'm sure he'll have a great time with your mom. I'd invite him over here but I think poor Adele and Neila would make a better snack for him than companions. :)
