WITH EYES WIDE OPEN

It`s 2:08 A.M.

Can not sleep.

Why ?

Had dinner over at friends`house and SURPRISE- drank too much coffee.

And to make matters worse, I gotta leave early tomorrow morning with Pierrre and the kids .

We`re going in the woods.

Can`t get enough of it.

Gotta sleep, gotta sleep.

Darn, I shouldn`t have read that friggin`good book of mine.

It`s not helping.

I keep thinking about it over and over in my head while I toss and turn.

I`d give you the title but it`s sooo long and I`m just too lazy to write it.

It`s Marc Levy`s latest one and yes I do read French books .

Only in the summer though.

Then I keep thinking of my quitting smoking date which is coming up and am panicking( it`ll be so hard ).

I`m thinking of my birthday that`s just around the corner ( did I say I hate my birthday?-always have ).

I`m thinking about my blood donation ( I have the rare bloodtype so it`s important that I give) and think ofall the people I saved today by doing so. And yes I have patted myself on the back for doing it.

I`m not just cute, I care too.

I`m thinking of my Master`s degree at university and that makes me soooo happy.

Which is not helping when you`re trying to doze off AND YOU`RE JUST LYING THERE GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR....

I`m thinking of all my flowers outside - they are so fantastic this year.

Do you think the rain has anything to do with it ?

Don`t answer, it was a rhetorical question.

2:17 A.M

Still not sleeping, but still typing.

I gotta show you some of the pictures from my last escapade in the woods with my gals.

I say SOME because my sister has NOT sent me hers YET.

Neither has Lyne hmmmmm.

But Kat has and they are FAB-YOU-LOUS darling.

Here they are.

Thanks to my husband, we were able to fit everything in one car.
What you see in our expression on the picture is the following question : " Now, will we be able to all that again before we come back ? We`re not taking any chances, let`s take a pic of the final product. "




The Colibris : Réserve Mastigouche - The LOVE SHACK




View we had.
View inside : reading with flashlights before snoozing.

The Love Shack : no electricity, no running water and yes folks, no WC`s but a backhouse.
For some girls, it was quite an experience and I`m NOT talking about the blogger here.
THE VIEW AKA : my new wallpaper.

I used to have a jigsaw puzzle of this when I was a kid, I swear.....

Bottom: took a stroll in the woods with Kat : NEVER told me she was terrified of coming across a BEAR.

Never even crosssed my mind.

If I were a bear, I`d be afraid of crossing MY path singing and sweating like an idiot with NO make-up on!

Never told me she was taking pictures of me jogging and singing to Fergie either.

AAAAAAH, Kat is still wondering how she survived this nature adventure so far........

Alright, it`s 2:49 AM.

I`m heading downstairs to warm up a glass of milk.

Always works.

I`ll be back shortly with more pics and anecdotes when I can think straight.

My kids went to bed very late because of that dinner, so did I .

It`ll be very nice tomorrow in the woods : 2 cranky kids and one even crankier Mom.

Pierre is gonna loooove his nature day.

Tata,

Annie xx

PS : I have so not proofread this entry ,so any mistakes , sue me.
