MOMENTARY LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT

our kids deliver flyers for our neighbourhood. last week a notice came out that there was some other routes needing carriers...........we thought it might be a great way to save for a family vacation. we offered to do all the routes this weekend to "try it out". 12 routes.........1140 flyers!
that works out to 2.5 hours of three people rolling the flyers, one bagging the flyers, and one cooking supper, then helping roll. also equals one blister on my thumb from repetative elastic twists, and a damages pointer cuticle with added hangnail from all the papers.
it then worked out to 7 hours of delivering flyers to many different neighbourhoods in strathmore!
yes we did get our quota of exercise this weekend...........but really is it worth it?? NO!

in other news this weekend, jason and i spent the night at the Kinsington in, a late celebration for our anniversary. the room was nice, but the hotel was hosting it's first wedding. don't think they will do another one.
the highlight for us, as our window looked onto the terrace where all the festivities were going on, was when a fist fight broke out amongst the modest 40 guest wedding celebration!!

all in all a weekend to give us something to talk about!
