Great Weekend and Great Food

Had a wonderful weekend, even though I cranked out 20 pages of glorious essayness..... but still had an awesome weekend. Got school off of my mind for the most part at night FINALLY. My Mom went to Toronto to see a play with her boyfriend on Saturday, so she was in a good mood too.

So kinda big news... my Mom is moving! Now that I am moving out in a few months she said it was finally time for her to move. So she is building this pimp house about 5 minutes away from my house where I live now. I guess this house is just getting too big and too much for her to take care of now that my Dad is gone. We got rid of the pool last year, which got rid of a lot of headaches, but I guess other stuff is "bothering" her as well.

I don't know how I feel about her moving. I mean this house has so many memories of my Dad... So I don't really want to leave them just yet.

Anyways to get my house ready to sell my Mom's boyfriend who is a contractor has been painting our house this entire past week (well my Mom "ordered" him too hahaha). I don't see why he really has to, my Mom is SOOOO OCD about keeping things cleaned etc that the walls, rugs, and just everything is basically looking brand new still.

My Mom confuses/baffles/surprises/stuns me all of the time with things like that.

ANYWAYS...
