I hope you’re having a great week and I so hope you are loving all of our posts… I think they are so amazing ifidosaysomyself LOL

We are all in Montreal again.. we helped settle my father into the rehabilitation facility for his hip AGAIN.. and therapy has begun AGAIN.. it seems like he is recovering at a more rapid pace this time but his mindset is still quite negative so it is VERY tough..  but we are plowing through it hoping things will get better.  Meanwhile we are enjoying the city .. actually showing the kidlets where we are from.. from our old houses where we lived to restaurants we went to as kids to McGill University where I graduated from.. going for walks and of course ending almost every night with this..  please note MAJOR DIET STARTS in AUGUST LOL.

Ryan discovered this ice cream place called “LA DIPERIE”… omg the concept of this place is that you order vanilla soft serve, then they have 30 hot dips to dip the vanilla into… dips like coffee crisp.. dulce de leche.. oreo cookie, banana, … AND THEN.. wait for it… wait for it… they dip THAT into any TOPPING you want.. like oreos.. coffee crisp.. hazelnuts.. fleur de sel.. lavender.. smarties.. you name it.. is that INSANE OR WHAT?

Here’s Tyler with his OREO dip and OREO TOPPING

Here’s Jayden with her COOKIE DOUGH dip and OREO TOPPING.  I CANNOT EVEN…

we also tried to teach the kids about the Montreal “joie de vivre”.. just the feeling I used to have growing up… We randomly walked into this restaurant and found Ryan’s oldest friend and his family.. we pulled tables together, drinks flowing.. laughing.. reminiscing.. it was just the therapy and nostalgia I needed.. We then went to St. Viateur bagel at 11:30 PM.. a Montreal institution.. and couldn’t help MAWING (it’s my word for shoving down my throat) the FRESH HOT WOOD BURNING OVEN BAGELS …. sooooo good.  If you ever have a chance to visit Montreal you HAVE to go to St. Viateur.  Promise?  k

Hiya sistahs!

Hope you are having a great week!  Well, things have taken a downwards turn over here.  hmph.  My father was in tremendous pain in his leg/hip area and after being x-rayed and ct-scanned,  they realized that the hardware that they put in him was defective/deteriorated and is rubbing against the bone. SO back to square one.  He is back in the hospital awaiting SURGERY #2 to replace the hardware with a new “system”.  It’s AWFUL sistahs.. first of all that I cannot be there until next week.. and second that he has to go through this whole Shlemazel all over again.  Oh well.. it could be worse, right?  We have to keep a positive attitude and keep strong.

Now for this week’s bellarific Friday our theme was to use your FAVORITE embellishment.. I can’t even count how many favorite embellishments I have .. If I could only show you a snippet of my basement and all my collections.. (#tooembarassed)

We have a GUEST DESIGNER for our Bellarific Fridays for June.. we have CARLA MURPHY! aka CARLABELLA.. remember her?  We all loved Carlabella so much.. then she decided to take a break.. hmph.  But now she’s back.. YIPPEE!!  You can take a looky at her blog HERE

Our baberoonis not only have the embellishment challenge but they also have to mix it with our STAMP OF THE MONTH which is I’LL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK STUFFIES.. one of my favorite stamps EVAH.  Every first Bellarific Friday of the month, our babes work to inspire you on how to use our stamp of the month.. brilliant no?  me thinks yes!

Ok enough blabla

Here we go!

and its a DOOZY.  What a week.  We were in Montreal for the long weekend last weekend.. my father is doing a bit better.. and the convincing of him moving to Toronto seems to be working.  There’s still tomorrow for minds to be changed LOL.  Now after coming back from the long weekend we noticed that one of are cats was really not doing well.. not eating.. lying down .. lethargic.. no sparkle in his eye.. not eating.. not drinking.. it was horrible.  He is now in the animal hospital being hydrated.. he may have pancreatitis.. and I CAN”T EVEN discuss what the cost has been so far.  Phooey.  Blech.  Terrible.. the money hurts but seeing poor Jasper being “lumpy” was a bit worse.  hmph.
