Two weeks with Jordan

Yes, that's right. I get Jordan all to myself for 2 wks. Well, almost. He might have to do the occasional minor league story or something, but for now there will be no going to the ballpark for him. The Blue Jays are on a road trip and will not return until the 26th. Yesterday, we did one of our favorite things and went to the movies to see the new Kate Hudson flic, The Skeleton Key. It was quite creepy, but I love a good scare at the movies.

I would like to apologize for not posting in quite a long time. Jordan was giving me crap about how I haven't been updating my blog regularly. Let me update you on what I have been doing:

While my parents were still here in Toronto we went to the beach. Afterwards we came home and then went to dinner at a place called Montanas. On the way home we stopped to take a look at the smart cars that they have here in Canada. They are only 8 feet long, get 60 mpg, and have changeable faceplates like a cell phone. They're really cute and are only two seaters.

We drove home on Sunday, but the ride didn't seem that bad. When we got home it was 104 degrees in Thornton so we decided to jump in the pool. I made sammy, my dog go swimming with me. He was not too happy. The rest of the time I was home he would run away from me if I was on the deck and head onto the porch. He normally would be laying on a lawn chair sunning himself, but he wanted nothing to do with me. I know I'm mean.

I visited with my Grandparents while I was home. I went over to my Aunt Torie's for a BBQ and to see my Aunt Sheila who was visiting from Alabama. We had the Sutton's over for a BBQ for my bro kev's b-day. Yes, I ate a lot of BBQ, but it was great b/c I dont' get any of that up here.

I hung out with my sis-in-law and her crew a few times. The kids are great and we had a great time in the pool one day. I sure got a work out carting them around in the water. They were like little leaches, but cute leaches. I loved their swimmy suits. They were the kind with the floatation device in them and it makes them look like lil football players. I got attacked by her heard of dogs on my way in and out of their house. It was really muddy there and the dogs would jump on me and by the time I got to the house all I could do was laugh because I was totally coated in mud.

It was fun to be with my family for the 2 wks, but it was great when I got home to see Jordan waiting up for me when we arrived. We got here really late and my bros and stephanie headed straight to their hotel.

The next day we went to the casino/horsetrack b/c kyle is 19 and you can gamble at 19 here in Canada. I had never been before either. We came back and hung out in our apartment while Jordan was at work. We ordered pizza and watched tv.

The next day Jordan got us free $65 tickets. We also got into the Press box and the Jumbo Tron room. It was great. It was so hot outside and we had to go up by the bar to cool off for awhile. After the game we went to Milestones for drinks and Jordans favorite Spinach artichoke dip. We saw two yankees there-Bernie Williams and Tino Martinez. Later that night we went to the movies and saw Wedding Crashers. My brothers headed home on Sunday and Jordan headed to work. I was pretty lonely. : (

Jordan and I might go to Toronto Island tomorrow to see what is out there. You have to take the ferry across to it so hopefully I won't get sick. I don't do very well on things like that. When we were in Cancun we took a ferry to the dolphin discovery and on the way back it was very choppy and I was making Jordan very nervous. Anyhoo, I hope the island is interesting. It would be great if we could rent bikes and ride around on the island. We'll see I'll let ya know.
