Style at Home Show

Okay Ladies, if your are in the GTA and love design you won't want to miss the Style at Home Show this weekend at the Direct Energy Center. This is the first show and I hope it is not the last. The ID Show is more of an up and coming show, often with items that the everyday person can't afford. The S@H show has great stuff like designer Lynn Spence showing you how to decorate using HomeSense (Designer store with everyday prices), High/Low shopping - where to splurge and were to pinch, Hosting great parties, and holiday menus. I subscribe to this magazine and can't wait to see what the first show they hold brings. Thanks Kenrick for getting me the tickets.

After the design show we are meeting Kenrick's sister and a friend for dinner at HotHouse before we all go to the Madonna concert.

Sunday was supposed to be a day to finish the storage room but Kenrick won tickets and a bus ride to Buffalo to see the Bills (his favorite football team). So once again we are off and running about.

At least tonight will be quiet. We will be stocking the storage room and cleaning the basement. You know you're getting old when these are the kinds of activities you look forward to on a Friday night :)

The side cleats are up and the room is now primed and painted. Thankfully dad was there to help with the shelves. The post from the builder was not straight and in turn made our side supports crooked. Lesson learnt, always measure - never assume. Dad had to trim each shelf on all sides to make it fit. Tonight we will put the shelves in, vacuum and lay the carpet (which by the way fit the room exactly!) and begin to organize the items. Hopefully we can get to the rest of the basement soon. And yes I said vacuum, what you've never vacuumed concrete basement floors before? LOL

Quilt update

I worked pretty hard Friday night and all day Sunday and was able to complete the back of the quilt, piece the quilt top, bottom and batting together, and get the major quilt lines done. This weeks task will be to finish quilting and sew the binding on. I might just get this done! I don't have a picture of the project right now. Maybe I can take one tonight.

On a side note - The Janet Jackson concert was great. Kenrick came along with me and 4 other girls. He's so great to spend the whole evening out with us girls and still have a good time. Boy am I ever lucky to have such a great husband. Thanks Kenrick for getting us the tickets.

Concerts

Just a quick addition to the post below. Last Thursday I went with my little cousin to the New Kids on the Block concert. She got free tickets at work and called to see if I wanted to go. She was only 6 when they came around the first time but she remembered that I liked them alot and thought to call me to go to the concert with her. It was a great time. I was very surprised to remember all of the words and some of the dance moves. The guys looked and sounded great. I was very impressed to see them still doing all of there old dance routines. They looked like they were having a great time. I'm really glad I got to go relive my youth. Thanks Laura. I didn't get any great photos from the concert, but I was able to find a new picture that shows what the guys look like now.

Lucky me, this Sunday holds another concert for me, Janet Jackson. As you can see my choice of music is very widespread. In a few weeks I'm also going to the Madonna concert. Both shows should be very entertaining. I'm so excited.
