Welcome to July!

It's funny how a new month can just sneak up on you sometimes!!

Canada Day: I momentarily forgot why I never really liked Canada Day downtown, but 15 minutes of fighting crowds and standing in hot sun made me remember what i disliked! We did, however, venture back up to the Supreme Court to watch the fireworks! It was me and my 5 lawyer friends... so the location was very fitting! CRAZY!!

Good food: So in the past week I've had some pretty fantastic food, that I feel the need to tell everyone about... 1. If you're looking for good pizza, La Favorita on Preston has pizza and a beer for $10 at lunch times! 2. Truffle Treasures in the Glebe makes the most FANTASTIC gelato. Their Chili Chocolate makes the stuff from the other places pale in comparison! PLUS they give you a waffle cone... and it's not quite as pricey! 3. Baker's Street breakfast: I'm still drooling after almost a week... SO GOOD! Take a cinnamon bun, slice it in two, turn it into french toast, then throw a tonne of fruit on top. Add a whole carafe of coffee to the table and you've got a little piece of heaven! If you're ever in Westboro, DEFINITELY go... I'm pretty sure they serve it all day...

Mouse dirt: If anybody is having trouble with mice, I learned this weekend that mice like to eat soap. It was opening weekend at the Roberts-Whitfield cottage... much mouse dirt had to be cleaned up! After a meticulous fall clean-out of all things food from the cottage, we thought we'd be greeted by a mouse-dirt free environment. Unfortunately, we forgot to put away the bars of soap next to the sinks. They were nicely chewed! Fortunately, the cupboards were clean, but the countertops were disgusting!!

July 11-13: Does anybody want to meet up with me in Toronto??? Sean and I are thinking of coming down for the weekend. I will be spending some time with my brother and family (they move into their new home in the Beaches tomorrow), and I will be hanging out with Sean's friends for a bit... but would love to see whomever is there!

Sweaters: My teeth feel like they're wearing sweaters... time to brush them and head to bed!

Gnight!
