Submarines, France and dancing!!

So, this morning at 9:15am, I got all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth pulled!! I haven't really been feeling good all day and have yet been able to keep any kind of food/liquid down, but I'm sure that will pass and I'll be eating chips again in no time!
I was amazed at how fast I was out when they put my IV in. I just remember the doctor injecting the drugs and the nurse putting oxygen over my nose and than it was over. I dont' remember walking from the room into the recovery area, but my mom was waiting there and apparently I was talking about being on a submarine. The nurse had told my mom not to let me fall asleep and I had to sit on the bed against the wall. I guess I started to close my eyes, so my mom said 'Nikki, don't fall asleep', and I pleasantly responed with 'Screw off!'...oops!! I then proceeded to talk about being in France and how I wanted to go dancing while singing along to the song playing on the radio. I just remember really wanting to lie down on the bed, and I vaguely remember this, but I pointed and said to my mom 'Mom, what's that over there?' She looked, and I sneakily started to lie down while laughing and saying 'tricked ya'. Later mom was telling me all this and we had some good laughs!

WhAt A bEauTIfuL DAy!!

Today was such a good day I thought I'd share it with you all! I started off by sleeping in (and in doing so, not going to church...) which was great because I've been staying up way too late lately and I definitely needed the sleep. Then my mom and I decided to do some pilates. I got a DVD out of the cereal box awhile ago and I thought I'd give it a try. Now...if you have never done pilates, it is hard! I wasn't expecting it be so hard and such a good workout, but boy was I wrong! I had to stop and just sit there and watch for a good portion of it because there is no way my body moves like theirs do, and I couldn't hold the movements for as long as they wanted me to. But it was fun, and I'll definitely give it another try!

Then I went for a bike ride with my friend Sarah. We both hadn't been biking in so long so we thought we'd go for it and it was a perfect day for it...not too hot! We biked for probably a good 45 minutes, stopped at Charles Daly Park for awhile and then headed back. It felt great to be outside and get some exercise!!

After our superfantastic bike ride, I went to go visit Jon at his house. He was ripping apart the kitchen and rerouting some wires. I thought he'd probably be hungry and being the great sister than I am, I brought him some supper! I took some pictures of his house so I will post them very soon.

After that I went home, relaxed a little and then went to my friend Robyn's house and watched Pride and Prejudice. If anyone has not seen this movie, please go rent it!! It's so great! So, that was my day...pretty great if you ask me.

Summer Days.

Well, what better way to start the month of August than with 50 degree Celcius weather!! I never thought I'd see the day...o.k., so the actual temperature was 36, but with the humidity it was 50...50!! That's just crazy to me. I was inside all day so I can't say I really experienced the 50 degree weather, but I was still disgusted by it.
So, summer is just flying by and I can't say that I've really done a whole lot. It's been good though to just relax and have time to read a good book. This past weekend Hillary and Mike came to visit me and we had a fun day. I introduced them to this ice cream shop called Toute Sweet...it's similar to The Marble Slab in the States. It has the best ice cream.

I also went to Kitchener for a joint family shower for Jon & Heather and for Claire at my aunts house. It was also the first family get-together since my grandma passed away, so it was sad in that aspect, but it was a fun day.
Both Jon & Heather and Claire got lots of nice gifts.

Jon & Heather got their house last Friday which is so crazy but exciting. I went to see it on Saturday while Jon and his friend Keith were tearing apart the dining room and knocking out a wall. It needs a lot of work, but it's a cute house and will look great when it's done. I'll try to get some pics posted soon. I still can't believe Jonny's moving out soon...I try not to think about it cause it will be so wierd when he's gone and it's just me and the parents. Anyways, there's a little update about my happenings.
