This past week was much different than the previous week, in which I felt like I was almost dying. Well, not reallly, but I just felt like total crap, I had a hard time accomplishing anything and I though I was gonna end up with a cold. Then suddenly, last Saturday, I was full of energy and have been for the past week. Yesterday I received my family for supper in the honor of my mom's 60th b-day. It's the last time I have such a big gang over on a week night! I left work at 12:30 to prepare everything on time. Making shepard's pie is easy but takes a lot of preparation. I prepared all sorts of hors-d'oeuvres. My family was totally impressed! I was glad they came over as they NEVER come to see me. I have been living here for a year and a half and most of them only came to see me twice! My house greatly improves itself everytime....there is always something new. At least I try :) My mom was sooo happy!My dad couldn't believe how good the tea was....I laughed because it was the exact same tea from his house that I used. We figured Ottawa water must have been the secret ingredient. (Casselman water is notoriously gross.)The cake was amazing (store bought by my sister). Yes, I had a piece Rachel! I tiny piece! It just seemed rude not to eat birthday cake. I will be faced with the same thing tomorrow for Christina's b-day. But eating that cake made things worse....I'm craving sugar even more now! I love receiving ppl for parties...Lots of left-over food and a clean house are left. Yay!
health,
family
