• Today is actually NOT my Friday – Yesterday was! Today Kyle and I are heading to Kelowna to meet and greet our potential new pup! We’re really hoping it all goes well and his personality matches Daphne’s okay, or at least Daphne tolerates him. I’m sure it will work out though!
• My Grandma’s recovery is going REALLY well! She’s moved down to the “rehab” floor, where the nurses and staff are working her butt off getting her better. She’s had so much improvement over the last week, it’s amazing. I’m so proud of her progress – she’s a tough woman and just won’t give up!
• As of Monday I will be the only pregnant woman at work. A co-worker who is also expecting starts her maternity leave on Monday, so it will just be me waddling around the office. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but I do wish her all the best as she awaits the arrival of her second lil’ one! (I’m betting it’s a girl :))
• Since I’m writing this Thursday, I will note that I took/am taking a 3-hour crash course in “How To Use My DSLR Camera” last night (Thursday night) with my awesomesauce wedding photog Jo. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot and will be able to take better shots and get more use out of my camera!
• Winter just won’t seem to let up. The past couple mornings there’s been a little skiff of snow on the ground. Boo. The first day of spring is next week, so I’m hoping that will be the end of it! I really want to start wearing flats and sandals, because I’m getting too pregnant to put boots on. It takes way more effort than it should.
• My favourite author, Emily Giffin’s,  new book, titled “Where We Belong” comes out July 21! I seen it available for pre-order online Wednesday night and it got me all giddy. Then I got all sad because I have to wait 4 months to get it.
• I’m really sad that the season is over the The Walking Dead. Season 2 was SOOOO good, I can’t wait to see what Season 3 brings! I’d say more but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who may have not watched the episodes yet.
• I think I’m getting pregnancy carpal tunnel. Or just retaining more water. My fingers feel fat, achy and downright horrible. I check my wedding and engagement rings everyday to make sure I can still take them off. I’ll be sad if I have to get them cut off!
• My plan is to make these Chocolate Zucchini Muffins that I originally spied on Kyla Roma’s blog sometime this weekend. They look SOOOO good, and I’m hoping Kyle likes them. If not, more for me, right? Right!
• I really don’t understand the Willy Wonka memes I see floating around Pinterest, mostly because I find Willy Wonka to be a little creepy, however, I did find this one quite amusing:

*giggle snort*

I have plans to throw together a decent blog post last night, but then I decided to be lazy. So now you get a hap-hazard list of randomness, in true Friday fashion.

• Pregnancy has left me craving way more ice cream than usual. The cookies and cream ice cream in my freezer is almost gone. So what does my darling husband do? Goes out to the store to buy me some! And not just one measly carton of ice cream – he brings back a good variety! I got chocolate drumsticks, strawberry sundae ice cream and Toll House cookie dough ice cream. Needless to say, I am a happy girl! Best Husband of the Year Award? Kyle is definitely a contender. Oh, and photo proof of my happiness:
  
• Next weekend my little brother is moving to Vancouver to start digital art & design school. It’s silly how much I think I’ll actually miss him! Our relationship has certainly changed now that we’re both adults, and it’s a a good thing. We seem to communicate a bit better and a lot more! Hopefully he visits when he can. I know he hopes to come visit when the baby arrives, which is around his 23rd birthday! Actually, Baby is due three days after his birthday. He really doesn’t want the baby to come on this birthday, claiming that it’s HIS day, lol. I tell him I’m going to have the baby then just to spite him ;)
• Next Friday Kyle, Daphne (yes, Daphne) and I are going to meet our potential new pup! He’s so cute and adorable, I really hope everything goes well! Fingers crossed!
• I hate tax season. Seriously. Last year I got screwed and had to pay about $1,200 back to the government. I have a feeling this year won’t be any  better. Oh, and the place that did our taxes last year also screwed up Kyle’s return, and he had to pay back $200 as well. This year we’re going to an accountant, so hopefully we can figure something out that works. If not, I’ll have to have a serious conversation with payroll at work to take more tax $ off my paychecks.
• If you’re bored and want to draw horribly unartistic drawings with me, play Draw Something with me! My username is KaraEvs!
• My grandma is doing a lot better these days. She’s still not 100%, no where near, but she’s so. much. better. It’s going to be a really long road, but we’re all hopeful. I really want to thank everyone for their well wishes! It means a lot.
• I hope everyone has an awesometastic weekend!

What are your weekend plans??
