Ok, Ok, so I know I haven't written lately and I'm not gonna tell you it was because I was sooooo busy... in truth I think I've just been lazy!! Afterall... if I have time to play on the PS3 or watch movies and television, i could spare a minute or two for my blog... So sorry to all of my blog readers for not having anything new to read for over 2 months...
I figured that I could write about my vacation... but the wireless internet at some of these hotels is slower than a snail covered in molasses...
Our first 'motel' was pretty sketchy... but that's what you get for stopping at the first one you see... we got the last room in the place - luckily it was on the ground floor so it was easy to lug our ginormous suitcase and necessities into it... we walked up to our room and in front of it was a HUGE pile of empty boxes (TV boxes to be accurate)... well huh I thought... guess they're doing some remodelling or something... oooooh yeah... I'm thinking that the inside is gonna be great.... Boy was I wrong... this motel was in a word... FLEABAG!! lol... I checked out the beds... there were 4 by the way (2 Queen, 1 Double and 1 twin)... the sheets looked new and clean but the comforter was out of the 70's or 80's... the TV was new... lol... but the cable was so grainy it wasn't worth trying to watch anything!! Plus it only got like 7 channels... I felt like I was in a time warp or something... *snigger*... now that song from Rocky Horror is playing over and over in my head!!! Anyway, we went to bed... the place had nice pillows and those awesome blackout drapes....
Woke up the next morning and showered.... OH MY GOODNESS... there was no end to the hot water!! which is very good since I'm used to competing with my darling hubby for our limited supply at our house!! It felt so great that I decided to shave my legs... ok that might have been a bit too much info for some of you, but let me tell you this... its is so much better doing this with really REALLY warm water than to try and do it with luke-warm so that you have enough Hot water for two people to shower... LOL...
We got on the road in a hurry, and I was very grateful I had packed the cooler with sandwiches and goodies for the road, because that little town did NOT have a Tim Horton's...lol!!
We stopped about an hour out of Vernon, at a place called Paul Lake and had a picnic lunch and then sat on the bank with our feet in the water... I so miss being so close to the water... The sound, the smell, its all so familiar and brings me back to my childhood! It was a very VERY happy childhood. (Thanks largely to my incredible mom and my wonderful step-dad)...
We reluctantly left the lake and travelled into Vernon to go to the Tiki Village motel... I love this place - it's the second time we've been here and it's just awesome!!! Spent the afternoon/evening with my in'laws and then went into the room to watch some tv and go to bed.
Well that brings us up to today!! Its only about 4 here now, and already today we've been to the Wal-Mart and the Mall (had to do a little shopping - afterall I was already out of reading material...)... And now I'm headed off to the pool to do a little swimming and then we're going to meet up with my hubby's Great aunty...
I'll write again tomorrow... hope y'all come back to read!!

What did you get to read?
BTW Tigger hissed and took a swipe but then he backed right off when I yelled at him...lol! He wasn't expecting that...we made up after( treats are a great make-up tool!)
yes treats are a great tool for animals... they always seem to love you more if you have food in your hand... even if its your treat instead of theirs... LOL I think I spoil my kitties a little too much sometimes!!
