Is it just me or are the days just flying by?  This week has been rough.  I am not sure if it's the slight shift in weather.  The darker mornings and the sun going down a bit earlier - but I have been literally dragging myself out of bed.  It's all reminiscent that old man winter is getting ready to grace us with his presence.  It's always then that I regret ever complaining about the heat.  But seriously - this summer was disgusting.  I am not into that kind of hot. 

Enough of the weather heather!  Before I start sounding like I'm 80.  Or just really Canadian.  Let's catch up shall we? 

Happy About

Camping for the last long weekend of Summer. We kicked off the summer with a rainy camp trip to Killbear Provincial Park - and I am happy that we will close the season off at Grundy Lake Provincial Park. We had just been to Grundy in July and loved it - there are a few hiking trails I want to explore. And seriously - we even booked the same site because it backed on to these amazing sitting rocks.  I feel happy about doing this.  I mean - wouldn't you? 

Searching For

New curtains for our living room.  At the moment the room is quite brown.  I like it - but it needs a little pop.  Something to make it feel a tiny bit feminine and a bit brighter.  Winter is only going to make it feel more gloomy - I need to brighten up this space soon.  Any suggestions on neutral coloured/patterned curtains would be greatly appreciated!  Oh and if you also could help me in searching for some extra time - that would be wicked awesome too.  I'm looking for approximately 1 additional hour per day.  Thanks.

making

Plans to organize our apartment.  We have fallen behind on all our household chores.  I am hoping that Pinterest will offer some ideas on how to manage a home when you really just don't have enough time.  Cleaning just doesn't happen on top of work.  blogspectations.  and weekend obligations.  I am making plans for September.  Consider this a new school year in the Hope Squared home.

Feeling

Tired!  My insomnia has been crazy this past month.  It's hard to imagine that my next real vacation isn't until April 2013.  Camping at the end of the month will be a nice break - but I need something a little more. Something like this.

Going

Shopping! ASAP. For a new fall wardrobe. I didn't once. not even once. Go shopping this summer. OK that's sort of a lie - I shopped in March before our honeymoon - but I haven't since then. That's almost 6 months. Lady needs some new clothes. Badly. I basically look like a hobo.
