What's up Tom Hanks?


Do you remember when there was no such thing as the internet, and if you wanted to know who was born on your birthday you had to make sure you were near a TV on the day so Entertainment Tonight would tell you? You didn't do that? Apparently my celeb stalking started young. I was stressed that no one cool would have my b-day, how shameful would that be? Luckily Tom Hanks saved the day (what 9 year old wouldn't be excited to share her b-day with the guy from Big, The Burbs and Joe vs the Volcano - that was my vast repertoire of Hanks films then) 

So now every year on my b-day I always wonder... What is Tom Hanks doing today? This year with my new mad twitter skills maybe I will actually know. 

Anyway it's not the 9th yet so who cares what Tom is up to ( I can call him Tom cause we share a birthday) What are my plans. Normally I would be in the midst of planning a ridiculous theme party - which was going to happen (and it was going to be vintage circus and would have been awesome) but I was not feeling up to it and decided I just wanted to get away, sit on a beach and then hit the town. So that's what I am doing. We booked a schmancy hotel in Toronto and are having a ladies weekend - cause we are definitely ladies (Little Britain anyone?) and I plan to just enjoy a little break in the big city with some friends who are also all about some kid free shenanigans  

Wow that was rambley...  Coles note version:  I'm spending my b-day in Toronto, probably with Tom Hanks.

Spring shopping

It's Monday - it's snowing :( So I will just sit back and reminisce about my awesome weekend :)

I headed up to Toronto with 3 friends on Saturday - for shopping, food and fun. We had a great day and I feel like I was successful in my search for a much needed wardrobe re-vamp (will post pics of some of my finds later!). Sunday was spent visiting Cassie (it was her due date- still no baby)followed by downtown shopping with Kate & Maya (Lily was napping so she missed out). I also made peanut butter cups which I am pretty excited about, and Clifford got the record player going and the girls had a dance party while I knit- it was pretty much a perfect weekend :)

How did your weekend go? Happy 1st Day of Spring!
