Welcome back to my weekly adventures! Its been refreshing to not have to waste my brain cells on writing some smart title because I really never have any stuff. Not that talented in that area 😉
This week’s adventures are really not quite adventurous and I really had to strive to find what to do for this.
We’ll do this day by day and step by step.
1) Girls Movie Night
On Tuesday night, I went with my girl friends to go see The Maze Runner. I miraculously managed to get the review up the next day. If you happened to have missed it, please head over HERE to check it out if it interests you 😉
2) Montreal Comic-Con Tee Turtle Shirt came in!
Ghibli characters crossing the street? Enough said, no?
3) Vampire Diaries Season 5
On Friday night, I came home to wrap up the last two episodes of Season 5. Although the first few episodes of the fifth season was a bit slow, it does pick up relatively fast. The season finale has me looking forward to Season 6. Plus, it gave me a pretty weepy evening when I couldn’t help but shed a few emotional tears with that somewhat dramatic ending. Cliffhanger season finales are just so great but just so frustrating also.
Next season is starting Oct. 2nd (I think) and you bet that I’m going to be catching that episode whether its on TV or the day after streaming on CTV (Canadian channel when I only have bunny ears).
4) Afternoon Date with my Boyfriend
Our Tuango coupon deal was going to expire at the end of September so we used Saturday afternoon to go on a little trip to downtown and visited one of the newer museums. What the museum is? Can you guess with the picture on top?
I’ll be posting up on that tomorrow once I have time to sit down and sort through the pictures tonight 🙂
5) Getting started on watching the Halloween Movie Marathon
With the extensive series of Friday the 13th being the main feature, my boyfriend and I have started watching the Halloween movies this year. Only the main feature ones for now. How far I am? Well, I’m not going to dive into those details but once October starts, I’ll have my reviews up. I have a general run down set from the current results. I’m taking the top 3-5 movies in each category in the voting polls that I had up 2 weeks or so ago.
With that said, as relentless as this sounds, FINAL CALL OUT for the voting on Halloween movie marathon! Tomorrow is the last day! 🙂
If you didn’t vote and would love to participate or just help a girl out or voice your opinion, head on over HERE!
If you already did, thank you so very much! You’ve just chosen the movies I’m going to watch for Halloween and I really hope that your choices get picked. If there is any particular ones you’d like me to look at, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll make sure to add it to the marathon or the next recommendations month 😉
ALSO, as a bonus, I’m planning on going to see some horror movies in the theatres. There’s a few I’m interested in but I’m going to need my boyfriend to go with me so he has the final decision in these situations. Lets hope it happens 😉
6) Water and Transportation support for Oasis Half-Marathoners!
It was the real deal yesterday for my friends. I woke up bright and early to take 3 of them to their 10K/half marathon. I spent another hour and a half navigating through all the closed roads. Thank you to my phone GPS, I managed to figure and regroup and finally found a parking spot. Then proceeded to wait for them to get back.
Everyone did great times and some had their personal high. Plus, they all got a bonus with the run with a free beer. They were all tired but extremely proud, I’d have to say 🙂
I’m not much of a runner but there are times, I do consider training to attempt a 10K. Who knows? Maybe one day I will.
7) Painting almost done!
Our basement is completely done painting. Its looking pretty joyful and colorful, which is good because its also extremely dark already. The lighting is bad here but the walls are mint green 🙂 I think it turned out lovely. While I was busy with helping friends out, my boyfriend was hard at work. That leads us to my next point…
8) Gardening progress!
Sunday was indeed a busy day and it took a lot to keep going. I came back and had lunch and eventually got back to my place to continue the gardening. I actually drafted out the yard setup in my notebook to know how to proceed. A few things were accomplished after that.
Raspberry plant in the ground
Crimson Star moved and Spring bulbs planted
My side plot is getting most of my attention. You can see the green leafy plant next to chrysanthemums and thats the crimson star. It flowers in summer. Also, right next to it, with all the black top soil is spring bulbs. I’m not sure if I planted them too deep, so we’ll see in Spring 2015, right? Thats just the first phase.
I’m clearing out some plants and making them smaller in the front yard so I can keep planting more bulbs. My yard is mega depressing in spring on the flowers front so I’m seeing to it that next year, it’ll be different 😉
9) Planning for some Changes
Its a bit early to talk about it and life’s been really kind of taking a front seat over the blog(s). Between the house and getting anything on Tranquil Dreams, its taking me forever to get some write-ups to other bloggers that I said I would. That makes me feel pretty bad so I’m going to be working on those ASAP. If I owe you anything for any blogathon/series, I promise you, they will get there soon. I’m a bit fuzzy on deadlines right now but I’m trying to get them in.
Surprising fact is that my brain loves to overwhelm itself even more as I try to organize myself. I think it just likes to be in constant chaos. What do I mean? Somehow, I’m inspired for a few tweaks for the blog, which I’m sorting out the little bits and pieces to launch for next year. Perhaps, I’m playing around with a rating system, a long term project and I’m deciding when that new segment, Crush of the Week/Month should launch. I’m just debating if it should be weekly or monthly.
10) Ending these adventures off with some music…
You thought it’d never end, right? Well, I like to end in style and here we are. The first is a little piece from The Piano Guys called Batman Evolution. The score arrangement is pretty genius!
Second, its a song I recently heard on the radio: Wanderlust by The Weeknd. It has a nice beat 🙂
Thats it for this week’s adventures! 🙂
How was your weekend? What series are you watching? Anyone also closing up their gardens before the frost arrives? Any music addictions lately?
HAPPY MONDAY, MY LOVELIES! 🙂
