Back To Normal

Well the long weekend is officially over now and it's time to get things back to normal around here. Nelbine and Mr. Robotics left yesterday shortly before lunch, with an intention to visit the chocolate factory on their way home. Mmm, I'm so jealous.

Tink started his swimming lessons yesterday. And I must say, I was not very impressed with how it went down. We had to dunk our babies in heavily-chlorinated, cold water not once, but half a dozen times! Which Tink absolutely hated, screaming in public for the first time ever. Thank goodness Krazy was with me because I refused to torture my child in that way. I felt justified after speaking with my neighbour who informed me that at her baby's swimming lessons, they only dunked once per lesson. I'm not really sure whether I want to continue with these lessons or try and get my money back. Tink will most certainly fail because I cannot handle half the things they want us to do. They try and tell you that it's good to start these things early. But how does it help anything if the kid is traumatized??

Yesterday was our second wedding anniversary. Wow, has it really been 2 years? The calendar says so..and I can definitely see it in some ways. But in others - not at all. Sweet One was supposed to come over and watch Tink while we went out but she has been sick. So we brought the entertainment to us. We ordered Greek take-out and rented some movies.

Have you ever seen Tristan and Isolde? I thought it was appropriate to rent a romantic movie to celebrate Krazy and I's undying love for each other. This film was very violent at times, and oh so tragic! Did not exactly put me in the mood for romance afterwards. Instead I started crying about the hopelessness of it all, and then it turned into a guilty cry over dunking Tink half a dozen times in heavily-chlorinated, cold water. It was a beautiful film visually, but I had a hard time believing that the Isolde character wouldn't fall in love with Rufus Sewell's character over James Franco as Tristan. Franco plays a wicked James Dean and he works as Spiderman's nemesis - but there's no way a girl would choose him over Rufus Sewell. No way!

I better go and call OC Transpo to see if they have my camera. I think I left the stupid thing on the bus. Don't worry, it was an 11-year-old 35mm so nothing of any worth. Except the film is full of adorable pictures of Tink sitting on the Hill!
