Just another rainy day!!

Ugh today's weather was SO LAME!!! It was POURING practically all day! However, this did not stop me from running some errands in my old home town and visiting my mommy at work with some Timmies yum yum! Also caught up with some work friends on the drive back home wow it seems like I worked there SOOOO long ago but it's just been a few weeks...the best part is when I was bragging on the phone about how there are now so many hours in a day and it's ridiculous the amount of things one can get done, if they are not going to work. LOL! For real though...one day I did so much stuff that even I couldn't believe it was still daylight outside!! But it is WAY more exhausting than work!

The WiN conference was awesome as usual :) Met some really cool people and lots of interest was generated for GEMS so I hope to explore that further! Wendy Mesley was one of the speakers and she did a fantastic job!

Wendy Mesley was at the WiN conference as the keynote speaker

Most hilarious part of my day - I was telling another WiN Board Member about my new life as a housewife:

C: So how are you enjoying your time off?
Me: OMG being a housewife is way more difficult than going to work!
C: Oh?
Me: I don't even know how people do this? Like there are so many things to do and so many things to learn! And worst of all there is no paycheque! Like how did our moms do this? I have a much bigger appreciation for housewives now! Doing housework and raising kids, man even with a nanny that would be tough. I wish I could have a nanny just for me, you know, help with stuff.
C: Well what did you do with the kids before when you were working?
Me: We don't have kids.....
C: Oh stop complaining then!!!

I think C *maybe* thinks I'm a domestic diva...but I'm not! Just new at the gig!

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH
Oh gosh! That was jokes! But I do see mom's out shopping when I'm running errands during the day now. I have no idea how people shop with babies in their cart. Or holding their hand. Like are you supposed to be able to hold your shopping bags AND the baby? And how would you even load your car properly? Is it better to just get that thing that you strap onto your body with the baby in it so you don't actually have to hold the child? Anyways, my sisters probably have a better method but I don't need it lol

After the conference I drove straight to E&W's (my niece and nephew) swimming lesson. In my conference business suit. I didn't want to embarrass the babies so I at least took my heels off before I entered the pool area. I was over dressed. But anyways it was super cute watching them "swim" except for the part where I thought W was going to drown every time the instructor turned around. His cute little head kept going under and he was scared :( I think that was the last swim lesson I will go to.

Weekend is finally hereeeeeeeeeee
I'm going to try my new cooking skills this weekend!!
I have currently attended one of three of my cooking classes from cookingmatters.com
Chef Suki is transforming me into a South Asian cooking expert!

I made garam masala from scratch!
No biggie ;)

I also made chicken tikka, lamb kebabs, chick pea chaat, samosai, pakorai, tamarind chutney, and puri's.
ALL from scratch!!! And let me tell you...each and every item was DELISH!
Oh yah and masala chai which my hubby loves :)

I am going to attempt a few of these dishes again this weekend without the help of chef Suki and see how it goes! Here are some pics from my first class....merai moo mei paani a raha hai (my mouth is watering) LOL

Me with Chef Suki! Displaying the samosai, pakorai and delicious puri!

I am so excited to EAT :)

Eating on the deck at Suki's after a long day of cooking!
