help

I am not leaving this one around for long so please help now :)
Here's the deal... I have still not chosen a monument for my father's grave. Yes I know, bad daughter :(

I did narrow it down to 2 at least.
I am really torn between both of them.

I am asking for your help just give your honest opinion on which on you prefer. Maybe it will help me chose.
Thanks!

P.S. I know one is in french and the other English but that is not what you are picking on. Only the look is the important. the sales lady was just showing me what it would look like in french and English..
Option A:

Option B:

review of my trip

I am just gonna do a long pic post....but it's my way of keeping in touch and showing I am alive.
My mother/daughter trip with my mom, found us in Montreal and then down the USA. It was a priceless.

View from the top floor of the hotel we stayed at in Montreal. elenvenh floor and it was such a nice patio that connected to the indoor pool. loved it!

While on my trip, I was able to fulfill small dreams... to see the Bodies exhibit(real bodies that are plastified but teach you how our bodies work) very interesting.
The second dream fulfilled is.... shopping at Ikea.

Then off to the USA.
First stop was New Hampshire.
The plan was to do the Mt.Washington auto road by car... but evaluation of the mountain drive...i decided against it.

First of all you drive up 6000 feet on a road that is very narrow, no guard rails, twists and turns. and my mother freaks when i pull into a tight parking spot so it would not have been enjoyable. We took a guided tour up instead. Best idea ever. It's a van and the driver informs you the whole way it's great! I loved every minute of it :)


We made it to the top and yes I was aware it gets very VERY cold on the summit of the mountain....but hey I am from Canada.
So here I am when I first got there, it's windy in case you did not notice the hair.

After about 15 minutes of being there I was fricking freezing!!!!
Here is a pic my mom said i complained the whole damn time.
Not the best pic of us but hey what can you do when you have to take yourself on a freezing mountain top.


In other updates. I thought this was so cute. We went on a little trip on the weekend and brought Buddy to a dog bakery :)
I bought him some cheesy pizza and wagamelons*shaped like watermelon slices* cookies and one special treat... A summer burger.
I took 2 pics to show you guys but one is a dud because you can't see the burger but decided to show you anyways just because Buddy's face in the background proves he needs will power too.

remember me??

Hi there...

yes I am updating you guys, just because i miss blogging. Certainly not because i am so proud of my weight loss :(

yes I am not losing anything lately but I seem to have stopped the gaining for now. it's depressing but I am telling myself after the hectics of my vacation.

I am on vacation for 2 weeks :)
Leaving for a mother daughter trip tomorrow morning.
For 2 days we will be in Montreal then we go down to the United States for some shopping. will be back after 5 days of being gone.
I am overall excited for this.

I got a laptop so maybe I will post while away.

in the past month i have been to the doctor got my blood pressure under control with extra medication, finally admitted there is nothing wrong with needing help to get out of a depression. so meds and starting therapy at the end of the month.
Hopefully this will be just what I need to see the light at the end of tunnel which will help with my weight loss.
