Sitting in an internet cafe with a quick update (can you believe even Starbucks closes at 5:30 in this country?? ha shame on my North American expectations).

We spent the weekend moving and I have now developed a serious loathing for all things temporary. Packing up once again, shifting boxes, setting up phone/internet (which is going to take another 5 days - this isn't North America people), buying furniture….all for a rental. Kyle keeps reminding me how fortunate we are to be renting in a housing market that continues to fall and that renting requires ZERO house maintenance on the weekends - but I tend to focus on the purple wall paper and orange curtains, the lack of heating, and inability to even hang a coat rack on the wall... There, done with that rant.

We ARE enjoying the new pad!! Kids love it and the layout makes a bit more sense - we heat the house with a fireplace and I hang the laundry out to dry - wait, what year are we in? I will upload pictures whenever we get connected.

So WOW with you Canada!!! We go and leave the country and you drop a political bomb on us!! How we wish to be in Ottawa tonight to feel the VIBE of that city!! I had to race to the internet cafe to read all about it. Amazing. ok…back to my reading!
