ramblin' on

You know what sucks? A slow internet connection, that's what. It's been a few weeks now and I now look at my computer in disgust. I've tried everything short of shaking the damn thing. Hence, the lack of posting in the last couple of weeks. We're just waiting for Victor's younger brother to come over and work his magic on our laptop...and this may take weeks...months.

You know what doesn't suck? The fact that I've been spending all my time outside in this crazy fantastic weather! I've been hiking and biking and beach blanketing...been running and sunning and it's been pretty rad if I do say so myself.

But you know what sucks again? In my attempt to save money, I haven't had a pedicure in ages. I have raggedy feet (which I tried pedicuring myself but no talent in that department). And flip flops are not made for raggedy feet. I think I'm due for a feet treat and will splurge on these dogs in the near future. They deserve it with all this summer action. Feet are amazing aren't they? How much work they do for us with little to no thanks? So THANK YOU feet, I'm booking you a pedicure pronto.

So any other news in my land? Well, I've been doing this Jillian Michaels circuit workout...not the 30 day shred but same concept. And I tell ya, it feels like it's chiselling my body to new proportions. I actually wore a pair of short shorts (note: NOT BOOTY SHORTS) today and didn't feel all post-pregnancy jiggly.

Oh and reason number 1000 why I love summer? Bowls full of juicy cherries for dessert.

And that there is the end of this completely random ramble.

movin' on up!

My computer has been on the fritz and it takes a day and half to load up any page. What fun this makes checking out my favourite sites. So what I've been doing instead is planning a move back into Vancouver. Yep. That lasted all of three months.

An opportunity to move back into town presented itself and I took it in a flash. It's a bit difficult living with in-laws. The older brother/younger brother dynamic is getting to us. Victor, being the younger (middle) brother, has and always will be the "nice" guy. And anything his brother tells him to do, he'll do. And so it's been a bit of a headache to see him leave the house to go to Canadian Tire when he's supposed to be washing the dishes or {insert chore here}. It's not just that, there are other issues...and we are just gloriously happy to have privacy again. To have a bit more of a barrier than a knock at an unlocked door.

And so, after that bit of candor, we'll soon be back to our old hood...plus a few thousand blocks...but at least we'll be in Vancouver. And back to condo living but heck, we sometimes have to sacrifice for urban living.
