I have a cold boo hoo

Well hello to anyone there. I would just like to say I have really been enjoying the NHL playoffs. There have been some very exciting games.

Some thoughts from me

- floor tiles, grout, I will never in my own house have tile grout. How do you bloody clean the stuff?!? grout is porous, the dirt and water just sinks right in. Ridiculous. I tried baking soda and that didn't really do the trick and now I can't get the white residue off. (thanks google)

- the lawn mower won't start. could it be water in the carborator (so google tells me) !?!?! What does one do when the lawn mover won't start. And you have no car, and the only way out of the back yard is through the house . Eeps

- I am a bit addicted to TV right now and I don't like it. However one stupid show I particularly enjoy is Total Wipeout USA. Brilliant! Watch out for those big balls.

- A big TV just begs you to watch it. If you sit in the livingroom with it off it just sits there looming over you willing you to turn it on. I definately hope to have a house where the big TV has its own room so I don't have to see it all the time. But I do like little tvs in the kitchen, most definately.

- I am thinking about getting rid of my facebook, and maybe my blog! Internet socializing sucks! What is the point of knowing everything about everyone if you haven't talked to or visited with anyone. I ask you!!?!

- Texting makes me feel nauseous and I don't like that either!

- while emptying the diskwasher on my own I thought 'I miss my sister'

- the UK federal election is tomorrow, Mark is missing the vote! (he is in Houston right now)

- and I am off to bed

Have you watched Strictly this week?

Hello to all

Mark's mom Jan took me to the Strictly Come Dancing (the UK equivelent to Dancing with the Stars) tour show. It was pretty impressive! The stage and dance floor were huge!

A walk on a January afternoon.

The snow is all gone. But yikes it was rather muddy! My runners still haven't recoverd.

Cest Laloween

Hey! This is the decorating I did on the front of the house. The little snail liked my skull!!

We got 32 kids. I think that is pretty good for England!!

The House

hello!

I am listening to the beginning of the Rider game right now and am very nerous as we can seem to do much. Penalty to get our first down! UGG its getting ugly.

Anyways this is how the main floor looks now with us living in it. I love that tv!!!

Musings on Turning Back the Clocks

First off I would like to say I am for Day Light Savings time. Having expirenced it for the last two years in London, and no major inconviences or calamities have occured, I can't see what the fuss is about from the anti people.

But I do have to say it is pretty weird leaving work on a Friday before dusk on October 22nd in and then leaving work on the Monday after at the same time in total darkness.

My only complaint is (at least in England's case) why arn't we on Daylight Savings Time all the time! Who cares about those morning hours, at that happens is the trekk into work.

New House!

This is our new residence. We are moving in 23 Oct. It is a 2 bedroom house, also with a little loft. It is in Bromley, which is in the South East of London. Bromley town centre is very close by (5/10 minute walk) which has a movie theater and a shopping mall. WOOO Hoooo. More pics to come when we actually move in.

Moving Out!

Before I came home to Regina to visit, I moved out of my room on South Park Crescent. This has been my home for 1.5 years. Hard to believe I had been there that long. Mick was there to see me off. I think he will miss me! As I was a model tennant!! :) I am staying with Mark right now and on 23 October we are moving into our own (well rented) little house! I am very excited; pictures to come.

Thanksgiving!

Mark and I had a special Roast Chicken supper last Sunday in honour of thanksgiving. Mmmm

Gymnastics!

I seized the day on Friday and after work I went to the O2 arena and bought a ticket in the nose-bled section (that was all that was left!) for the finals of the Women's All Round Gymnastics World championship finals. It was cool, I don't think I will gt to World championships that often so...

The Amazing Stage of U2

The concert was quite good, but the stage was pretty amazing. I guess I couldn't contain my - - -errrr joy? LOL very scarey face!
