| Hi Xanga world, as you can see, I'm not good at posting here anymore. It's been forever. It says I've been a member for 932 days. That's an awful long time, and I have been neglecting my xanga.
Just that some people were reading it and I felt restricted to write things that I wanted to write in here.
Anyways, I might start another one up, so I'll come by and visit some of my old subscriptions and drop a line, I'm sure that they didn't neglect xanga as much as I have, bad me.

| Well, I'm now in Montreal, Quebec. It was the longest drive I ever made. We had the worst weather possible. Left Calgary in 8 cm of snow to pass through Saskatchewan and Manitoba in pouring rain and when we got to Ontario... nothing but rain too. I guess it's a result of the hurricane that hit the states and Toronto. Sent all the bad weather up north to where we were driving. The trucks that kept whipping past us didn't help much either.
My cat was absolutely amazingly good on the trip, once we got past Medicine Hat, we let her out of the cage as she was fussing, and let her sit on the floor of the front passenger side. She was on a leash and didn't even mind that. Those of you who know or have heard about my cat would understand what I mean by her being so great. She spent the rest of the 4 day drive on the floor, getting out for a stretch at every gas station and at night in the motels, she ate and drank. Not a single accident or problem with her the whole time.
So I've been in Montreal for a week now, I've set up the place except for the bedroom. Got all my kitchen done, looking good with my sunflower theme, and the living area and bathroom look all tidy and sorted out. Now, I just gotta work on the bedroom.
It'll be nice once we get a bed and we're not sleeping on the floor. It gets a little hard after a while, yet it's still more comfortable than our old king size bed was.
Haven't done much for exploring yet, as I've been busy trying to find a space for everything. So far, I've found Wal Mart!!! We're right across from Rockland Mall, which is a big mall. Took a drive the other night, found this huge cathedral, called Saint Joseph, one set of stairs are reserved for people who walk up them on their knees. There's a lot of steps. I'll post pics as often as I can. I'm going to be taking a lot of pics of places I go. And now that I'm back with my scanner, I can post as freely as I like  | | |
| Hey out there. I've been so busy working and trying to save money lately for my big move that I have once again neglected my xanga duties. When I did have time to post, Xanga was down for a few days.
I've been busy making arrangements for my big move. I'm so excited. I can't wait to explore Montreal. I'm moving probably around the 17th of the September. Have to get a hitch attached to my car and then I'll be towing a U Haul trailer across Canada. All that I keep thinking about is that Mickey Mouse cartoon where they are towing the trailer and it comes unhitched and travels it's own journey. That better not happen to me.
So, I have a few more weeks of work then I'm going to be jobless for a few weeks while I look for a job that they don't need someone bilingual. As long as I have enough cash to pay my car, my loan and insurance, I'll be ok. I've been saving up so I should have enough until I get working. Plus I will qualify for Employment Insurance as I have to quit my job to move there as my BF moved there for work. So, that will help out for a while. I think I might try some temp work when I get there. Then I can find something that might interest me. I don't want to have to cut hair there, and besides, I'll have to take my license exam again as mine is only good in BC.
I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff that I don't need anymore. It's going to be hard starting over again but it'll be nice too because we can start saving for nice stuff instead of buying cheap stuff that breaks. Right now though, we don't even have a bed or a couch so it'll be oh so fun at first. Going to give up all luxuries except internet, which is what my BF and I spend the majority of our free time on.
We'll go out and explore new things instead of watching TV (Except Survivor of course)
Well, I have to get ready for work again  I work till 9:30pm tonight. So, I'm sure it'll be tons of fun getting a lot of 411 calls from all the drunks across Canada.
Hope you all have a good weekend. | | |
| Where does the time go? I can't believe it's already friday. I got the rest of my birthday gifts on Wednesday. My dad bought me a really cool pewter bracelet back from England. My sister gave me some money. I had my mum's gifts to open on my birthday She put this paper butterfly in my car that flew out and hit me in the face when I opened it. Scared the shit out of me. I think she got a good laugh watching me open my gifts on web cam. She bought me some beautiful stuff.
My BF has got a job offer that sounds like it's going to really be a good job for him. I'm planning to move to Montreal in mid september. I'm getting so excited. I think I'm going to love the change again. I like that kind of change. New scenery, new things to explore..... More stuff I need to scrapbook.
I should work on my scrapbook a bit today. I have the day off.... YAHOOOO!!! I work at 5:15am tomorrow though.
Anyways, I'm off for a while, going to go watch a movie I think.
Enjoy your friday. | | |
| My birthday was fun. Went for lunch at the Dutch Pannekoek House. I love it there, crepes the size of a huge round plate, filled with apples, cinnamon and raisins... mmmmm. I then went to see the movie The Pirates of the Caribbean. OMG, it was awesome. I just love those types of movies, and it had Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in it, can it get much better?They are both such great actors.
I got some nice presents for my birthday so far and I have more to come when they get here from Vancouver. I can't wait.
I wish I didn't have to work today because it's a late shift but good thing is I have tomorrow off so it'll be ok.
My bf has an interview with a really good company tomorrow. Everyone wish him luck, he really needs the job and then I'll be moving to Montreal. I'm getting excited about moving there. I'm aiming for Mid September.
Anyways, gotta go get ready for work.. blah. Talk at ya laters.
