Day: February 6, 2008
This is just plain fun. Goof around for a while.
It’s bucketing snow and the buses have stopped running.
Just think, in another couple of months I’ll be the one stuck and not able to come in. There are apparently accidents all over the place.
Success – we hope
Looks like the place we looked at on Monday night is a go. I will be forwarding my credit info to the landpeers shortly. The place is a three bedroom upper floor of a house in East Van bordering on Burnaby. It’s definitely ‘centrally located’.
Yes…. we could be looking at lots of places for a lot longer, but frankly we both saw it, we both liked it, and the place is quiet and well kept. Let’s see if this bears fruit or we have to keep looking.
Is nothing sacred?
Cables cut, doors slam shut
To find out what’s happnin’ elsewhere, one reads other newspapers for a change.
Spot the funnies (I count two) on this page, scanged from KhaleejTimes today.
Cooking cooking cooking
I feel MUCH better for Jeff having been here. I cooked up a storm and he devoured everything with the judgement of an adult and the appetite of a teenaged boy (a delightful combo) and now he is going to head for the nine o’clock ferry. Many people were called yesterday, they will hopefully start calling back today.
I had a supremely useful half day off yesterday. I got some really irritating banking done, a flu shot, a physical, a pile of bloodwork and other crap put on the to do list, epsom salts, more almonds and eggs and butter for biscotti, got the block taken off Katie’s phone so Dax can call her again (I willl be glad when she’s working again and can start paying for the damned phone – o did I mention she starts work in a call center on Thursday?) which is not happy making, but I promised. There was other useful shopping and errand running in there but that’s the general idea.
I am fatter than I’ve ever been in my life. This is an emergency! Send out for more cheese dip! (This is a Laugh-In reference, in case you were wondering.) My next vacation will be to a fat farm; in the meantime, I need to eat more soup.
