Just remembered that a year ago yesterday we won the bid for our house. In two more month’s, we will have been there for a year. It’s crazy how fast a year can go by (and how not much has changed with the house!). Even with the flaws and I’m sure major work to be done at some point, I love our house so much and feel so lucky that we got it. It’s the perfect neighborhood...
The painter will be done tomorrow and the house is looking fabulous. Anything is better than the plaster marks everywhere from when the electrical was done and the bright purple and green kiddie rooms. Someday, I may feel differently about these colors.
I’ll post picks once it’s all done. Still a long way to go but a huge improvement for now.
Had a Toronto girls night out tonight. It was fun but, I have to admit, it was not as much fun as when I’m with MY girls…you know who you are. Miss you all so much…really looking forward to seeing some of you in less than a month (wish you could all be here). :)
After way too many games played, I FINALLY WON! I guess my made-up words worked. Thank you gavot and jaup.
The words I used with Words with Friends tonight:
Feater
Gavot
Jaup
Rotos
Does anyone even know what those words mean? I had to look them up on the Internet, after I played them. I am DETERMINED to beat Ryan as he kills me every time.
We were suppose to get a ton of snow this morning. All it is doing is raining outside. Wet snow is expected if temperatures start to drop which I’m hoping they don’t. If I heard correctly, we have gotten a total of 6 inches of snow in Toronto all winter. Lets cross our fingers this keeps up. Best part about the morning, Ryan gave me a ride so I got here at 8am again! That makes...
Painter and couch coming tomorrow. It’s all coming together.
Elevators...
From an email just sent out:
“The high-rise elevators are stopping on each floor, so we recommend that you add 20 minutes to your travel time if you are headed to a client meeting.”
The high-rise elevators are for floors 16 - 26 and as I mentioned before, I am on the 23rd floor. Glad I brought lunch today. This is becoming very comical.
Today...
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. I hope you all are able to enjoy the day with loved ones whether it be a significant other, family or friends.
Valentine’s Day has never bothered me or excited me for that matter. For all of my teens and my early twenties I spent every year alone. Which was honestly fine by me. When I did meet Ryan, we lived 4 hours apart and I spent the first 3...
2/11 - Makes you happy - our new king bed that was delivered yesterday. It’s massive. Please excuse the bedding - we have to buy new now that we have upgraded. And excuse the lights that are now way too low and I’m debating about getting rideof as I don’t like the lamp shades and I can’t swap them out.
2/12 - Inside your closet. Sadly, that’s not even half of...
The elevators are now working. Someone just needs to tell the building that 2 out of the 5 stalls in the bathroom have NO toilet paper. And one of the ones that does has a light out so the already dark stall is super dark right now. My new building could use some major improvements.
The elevators in my building are currently not working. I work on the 23rd floor. Hopefully this gets cleared up in the next few hours or else it’s going to be a long trip down to the bottom after work today.
Update: 1 elevator out of 6 is working - but you are not to press the “up” or “down” button. Instead, there is a person in the elevator that will stop on...
So glad I worked from home today. My co-worker just messaged me to say the following (the Oasis is our kitchen area with seating):
“Well, you missed the lunch show at the Oasis. You know the girl near me with the platinum blond streaks on top of her dark hair? Evidently something didn’t go down right and she booted all over the carpet in the hallway on the way to the Oasis and the...
