Good morning people! Jomo's girl...you could become an official honouree Canadian?! I'll vouch for you since we've met in person and you're one VERY cool lady! Glad you're enjoying your new part-time job and perks! I've never heard of Lush...but when I think of the name, I'm thinking that it's probably not "my" kind of store anyway.

Now that is what I'm talking about! Thanks guys. A good laugh is just how I needed to start this work week.

Assuming they give my Husband his visa, we will be moving in approximately 12 weeks - yes 12 weeks!! So today I pulled out all the papers I have been storing on the book shelf in the spare room, I figure that is as good a place as any to start, now need to organize a folder for my Husband to take to Montreal, organize all the geneological info I collected when documenting my U.S. citizenship (and there is a lot of it) plus other bits and pieces.

I have a big box I bought and 2 clear folders. I will feel better once they are all organized.

12 weeks!!

We have kind of decided to use a upack pod, we aren't taking most furniture, it should be an interesting experience, especially driving all the way to Florida with the cat...hmm, plus we have no idea where we are staying when we get there lol

First, thanks to all of you who have been sending good vibes our way. Mi madre is doing better, though recovery of this is a long process. She might get out of the ICU at the end of this week. We are all praying for her and keeping in touch. Sometimes I do wonder ####### am I doing so far away from my family, and it has not been easy for either me or Bren, since I am not much fun to be around these days. But, I'm my mother's daughter, so I'm hanging in there.

Again, thanks for the support y'all.

Well, we are back from Wintery Ontario. I seem to have brought the weather back with me, though, because they're forecasting snowflurries for this evening along the Florida coast!

Our flight was two hours delayed in Buffalo..... though not due to the falling snow. It was mechanical failure of our plane and we had to wait for them to deliver another one from Tampa. I think I would have preferred to hear it was due to the snow. We didn't get home until almost 1:00am this morning, but neither of us could get to sleep. So I watched Project Catwalk and HGTV until 3:00am, then tossed and turned until 5:00am when it was time to get back up again. Just popping in to say "hi, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year" and to collect my coffee from Carla. Then it's back to the laundry and the housework. Still have to run out to the store for a few items. I'd better get a move on.

We had a wonderful time while we were away. I'm exhausted from all the visiting though. I did a quick read of a few pages and am so sorry to hear of all the sad news for those who are suffering loss and health issues. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Right. Off to the store for me.

Sigh,

Nick left this morning. We had the best visit. I can't wait to see him again.

Happy New Years all

Len,

I'm so proud of you for staying strong through this horrible time.

I wish your mother a very speedy recovery.

Thinking of both you and Bren during this time.

Hugs hon

Welcome back Krikit!!

Isn't it beautiful there? I'm so glad it snowed this much the week Nick was here, we really enjoyed it too!

Sorry about the delay in Buffalo, something always has to go wrong.

Glad you weren't inconvenienced for too long!

[trailmix 77]

Cool! Where is "there", T-Mix?

We are thinking Lake Mary - have you heard anything good or bad about it!? Seems to be in the right position for not too hot and not too cold

And what is this talk of snow!! I don't like to hear 'snow' and 'Florida' in the same sentence

Glad to hear you had a good Christmas - and blah about the plane

Len, so glad you popped in, glad to hear your Mom is doing much better

Thanks Laura! Yes, the snow was lovely. I was so excited to see it. Went to a friend's cottage on Georgian Bay for the weekend. Forgot what it was like to feel like the Michelin Man in my snowgear. By the time we left Ontario I was SO ready to get out of the winter coat and boots, though. I like visiting it MUCH better than living it. LOL

So glad you're back Sis, I do miss your posts. I'm really looking forward to hearing the results of the various tests. There's nothing you can say that would make me upset and you are always fun to be around. For you and Mom
