    PEBUAC* (I am smrt.)

    Oh, hi Tuesday. **Have you voted in my poll yet??? (–>) Today felt like it went by reeeeeeeally fast. Yesterday was a slow hazy headachy day (I only slept for 3 hours on Sunday night… oy evay) and today was a blur! It started off a little rocky, but turned out nicely. Let’s recap: After finally sleeping MUCH better last night I woke up feeling like a new woman. I sent the Hubster off to work, curled up in my huge computer chair that I recently stole from the Hubs side of le office and caught up on some lovely blogs until I decided it was time to run. Now…

    Goodbye July*

    …helllllloooooo August! **Have you voted in my poll yet? (—>) Well, it certainly started the right way–today was a beautiful, clear 32°C sunny day that made me hope that we might actually see some summer weather before… well, next summer. We have had so much rain and mediocre temperatures that the entire month of July felt more like fall than summer… and who wants to wear their smokin’ new fall attire in July? Not I, says I. It’s been a busyish few days, but here’s a quick recap: Job Search* Well, still no luck on this front as yet. I applied for several more jobs as well as one that…

    Rainy Day*

    You know those days when you wake up and just know you’re going to be productive? (aka: realize that you cannot put things off any longer or you might lose your mind? haha) Today was that day. I did all those little things that have been bothering me for a while but have been too lazy to do. *I finally hauled the rest of our crap out to our storage locker so I can now access my piano. :)*I did laundry and washed my sheets… is there anything in the world better than fresh sheets? I think not.*I cleaned out my fridge / cupboards.*I vacuumed… like really vacuumed. I attacked…

    Hodge Podge*

    Today you get a random hodge podge of this and that. Be excited. I thought I’d start with a little something I found over at The Wife in Stilletto‘s blog that I really liked. She made a list of six random, unimportant, simple little things that make her happy. So, here are mine: 1. Waking up to sunshine.2. Warm towels out of the dryer.3. Peanut butter cookies.4. Tom Hanks + Meg Ryan movies.5. George Winston’s music.6. Avocado & cucumber sushi rolls. What are yours? Today I spent a long time reviewing my French grammar. I’m not even great with English grammar, so relearning French grammar has been about as fun…

    The Dreaded Downsize*

    (Ignore the alcohol box… we are not boozers! I swear!) Anyone want to come and unpack my apartment for me? Anyone? Anyone? One of the worst aspects of this whole moving thing is that not every apartment is the same layout. Our last apartment was very open-concept. One huge living room, one huge bedroom and a decent size bathroom and kitchen. All of the furniture we have fit well into this open-concept space. A lot of it is quite big (the hutch, shelves, wardrobe, etc) so finding spaces for it in our new place has been… interesting. It’s like a tetris game. “Well, this piece will fit here if I…
