Uhm YES, It's Cold

Arctic Air Dips Down From Canada...

On Thursday, it's going to be -17 degrees Celsius. For those of you keeping score at home, that's 6 degrees Farenheit folks! I take one of those flax seed filled neck warmers with me in the morning. It's the only thing that keeps me from going insane from the cold. I really need to figure out some thicker clothes for work. My boss keeps giving me scary things to think about. She mentioned my car might not start on the really really cold days. Scary.

"Baby Eli Doesn't Get To Go To The Superbowl" aka "We Might Need That Moron After All". It's funny how this idiot's career is hinging on the fact that the Giants sucked it up and got beat by the Eagles. Thanks, Donovan. Did anyone notice the playoffs are coming down to mostly bird-related teams? Ravens, Eagles, Cardinals and Dodos. Oops, I mean the Steelers. Anyway, just an observation.

Below is another funny comic from xkcd. A slight hint to Ian that our anniversary is coming up... =P I'm sure he knows though... Seeing as our anniversary present to each other seems to be the new dining room table and chairs we got this weekend. We kind of mixed and matched and got this table...


...with these chairs.


Yay for no longer sitting on the floor in front of the couch for dinner... whenever it arrives.

YOU'VE JUST BEEN SACKROLLED!

Oh, snap... I gotcha good!

Back To Work

I'm back to work after the first snow storm in awhile and feeling crappy. I've got this persistant dry cough... thankfully the HR guy here is working on my benefits before my Canadian benefits get in. This means I will be able to go see a doctor before I get my OHIP card.

Not much else is up here... Ian and I are frustrated with the elevators in our building. It takes WAY too long to get on it. You'll push the button and sit there 5 to 10 minutes waiting for it to come. Most likely this is because of the construction but it's ridiculous. I tried to leave to pick up Ian from work and ended up waiting 8 minutes for the elevator. And what sucks is you know they are just holding it on some floor because you don't even hear it running. I would take the stairs but frankly at 6:30 in the morning I don't want to be climbing down 6 floors in the frozen stairwell.

I better go shake off my sleepiness and get to work.

Snow Day Again

This morning I got all ready to go... drove out of the building... heard the news... couldn't see in front of my car... and headed back home. I think it's a good thing... but the roads look okay right now. I'm sure the rest of the week will be better.

Converting To Metric

My Nephew - Mr. Sillykins

He has a SERIOUS drool problem. Other than that... everything is all good in the hood with him. I must say though... he is taking on Ian in the faux hawk arena... and I do believe he is winning. Sorry Ian - you know I love you but come on... it's the COOP!

38 Minutes

That's how long it took me to get in this morning. I can live with that. I think it will probably take me less time tomorrow (weather permitting) since I didn't exactly know where I was going to reach the highway. I'm currently typing with my heated gloves Ian got me. They connect to a USB port and keep my hands toasty warm... They are the kind of mittens that you flip back so you can use your fingers... Spiffy, eh?

Apartment Walkthrough

Here is a short walkthrough of the apartment. Please excuse me at the end... I've been cleaning all day!

Moving Day!

We have moooooooooooooved. On New Years Day, we officially moved into the apartment. Note to self: Never move in the winter time! It was severely cold outside... the wind would just blow right through you. There were only a few hiccups... the apartment building itself is still very much under construction. The hallway doesn't have the carpet in... the elevators are still covered in protecting layers of plastic and wood... my parking spot underground isn't even ready yet. Our apartment is for the most part done. You can really tell though that construction crews have just been through. There are bunch of dents and scraps throughout that may need to be fixed. We had a plumbing issue in the guest bath that was fixed today... little things but tonight we are going to document it all at their request. Our heat isn't working and it should be fixed on Monday. All in all it's wonderful... doesn't feel like a home yet... Ian said it was at first a freight train (don't ask me why...) but today it's a little more like a hotel. The view is awesome too...

We have received our living room furniture - I've been dying to sit on something other than the floor or the bed. I will post pictures tomorrow of everything as it gets cleaned up. We should receive our bedroom furniture tomorrow. Oh and we got our internet in! Yay!
