Hello and I'm back from a forced hiatus. Not knowing where my laptop was or my camera really prevented me from getting any "work" done. The crappy half of house-sitting that was pecking away at the remains of my sanity is over! Forever! All my stuff is now here in this messy apartment that is my messy apartment and I can finally begin to relax a little bit.

Brian's parents safely returned home from Scotland and we surrendered their hour, their kids and our lives back. I still make the daily rounds to my own parents house to tend to sick cats and a new-found ant infestation (ew) but it's really not too bad. In fact, I get a lot of downtime there, for instance, I had an eight-hour nap right after my work shift. Not bad.



Someone is happy to have us home permanently.


In my away time I have gone to Ottawa, saw the War Museum and went to Upper Canada Village. Here are pictures from all that.


In my opinion, the War Museum was boring but it's not the War Museum's fault, it's just not really an interest of mine. Admission is free after 4pm and they did have a very disturbing exhibit on Eugenics. I am more of a Nature Museum fan myself but the guys I traveled with out numbered me. Tanks and guns beat dinosaur bones. A lot of people were walking around getting their pictures taken with canons and other weapons that have killed a lot of people, kind of tasteless really, but I find society to be awkward. We don't know what to do with our stale history but to pose along side it and give a thumbs up.


The wooded area that I stumbled over on Canada Day was flooded over, no surprise there after all the crazy downpours we've been having lately. We took Meagan out there briefly and got bombarded by frogs.


This is what I get for not buying new shoes all year, the worst and best foot tanlines in the history of foot tanlines.


The Upper Canada Village day-trip definitely deserves it own special post. It takes me way too long to blog about how I haven't been blogging lately, all because I don't micro-manage my time in any particular way. Summer's almost over, you know. This was supposed to my my last hurrah for July but August is happening right now!


I am in need of a real, honest to goodness vacation. To Hawaii or a jungle paradise or something.Perhaps I should invest in more lottery tickets. I purchased my first ticket since 2005 today and won $8. My luck has been flopping back and forth lately, but, if everything was a constant life would be boring, and boring won't do.

Now to hit publish before the laptop dies. Goodnight~
