On the road again
For me, the last month has been late to bed, early to rise, with a hearty dash of work, life, social engagements and sheer tiredness all thrown in for good measure. I’ll be sure to give more updates about my new life in Ontario (I just arrived yesterday – give me a break! Haha!), but for now, while I’m still getting settled in and organized, here are some pictures to keep you happy!
I made this box out of several other boxes. There’s a big DVD shelf in there! I am quite proud of this box, and I should be – it took me two hours to complete!
I used two big cans and two small cans of primer to completely cover my blue, purple, pink, and taupe walls in the apartment. My hands were so sore from holding the paint roller and pressing it against the walls. Claw hands! Claw hands! But, got the deposit back, so my gnarled fingers were worth it.
The much-required winch-strap set for the rooftop luggage.
The start of deciding how to fit the last of our stuff in the back of the car.
We were one of those loaded-down vehicles on the road that people with nothing in their cars make fun of.
So long, Alberta!
An idyllic picture on the Prairies.
I actually kind of blend in here.
I’m here! I’m here!
My mom was happy to see us!

I think you should have said that you not only made the box, but that you made the DVD shelf as well!!! The pictures are great!!

Ahhhhhh….. you painted over the purple wall! I was wondering what your landlord was going to say about that — and now I know, haha.
It’s too bad — I bet it looked so much better in there with the splash of colour you added. (I guess the new tenants will never know what they’re missing….)

Joanne, it’s funny because the apartment manager was telling me before I left that most people who came in to view the apartment loved the purple walls in the bedroom – “so daring!” Haha!
