Good Start To A Great Year

Over the holidays we had some trouble finding and switching our internet providers, so there were a lot of people who we had to wait to contact via Magic Jack. But I am happy to say that Doug got us up and running again.

Doug and I enjoyed our Christmas break, but it's back to work with us. Just like the Durham Region houses Ajax, Ontario on the edge of the GTA, our home in Sherwood Park is in Strathcona County, on the edge of Edmonton. Doug works at a refinery on the border of Edmonton and Strathcona County. You may remember that I work for the same company, but at their head office in Edmonton. Well, just before Christmas I started doing work for a project up in Fort Saskatchewan about 45 km away. We both have to be at work for the same time, so having only one car was a bit of an obstacle.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary to me!!!! I got a new car!
The 2010 Ford Focus has it all! A wicked sound system, heated leather seats and side mirrors, sunroof, Bluetooth, and a dash full of light up buttons for things!

Much as I have been enjoying the car, I have been feeling a little guilty that Doug has barely had a chance to use it. The Buick has a large engine, and even with gas prices bumping between 80 and 90 cents, it is just more cost efficient for me to use the Ford.

In home news, Mitsy and I had a small falling out, when she decided to pee on my white sheep skin rug! I have no idea what that was about, but I will be scouring Pintrest for a cleaning solution! 

I have been going to the gym after work. It has been fun and exciting so far, but I am looking forward to working out with Doug. He's a little concerned that I will try to kill him, so he's waiting until "the novelty wares off". It's a shame that none of my friends here live in Sherwood Park. Sometimes it would be nice to workout with someone other than the voices on my MP3 player!
One of the locations by my house has a Jacob's Ladder! I had never seen one before, but it is a conveyer style wooden rung ladder. It's my favourite toy there right now.

Speaking of the gym, I have a date.

Bye!
