(Not-So) New Life…..

Posted by Willa on May 30, 2008 under My Family, Travel

OK,we arrived here in Canada two weeks ago and I didn’t expect any “big changes” because we used to live in Oh,USA (for 6 years)and it’s only a couple of hours drive from where we live now and I’m still trying to get around the place,I’m just glad that the public transportation is avaiable so it means I don’t have to drive all the time if I want or need  something,I guess it’s an advantage because the gas price is keep going up and I think it doesn’t have any plan to get cheaper anytime soon. The weather is of course,just like Ohio weather,warm sometimes and then it gets cooler at night,the boys is still trying to get used to it.We might stay here for a year or so,it depends how hubby’s job goes and if everything is ok, I’ll try to convince him to just stay here for good,althought I have a second thought because my heart is still in US,I mean, my boys were born there,hubby is originally from there and his family is there and I don’t think he want to get rid of his US citizenship and I feel the same way for the boys,I think I’ll let then enjoy both worlds.For now,I will enjoy what we got and live it one day at a time and then we’ll take it from there.

There are still so many things that needs to be done,but what the heck?I’ll do it later,(yeah,I know,the lazy bug got me eh!). Specially now that we are US$1800 richer (ha ha ha ha),no,we just got our Stimulus check from US IRS,I think it’s a government project-whatever….anyway,it’s good to get extra money although if you really think about it,it’s not really extra I mean all those bills,I think those people or company,they can smell money,like we get the check today and wait for a day or so and the bills are on it’s way as well.They won’t let us enjoy it for a while,they just have to get their share soon!

New Digicam

I’ve been dying to buy a new digicam although my Olympus C-5000 that I bought a few years ago still serves me well. But now I want something small that I can take it anywhere with me,small enough to put it in my purse or just in my pocket, and this latest FE-340 of (of course,what else?) Olympus caught my eye.Oh please. . . forget the features,i’m not a pro photographer you know!,the only reason why I want this new one is because I’M SO LOVING THE REDNESS OF IT!,I’ll learn the other features later but for now,I’m all for Red.First,I thought I’m willing to try another brand,like Canon or Sony maybe,but like I said,I just fell inlove with this one the moment I saw it from Olympus website and also it cost me less than $200.Plus of course,I can also use my old XDCard from my other digicam.That’s all for now!
