Sorry, I can't believe it's been a month since I posted, it felt like I just did.
I've been super busy. My parents bought a new house in Saanichton. It's super nice - totally redone, 2 minutes from the beach, ocean views and a huge backyard with plenty of room for workshops for my Dad. So that's nice for them, but they needed to get their current house ready to be put up for sale on April 16th. So I've spent the last two weekends and several days off work over there helping them pack, organize, move furniture, scrape wallpaper off the wall, and paint, paint, paint. It was lots of hard work bit it made a huge difference and I hope the house sells quickly.
But Ty and I got rewarded for all our hard work with a new wall mount for our newish 40inch Sony LCD. So we now have a TV hanging on our wall above our fireplace. I remember when that first came out years ago and I said that I was going to get that as that's the coolest thing ever - such a good use of space! So now we have it! Yeah! Our living room seems so much bigger now too! Unfortunately we can't afford to expensive cables or digital cable tv at the moment, but we sprung for the HD cable for the Wii so that looks pretty good. Maybe when Ty gets a job we can get more gadjets.
Marathon training is going good. I'm way under training - only running 2 days a week - but I'm not injured so we'll see how it goes. The Sun Run is tomorrow and then next weekend is down to 23km, then 6km, then the marathon May 6th! My chiropracter said as long as I didn't go anything stupid I should be okay for the Marathon. So keep your fingers crossed for me.
Tina's off in Costa Rica for 7 weeks; she's volunteering on an organic farm right now and I'm jealous. The weather is beautiful and I'm sure she's having a great time playing in the mud :)
I've also finally joined Facebook. I was totally against it, but I have to admitt it's pretty cool to hear from people that I haven't seen since high school or university. And it's a great way to keep in touch with ISUers. So I guess now I'm hooked, until the next trendy site comes along.....
