We're home as of late last night! Already I am starting to be an expert on hotel rooms. No coffee machine in a room is just WRONG! So we bought an electric kettle! LOL! We could make hot cocoa, coffee, tea, cup o'soup, instant oatmeal. Fridges are important too, then we can buy milk and eat out of those tiny cereal boxes on mornings. ;)
Yesterday at 6am, we passed in front of Canada's Parliament in Ottawa. A sense of pride came over me, it was weird but at the same time, so many decisions are taken place there, it was nice to see it up close like that. By 6:30am, we were at yet another Walmart and they were in the same mall as Woolaine. If you ever are in the Orleans area, please go and check the store out. The couple (I'm guessing the owners!?) there were VERY friendly, proud to talk about knitting with Carl and I. I wished I had enough time 'cause I would have bought some yarn for sure. I got to see and touch Jo Sharp's tweed, I have only heard about Jo Sharp in magazines.
I got switched teams at work again. So in two weeks I worked on 3 different areas of Walmart. I ended my week in jewellery, I got to sop for watches at the same time! LOL! Scanning watches one by one sure takes a long time but at least it's pretty easy and then we start working in the crafts section. :) Just a reminder, when checking the yarn at Walmart have a little thought for me! LOL! I'm counting all those balls, either they are in the right spot or not. So many textures, so many colors. It's hard to resist them sometimes!
That's it for now, got my first 2 week paycheck last night, that was niiiiiiiiiiiice! Might splurge on myself with a personal CD player, it would be nice to listen to some of my kind of music when we travel for hours. Some times let's just say that the music the 7 other travellers like aren't quite my taste. ;)
Off to go register my BIG girl to kindergarden! She couldn't be more excited, then we will treat her to some at Cora's to celebrate her big day. It's the kind of restaurant where they pile your plate with huge amounts of the freshest of fruits. YUM! You have no idea how much I crave fresh fruits after a week of restaurant foods. We did good though, still no fast foods in our diet.
hugs, enjoy the weekend! :)
