Confessional Thursday

Today's confession is about wanting to sell everything and RUN! FAR AWAY!


Some days I wake up in this -40 (Celcius) weather and I just want to sell everything we own and move with Mr.BB to South Africa, Egypt, Antigua, or ANYWHERE but here! Red Deer has a population of 80,000 people. In the winter it's a little more (like 110,000) because people come here to work in the oil field. This is the 3rd largest city in the province of Alberta and it's a HOLE! Calgary and Edmonton are both 1 1/2 hours in the opposite direction, so that helps, but who wants to drive that far to go eat at a decent restaurant? I wish we lived in either city, I would be a little more content. I guess I shouldn't complain because I have my job that I enjoy and it's not like we are stranded in the middle of no where, it's just really hard when you have no friends or family around.


There is no Taco Bell here. How the HELL is there not a Taco Bell here, but in cities that are smaller there are?! Makes no sense. There is also no Harvey's (which is a delicious Canadian burger place) or Red Lobster (which is my favorite)!


We plan on moving to Florida in 2011 (SO far away) if all goes well with Mr.BB's spouse visa appication (or whatever that's called). I can't wait.

1st Blog


I'm kind of excited to have started a blog. It's been a long time since I wrote anything, mostly because I just had too much shit and it was way too personal. HURRAY FOR NEW BEGINNINGS! I feel a lot better since I moved to a new place (Red Deer, Alberta) and got a new job (Office Manager at the Crisis Centre) and started a new school (Athabasca). Lots of new beginnings. Sometimes it's kind of scary, but I think that since I have done it so many times in my life I'm not as intimidated as I used to be. HA! Take that intimidation. My poor kitty has been having an asthma episode this whole weekend, I can't take her to the vet until I get her records from the vet in London. They are being painfully slow. Poor Zero (Calico on the right)! I love you too, Cosmo(other furbaby)!
