The Perils of Paul & Luna: AnNOTversary

Well have been so busy lately that we even forgot our wedding anniversary on June 18th. If mum hadn't have called it would have just slipped by. My friend Jeff emailed a day later 19th here 18th back home, because his is the same day, so I would have known after the fact but I guess being away from my job I didn't have Jeff to remind me that it was coming. So we haven't celebrated it yet we wanted to go to a buffet last night at the casino but the table they offered us wasn't that great and the place was empty. But they assured us it was all booked, a booking as they call it.

Oh and we've been married 6 years, and it just feel like yesterday 10 years.

I put the money on the car and I pick it up on Wed morning. So I'll try to send a picture (yeah right no pictures out of me so far so don't expect much). This internet is killing me and we are down to about 1.5gig left. I may try a different company but people say it's is killer slow. But if I can do emails then I'd be ok. We'll see.

I saw a place today nice but way overpriced I saw a place in the same complex last Friday cheaper and bigger with a better balcony, so I'll see if we can go back there this week and take L there.

Actually I feel a little disheartend I called a few placement agencies and they don't really place computer programmers here much. They gave me the line "send in you resume and we'll ..." you know the line. But they had plenty of dishwashing jobs available if I wanted to do something a little different, I'm kidding, although they did say there I could take some temp work if I wanted doing ???? Guess I better get working on that resume, and for me that is a job I don't like. Mind you I L and I did a great job on her resume to get this job.

The weather here is great, not too hot and not a cloud in the sky. They are still doing a lot of burning the brush. The aborigionals used to do this in the past now the the city does it, although I think the aboriginals still do this elsewhere.

The microwave may get fixed soon, I'm supposed to hear from the real estate agent, I'm sure they'll want to visit to see it in action for themselves. I'm sure that the microwave will do it's 1111 tune for him/her and they'll know that it is really fried. Funny cause it looks brand new to me, must be a lemon.

Speaking of lemons we went to some nurseries yesterday and we saw a lemon tree with blossom on it. It smelled great so that's what I want. Things are funny, some of the house plants we have in Canada are plants they put outside here. In Canada they are cheap, here expensive. But other plants that look really cool and they are big here are cheap $30. So hopefully we get a place that we can have some really interesting plants on. One thing is for sure whatever we will get won't be anything like we have in Canada.

Mind you one of the best shows that they have here is the sunset. It's free (except for the price of gas), it happens every day (well so far cause there's been no rain), lots of people watch/photo/video it and no one ever claps when the shows finished ... well except me I do, they all look at me and smirk.

Well that's all for now not much peril going on I'm sure there's some out there somewhere to be found but things are starting to settle in except we have to take a loan to go to a buffet place at the Casino.
